This goes back to 2018 for me so my memory maybe a little hazy on the details. I think it was to do with MITM type filtering and to get wheels installed I did the following: python -m pip install --upgrade pip --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install numpy --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pandas --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pyglet --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pygame --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install wxpython --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pillow --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install opencv-python --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install matplotlib --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install dash --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org And this was when our filtering had us going through a proxy: python -m pip install --upgrade pip --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install numpy --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pandas --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pyglet --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pygame --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install wxpython --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install pillow --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install opencv-python --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install matplotlib --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.orgpip install dash --proxy [proxy_address:proxy_port] --trusted-host pypi.python.org --trusted-host pypi.org --trusted-host files.pythonhosted.org

The issue appears to be somewhere between our Internet filtering solution and the October KB5018421. Removing the update fixes the issue, as does leaving the update in place and removing the filtering software.

That does work - thank you. I hadn't come across the dsregcmd previously, so I've got a new toy.

We're seeing an interesting issue, after applying KB5018421 a domain joined computer cannot be renamed. Removing the update allows the machine to be renamed. It mentions an eventlog, but which one I do not know. It's not SYSTEM, AAD, or PowerShell. PS C:\windows\system32> Rename-Computer -NewName F57-0 -Restart Rename-Computer : Fail to rename computer 'TEND45D648129B2' to 'F57-0' due to the following exception: Unable to update hostname in Azure AD.

I'm just starting to look at creating an image of Windows 11 for deployment and I've noticed an odd issue. I haven't thoroughly tested this yet, but at the moment I believe that going from Audit Mode to OOBE with generalize seems to remove the Windows Terminal app if the device used to create the image was connected to the Internet during the image creation. Has anyone else seen this? Is this behaviour be design? 🤷♂️ -Martin

Tested it here. Can confirm the key has to be under 9.0 or it doesn't work.

It loads now. Thank you.

.Net 4.8 is definitely installed. are there any other prerequisites that LTSC vs Edu might have chopped out?

No, nothing is displayed. I'll send you my email address in case you want to contact me that way.

Has anyone else tried to run EWP (4.8.0.0) on LTSC? I've submitted an issue on the EWP site, but I wondered if anyone else had tried it.

When we next get the issue reported I will see if I can get the teacher to abandon the meeting and set up again with a "Meet now" and see what happens.

I accessed one of the teacher sessions that this was happening to, used their Teams to invite myself to the lesson and didn't get a chat option. I tried leaving and re-joining but that didn't change anything.

Did you get any further with this? We are having this issues with a few classes where this is happening.

Book the room for a few hours or disable the automatic shutdown at night, run a script that triggers each install in turn. Before starting the install, copy the source locally. The installers weren't reliable when installing from the network. I was going to rant about Adobe for a while, CBA.

Just in case you hadn't noticed, it's 2020.

I'm on to our SIMS support because we've already done all of this. I am not going to be happy if I have to move the databases back to SQL 2012 and then be forced to move them again before SQL 2012 runs out of extended support.

We've recently migrated to Microsoft SQL 2016 and at the same time implemented Solus 3. Since the migration we are getting complaints daily that SIMS .net is much slower than it used to be. I'm wondering how other SIMS .net schools run the server(s) and instance(s). One server, one instance, multiple databases One server, multiple instances, one database per instance Multiple servers, single instance, single database Multiple servers, one for SIMS, FMS and Discover and one for SOLUS Other? (Moving from SIMS is not an option)

Come on guys... it's only been 8 years!

If the FMS database works the same way as the SIMS database, when the database is moved to a new server all of the passwords get reset.

We have had XIBO up and running for years. The interface can be quirky, but once mastered it the displays look great. We also use some Android based boxed as clients, if you are interested I'll try to find out more about them.

At times like this I'd run hardware diagnostics on it. I use PC-Check by Eurosoft to do this. There may be free alternatives, but I find this works well.

Tried Nova T and Exams Org as a user that is definitely not a local admin, works fine (as best I can tell, I don't know what I'm doing with either).

I didn't do anything in particular, but I am wondering if Exams Org and Nova T are only working because I'm a local admin on the box. I don't point to a CONNECT.INI on the network, and IIRC I allow write back to the VFS. I will test the package with a non-admin account and update this.

We are (hopefully were) getting an issue after blanking screens too. I'll update my ticket with Lenovo to let them know I'm implementing this (potential) fix.

Hello fellow EduGeeks, Does anyone have V6 of Teachers Report Writer please? The link on the RayLearning website throws up a forbidden page. I am going to let Ray know about the issue, there's nothing on the site to suggest it has been forbidden purposefully. Thanks in advance. -Martin
