Aldi do 1080p 14" Laptop for £199 - April 2018
ShellfishClive replied to Dos_Box's topic in Other Stuff
It doesn't look too bad in all fairness. I just wonder about the actual quality of the casing, it does have a very cheap look. -
Has anyone got an issue with this when using Photoshop? If Veyon is used to monitor the class, when students go to open a document or import a Photo to Photoshop the file explorer window just hangs. As soon as Veyon disconnects it loads straight up. Any ideas?

Chrome not applying system proxy settings until IE is launched
ShellfishClive replied to CHiLL's topic in Windows 10
The issue lies with internet settings being linked to wininet.dll via Internet Explorer. If you change your proxy settings via GPO this file needs to be "refreshed" in order to work. I've never been able to make a script to do it, I do have a C# full application that does it however it does alot of other things too so I can really share it. I will look late this morning to see if I can make a small script that will do this and I'll post it here. -
I think the issue lies with the way policies work then they are applied to machines. The printer simply take too long to map when logging in that is what causes the issue. You can get this with Drive Maps too however that's more straight forward so they apply so much quicker, which makes them apply most of the time. It's just GPO being GPO in this case.

You should be able to use any drives you want, I can't see why you wouldn't be able too. The drives from HP directly are going to be expesnive as. Make sure you can make an Array with the new drives and you should be fine.

RemoteApps not working via Mac OS - Protocol Error
ShellfishClive replied to fiza's topic in Windows Server 2016
Not excalty a fix but we used to have similiar issues, we got the people who used Macs to download this from their app store: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id714464092?mt=8 It seemed to solve most of the issues that people were having, not saying it will work here but it's worth a shot. -

Is my brand new drive faulty? Showing failed on our Dell server.
ShellfishClive replied to Rich-Tech's topic in Hardware
It could be your RAID card that is failing, do you have a spare server you could try the drives in? If the server is in warranty send it back to Dell they are pretty slow to sort it but it saves you having to fiddle around. -
We map printers by using GPO to drop a file onto the C drive and then a .bat file runs on login and adds the printers based on the file dropped. We've found this has always been a better way to do it as GPO is so unreliable when mapping them.

What actually needs encrypting?
ShellfishClive replied to enjay's topic in Data Protection & Information Handling
We are going through OneDrive with the staff at the moment so they can learn how to use it, we have had a few staff complain about the blocking of USB sticks saying "My life is on there, don't block them.". Even from a non GDPR point of view putting your "life" on a USB is just a bad idea, so that's another reason the school are in favour of just blocking them altogether. -
What actually needs encrypting?
ShellfishClive replied to enjay's topic in Data Protection & Information Handling
Are people still on the idea of using USB sticks? We are blocking them all together at some point but I do see people wanting to still use them. Is the risk not as bad as we think it is when it comes to them? -
That is one of my all time favourite games, I remember getting so close to the end when you are in Sin and then my brother deleting the save from my memory card. I was so angry, I did manage to do it all again but it took me forever.

I read about this last night on Twitter, they haven't released how it happened yet. RIP.

-Path shouldn't matter too much as it knows the first directory is the one that the file should move from. Try running it as admin in ISE mode. In the count.txt file put a 1 in there that predefined as the first number, if it's still erroring would you be able to send me the error message that you are having, it's working fine for me. Sorry for the late reply. Edit: I have attached the file here: Backup Script.ps1 I believe the copying and paste method was messing with the formatting of the document which would cause issues.

[color=#696969][font=Monaco]$file="C:\Scripts\Count.txt" $count=Get-Content$file $1=1 $2=2 $3=3 if($count-eq1){ Write-Host"Backup 1" Copy-Item"C:\iSCSIVirtualDisks\man-vd.vhdx"-Destination "E:\Folder 1" Clear-Content$file $2|Set-Content$file } elseif($count-eq2){ Write-Host"Backup 2" Copy-Item"C:\iSCSIVirtualDisks\man-vd.vhdx"-Destination "E:\Folder 2" Clear-Content$file $3|Set-Content$file } else { Write-Host"Backup 3" Copy-Item"C:\iSCSIVirtualDisks\man-vd.vhdx"-Destination "E:\Folder 3" Clear-Content$file $1|Set-Content$file } [/font][/color] This should do what you need, it reads a number from the text file and then backups to that number. When the script finishes it changes the number in the text file so the next time the script runs it will point to the next location and will loop everytime it runs. Hope it helps, let me know if you use it or need help understanding it.

It could be that the printer isn't disconnecting when the pervious user has logged off. Are all the other do you have any other policies that are in the same GPO and do they always work?

We just got new Air Con! It's one of those fancy ones where you have a glass door on your wall that makes a hole to the outside, not too sure how to turn it on though as it's still red hot.

You could manually configure your spam policies to try to reduce the amount that comes in: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj200684(v=exchg.150).aspx However if they are randomly generated and come from different domains all the time it's going to be hard to stop them coming in.
