Thanks! Free is good and this is something I would like to review. I am currently the only one running 10 Enterprise in my company and I am waiting for some things to get sorted out before I consider replacing all of our Windows 7 systems with it.

Sure, when I want to buy/download something I have to make sure I pick the correct account - but we've been doing that on mobile devices for years.

Only you people in the WIndows phone world. I've never done that. Not sure when it would even come up.

LOL - I knew you would pick on that - but no, seriously - on my Android phone I would switch between different amazon accounts back in the day because they didn't allow shared content between account on Amazon services.

FYI - Google and Amazon services don't work well if at all on Phones phone (though Amazon does have an Amazon store app for buying stuff on Windows phone, but not for apps).

If I had one still, I might consider it. But a combination of ultra slow performance and nearly unusably small screen (for windows) - I have no desire to even try.

It's still full VDI. VDI existed long before the modern concept of VDI specific tools. This is all that VDI used to be.

I'm confused - You're using folder redirection, so the local copy of the data is only there for speed or network connectivity loss. So there should be nearly zero data loss if you delete the profile after the user logs out.

I'm not sure if there is a reg key on Windows Workstation OS, but there definitely is on Server OS for Remote Desktop Services.

This was something I've seen often turned on to keep the local storage needs of the RDS server from ballooning out of control from left over profiles.

User logs into RDS, downloads profile, user logs out - copy is pushed to the server and local directory is deleted.

Pretty standard practice.

I'd be surprised if this wasn't available on say Windows 7, etc.

Greaaaaaaaat.

When you are talking about Ubuntu, you're talking about admins using it.. not home users. As such the lack of new things making would never be acceptable to home users - they are constantly looking for new things.. and if they can't find it in the normal store.. they will go elsewhere if it's possible at all.

I've never met those home users. What things are they looking for? I rarely see home users install anything but malware. All they use are web browsers.

@Dashrender What's weird though is I've gotten them to work here and there despite using msiexec. BUT then I changed some things around (added spaces....spaces make life hell but I wanted to see if I had to use " " around the path or not...utter failure, upon changing things back....I broke the installs)

But yeah, I'm happy 🙂
Now I just need to add what I've figured out to the other programs, which a few auto-activate lol, testing will have to be live.
Ugh then I have to make more deployments for our Autodesk products, which actually isn't that bad..

@Dashrender said:

to bad you didn't have the Win 7 VL code they used to have (I'm assuming you can't find it on the VL website under their account?)

because if you can, I'd just use that, again calling if it won't activate with an MAK.

Just reporting back to say that I successfully reinstalled everything to the SSD over the weekend. Pulled the old drive on Monday, and everything has been working well with the upgraded drive. 👍

These vendors know, that over a period of time, the client becomes totally dependent on their product, that they (vendors) can dish out any bullshit, and be rest assured that the client would HAVE to lap it up .. To an extent, the client himself is to be blamed for this..

What's amazing, though, is that customers accept this crap the first time. Once the vendor "owns" them, sure, they feel trapped. But at some point, this insanity goes on and people make themselves trapped voluntarily!

Some phones will not be getting it at all, particularly lower end ones.

I think that's crazy. I have a Lumia 635 that I use if I go riding 4 wheelers or whatever because it cost me $40. Doesn't get much lower end than that, but it's supposed to get the update.

It's my understanding that this phone will be getting the update, it's just a matter of when. Are you on AT&T?

Ya its supposed to get it. That's what I was saying, are there any others that are lower end than that? I have straight talk but it uses AT&T.

@scottalanmiller said:

Isn't this a client who was fired? Problem fixed!

Yup... unfortuneatley the client refused to put in the hardware and required all updates to all machines be shut off, and requested all machines be rolled back from 10 that he hated....

And instability often leads to security vulnerabilities, they tend to go hand in hand.

@scottalanmiller The only time I think I would consider using it would be if I had a remote office that had a metered connection (satellite) or very low bandwidth available.

Even then I would only do it exclusively in a company that sends a lot more email internally rather than externally and that would probably be a big company and that would likely mean that we just need to fix the Internet situation.

I was still talking about WSUS.

Of note,.. it seems that it is not just KeePass "one point three" or "two point three" - in each case, it's the thirtieth published incarnation of that particular version of KeePass after the "point zero" version (as commented from below).

lol. I reckon I'll have to try and do the update since it has been squealing at me for a few weeks now.

Nice.

No - User accounts are 'left' so that is connection to the AD / DC is lost, then the user can still log on.

That's not totally true, all profiles files are left, that doesn't mean you can still login to it necessarily. There's no process for AD to talk to the local computer to tell it the user was removed. It is just a directory service, The local computer has to request to login to the account. There is no method AD to tell computers anything changed without them requesting.

Looks like there is a beta...

Just putting it out there for the sake of it.

You can run the User State Migration Tool...
