      Two weeks left for those trying to go from Windows 7 to Windows 10. The Free Upgrade depends on the OS being current, remember.

      Do you think those people who have not upgraded by the 14th will be UNABLE to install and activate from their Windows 7 or 8.1 key?

      Notice how I didn't ask about any licensing issues. I already know that answer. 🙂

      Likely the ability to upgrade won't change, if there was time/date detection, we'd already have heard about it.

      Interesting, I didn't know Windows 8 has many features, but I don't think I can consider install Windows 8 in a Pentium 4 3.0 GHz with 3 GB RAM.

      You should not consider ANY old OS, really ever. Outside of learning what support used to look like, which is effectively worthless, conceptually using an old OS is a bad idea. Windows 8, especially, is only one generation newer than Windows 7 which is already crazy old. Windows 8 is something like eleven versions old already!

      My answer to the OP. I mean I am not saying MS is good or bad, or Linux OS's are good or bad. But the OP was just a whiny bitch.

      @scottalanmiller said in Updating Windows from the Command Line:

      Keeping a system up to date is very important and doing so from the command line can be one of the easiest ways to do this on Windows.

      Updating a Windows system, server or desktop, can be as simple as running this command as an administrator:

      wuauclt.exe /detectnow /updatenow

      If you only want to look for the latest updates without applying them, you can just run:

      wuauclt.exe /detectnow

      Also:
      wuauclt.exe /a /detectnow

      (/ResetAuthorization)

      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.

      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.

      @scottalanmiller

      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!

      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.

      Easier question to ask - did any computers loose power at all? If the answer is yes, then ask, was it all or just some? If some, then possibly you had a 3 phase power related issue. If not, then this is not an issue.

      We need to understand where and when it is happening and why it potentially makes sense and if and where potential concerns exist. But that data is being collected itself is not a major concern.

      Agreed. I want a list of what they collect & why & how it's used & who can use it. Then I'll quit sharpening my pitchfork and disperse the mob.

      Edit: I may settle for less explanation if they get super specific about what they collect.

      Never run the controller for my home ap at home? Curious -

      If you have a VM infrastructure at home, and will dedicate (it can generally be turned off) a VM to it, then at home is fine.

      The units tie themselves to the unique ID each controller install generates, so you cannot just pop up a new controller, configure it and have the PA get the info. It will not do it.

      Like to know more about this... How you have yours set up.

      I have a VM dedicated to it on one of our Hyper-V servers colocated in a datacenter. This controller runs all of the UniFi AP for our home office workers and all of our small clients with only 1 AP at a site.
