Seems like ZeroTier really took over the work that Pertino was doing. Not directly, but in a sense.

You can adjust the height of the reply box to fix that.

Grab the arrow and drag up. My tablet sometimes gets messed up like that.

had not noticed that previous. but I see that now. Thank you.

$718

Use the drive that is in it until you find a good deal on an SSD.

Sadly booting the system on another similar laptop didn't resolve the clean shutdown. And when I try to boot on a different computer, I get a Partition Table error.

So mounted as Read Only and am in the process of moving the user profile(s) to an external drive.

sudo mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb1 /media/username/Ubuntu

Is what I had to use.

That joke has been around for a bit.

@momurda said in Printer Using WSD vs IP:

You can try disabling WSD on the printer itself, if it isn't a service for Windows to see perhaps it wont try to use it.

This is the same thing we do to avoid this nasty printer plague 😄

DIY Raspberry Pi Outernet Satellite Receiver Assembly & Testing | #EduCase Project Build

Well, you could do that with nearly every piece of hardware (*). But Raspberry does one great thing: People get creative.

(*) just as an example, you could write a I2C driver for some external IC using your PC's serial / parallel port. Ok, nowadays one would need a USB-2-RS232 / USB-2-LPT, but you'll get the idea 😉

lol firewall problems.

Slightly off topic, do you have issues with them keeping correct date/time?

Yes, we do. Have you seen the same thing?

Yes 😠
Caused mayhem when groups of them would meet and no one could get on to the WiFi network.

When we figured out what the issue was, we implemented a time sync GPO for them.

A time sync GPO, aren't they already doing that with the PDCs emulator?

Should be by default.

Running again this morning.

I would but it's a customer machine so off to MS to get fixed it goes.

I still like the sledgehammer option

@DustinB3403 said in Simple Basic eMail providers:

Is the question really "Can I send / receive email without an SMTP server?"

No - I know that much.

Looking for a simple basic web based email provider, that isn't Google, O365, Yahoo (puke) etc.

So you just want web mail? I think that everyone provides that these days. I'm not aware of anyone that does not.

@gjacobse said in HP DL385 G5 Repair:

While in NY for MangoCon 2016, I picked up a HP DL385 G5 from the NTG Inventory.

As it turns out,.. it would seem that this is the unit with a failed MOBO.

Is it worth $100 (plus S&H) to replace?

DL385 G5

Dual PSU Dual CPU Two 73GB 15.1k drives Two 146GB 10k drives

I got a DL380 G6 with 24 GB RAM for $200 off of Amazon. I'd say no.

That's why we didn't get it fixed.

I have been patching Windows 7 machines that haven't been turned on for a few months and have found that the update process takes an age of man to complete without manual intervention. (local WSUS)

Fortunately, I have found a process that's worked to speed up the update process.

Download and Install the latest Windows Update Agent
-- here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/949104 Run MS Windows Update Diagnoistic tool
-- here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2714434 Install Windows6.1-KB3172605-x64 (post install reboot required)
-- here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53332 run wuauclt /r /a

That is way too intense on IT staff time.

Click check for updates. Close window and tell user to work like normal. Next morning, click install. Close window and tell user to work like normal and when it pops up to reboot, do so.

Way less IT time involved.

Yes, this is true but it can be done while doing other things on the PC. You know, multitasking 😉

how many computers have the card readers? Instead of messing with the rest of the company's drive letters you could script something like:

diskpart
select vol g
assign letter=b

You have to put the diskpart commands in .txt file and then specify that as the script for diskpart to use, but you get the idea. Just move the local media card reader to a letter that's not used by the company and be done with it.

Can you rename ADUC Security Groups without breaking the linking to GPO?0_1474908000492_2016-09-26 12_38_32-SSI-DC1 - NTG - Connected.png

I have some groupings that I want to 'filter' by, but to do so, I would need to rename the Security Group Names

I have

Accounting Printer Deployment Engineering Printer Deployment Sales Printer Deployment Shop Printer Deployment

and I would rather have:

Printer Deployment Accounting Printer Deployment Engineering etc

Should be able to. Group names are just identifiers there is really a UID that each group has that is actually linked to the GPOs.

Updated, guess we'll just wait to see if it broke anything. It's just printers so nothing critical.

@gjacobse said in How to turn off iOS Suggested Words:

Recent updates to the iOS system have made a number of changes. One of which is you don't swipe down to turn off Suggested words when using the keyboard.

How to turn off the QuickType keyboard on your iPhone or iPad

Launch any app and pull up the keyboard. Tap and hold on the emoji icon in the bottom left of the keyboard. ... Swipe upwards and hover your finger over the Predictive toggle and release your finger. To enable QuickType again, just follow the same three steps.os

I was not under the impression the swiping down on the handle was disabling it. Only hiding it.

Probably not... They also just released 10.1 Public Beta 1. I imagine the backup encryption fix will be in the 10.1 release. But it is just speculation.
