As an employee I think I a would be more annoyed seeing and hearing my company's own commercials at work on a constant basis.

I actually like the case on a mac for once! Still doesnt justify $6k lol

Nadella has been a great CEO for Microsoft

@brandon220 said in Apple locking down iPhone batteries:

I'm fine with this. Everyone gets screens and batteries replaced from questionable repair shops and the phones never work the same again.

Just because you're fine with it. Does it mean people should lose the ability to repair their own devices? Should the manufacturer of a vehicle only be able to work on that vehicle and solely corner the market on parts?

That is why I always use VPN when on public networks

What is the point of being hired as an IT professional and having to explain yourself for something so trivial?

Micorsoft and Apple are known competitors.It should be common sense that their software doesn't work well with each other.

It should be "All your minions are belong to us"

This is how I do it.

I am having trouble uploading that image for some reason on ML. If someone could upload it for me, that would be great.

Give the guy a break. I bet he is 13 or 14 years old. He is not doing anything malicious at this point.

That doesn't excuse or legitimize the behavior. A scumbag is a scumbag.

You can't expect someone that young to understand proper etiquette. At least he is trying to do something for himself and he isn't on xbox live calling everyone fags like most kids his age....

I'd like to see a tutorial on securing new CENTOS and Ubuntu servers out of the box. Is that something you could do @scottalanmiller ?

1Password not in your list!

https://1password.com/families/ A new option from 1Password; $5per month for a family of 5

I haven't heard of that one yet. I might try it and write an article since it's ony $5. I would like to get my gf on it.

Owncloud 9 is very flaky.... I've given up on it at this point. I would like to see a few more updates before it's really ready for production.

I didn't go too far in depth with Dashlane since my blog was geared towards users, but here is a good overview of why I like Dashlane.

I've updated desktop icons to change the Target URL many different times and it has worked great. Is it possible to rename them? It looks like the GPP uses the Name as a reference when updating.

I am working on a website for a fishing captain. Let me know what you think. (excuse my weird domain name)

@IRJ said in Upgrading to Windows 10 remotely:

I need to upgrade a Windows 7 PC to Windows 10 today. I would prefer to do everything remotely rather than going on site. Is there a way to automate everything? I have only done one previous Win10 upgrade.

I upgraded an entire office of 11 computers remotely. You can certainly do it.

My process:

1. Make sure mahcines are up to date with Windows Updates
2. Setup ScreenConnect access session
3. Disable permission request for the access session groups
4. Download the current upgrade version from the Media Creation tool to an ISO file
5. Save ISO on a network share
6. Backup users with Veeam Endpoint Backup to a NAS just in case
7. Open ISO over the network share (or copy local both work, your choice)
8. Run setup.exe
9. follow the prompts, tell it not to check for updates, keep all files
10. It will eventually go offline in ScreenConnect but once it finishes and comes back to the point where you can choose express settings, ScreenConnect will come online.
11. Complete upgrade
12. Profit

I shouldn't have any issues using VNC (It is on our network) then.

If the NC service properly loads, then yes, you should not have any problems.

I first tested this while I had physical access just in case...

Worst case scenario I can walk next door.

maybe I can get one of them fancy vendor tags
