can't rush a good job.

happy new years eve.

@travisdh1 thanks. i'll check that out.

what's another reputable pwd manager??

@travisdh1 I recently looked at changing from LP, but I found they were priced similarly to everyone else.

I'll change my master & banking pwds, but don't think I'll worry about all my pwds.

We're the same almost, except our temps are degrees celcius (38=100).

back at it today. renaming a few domain controllers to fit in with naming standards.
got other hypervisors that need upgrading, not sure if i'll get around to them.

hypervisor rebuilt & vm's moved back over.
success=yes

about to commence the rebuild of a hypervisor.

@gjacobse said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

Way to quiet,.. I’m gonna go over and unplug something,…

hahaha, brilliant.

emails incoming now.

Thanks everyone for the input. I'll check it out when possible.

@gjacobse said in Corrupted file, unless ...:

User profile is likely damaged,… kill the profile or Nike the computer…

But that is a first read guess.

Either option is most likely a quicker fix than identifying & fixing the problem.

Thanks for the input.

still not getting emails from here.
just changed my email address, see how that goes?

Got this problem at work:

Got a laptop.

Windows 10 and Office 2016.

If I download an Office file, (mostly just used Excel and Powerpoint files so far), the files won't open in the application, a warning pops up saying the file is corupt.

I've done a 'Repair' on Office.

If I copy the downloaded file from the Downloads folder, to a usb stick and open it from the usb stick, the file will open without error.

If I copy the downloaded file from the Downloads folder, to the Desktop, and open it, I get the error.

If I copy the file from the Downloads folder, to the usb stick, don't open it on the usb stick, but copy it to the Desktop and open it from the Desktop, it opens.

But all that happens with files that have been emailed to this user as well.

I've checked System and Application event logs, nothing looks out of the ordinary.

In summing up, if the user receives an Office file via email or downloaded from the web, it generates a 'File is Corrupt' error message when opened. But once the file has been copied & pasted back, the file will open without error.

Thanks for any help.

@RojoLoco hahaha, brilliant.

went xmas shopping for my wife. mmmmmm. tricky.

just bought 3 x 32GB usb3 sticks at the post office. $AU25!

not a bad price me thinks.

@WrCombs Beautiful. How exciting. Hope all goes well.

Yep, I manage 4 schools using Jamf Education.

It's not bad, it's reasonably easy to work your way around, the support doco I find, is quite good. The tech forum is lively.

Take a look at Mosyle as well.

There's another called Miradore, which I used a few years ago, which I thought was well laid out and thought through.
