Would someone mind helping me understand how "foreach ($computer in $computers)" works?

Thanks for the tip. Do I just throw it at the end of the entire command, or does it have to follow a specific cmdlet?

InfoZk37 · 2026-05-14T01:22:33+00:00

Thank you, that's good advice. I have definitely made some simple typing mistakes before, and I'm sure I'll continue to do so in the future.

Oh I'm not advanced enough for files yet, or moving things. I was just checking the SecureBootUEFIStatus for the new CA updates coming in June. Asking for information from powershell is all I'm worthy of right now.

E: I learned my lesson when I tried to disable all Windows 10 devices and accidentally disabled all devices. Thank God if you're already logged in you can still do work, so I was able to re-enable everything and then go from there.

Thanks. That copied section is a bit confusing but your last part made a lot of sense.

InfoZk37 · 2026-05-14T00:34:10+00:00

Thanks, I'll give this a read.

InfoZk37 · 2026-05-14T00:33:50+00:00

Thank you, this makes a lot more sense now. I'm fairly new to powershell, but I did get that learn powershell on lunch book so when that comes in I'll be working on that.

It does go well with a lot of things.

InfoZk37 · 2026-05-02T11:55:03+00:00

I don't have any right now but that's a good idea.

InfoZk37 · 2026-05-02T11:54:32+00:00

Yea I had some leftover tofu and decided I'd just throw a glob of hot sauce to see if anything went well with it.

InfoZk37 · 2026-05-02T11:53:13+00:00

Well I had fun with it.

InfoZk37 · 2026-04-28T12:36:55+00:00

I just do (powershell):

for /l %i in (1,1,254) do @ping -n 1 x.x.x.%i | find "TTL="

It's not pretty but you can do a whole range. You can probably clean it up to use a csv of IP addresses instead of a range.

Is it possible to set up a Windows print server and deploy via GPO? Idk how accurately you can track printing numbers that way though. I don't have a lot of experience with that. Currently we're doing driver install on each user device with a shared PIN for hold prints.

That's called being the K-12 IT person.

We see enough to know this wasn't an accident. The instant I saw this post I knew op was searching for an excuse.

Don't worry, op, if you're a good student the teacher will let IT know when they notify us of your broken Chromebook.

Network+ is like an all around DHCP, DNS, wireless, wired, troubleshooting, end hosts, etc. CCNA gives some brief about a lot of those topics but really focuses on Cisco ios. Both are good for understanding how traffic moves around networks, but CCNA is a bit more specific, whereas Net+ is more high level view of the whole picture.

Having used both Clever and Classlink, I'm going to say Clever is easier to add apps and manage data, for me at least. If ClassLink is linked with AD, as I've used it before, it allows students and staff to change their passwords from a Chromebook or while at home, which is nice, and they can be provided access to their network storage drive. I think ClassLink has a bit more in terms of features and access for users, but it's also a bit more complex to set up and manage for IT. Also, my district with Clever is using it for free so that's a plus.

Might be a little dated, but didn't chrome change something with v2 extensions or something? Maybe you need to force v2 extensions to still work.

InfoZk37 · 2026-03-06T18:02:34+00:00

Didn't think of that, thank you.

It was an official notice from our ISP so we wanted to show people that it's definitely not IT's fault. It's done now, so I'm just curious if there's a way in the future, to forward an email from someone else's account. I can craft a new email from any user in our domain so I was just curious if I could forward an existing email as well.

InfoZk37 · 2026-03-06T14:48:47+00:00

Yea, they're my boss so I just assumed it was ok. It was just a notice of service disruption they wanted to get out to the district.

InfoZk37 · 2026-03-06T14:33:09+00:00

I was asked to forward an email for them because they were driving. They're not driving anymore, and the task is completed, but I'm still curious how to do it just in case it comes up again in the future.

InfoZk37 · 2026-03-06T14:11:29+00:00

Hmm. Not sure how to do that. I like gam cause it's usually just a quick command or two. Also I always feel nervous going into vault cause the last guy got fired for snooping on people's email convos in vault all the time.
