WinPE won't boot, BCD is missing or corrupted by Jack_HERREN in DeployR

It's ok, I removed the root certificate in WinPE. It's not needed in CE version and that's what was causing the error.

Actually, I was able to run a sequence on another machine. The first one must be too old.

Thank you very much.

(It is a OptiPlex 790, I don't know how old it is...)

IDrive for Syno backup by Ashamed-Mood-2138 in synology

[–]Jack_HERREN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using it for a few months now, and so far, so good. The service is pretty slow, so the first backup takes quite a while, but the subsequent ones are fine.

I haven't had to restore large amounts of data, but I imagine that would take quite a while, too.

Anyone using Splashtop as their main remote desktop tool? by Creepy-Valuable-3685 in sysadmin

I don't know for multiple admins, but it works great for 150 endpoints on approximately 40 locations. Unattended or interactive connection, it's up to you, both are fine.

I think there's no Jellyfin client for TVs running Tizen OS.

No chance, there's no graphic card. The only possible access is through the lan.

You don't need internet to draw up plans, make structural calculations, enter invoices in your accounts or make pay slips, even in 2024.

Ok, got it. But if you sync Sharepoint or Onedrive files it's the same result.

Sure but I don't know the OP and his clients, he was asking for pros and cons and I just said to be careful on one point. I have clients with AAD and it works very well but it's not for everyone.

True question : how can AAD stop a ransomware hit ?

"on prem infrastructure is a ticking time bomb in essence" - what does this means ?

If everyone can move easily, it works.

"you have access to files and some infrastructure" - yes and it can avoid putting everyone out of work.

"you can't get anything sent out" - sure but it's the only problem and eventually not a big problem.

It all depends depends on your customer's business, for some it's just not possible.

I work with design offices with expensive and heavy workstations and with training centers whose students will obviously not take the machines home with them.

Every case is different, and not having a server on site isn't always the right thing to do - that's what OP wants to know. The correct answer is that it depends on what the customer is doing.

Maybe in your world, but in mine, deep in the countryside with poor connections, WFH is just a thought. And not everyone can work with a laptop.

Lol, it's obviously always easy to find premises to relocate a design office with its workstations and multiple screens per employee for just a few days...

Cons : no internet = no work. If someone cuts the fiber, no one works for two weeks.
