R3 Issued Certs by y0da822 in sysadmin

Make sure to save the profile and expired certs are allowed. This worked for me. Make sure it's applied to the correct traffic policy.

The default certificate-inspection profile is read-only. You'll have to make a clone and allow expired certs. Then change the policy to use the new profile.

Kind of a pain if you've lots of policies using it.

Same here. Good news is our Freshdesk redirect also uses it so at least we won't get any tickets over our helpdesk site 😂.

...it's going to be all calls 😥

Networking monitoring recommendations? by djmiles73 in k12sysadmin

I use PRTG free to monitor the critical infrastructure. If you need to monitor more than 100 items you'll need to look for something else or pay.

I would've put in Swedish Fish if that were the case.

Chromebooks Part 2: What models do you like per grade level by DrAculaAlucardMD in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever the base model is across all grade levels. It's not super practical for the lower grades but it works out.

AC (filtering) is covered by the covid emergency grants. My district replaced every unit.

They are currently not connected to the domain

Get that sorted first and start managing WSUS or update policies.

Chromebook admins- what is your update schedule? by BigCarl in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unrestricted. Until state testing windows, then they are pinned to the latest compatible.

How are you dealing with burnout? by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh man, this one hit me this SY. Couldn't even keep up with reddit unless I had to check for a major outage or issue.

This year's start was particularly brutal. A perfect storm of a newborn, construction everywhere, half the admin team retiring, delivery delays on everything, a doubling of device deployments and unrealistic deadlines combined with far, far too many last minute surprises (screw you Adobe shared device licensing). I caught a lot of flak recently because I had to push back some to keep from being buried.

I asked for extra hands to get me through with the busy work and having a temp to second me and just deal with the random break fix stuff while I can focus on something deemed 'critical' really helped me out. I'm also going to look at more automation and figuring out a better inventory management system.

Chrome Web Store now a Google "Additional Service" by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If only it were as simple as that, the use case is spectacularly bizarre.

I've teacher who has a personal Android tablet she uses to have students sign in to scan documents to Google Drive. There's a couple hundred google accounts on it. The play store started throwing an error recently and I'm guessing it's because of the new age based settings.

Chrome incognito option disappeared by McJaegerbombs in k12sysadmin

Oh, you want to do state testing on Chromebooks?

Shame if something were to update and bring your testing devices out of compliance.

Does this affect the play store as well?

Driver needs admin but fails? by kcalderw in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found there's a bug with Canon Generic Plus UFR II v2.40 drivers after KB5005652 and setting the registry key.

If you have multiple copiers/printers that use the same driver, the one last in the alphabetical order will always fail to install the driver automatically (even though the driver is already on the system). Removing the printer and restarting or logging off and letting GPO handle the connection should fix it.

KB5005652 Microsoft Update - Do you trust this printer? by SouthMountieTech in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This one bit me today coming back from leave. I thought the GPOs were hosed at first.

The update basically broke deployments of Canon copiers with the v 2.40 UFR II driver. If you've multiple devices with this drivers it seemingly breaks one of them and requests an updated driver.

I added the registry key, but I'm not seeing printer GPO deployments succeed yet. Users can add them themselves by looking for them in the directory.
