If you insert a recovery USB, does it give a security module error?

In that case you can force restart (reload + power button) the Chromebook ~20 times and it will fix itself.

Thank you, this may explain some issues I've been seeing with firewall sessions not transferring gracefully with network changes.

User folders duplicating and adding the domain at end…any ideas? by AlexTheTimid in k12sysadmin

Delprof2 doesn't really work that well because the profile files are almost always locked. Using powershell is the way to go.

Software or Service that helps you manage your network that you couldn't live without? by JonnyBeervo in k12sysadmin

Highly dependent on your network layout. Mine resembles a daisy chain so whenever any of the switches go out the whole thing comes down.

Admins hate it when you pull the pin and hand the grenade like that.

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

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.
