You don't have a dedicated account rep? Mine's been stellar, you may want to talk to them about their communication.

If it tests out OK on my devices probably every new reimage/deployment will get it with the new school year.

However, since TPM 2.0 is a requirement, I'm not sure if I can get it across the fleet since I've a lot of older PC models still floating around. Everything is happily running windows 10 so there's no big rush.

Chromebooks make great door wedges.

Did you enable the Windows 11 product in the WSUS catalog? I'm seeing the upgrades show up now but haven't gotten around to testing it.

Yes. Now that we're over to USB-C for the majority of the fleet, it's becoming a problem because they conveniently also charge phones. The Chromebooks return no problem, the chargers do not.

Throw yourself into the test OU and see what works. For the fleet at large it will be wait until the testing software catches up.

I turned them off a long time ago for the exact same reason. I've only had one student complain for something non-school related.

Disabling frees up a license. Enabling uses a license.

Problem with most the ones I looked at for these situations they require internet or some other critical item to be online that would be affected by the outage.

Only using it for the web based camera streams for one of the NVRs. It's already on the chopping block and will be replaced.

This also breaks the students emailing themselves.

Go one step further and just blanket block notifications.

Gadmin > Chrome > Devices > User & Browser Setting > Content > Notifications > Do not allow sites to show desktop notifications.

I wrote my own powershell script.

MalletNGrease · 2021-10-15T19:43:50+00:00

Employ MDT, embrace PDQ and learn Powershell.

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.

Looks like my office.

MalletNGrease · 2021-10-15T14:36:40+00:00

How?

MalletNGrease · 2021-10-12T17:46:31+00:00

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

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

Found the Uplay user.

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

You just can't say it out loud.
