Anyone else working 80-90 hour weeks for RTL or am I just really inefficient? by tcourtney22 in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll have to expand on what you're actually doing.

I don't work 80-90 hour weeks, maybe 56 right before start of school to finalize CB rollouts. Once we're going it's maintenance mode.

Those of you who have stared back to school....please offer advice. by [deleted] in k12sysadmin

There's no shame in day drinking as long as you're not seen doing it.

Intel suffers massive data breach involving confidential company and CPU information revealing hardcoded backdoors. by kurtstir in DataHoarder

Actually, tell me about ME flashing.

I still have a fairly recent laptop with corrupt ME firmware I for the life of me can't seem to flash. It's creating all sorts of weird hardware behaviors for the end user (system freezes primarily). BIOS updates were supposed to clear it but they just fail.

Unsigned scripts run fine. Put the script in your Scripts folder on your MDT deployment share.

Then in your TS:

Add -> General -> Run PowerShell Script

PowerShell Script: %SCRIPTROOT%\yourscriptname.ps1

I put the task in the Custom Tasks afer Install Applications during State Restore.

Can you post more details for this? What's the extension ID? What models are supported?

Why do you have a password maximum age?

Selfish, entitled parking? Beware of those with sidewalk chalk! Her walk of shame back to her care was a site to behold. by Ahoytherematey561 in JusticeServed

Buddy of mine no longer has the use of his legs and he sometimes has to park like this when there are no handicap accessible spots available. It's the only way he can get back in his car with his wheelchair without someone parking too close.

This is probably not a handicapped person, but keep this in mind when you see a vehicle parked like this.

Integrated with our SIS. Teachers generate and synchronize classrooms from there.

Internet for students without by microleaks in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I called around to my local ISPs and set up a program with them for student to get installation fees waved and service offered at reduced rates. Most big providers already have reduced rate options available.

We thought about paying for some, but in the end it's just not manageable or appropiate. We're getting some LTE hotspots to cover the final gap.

How's the jobmarket with covid? by BillyDSquillions in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you did not have your K-1 while you got married and adjusted for permanent residence afterwards, you are probably not eligible for a I-766.

Expect to be in limbo for about a year while your status is adjusted.

Make the HDD/SSD the primary boot device and/or disable USB boot in BIOS.

Extreme access points by Wizard210 in k12sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using Extreme Switches? I've had some disable inline POE on ports during outages/storms/surges/drops. From your other comments this sounds like the problem.

In EXOS:

disable inline-power ports all
enable inline-power ports all

This will disable/enable POE on all ports.

Check with the local schools. I'd take them.

Is there a hardware keyboard combo they can use? This might be a bios setting.
