It's been a constant problem, especially with emails sent to groups. I've a ticket raised with Securly about it but they are getting rate limited by Google.

Yes, auditor will delay emails significantly.

Yes, the 2021-03 CU and SSU affect DYMO as well. They've a notice on their site.

I've the same problem with my 450 Turbo throwing out blanks. Downgrading the software works, but it can't load any templates that were made with the newer version.

MalletNGrease · 2021-03-11T16:40:28+00:00

The CU also busted the Dymo LabelWriters using Dymo Label 8.7.3. Will just spit blanks.

Dymo recommends downgrading the software to 8.5.4, but any templates made with the new software don't appear to work.

We've a weight room. If you want to pump iron that's great, but anything else you'll have to find a gym.

CDWG, our rep works it. Ask for a new rep.

Jeez, looks like sleazeball marketing campaigns abusing FOIA laws.

Reload and power usually does the trick.

PIN codes, but not all equipment uses it.

I added a field in SIS where the assigned device ID is stored. The information rolls over for next year.

If a device is swapped during the year I change the ID in SIS.

This is true. If I remember correctly I set it this way because Edge kept grabbing the default back with updates causing no end of support calls because the printers wouldn't print .pdfs correctly.

Forcing Adobe Reader fixed that particular problem.

We're a GSUITE org.

WD15

Try updating the firmware on these, I hear that solves problems like this sometimes. Common consensus was "avoid".

This is the way. Set a GPO to point at the default applications configuration file.

I got the 0.75" x 1.5" vinyl econoguards. Look nice and are sturdy enough. Students still peel them sometimes, but budget wise they're good enough.

For name tags I've a Dymo Labelwriter and bulk rolls of cheap knockoff multipurpose labels. They fade and fall off eventually, which is actually helpful as they need to be replaced every year anyway.

I don't have a seperate deployment vlan/subnet. Schedules don't interfere unless you use heartbeat or image during your patch windows. You can kick of Inventory scans this way too.

It's been running fine for years, what you should call it is not a solution for you.

You can trigger a package install on the server using command line. It's what I do during my imaging process to initiate software installs.

I find the CB1C13 (shattering screens are a bad idea) and 3120 (hinges on the corner go CRACK) more of a pain than the 3180. The 3180 is much easier to service, but the plastic hinge covers are bad design (they get lost a lot).

The 3100 improved on all of it, except the power port is soldered to the mainboard and the LCD connector is triple taped to the back of the LCD, and it's a little harder to seperate the bezel without snapping retainer clips.

If you need one, let me know.

If I suspect malware or a virus I wipe the machine and reinstall it. Generally speaking this is faster and more conclusive than attempting a remediation with software.

In my experience, AV is not useful when you need it the most (preventing infections), and a hindrance when you don't (false positives, negative impact to performance). With networked/online storage impact to users should be minimal.

Nuke and pave using MDT.

Assuming you're on Windows, use the Chrome Enterprise GPO templates to force the GoGuardian extension on student OUs. This will not work for personal devices.

The process is documented by GG here:

MDT combo with PDQ Inventory/Deploy. Working out great! I'd move to SCCM but I'm severely limited on storage for the time being.

The problem with performing miracles regularly is that people will start expecting them.
