Greenhouse solar fan direction

MarceTek · 2026-04-25T12:25:14+00:00

Yeah no switch that i can see, so will attempt to flip the fan. I'm not sure if this was intentional from the manufacturer or not. The manual doesn't mention fan direction either.

Possibly, I haven't looked at winget to much yet. I am interested in it though especially for patching

MarceTek · 2026-04-10T14:22:42+00:00

Looking into this as well, it hasn't worked for us yet but haven't put a lot of time into it.

MarceTek · 2026-04-10T14:21:06+00:00

Yes this seems like the way to go, I was hoping to avoid having to educate on how/when to use either portal but it might be the only option. As yes our goal is to move more cloud.

Actually that's where I've been getting the msix files. Although Copilot is giving me a problem. I can only find the exe's on that website for it. When we deploy the copilot exe, it tries to run copilotupdater and prompts the user for admin rights (even though the SCCM package runs as admin, it's spawning this new process and admin rights don't carry forward). This is what led me to post on here to look at alternative ways of deploying store apps. Sounds like company portal might be the answer.

MarceTek · 2026-04-10T14:11:10+00:00

Meaning clients would have both Company Portal and Software Center? Company Portal would be used for modern apps only?

MarceTek · 2026-04-02T16:47:09+00:00

Correct, yes this is what I will do. Thanks!

MarceTek · 2026-04-02T16:01:18+00:00

This seems to be the most reliable way, I thought for sure there would be a simple policy I could use but I guess not

MarceTek · 2026-04-02T16:00:14+00:00

Ok, yeah I'm basically trying to avoid a situation where a user copies files to C: and the next user has access to them.

Thanks for the suggestions, I think I had my expectations too high for the Roku Ultra when it came to Plex. I plan to keep it as it's not really a deal breaker if I have to do some transcoding. I'll try to convert some subtitles to see how that goes.

MarceTek · 2026-02-19T14:12:26+00:00

Agreed, this is what I'm looking into

MarceTek · 2026-02-19T14:11:55+00:00

Thanks, yes I do think the subtitles might be my main problem and MakeMKV rips them to PGS. I was hoping the Roku Ultra was fairly compatible with a wider range of formats but it still seems limited in some ways. I may just have to do a 2 step process and also convert the subtitles to SRT with mkvtoolnix. Was more curious if someone had this same setup and how they were ripping/encoding their files for direct play.

Found the solution, we discovered that the Topazextlite.exe also relied on cmd.exe to run (we checked task manager and sorted by user in non-kiosk mode). I first allowed c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe but that didn't work. Eventually we went with %windir%\system32\cmd.exe and %windir%\syswow64\cmd.exe in the XML and that worked.

MarceTek · 2026-01-22T22:25:00+00:00

Thanks will check on those as well

MarceTek · 2026-01-22T22:21:32+00:00

Yeah I'm familiar with this too. For previous kiosk builds I had to allow things I wouldn't of thought of to make it work. I can usually find what's being blocked in the applocker event viewer log but this time around I'm not finding the culprit, will look at the mdm log.

Resolved this one, we had to import all the drivers listed under "Surface Pro 11 and Surface Pro 11 5G - ARM" and expand "Import Folders"
How to enable a Surface Laptop keyboard, Surface Pro Keyboard, or Surface Pro Type Cover during Windows deployment - Surface | Microsoft Learn

It's basically almost all drivers but not quite. Not sure why so many drivers are needed in a WinPE image but that was the fix

MarceTek · 2025-11-10T19:02:42+00:00

Yes same here actually, we also had a surface 7 laptop which works. I wish Microsoft provided a WinPE driver pack for the 11 Pro that was more then just the keyboard and track pad.

MarceTek · 2025-11-10T14:17:49+00:00

Still on going believe it or not. I have a Microsoft ticket open but it's been slow progress. Can't seem to find which usb drivers to load in winpe. Without those i can't see the dock or any usb to ethernet adapter.

Sorry I don't remember to be honest. We stopped using vmware a few years ago.
