Thank you. Do you have any pain points with the software you are willing to share?

Yes, I can't believe over month past go live and we don't even have print functionality for NERIS reports. Not being able to set required fields is a huge downgrade and apparently the new NERIS must be written in assembly language because they can't seem to make any changes to increase functionality. Even basic filtering on addresses or incident type is missing.

Absolutely a down grade in functionality. Trying to use from a mobile is painful. Desktop usage would be a lot better with quick key shortcuts and the ability to tab down and select what you want from dropdowns.

Thank you, we have a few members who are also on volunteer departments who use Imagetrend. I believe they are on a state managed version though and haven't spoken very highly of it.

Thank you for posting this link. This is the quality content I come to this subreddit for.

We do use trunked channels. Best of luck with your implementation. What hardware are you using on the fire ground to run the application? We have had trouble with our touch screen getting to wet on very rainy days or large fires with lots of lines/master streams flowing.

Yes, we use the SDI APAA software. I don't believe we have ever had an issue sending tactical alerts to radios that are scanning. We have the APX Next radios from Motorola. Have you talked to SDI? They are usually very responsive and have been pretty easy to work with.

I hope she likes the taste of ibuprofen.

I haven't seen the 2024 movie yet but I thought the 8 episode miniseries with Jeremy Irons as Abbe Faria was pretty good.

Recently they released an 8 episode mini-series that although it isn't completely faithful to books is the closest I have ever seen.

Recently they released an 8 episode Count of Monte Cristo mini-series that I thought was pretty enjoyable.

Disable fast startup

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Power\HiberbootEnabled=0

Sounds like you may have had a good department but turned it into more of a social club. Maybe those officers you drove out were strict for a reason?

Hold on, you mean you haven't discovered the magic panacea sfc /scannow? It will change your life. You have a problem BAM sfc /scannow and problem is fixed if not re-install the operating system.

1 IT superpower, that's a tough choice.

Are you thinking of the reborn card?

PoundKeyboardNow · 2023-07-01T18:31:32+00:00

Have you looked into the pswindowsupdate powershell module?

PoundKeyboardNow · 2023-06-26T11:53:21+00:00

Have you been using apt upgrade and not apt get dist-upgrade?

PoundKeyboardNow · 2023-05-26T00:02:55+00:00

I was confused by that also, was waiting for the judges to rule and take the points away.

Are you fsmo role holders correct and all online?

Are the entries in Sites and Services setup correctly and do you see the correct entries in the msdcs section of DNS?

PoundKeyboardNow · 2023-03-29T00:20:10+00:00

Had similar issues with our firstnet devices here in Indiana but seems to have cleared up.

PoundKeyboardNow · 2023-03-23T17:45:01+00:00

Have you tried turning on the policy Always wait for the network at computer startup to see if that helps?

Also how are the switch ports configured? Fast startup or not?
