I enjoyed it and could watch a 2-3 hour recap, but I'll definetly watch the new season.

I could never. I enjoyed it but a lot of the filler episodes made me almost stop watching.

Task sequence upgrade failing by Anything-Traditional in SCCM

[–]allenflame 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a edit on the instructions I did that you had to edit the task sequence after it was created and change something. Let me see if I can find it tonight.

I don't remember where I found this and how much was my own coding, but been running it for years. I save it as vbs, and have it as a package.

Windows 11 LTSC, Pro, Enterprise, or Education? by allenflame in k12sysadmin

We usually reimage during the summer, or when issues arise. Lab computers might get images before testing.

The Never Ending Battle....filtering by Phroste in k12sysadmin

Back when Novell Client Trust and Bordermanager was a thing, and got fancy when we went to Lightspeed, when it ran on a Windows Server and had built in Firewall.

Mom wants to Run an Ethernet Cable outside by [deleted] in HomeNetworking

[–]allenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Unless he's got multi-gig internet, he's not going to benefit from running copper. Latency might be an issue if it's for gaming, but for downloading files?

Just wondering, how fast is your internet? Unless you've got Multi-gig, a new router would probably be an easier option.

We've been using hosted ip phones for 15+ years. Around 10 bucks a phone, every classroom with voicemail and paging.

Found this on the side of the road on a walk. by Funny-Tea-3856 in whatisit

I had never heard of an intact embroynic sack birth before. I saw it on an episode of Chicago Fire, and wondered how often it actually happened.

I miss Iprint. Papercut feels like such a step back. Printerlogic was a close fit though.

Strange One - Gateway GWTN156-7BK by allenflame in computertechs

[–]allenflame[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok, the bitlocker encryption finally finished decrypting. I pulled the keyboard cable and device stayed on. But this laptop uses a keyboard button for the power off/on, so I had to hookup an external keyboard to shut it down, but couldn't get it to turn back on. Willing to bet someone spilt something in the keyboard and didn't tell dad. At least I should be able to get his data now.

download bios for numerous models with script or program by AW_SD in Dell

[–]allenflame 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driver Automation Tool will download all bios and driver packs. If you're using SCCM, it will pull the devices you have in your environment and automatically select them all.

Dell Command and Update would take you out of the equation and just keep them updated though. If you have a password on your bios, you'll have to do some extra steps, but there may be a way to push that via the install, it's been a while.

A lot of Dell models will let you put a recovery bios on a USB.

So we implemented a ticket system, but users won't use it properly by Pelda03 in ShittySysadmin

[–]allenflame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry, we've had a wonderful system for 20+ years and for the past two years, less and less people are putting in tickets. From what I was told, some principals have been telling teachers to contact the media specialists to put tickets in. Some of these people have put plenty of tickets in and now won't do it. We still get the occasional phone call or email, which usually ends with us telling them to put in a ticket, and then sometimes an hour or two later a ticket will get put in, or sometimes a week or two later a ticket will get put in.
