@Brian-Fischer glad to here you are back up and running.

If you've submitted the request. It will be evaluated. We've not made any decision on SC-900.

@Brian-Fischer, I have not found a solution to your deployment issue, my apologies. Here is the troubleshooting documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/intune/welcome-intune. This is the documentation I use for my deployment issues.

@Charles-Prestwood, great idea and welcome! I will help add to this thread. When you have any questions or need help with your training, reach out to the Edutainers. Pleasure to have you with us.

@Victor-Rosa I appreciate the feedback and I completely agree with you! The foundational skills we teach like ports, protocols, network services...etc., are critical to implementing, working with and troubleshooting the technologies that learners will encounter later or may already be working with.

Hey @Jeff-Braasch , great question and I would like to add a few references for you.

Using Folder Redirection and Roaming Profiles

Folder Redirection

You can redirect user documents and files to a centralized location through Folder Redirection and as Doug mentioned this can be controlled through Group Policy. The GPO settings can be found here:
YourGPO\User Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Folder Redirection This will give you the ability to control what user folders are redirected to your storage server, such as the Documents folder but not the Music and Pictures folder. You can also implement Offline Files for bandwidth optimization and availability.

Roaming Profiles

You can then designate a Primary Computer for your users in Active Directory. This will allow you to control which workstations a user’s profile will “roam” to. When a Primary Computer is designated, this will be the only workstation that this user’s profile with be downloaded to. You can also create and deploy Mandatory Profiles, giving the administrator the ability to create a profile with predefined settings that are deployed to the workstation, with any changes by the user being discarded after logoff. This is done through an editing of the file extension on the NTuser.dat registry hive.

This is not an exhaustive list but may be of some use. I have included some reference links that may help

Haven't done any work in Entra yet...however, when I was the AD admin at my last job and I ran into this situation I would do the rename on my local AD server. I had other steps like move their files over from their old Work Folders profile to their new one after they logged in for the first time, but I don't know if you use that or not.

Hello!
According to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/deployment/usmt-return-codes, you have typed an invalid command by not using /lac. So check your syntax first and verify it matches. Correct and run it again. If it still doesn't try and add the /lac where it belongs.

@Matthew-Dudek permissions can get tricky, ensure that you are logged into the domain account and not the local administrator account. You can try logging into the domain controller as the default domain administrator and test permissions & privileges.

@Calvin-Lake,
David has as good of starting place as any. I would check your CMOS settings to verify it does recognize still recognize the correct time. Then check it about 2 or 3 hrs later and see if there has been a significant time shift. If there has or if the battery is older than 3 yrs old, it may be time to replace it. It reads like it's not keeping the settings for your PXE boot setting or even your SATA controller.

How could the lastLogon and lastLogonTimestamp be a week off?

I have user who has the following:
lastLogon: 9-21-23
lastLogonTimestamp: 9-15-23

Hey @Omar! Great question, we cover the objectives for MD-102 in a skills-based manner. This means that we cover the exam objectives and demonstrate the skills needed to implement the technologies. You can certainly watch MD-100 if you would like to strengthen your knowledge on the skills required to implement Windows in a more traditional on-premises environment. The MD-102 not only covers the objectives on the exam, but also the skills needed to implement the technologies, for a more modern endpoint administrative focus, in a more streamlined approached. If you need help with any of the topics, please reach out to me! Thank you for choosing ACI Learning!

We do not have any specific training on such a specific case. If you're running a Microsoft IIS server, then you may want to check out: https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/web-deploy

Thank you so much Brian! We had a blast on that one!

Hey @Rashard-Adams-0
I think a great start for getting into cybersecurity is the tried-and-true Security+
It has just about all the basics about cybersecurity and you get a nifty industry-standard certification to add to the old resume.

If you're looking to learn more about CVEs then, I would say to follow Wes' advice and check out mitre.

All the best,
Daniel

We do not plan to have anything on the 2012 Configuration Manager as we never had any demand for that product. Today, we probably wouldn't be focused on this product has reached Microsoft's end of support as of 12 July 2022.

I really don't know at this point...it would take some research.

I do not think it would be October as we've got through approximately half of the content...and it is priority. So even if we finished recording it this week. It must still go through post-production and QA and then posted on to the site...I do not have, at this point in time an approximation. I can say August but I cannot guarantee it...as I'm not sure what the backlog is for post-production is in terms of time.

Hey @ziv-baranes, great question. In my opinion, I would recommend AZ-104 as the next logical step and take it before AZ-500. The 104 exam focuses on administering to Azure technologies, the 500 series focuses on securing Azure technologies.

Hi Simon! We certainly did try and hit everything...with that said - pay attention to the ADDITIONAL RESOURCES sections of the Learner Notes for each episode. Here we link to critical documentation that Microsoft likes to generate their exams from! This can always be a big benefit before cert testing with Microsoft.

Thanks so much for the question and enjoy the course! We are standing by to help with anything that is not clear!
