@s.hackleman Agreed, tried turtl earlier this week. I was overly excited to say the least.

Meh, not worried about it I always buy genuine. I've tried 3rd party in the past and they tend to give nothing but issues... Seems they have a much shorter lifespan as well.

@BBigford hallelujah, glad it's over...

And in other news, @zuphzuph brings the much maligned shortened link to Mangolassi.it!

Which link shortener is it that will show you the target when hovering your mouse over the link?

None, because that's not how the technology works

I thought one of them would, tho it probably requires some client side processing to work.

Absolutely requires client side processing. A link doesn't just magically make the browser do things.

Yeah, I think this is a result of SolidWorks having their cloud hosted solution now. We'll probably see a package installer for SolidWorks on AWS in the next couple of days.

This is interesting. We have an old workstation with SW2010 on it and were looking at upgrading to the latest version (subscription model :()

@stacksofplates was that an orgasm? I'm confused...

@BBigford Figured it's what you always wanted.

Loading a Surface Pro 4 with 10 Enterprise. xD

@JaredBusch Youtube Video

@thwr I remember the BF3 launch and BF4 launch. Never touching those games again. You can still get shot behind objects in that game the net code still remains broken in FrostBite...

@JaredBusch putting some fake wood vinyl in instead? xD

We have a 3 day weekend coming up, and I will be taking full advantage of it by catching up on sleep. And I might grill some sassages.

oh you sassy.

Awesome utility for reboot scheduling purposes. https://remoterebootx.com/

I'm frustrated and feel as though at this point he's taking credit for what I do while he sits back.

That's just management, man. You're gonna have to get used to that.

Hey now, not for too much longer. ;D

Alright guys, I spent about 6 hours this week trying to get my MDT/WDS combo server to load up our Surface 4's with a 1607 Windows 10 image. Reason being is because as many of you know the BIOS for the Surface 4 only allows UEFI booting... I crawled quite a few forums and found nothing that ultimately was able to help me so I figured I'd write it up for Mango.

I have both my DHCP servers configured with the following roles:
60 PXEClient | Value: PXEClient
066 Boot Server Host Name | Value: 10.1.1.10 (Yes, it's static)
067 Bootfile Name | Value: smsboot\x64\wdsmgfw.efi

Also, I did have to add an ip helper on my VLAN in order to get this to work the following command was ran via SSH:

ip helper-address 10.1.1.10 69

The command allows TFTP traffic to be allowed to/from 10.1.1.10. You also need to make sure the following ports are open on your server:

UDP:
67
68 (Only if DHCP authorization is required on the server)
69
4011
Random ports from 64001 through 65000*, to establish a session with the server for TFTP and multicasting
Random ports from 64001 through 65000*, to establish a session with the server for TFTP and multicasting

Also, make sure via WDS>DHCP that you have "Do not listen on DHCP ports" checked.

After this was done I continued to fiddle in frustration with DHCP roles for about 30 minutes until I got the config I stated above.

After you complete these steps WDS will fully support both UEFI booting and imaging.

If it makes you feel any better I'm trying to combine 19 PSTs into one archive mailbox for a user. Some are broken, some are password protected, and they're all "super important". FFS

Yeah... glad I'm not you rn.

You already knew that.

I can only down vote that once.

Got bum rushed this morning but knocked out onboarding for two users, Windows 10 Enterprise of course.
