Hello,

We prepare Win 10 machines that are used in server roles for specialized software that is delivered to customer premises. The machines are however connected to the internet which means it is affected by Microsoft update policies where you have very little granular control in comparison to Windows 7.

It is possible to defer updates for a while, but eventually you cannot escape the update process which means reboots at inconvenient times, and in certain cases the updates also break the specialised software which takes time fixing. This is quite an issue as the machines should be stable running their software, so what options do I have to remedy the problem?

The Win10 machines are located at customer premises but managed remotely by us through RMM, so far I have seen two options.

1. Somehow disable the automatic update process, I was told that you could disable update with gpedit update to
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update  ?

2. Use Win 10 Enterprise LTSC / IoT  for the machines instead, that should be more stable and less prone to updates.

Any suggestions on that or more ideas to get control about updates?

U-verse WIFI Extender on AT&T Internet 100 still intermittently drops U-verse, WIFI which is resolved  by rebooting everything. Bizarre, less than 2500 sq ft so the Att Smart Extender shouldn’t even be needed yet we installed it to test. Syncd ok and improved some. Have a second other extender; different mfg type. Any downside to using 2 to test?  All HW devices from ATT have been either replaced or upgraded. The intermittent dropping of signals at somewhat repeating times of night kind of nuts!

insights appreciated.

Does anyone know of a hotspot plan that you can buy per gb and not monthly. So I can buy 5gb and use it until it runs out even if it goes over a month?

Gurus ,

Good day to you all .

Can you help me what is the definition for IoT and Digital Transformation ?
Are they related ? Any reference sites as newbie

In referring to IoT, what is a backhaul network?

What are restful APIs?

We have a user with a HP Officejet 6830 that we are trying to setup with HP EConnected/EPrint (print over Internet).  Everything goes smoothly throughout the setup, however, upon adding the printer the dot is orange not green on the HP EConnected site.  However, in checking the printer locally he have a green check mark for EPrinting.

The user has a basic home network with a AT&T UVerse (not sure of the exact manufacturer).  Do you need to open up certain ports for EPrint to work on one of these routers?  (In the past wet set one up on a home network with a Negear router and it was plug and play--green dot next to printer not orange.

There's request to set up a dedicated Internet Wifi hotspot
that will be used to connect up IoT : one such item in mind
is power meter.

We are not a financial/banking/healthcare organization but
still need to adhere to government guideline on cybersecurity.

I can only think of the following if this is to be granted:

a) restrict it to IoTs only ie corporate laptops/PCs/user devices
    can't connect to it : so what kind of mechanisms out there
    can stop corporate PCs/laptops and user BYODs from
    connecting?

b) we'll make the SSID unscannable

c) as many IoTs have been known to be compromised, such
    as Mirai, botnets attacks, how shall we mitigate these as
    the IoT is exposed to risks from Internet.
 
d) any other mitigations?

Hello Experts,

I would like to start a consultancy providing Data Analytics for industries using technology's like Azure Data Factory, Azure Streaming Analytics, PowerBI, Azure IoT.

I would like to find similar like minded individuals.

I would be happy to inject financial investment if needed.

Can someone let me know where the places to go to meet with like minded people?

Thanks

Hi,

Can anyone recommend an alternative to Google Jamboard... not just an alternative to the software, but the full software and hardware package.

Thanks in advance for your help.
