Modern users are a challenge for any organization. With different devise and usage pattern than many organization are prepared for, we are risking the security of our content and stability of our systems.  So, the need for a mobile/modern device management tool (MDM) that can help use remain secure and stable are for many a top priority. The Microsoft EM+s suit contains all the tools that you need in a modern MDM solution.

Just installed the Microsoft KB3194496 update for Windows 10 Anniversary update and have successfully rebooted. I had the problem a lot of people have had lately with the update installing and rolling back after installation.  

One of the many nice feature that the "Anniversary update" gave us are "Quick Assist". If you are used to try to help people over the phone, you know the frustration when the user simply do not understand your direction or are able to explain whats on the screen.

" The Bluescreen Brothers " are now online And to celebrate this we have just published a video on Channel9

The tools will of course continue to work after this date, but you will not get any updates or support from Microsoft after April 13, 2017.

My “Geeks that Care” project are now soon coming to an end. I will give a huge thanks to everybody that have donated and supported this project during the last few months.

The main winner is the children that “Redd Barna” helps with the money collected. And hopefully everybody donating have the winning feeling just by helping. The winner of the price donated by Lumagate has been drawn and contacted. It was the giver who got the number 11, and the tickets numbers 63-67. With the winning number being 65.

To help accelerate the donation, we have gotten a grand price from Lumagate A Amazon Kindle Voyage

With all the disasters and misfortune around the world, it is important to show that we care and try to help in the ways we can. It might be a kind word to a suffering friend, helping an elderly with tasks easy for you but hard for them, or enable other to help.
