Teams woes on a new laptop install
by Andrew Hodgson 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hi. I'm a bit stuck at the moment with an issue on Teams. The company I work for has recently been taken over by a large corporate and this morning they wiped my laptop in the expectation I would reformat it with a clean install and provision it with their InTune. This seemed to go well at first, I installed Windows 11 23H2 from an ISO I downloaded, and the provisioning was successful. They are using the BeyondTrust Privilege Manager to stop people installing software and even though I have extra perms to install I am still prompted. Getting JFW 2024 installed was a bit of an issue. This also does some other lockdown of the system but unsure what and how it is locked down. The main issue though is that the InTune installed Teams on the device, and when I go into Teams I get absolutely no speech in any part of the app. I have tried several things to rectify this without issue. Its Teams Classic version 1.6.00.28554 that is installed. The version of Office they have installed is 16130.20810 which is from the 2302 semi-annual enterprise channel. Has anyone seen this issue where Teams is completely unusable with JFW? At this point I'm not sure if it's a problem with this BeyondTrust software or something in Teams, but its going to cause me a bit of a headache next week if I can't get this resolved quickly. Thanks. Andrew.

Installing Win10 Pro 22h2 as a Vmware Workstation Guest
by David Mehler 11 Jan '24

Hello, The subject says what I'm trying to do, I've got Vmware Workstation Pro version 16 going on my system. To that I'd like to add Win10 pro x64. I've got the vm created, and have created a win10 22h2 iso, fed that to the vm, and started it. I'm trying to get speech going and it's not working, not doing anything. Any ideas welcome. Thanks. Dave.
