Hi guys, I have a client which we manage their macs via MDM. I pushed down a VPN client update (PaloAlto Global Protect) verison 5.0.6 to 5.1.5 Tuesday evening. On Wednesday several Macs are not able to login after rebooting. When inputting the password it will look like its loading, go to a black screen and go back to the login screen. Below is the troubleshooting I have conducted. I have gone through and do know that not all macs are affected. Current Troubleshooting Mac: iMac 5k late 2015, macOS 10.12.6 Affected macOS's: 10.12.6, 10.15.6 Troubleshooting: -Removed the VPN client via MDM terminal -Reset NVRAM & SMC -Logged into single user mode, issue affects all accounts still -Disabled all launch services -Disabled FileVault There is quite a few more troubleshooting I did but cannot remember them all for now as I sadly couldn't document along the way. I've loo Any help on this would be great!

I work for an MSP. One of our clients has over 100 Macs and were needing to push down some AntiVirus (yes I know). The problem is that our RMM will not work to push down scripts due to having to manually install apps as this is part of the OS security. Is anyone aware of a way to change that and/or a software/RMM tool that will push down software installs via scripts to drastically cut down time?

Ok. Well I am just going for one GPU right now since I dont need 2 GPU's. The strix does look sweet BUT it does not have more display ports the G1 has since if I get 4K monitors I will be pulling through DP.

Ok so I bought a NZXT 850 WATT PSU for my build. It is x99 with a 5960x. Here is the pcparkpicker. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Yrn2f7 I was wondering if I should go ahead and get a bigger PSU or if this should bee good to go. I am of course going to be OCing it and the GPU.

I forgot in 10.6.x but if you go to System Preferences>Display there might be a check to switch between the on board GPU and dedicated.

Ok thanks! Glad to hear from someone that has it crossfired. And yes this is going to be my middle build before my awesome build hopefully later this year. It will deff have enough air flow or I can just pop in some more fans or get another case in the meantime. Thanks for the feedback!

Well it looks great overall! I might say if you want to save a little bit of money get Windows 8.1 Pro from G2A. I havent been on there in a while but it used to be like $25 US for the OS. Plus with Windows 8.1 overall its a lot faster and smoother than Windows IMO.

Yes yes. I deal with craigslist all the time. I know what im doing when it comes to that sort of things. Ok great! Ya I might just keep this as a mid range then get my personal custom built high end one later this year on cyber monday.

So I am looking at a rig that I want to possibly get. I know this is not the best of all builds but I was wondering how the performance would be for 2 R9-270x's in a rig. Here are the specs of the rig im looking at from someone: Intel Core i5-4670k 8 GB 1866 Mhz RAM Dual Sapphire Radeon R9-270x in Crossfire 240 GB Crucial SSD 1 TB Seagate 7200 RPM HDD Corsair 400R case The main thing im looking at is the GPU and if the 270's would be good enough to perform well on like Bf4 and such on close to high or max on 1080p. I had another rig with a GTX770 so I dont know if this would compare to a 770 or not (price to performance and such). Any input from peeps that have this GPU or know a bit more on the AMD side would be awesome! Thanks!

Umm yes its going to come down. Ill just wait a long while to they come down really far. I mean DDR3 right now is just fine for what I need and much more for gaming.

This might actually be true. Plus you know how those cafes have such good wifi protection. lol. Also the photos that were deleted but retrieved from iCloud is a bit interesting really. For that one celeb that said she deleted those photos it is really always in a backup. The photos from Photostream can be retrieved if someone were to delete them. The site support engineering group (SSE) within Apple can do it basically within a click of a button. Although most of the time Apple says that they cannot retrieve them after 24HRS, trust me I have seen almost a week go by and they were still able to get them back.

Because I can. lol. I go through a lot of trades and computer stuff so im pretty used to it. But I do need to get a rig and settle for it for a while though. Thanks for the parts suggestions! More than likely gaming on the 1080p monitor. I would only test to see how the 4k gaming would be or I could go with 2k on the 4k monitor, but mostly I would just use my 1080p monitor for the gaming side. I was thinking maybe the same one I had such as a GTX770? I think I might have to get one with a higher VRAM though.

So I have decided to do a new rig for myself. I sold my other rig and am kinda missing it a little. Soooo I am going to start getting things ready for a new build. I am very good and I know what I am doing but for this rig I thought I might ask some peeps on what they thought would be some cool parts to add. I will probably have a budget of around $1200. I like to keep most of my rigs mostly Intel/Nvidia CPU/GPU combo. Now this is a much lower budget from my last rig, seeing that I had a i7 4770k and a ASUS ROG mobo and a GTX 770 it was like $1800 on cyber monday last year. So with all that said send me some suggestions on parts or a whole rig that would be good for this budget, or should I wait and save up and then buy on black friday/cyber monday since its not to far away? I really dont care waiting either. You dont have to add a monitor I already have a 1080p and a 4K 60Hz monitor that I will be using. Thanks!

I fixed it! I just had to update the drivers for the GPU. Was still on 320 and I updated to 340!

Ok so I wasnt to sure as far as to which forum to put this on so I will start here. Me and my friend are testing this card with my Dell UP2414Q 4K monitor. When we have it connected via mini display on the one 4k monitor it is as though it has 2 1080p screens on it. Is there a way to fix it so that it will only show one monitor and then change the DPI scaling for it so that it dosent look so tiny? lol. Im a bit new when it comes to 4k and making it work. Windows 7 Pro GTX 660

So I come here wanting some cool info and the first thing I see staring at me is some mans butt........So what was this thread about again?

I feel as thought planes crash not all the time but do crash but the media is paying more attention to them this time for some reason. Also the planes that have gone down some of them have been flying over "war" zones. I guess the best thing to do is not fly over zones that are going a bit cray cray right now?

Ummmmmm.......Welcome? haha. For real welcome! Even though that was totally creepy.

Ummmm eww. I guess thanks for sharing? You should prolly stop gaming so much man for long sessions. I used to a little bit but never got anything like this soooo I guess I didnt play long enough. lol

Umm I say get a new CPU then a tablet. Since you want a tablet I would say it depends on what you want. Since it seems like you have a computer that can play games I would say the iPad mini retina. The only reason I wouldnt do the Shield is if I had one I think it would be to much gaming for me between my computer and the Shield.

Thankfully NO. looking to buy one, going to see if the peep can come down on the price so that then I could afford one. I mean 128GB really? I already have 60GB worth of music. haha

Uggh ya thats what I have been finding out.

I was trying to look around to see if there was any less expensive SSD's for a MBPr 13". I looked at OWC and they are pretty expensive and I have checked out Ebay as well. Does anyone know of other places that might have those types of SSD's for a good price?

Ohhh myan! It loooks soooo good!

Yes! I bought my Windows 8.1Pro key from them and it worked just fine. The only thing that was weird is when I had to remote desktop with them, didnt like that but that was to make sure the key I go was legit and worked and if not they will refund you or give you a new key. So yes overall it was a awesome experience!
