Windows 10: Welcome to TF Saturday Live - The Macrium Special

You don't need to have any Skype or similar applications installed. All will be automatically fetched for you when you go to the link that will be provided just before the event starts.

 

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that, Slice! Twenty lashes with a wet noodle for me.

 

Spank, spank, whip, spank...! *Roflmao2

 

Many thanks Slicendice *Thumbs

No, you do not need Skype. In fact, you could not even use Skype for these meetings. They are organized using Skype for Business on my (host's) end, but guests can join anonymously without any whatsoever account (email, Skype, TenForums etc.) or program by using a so called Skype for Business Web App.

This extract from first post:

Thank you. I will try to be here to catch the whole thing Saturday. *Smile

Only thing we guests have to worry about is to be there on time, so we have time to check that our audio is working (headset sound and mic) before the event. *Smile

 

A half hour early is always good, to get the bugs out on our ends*Wink

 

Yes.

Half an hour before each session I will post a link in this thread. it takes a minute for you geeks to join.

To be sure everyone knows how to do it, here once more complete instructions:

When the link has been posted, half an hour before start of each session, just click the link. You will be asked how would you like to join. Select Skype Meetings App (web):





Run the plugin installer:





Let the plugin install:





When plugin has been installed, join the meeting:





Select your preferred screenname (would be nice if TF members used their TF username!) and click join:





That's it. it takes you less than a minute to install plugin and join. Notice that screenshots are from Microsoft Edge, but the principle, how it works, is same whatever browser you are using.

Here's a screenshot I posted before our last TF Saturday Live Chat in March to show the user interface:

 

Out of interest does paid version work on server? I changed my 10 Pro to rdsh server edition (by putting in generic key which activates fine) and Macrium stopped working - "not available on server" it said. I have the free version of Macrium.

 

There is a server edition for servers. It back's up a lot of interesting server related stuff.

There is a comparison table HERE

Your link doesn't say what edition/version of Macrium works where though.

Macrium Free doesn't work on ServerRDSH (which you can upgrade to for free from Pro if you enter the generic -2YV66 key you find in the product.ini) . You'll be activated too even if you never had a license.

I was wondering if the paid version of Macrium worked - which is why I asked.

A reasonable question I think.

 

LOL, yes it is a reasonable question, and my answer was also reasonable.

Did you look at the whole page? Is Windows 10 Server Remote Desktop Session Host a Workstation or Server class OS? Since the name says Server, I assume it is a server.

...sooo...Where on the Macrium page I linked to does it say "Server class OS backup and restore" and to which edition(s) of Macrium Reflect does it apply?


Everything is there if you want to see it.

 

No. Was only asking if anyone knew.

I still don't know the answer.
