Stream Setup 1. Open box, keep charger, put asset tag on machine. 2. Setup with charger, go through windows 8 starting steps, DO NOT JOIN A NETWORK, joining a

network disables you from skipping logging in with a Microsoft account. 3. Make sure all drivers are working (shouldn't be an issue.) 4. Uninstall mcafee security suite 5. Join minuteman.lan domain and name machine appropriately 6. Restart 7. You will probably have to sign into the wireless network again. 8. After logging in as scan, search for network and sharing center. When it pops up and you are logged

into minuteman-wifi, hit that connection in the network sharing center. A. After wi-fi status pops up, hit "wireless properties" B. Next, go to the security tab and hit "advanced settings" and under the 802.1X settings make sure the drop down list has "user or computer authentication." C. hit ok and backout, and under the security tab hit "settings" and then hit "configure" and check the box to use your windows login information to automatically log in to the wireless network. 8. Make sure the power options are set so that the machine doesn't shut off automatically when plugged in. Also make sure to go under advanced power settings and ensure that closing the laptop lid does not shut the machine off while it plugged in. 9. Next, go to the PXE server and deploy the "HP Stream uninstall junk." 10. Install the stream nested install, and OneNote 11. Restart 12. Push sophos cloud 13. Run windows updates until all updates are installed 14. After all updates are installed, open command prompt as administrator and run the

command " Dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup " This will take a while, as it is running through the list of installed updates and deleting the downloaded updates files, leaving them installed but not wasting space on the machine.

NOTE: After running the DISM command and restarting the machine, it must be left on for 3-7 hours before the ITAMD (schooldude) client will report the machine and manage it, so the machines must be left alone and on for that amount of time after you are done with everything.

Old Macs USB Bootcamp

In order to use a USB drive with boot camp on older machines, you must follow

the steps listed here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5479879

Also had to create a MS partition and have boot camp delete it to enable the install option. Believe this tricked boot camp into thinking that installing through a USB drive was valid. Edit: worked only for one model, results are inconsistent.
