Pointers on installing SSD drive

Here are some pointers if you are replacing your mechanical hard drive with an SSD.

  • First update your BIOS.
  • Make sure that AHCI is enabled in the BIOS
  • Install a program that monitors the S.M.A.R.T. on the hard drive. This will tell you if there are any communication issues between the computer and the SSD. (a BIOS update solved a problem I encountered.)
  • Turn off defragmentation software. SSDs should not be defraged. It will decrease the life of the drive.

G Suite – How does new user login for the first time if 2-step verification is enforced on the whole domain

If you didn’t notice when you turned on 2-step verification for the whole domain, there is an option to set a time period, where the new user can sign in without 2-step verification. If 2-step verification is on, then the new user will not be able to sign in for the first time if you don’t set an enrollment period.

Go to the admin console, click Security / Basic Settings / then under “2-step verification” click “Go to advanced settings to enforce 2-step verification”. On the next page under Authentication, there is something called “new user enrollment period”
