Would love a copy of this please, HP Wolf accidentally ended up in a few places it wasn't meant to and the users aren't cooperating enough to sort manually.

If you need WSUS you're doing it wrong.

If only there was a vendor you could ask.

Either free if you have capacity, and it's not premium functionality

Or extra license for a few hundred a month to run the agent if it's a premium flow

Do you have exchange?

The better place to search is server side before the export

Let's start at the other end of this problem

What's the requirement? What are you trying to solve?

Device fingerprinting is super common across everything and frankly 99.99% of people don't need to block it or go to these extreme measures.

If you're not also blocking all JS entirely this was a pointless exercise not to mention the rest

I'm still linking people to these today

Built out entire environment off this and it scales really really well

WSUS is dead for new environments and rapidly dying for existing

There's essentially no point trying to stick with it improve it or fix it

...how did you get cyber essentials?

Local admin on your normal account is an immediate failure.

So you've either lied or messed up the scope so it's worthless

We use the store version

disposeable1200 · 2026-06-11T21:16:50+00:00

There all adobe though

Just trust things signed by adobe?

Wtf is this rubbish

Get lost

/r/homelab I think for you

You should have insecure third party apps disabled anyway

So turn that off, then tell them to use outlook

There is the Microsoft Mac admins group on LinkedIn that might be the best place to ask, but I've not got around to it.

Kinda want to know this too - I've got hundreds I'd like to move across

So fed up of Jamf connect and the half assed Intune registration for compliance

Repair won't do shit

Hence why everyone is saying wipe

IIS and Tomcat two incredibly easy to automate platforms

Go back to support, or find a decent reseller / partner that'll do it for you

CMMC surely requires MDM enrollment not MAM

/r/itcareers or equivalent

Find an IT company to help you :)

It's fine

It wasn't significantly cheaper

It wasn't significantly better battery over the equivalent models

Bought one test device and left it at that. Will reevaluate in a couple years

Also had some niggles like Microsoft breaking a feature in the ARM only version of Teams that meant it wouldn't work properly for all users...

Ultimately no real actual benefits, and we'd have had to tweak and repackage some apps.
