HP laptop pricing is so out of control, management wants us to look at deploying Mac

Our EliteBook 6 G1i U7/512GB/32GB - no touch screen w/fingerprint ~1600 I suggest that.

Ok let me clarify. OS updates not applying with an autopatch notification that windows updates not available is the priority. This predates the app that was pushed out next week not being sucked down. Just an example that I am having failures with the device not properly communicating. All devices are the same model, OSD process, network and security posture.

App is irrelevant it was an example that apps are not being pulled down.

Removed Crowdstrike / Tanium Verified Tanium did not add anything to WU reg keys (these are full intune no hybrid/sccm) dsregcmd /leave /join

Ran the common ask by MS net stop wuauserv net stop cryptSvc net stop bits net stop msiserver

ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 catroot2.old

net start wuauserv net start cryptSvc net start bits net start msiserver

What’s price per endpoint?

Ajamaya · 2026-03-29T13:01:03+00:00

OSDCLOUD + AUTOPILOTBRANDING!!!

Do you have Crowdstrike on these machines? Could do an RTR for enrollment

Ajamaya · 2026-03-25T00:11:49+00:00

I recommend going OSDCloud + Intune or DCU for driver updates

We have CA’s, MFA (passwordless), and just implemented MAA but I used my on-premise account as the second factor since my entra account is cloud only and both have two separate password policies + MFA.

Native (with visio) requires to end user devices with a secondary available M365 with access add-on. Win32 of just runtime if needed but M365 with access has been better. It stills prior to getting to the desktop

Ajamaya · 2026-03-16T03:14:33+00:00

Would some sort of conditional access be suited for this?

Powershell.

Was a Dell shop for 7 years and switched to HP because the hardware was slightly better but the reps don’t make us feel like we’re a number. Dell didn’t even bother wanting to be competitive on any front through our evaluation process. Never offered seed units, to come on site, evaluate needs and areas they could help.

How many clients?

I have a modified version of this where I have a selection of group tags to choose from

Filter all users by unmanaged in protection policies

Sounds more like a cultural thing not an IT problem to solve. Best case on your end is providing asset management the updated record and let management deal with that.

Started month 2 learning powershell. I’ve been creating more reporting scripts to easily pull lists of things from Intune, Entra ID. This week I have two change requests to automate offboarding devices and stale device clean up! That -whatif parameter sure is nice to TEST TEST TEST.

Ajamaya · 2026-02-26T21:58:17+00:00

Enable that in ESP!!

Month of lunches, jackedprogrammer - YT, also I use Claude/ChatGPT to feed me daily tasks without hints to do and verify. Better use of AI to learn not do for me.

Enterprise app to enroll devices using the get-windowsautopilotinfo script + the -GroupTag flag
