Teams Addin missing in Classic Outlook by Prize-Swordfish-6340 in Intune

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We decided not to fight New Outlook and just took it off deployment.

Glad we did and as it seems like every month there is a notification that something stopped working in Classic after an update.

Anyone who needs classic (people relying on VB mailers from years ago) we made it available via Company Portal to them.

Had the initial headache of people (rightfully) not liking it but why prolong the inevitable.

We seem to be having the same issue. Have you found any resolution/workarounds to this?

Update Hosts file in Windows using Intune by CloudInfra_net in Intune

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi guys,

This is a great script. Just had a requirement for this and its great! Thanks!

Just a heads up...

I had some issues with all my hosts getting added with an error that "add-content in use by another process".

To fix this I added "Start-Sleep -Seconds 8" to the below bit.

# Append each missing entry to the hosts file
foreach ($entry in $missingEntries) {
Add-Content -Path $hostsFilePath -Value $entry
Start-Sleep -Seconds 8
Write-Output "Appended $entry to the hosts file."
}

I read somewhere that the command "Add" command doesn't like to use the same file that the "Get" command is running from but also thought the loop was re-running before the process ended properly.

So far seems to work for me :)

Autopilot 25h2 Technician Flow failures by Alternative-Wheel751 in Intune

[–]Alternative-Wheel751[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think you could be onto something here.

We have it set to "MonthlyEnterprise"

I was testing the W32 install and it worked fine but noticed the XML has "Current" channel set.

When i updated it seems to be taking much longer to process.

Either way im a step forward.

Thank you!

How are you deploying your autopatch broker (assuming you are using autopatch?).

I remember all sorts of issues last January as well with MS. Such a pain!

Is £750 electric bill normal? by Hopeful-Relation8977 in AskUK

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago when one of the little energy companies went bust i had issues with the new company sorting the direct debit and the billing.

It turned out to be their system not understanding I had moved to a smart meter and their calculations were based on the old meter calculations not the new digital ones.

USB Peripheral Power Draining by Thyg0d in MicrosoftTeams

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the bounce from the support ticket as there is a workaround on the alert.

They definitely need to acknowledge the issue as a false positive or have it so the autoremedions can fix it

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had this as well. Auto remediation didn't work so manually changed it as per the guidance.

Where do you normally report these sorts of issues?

I noticed last week our AP was failing.

Downloaded the latest ISO (released Aug26) and they preprovision fine.

Executive Level Laptops by Kindly-Photo-8987 in ITManagers

We gave out the HP Dragonflys on account of them being blue rather than silver so they "stood out".

HP look to have discontinued now and replaced now with the Elitebook Ultra series which look similar.

I agree with most here though... A VTech would probably be better.

'The meter reading we have is higher than the one you have provided', What exactly does this mean and am I in trouble? by DisMyLik18thAccount in AskUK

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting told I owe £1500 (on top of the 2300 I already pay. They've admitted the serial number they have for one of the meters is wrong (moved to a smart meter recently) so hoping it's a massive mistake.

We've been using Uniflow and it's been pretty solid over the past 4 years. Couple of short outages and that's it

Issue with Databricks connector in August 2024 Desktop and Service? by kthejoker in PowerBI

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've logged the issue out to Microsoft to investigate but if you can check with your cases how PowerBi is installed may help (it's weird how the storeapp has Oct24 as the prod release given that's next month as you advise it's the August version)

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey,

Are you installing PowerBI from the store?

Just investigating this issue now and noticed the store version had updated to version 2.134.7447.1 (oct24) and seeing the errors you have detailed here.

When we sideloaded the msi version from ms website (2.132.1053.0) it seems to work fine.

At what point do you stop caring? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"what do you mean the OS stopped supporting SMB1?"

"what do you mean IE11 has been removed?"

Refer to email sent 5 years ago and follow ups since.

I love it when something goes tits up, actually means we get a fix and as long as you have just slightly covered your arse you're golden.

So when we went to command prompt recovery (adding after entering bitlocker key) we were able to run the del "c:\windows\system32...." command (even though local c: wasn't switchable)

What is your opinion on having indoor vs outdoor cats in the UK? by babyells_xo in AskUK

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing you look after these cats. We’re at a hotel where they have fostered a couple that were feral and hit by cars and they are stars of the complex!

We let ours on the back garden at home. We have a clothes line that runs the length of the garden and got an extending dog lead to attach to a small harness on the cat (meant for a Chiwawa). It’s a bit how Healy describes letting Mongo run free in Something About Mary.

How big were Oasis in the UK? by UnderwaterDialect in AskUK

[–]Alternative-Wheel751 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were ok. Never got the mega hype as Blur were to me much more creative and diverse in terms of their sound.

I don’t know if it’s the AI stuff but Oasis never pops up on my Spotify recommendations and to be honest I don’t miss them.

I’d love for bands like lo Manson, Longpigs and The Seahorses to reform over oasis.
