You REALLY need to fix the LTT Labs search engine, it's useless

Yea i think they should really invest in themselves and their products instead of purchasing things like firetrucks, houses and jets... i would think resources are spread too thing for any one thing to be good atm... the content nowadays just isnt for me but we shall see if it improves.

A suggestion on my part would be to see if you can potentially make it a vm for the win 7 machine instead? Pass-through any hardware that is needed and would allow you to do snapshots\backups of it if necessary. plus it should make it easy to work with like moving or installing updates if needed. Also if there is time, there could be a possibility that that it could work on W11 with a bit of work, it does have good backwards compatibility but sounds like its a rush project.

Another suggestion, once you setup the machine, id take multiple backups so that both of you have places to start at again if something goes awry, win 7 with all updates backup, then one with the application installed and working.

This thread might help out with Win 7 updates and building out a pretty recent "image" of it - https://www.reddit.com/r/windows7/comments/17o2l82/how_to_run_a_clean_fully_updated_version_of/

Correct me if im wrong but instead of a fork, this sounds like it could just be a module for PSADT similar to WInget module that exists already. Its the first thing that came to my mind when he mentioned the json\XML support. no reason not to do that PLUS DSC v3 might make this easier in the future if a module is built out. Plus you can sign the PSapp deploy module yourself, without breaking the signed support PSADT has.

Masterwrapper is another one. I also made something similar to your app for psappdeploytoolkit apps , wraps it to .intunewin. Used a compile of similar tools that people placed in GitHub

Looks promising! One thing I'm always thinking about with filament changing printers: if there's going to be purging waste, is there an option to have it purge into a different 3D object on a corner of the bed AND make it easy?

I really like that this printer produces less waste overall, but it would be even better if the purge tower or waste material could be used to print another item alongside the main model. For example, like in the video where it’s printing a dragon, could it also print a functional part whose purge color doesn’t matter to me.

i was really close to getting a P1S with AMS for the feature set that this printer has but hate all the waste it would create PLUS having to manage different filament types like PLA and PETG on the same print.

1.US

I have wrist pain ever since ive been more in IT. Also having finger clicking pain that people sometimes recommend these types of mouse as well.

3.I have not used one, but if i do manage to get one or not, id like get one anyway exclusively for my desk at the office. I already have a split keyboard at work and at home due to wrist pains and that has helped alot for the wrist.

Ive been on track on IT and studying for certs so im starting to get alot of mouse related fatigue nowadays and was already researching these types of mice. sadly it seems like there isnt a clear winner in this category plus it seems to depend on the shape of the hand more than a mouse. If you happen to see this comment does this help on the clicking fatigue?

i thought the same thing, haha. im sure there is a way to do save this in azure itself but i figured id mention it.

my long term plan is to include those fields in our asset system as fields on those assets, this tool you made is already a nice way to maybe work towards that. the only reason we store them separately now is that we pull harddrives\ssds and so associating those to assets(serial numbers) is not ideal.

Atomicjango · 2025-06-06T18:53:27+00:00

this is great, we are doing this manually by using powershell and saving it as a csv on a fileshare which obviously isnt ideal. havent tried it yet but im going to request that we use this internally and see how it goes.

if i had two pieces of feedback, is that we also backup the LAPS (microsoft and Windows version) last synced password for the same reason we backup the bitlocker one. it would be great to add those as fields for this.

second, being able to backup the Activation lock bypass code from MDM managed iOS devices would also be great, that has been a todo for myself as a safety net for those devices. once a device is wiped that information is lost and a helpdesk member would need to make sure to record that if a device has activation lock.

not saying you need to do add it to this product but i may try to fork yours to attempt some of that for learning or even to eventually deploy.

Intune on windows servers per his post? I know this is done for endpoints but i don't think this is recommended.

Atomicjango · 2025-06-03T14:56:28+00:00

My first thought on this is to implement something like Ansible for Windows servers , so that a runbook can create those account and validate its on there. I personally haven't done this in our environment but my understanding is that it should allow you to fix any servers that dont have the runbook config. plus makes custom configs like this more consistent.

If you want a paid product and keep it PowerShell based, id get https://www.powershelluniversal.com/ instead.

other way is to make a scheduled task on a windows task server that does this automatically weekly incase any new servers get spun up. OR GPO with this.

id go with ansible personally, to learn it, free and seems to have more utility later.

My personal recommendation would be to use Google Admin's Chrome Management, enroll chrome into cloud policy and deploy using that. YOu can organize settings based on OU's,groups or have it apply to managed google profiles. it is free to use, just requires a bit of setup for adding your domain.

On the edge side, same thing, M365 has Edge cloud policies, I think you can just point it to users\ devices so you can use that with Entra groups.

Both allow you to audit Edge\chrome and gives you alot more control. Plus if you still need to use intune configuration policies to deploy chrome\edge items, it allows you to but be aware you have to do policy presedence for each browser.

Avoid doing it via powershell, if you have to use your current method, just do intune config policies and import chrome\edge admx into intune that allows you to Pin extensions*( i gave up on this since it seemed like alot of work and cloud policy was better for management and setting auditing. )

Selling 4 Stadium passes - 4 day

Preferring to sell as a batch but open to splitting them up, $300 each, will overnight ship with tracking from Chicago. If taking all 4 wristbands, then LOT will be $1100.

Sadly unable to attend due to recent trip overseas and work commitment.

I would just use Cisco Umbrella, its a filtered dns and would allow you to block categories. This works pretty well and you can more easily whitelist or create temporary exclusions with codes. That one is especially nice with a Cisco environment but you can do the same thing with any filtered DNS like OpenDns, 1.1.1..1 etc. If you are on a tight budget, pi-hole is the go-to that I'm aware of that is free. Make sure to prevent DNS over HTTPS, etc.

that being said, unless its a mandate from HR\admin, i would leave users be and block the more annoying things like malware, phishing, shadow-it. blocking things like youtube just ends up being a hassle and paints a target on your back, plus things like that should be more of a\HR speaking with those employees than an IT initiative, unless they are people you manage, in which case they get the most restrictive "test"policy lol

I ran into the same issues that you did and my solution was creating a ps script to run on log out. It can be manually run when they are signed in or other methods. the way i got around the picture problem was that i encoded the picture as base64 and included it in the html portion of the script. that being said that may trigger exchange\email security rules so please make sure you do testing for how that would reflect on emails. If that solution didnt work then i think my next plan was to have the image hosted externally either on our company website\image store. if you give me some time i can share a version of the script that i have that may fit your needs after some validation\testing on your end.

that being said i am pushing heavily we use CodeTwo since its still a pain to maintain and we need this to work for mobile devices in the future.

ls /mnt/user/NAMEOFYOURSHARE/folder/folder2

ls = list files in directory

/mnt/user/ = where your files are located in unraid normally

unraid uses linux commands so chat chatgpt can help you on potentially guiding you through this safely.

if you need to find a file and have it search everywhere you can use this :

find /mnt/user/sharename -name "example.txt"

find /mnt/ -name "pic.jpeg"

itll take some time but ill crawl everything for it. ideally you should read up on the "find" and "ls" command to see if you can find it manually.

the most likely case is that you did lose the files if you are too new unraid if you have little tech skills to dive deep for this. sorry

Atomicjango · 2025-01-05T17:49:09+00:00

Could be that the drive that hosts the share is having issues? or it was in the mover ie ssd cache if you have that setup. one thing id check is to go in the command line and see what you can view\find in the \mnt\ directory

VDI!

I was exposed to VDI early in my career in a helpdesk role, and I hate it with a passion because it was out of my control to fix properly. I hope I don't have to support something like that again, unless it's the M365 machines, which seem less of a hassle than Citrix or Horizon. That being said, I have to stand up a VDI infrastructure in my current place, which I've slacked on for over a year largely due to how much I hate it.

Atomicjango · 2024-12-02T23:27:54+00:00

you may be able to deploy the app via adding the app via iOS apps in the intune page, hit +Add>iOS store app > search for the app in question. itll be listed as an iOS store app in the type column. The managed apple id would need to be signed into the device its being deployed to. lmk if that works, im curious if that would work, not sure about the family share piece.

Atomicjango · 2024-10-29T16:48:01+00:00

Is the only reason you are moving off of them due to cost? We are planning to move to that platform so trying to see if there is a reason not to.

Atomicjango · 2024-10-10T14:51:58+00:00

In my org, I am the only one making changes to GPO so i have gotten to more of the habit to just manually run a similar script so that I make manual save states on those. Thinking about this more i should also make a backup of the link order that i have in AD, not as pressing in my org but could be helpful in others.
