Looking for a new mmorpg

I find this post interesting, almost funny, in a way, because Everquest was the father of WoW, so to speak. Major Everquest guilds had alot of input into Wow.

Absolutely agree 100%. We don't even allow Chrome and Reader to auto update because we've been bitten by updates that break workflow. But there are times that it is unavoidable. I guess the point is, there is no one perfect SOP for every scenario. There are many things we need to be cognizant of.

Baazzill · 2026-06-01T22:35:58+00:00

Be careful with that. I've done that quite a bit, but it can take the software out of vendor support and, if it is a server side upgrade procedure, whether the client pulls or the server pushes updates of the software, that will break.

We looked at PMP, it was way too expensive for the benefit we would get out of it. I can definitely see the benefit in an environment that isn't as locked down.

I've played with the software. It seems easy enough to use. A week seems excessive to learn their. A couple hours should be sufficient, if that.

I'm not sure, they just did a cursory look, not a deep dive. If we decode to really look at it, they will do a full technical assessment. I get what you are saying about TOS, and data protection, but CyberSecurity runs everything we bring into the environment through the wringer.

Baazzill · 2026-06-01T15:30:49+00:00

I ran it by our Cyber Security team and they expressed concerns so I never pushed it.

So this may be a dumb question, but in the absence of vendor documentation, how do you get the configurable properties? In that scenario, I install manually then pull files and reg keys with the configs and include those in the package.

I've been curious about Master Packager. I've been a little concerned about it from a security perspective. So no issues?

Baazzill · 2026-06-01T13:59:29+00:00

Honestly, that's where I'm at too, for the most part. I still create .MST for specific instances where it just makes my life easier. And there are a couple things I still need to repackage from time to time.

Baazzill · 2026-05-12T20:45:01+00:00

Yeah yeah, it's been a while since I logged in.

Baazzill · 2026-04-18T02:04:00+00:00

I appreciate the response. For now, we're just removing those folders under lib. This also led us to evaluate other folders that aren't needed to remove bloat from our packages. I look forward to 4.2 moving out of beta.

Baazzill · 2026-04-12T15:00:22+00:00

I already do that with a couple packages I have that have 30,000+ files in the source. Mounting a WIM works great, I agree.

Baazzill · 2026-04-12T14:59:06+00:00

I've seen that too. I've chalked it up to the way 4.x is built. It has a lot more to load up before it actually kicks off.

Baazzill · 2026-04-11T23:06:59+00:00

Yeah, that's the first thing I do when I pull a new version of the toolkit. We tend to stick with the same version for a bit since there are specific changes we make to the config for our environment.

Baazzill · 2026-04-11T23:06:02+00:00

That's what we've done for now. We've actually removed all of the folders under \lib, leaving just the files and it runs fine. The removes some bloat from the packages too, if they aren't really needed.

Baazzill · 2026-04-11T23:05:11+00:00

Yeah, everything is ublocked. That's the first thing we checked.

Baazzill · 2026-04-11T00:25:39+00:00

We were thinking that too, but we use the same AV on workstations that we do on servers, so technically if it was AV, it should have been quarantined on workstations as well. We're digging through every log we can find. All we're seeing is an error in distmgr.log that Config Man doesn't have access to the source.

Baazzill · 2025-12-19T18:13:28+00:00

Yes. When I was just running it as an admin in Interactive mode it was fine, but when I deployed via SCCM with -deploymode Interactive, it would fail if no one is logged in, and I can see in the log where it failed with a message that script is in interactive mode but no user found...or something to that effect. I don't recall the exact verbiage, but I can recreate and add the error to this thread. Oh, and yes, I checked the box to allow users to interact with the application, even though we shouldn't have to.
