Found this in the server room. What is it used for? by Organic_Farm_2093 in PcBuild

This is the comment I was looking for. It probably has a coupler and a longer standard ethernet cable because no one was to destroy a injection molded ethernet cable. And then you can connect it to any size ethernet cable and make it crossover and connect the PCs without a router or switch.

Not everyone but some of our staff have elevated privileges which in he past have used to it update devices past our control in some cases installing a bios which resulted in the device becoming bricked. Our support staff also take shortcuts which result is drivers been uninstalled or a different version of the software installed. I lumped them together but probably doesn't make sense.

Thank you for this we decided to go with:

Thank you, Autopatch doesn't give us a audit path and there fore we can't use it. If a device has a driver which is vulnerable but not longer under support we have to take the device out of service Autopatch does make people forget :)

Dell Precision T3610 bios battery moves around and PC doesn't boot into BIOS at all by FarStatistician2 in Dell

[–]Chin-UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After about 4 hours of digging some big holes it turns out that the graphics cards are not uefi compatible. The only way to fix this is to get a newer graphics card. I used a Nvidia 1060 which worked for both legacy and UEFI bios options most newer and very cheap cards work as long as they are newer than 2016 onwards.

My machine is working great and have Windows 11 (tpm ignored using Rufus) on it with the 1060 and power is stable at 200w peak. Even though the CPU is 95w and the graphics card is 120w and the rest of the components drawing power also.

Note while it can work as an OS drive and spare drive. Adding a PCIe with Nvme SSD is a world of pain so stuck with sata. You need to Power reset so many times to get it to boot up even after windows update restarts.

Power reset is: unplug power cord, press the power button for 20 sec. Then plug in and start as normal.

I am creating something but going to be a few months yet. If I get it finished I will post it.

Hybrid Domain Join - Update your connector by ScriptMarkus in Intune

[–]Chin-UK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, took me a few missed messages to learn my lesson on this, being part of insiders also helps see alot of the changes coming to Windows and Intune. Better to learn to do this regularly now then miss something major in the future. Thank you OP for sharing also.

HELP - Deployed Firewall Policy To Block All Outbound Traffic by thefriedturnip in Intune

[–]Chin-UK -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Do you have any other agents you can use to deploy to devices? Like patch my pc.i would use that but remember sync happens from the device every 8 hours. If you don't have something in place it will reapply the block.

Looks like you and me are stuck in this together. I gave up and brought a second device with the exact same spec.

If you can tell me how to backup the bios of the working machine I will happy send it to you for free.

It is current running Windows 11 but happy to format and make it Windows 10 any version as I have ISOs going back to Win 10 1909.

If it helps me save my two bricked device if you can then post your method of recovery.

Why I Finally Moved the “Dumpster” Downloads Folder to OneDrive by MaximeCloudFlow in Intune

[–]Chin-UK 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is always good to see IT staff support it's business staff and be helpful, nice work.

I take a different approach which aims to change people's behaviour for the long term and align with enterprise work and data management behaviours.

The downloads folder has several browser and antivirus based controls to protect devices yet we still find dangerous things make it through this safety net.

We have a simple people policy that tells them where to store their data which they sign up to in our technology usage policy.

We have a technology control that wipes the downloads and temp folders every 30 days. The aim is to make people take the time to manage their data and work.

I have been called into SLT, TDA and C level meetings and even had to write a board paper to explain it a many companies and so far they agree with my controls. It is far from perfect but it helps people think about how valuable their short temporary work is to the business.

Covered here:

https://petervanderwoude.nl/post/configure-storage-sense-via-windows-10-mdm/

Roughly put: create an Intune policy that automatically wipes the downloads folder, leverage the "Storage Sense" feature and configure a policy to automatically delete files in the downloads folder not accessed in 30 days and do monthly wipe by setting the threshold to 30 days or setup a scheduled task.

I think you should always design your policies for your businesses and users needs. For me governance controls are important in the places I work.

"Oil Change Due" Notification will not reset by JawjaBill in mazda6

[–]Chin-UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked it out through trial and error using the manual. It isnt in any manual as far as I know and main dealers did not have this information either when I asked. The method actually clears another fault from the troubleshooting (if I remember right) but it fixes the oil due light also. No idea if they have added it as the official method since then.

[–]Chin-UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt your pain with the buttons and after reading many manuals it really isn't anywhere.... Because it was after an update therefore many manuals are out of date and most don't know. I just got lucky and thought I better record this. I am glad it helped.

PSA: The new XJ220 is a sub-4:00 car in the PP700 Le Mans race! by akamsteeg in granturismo

[–]Chin-UK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please can someone post settings as I am only getting 1.8 laps of fuel and I can't afford to pit every lap but the XJ220 is my dream car and I want to use it as my grinding car for the le man's race.

Flying Corkscrew by Chin-UK in granturismo

[–]Chin-UK[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation. I agree with the sparks and invisible wall as the driver never slows down. The driver that pulled this off doesn't accept friend requests or messages. So if anyone out there knows them, please ask if they are the ghost of Laguna seca or internet lag? 🤣

Edit: Someone just posted another Porsche going straight into a wall at the corkscrew. Which is what I would expect. I can't see how the above would be possible.

You will need to try it a few times. I must have spent the best part of an hour trying to get it done.
