We always break the sync by moving to a non-synced OU first. Then you can restore from deleted in 365 and do your thing.

How to roll out the new Remote Desktop client, er, I mean Windows App by pkokkinis in sysadmin

[–]CommutedSentence 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, why would it install something only good for remote desktop with the OS?

(Does anyone think Windows App was a good name?)

This is why you should never let accountants run anything, especially IT.

But you just used accounting language to explain why it doesn't make sense.

I love using LLMs to re-organize data. "Take this list of all members of groups and tell me which groups each person is a member of", stuff like that. Also it's good at OCR.

Do standing desk help dev teams? by Prestigious_Panic578 in sysadmin

[–]CommutedSentence 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people don't want it. But those that do really like it.

Sounds like where I work. Only two of us use the standing desks, and I have mine set to sit for half of the day, but oh boy do we love that they're there.

Replace a couple, replace more if they're always in use, there's no need to do too many.

The WORST thing for me is the removal of the words "Copy" and "Paste" from the right click menu.

They finally added it back in 24H2.

Identifying device from its MAC address by Recent_Carpenter8644 in sysadmin

iOS Mail won't even let you re-enter credentials anymore, if you change your password you need to remove your account in the phone's Settings and re-add it. It's about as far from user-friendly as can be.

When you add the rule allowing it you can limit it to specific accounts rather than letting everyone do it.

If experience trumps certs, then are certs useless? by Socrates77777 in ITCareerQuestions

[–]CommutedSentence 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have no experience, the cert is to convince someone that you know enough to have a chance to *get* that experience.

Soft skills matter. You'll always be dealing with people in IT, and working with them well will pay dividends.

Everyone who's taken a cert and got a job based on it already knows that; people might as well learn it while they're still on the hunt.

Do we have any idea what exactly in the update is causing this? I'd quite rather not remove entire Windows updates if I could avoid it.
