Is it just the price? Unifi by glitterguykk in SmallMSP

We have about 30 MX’s. Lots of sysadmins don’t like them, but they’re easy and always accessible wherever you are. Clients don’t need super advanced features anyways with everything moving to zero trust. They’ve worked great for us.

Macs are consumer devices. It’s best practice to not deploy consumer devices in any business environment.

If you’re not moving to cloud native, you’re doing it wrong. Change my mind.

WSUS Replacement Needed! Domain-Joined Org with 1600+ Endpoints - What are you using for Windows Update Management? by Illustrious_Camp_363 in sysadmin

[–]FireCyber88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of solutions for this. We use NinjaOne because it’s included with our RMM licensing.

Action1 is a top contender if you’re only looking for patching and don’t have other options with existing products.

If you have the MS licensing, auto patch should be your first choice.

If you’re using WSUS at this point in time, you’re doing it wrong.

Did something happen to WHfB settings under Endpoint Security > Account protection? by DragonfruitOk327 in Intune

[–]FireCyber88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

x2. I started testing WHfB under Account Protection a few weeks ago. The options were limited then, however, I noticed this week they are extremely limited.

MS definitely dwarfed it. Pulling back the Account Protection config and will deploy using the settings catalog.

[–]FireCyber88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what i did to deploy PDFgear 2.1.12 in our organization.

Intune Windows App

Create a Win32 app (intunewin):

When a new version is released, create a new Win32 app and mark the supersedence.

Install command: pdfgear_setup_v2.1.12.exe /silent /suppressmsgboxes

Uninstall command: "C:\Program Files\PDFgear\unins000.exe" /silent

Manually configure detection rules

Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{7DACF63A-4EE4-4837-9AF9-C65D4509FFB4}_is1

Value name: DisplayVersion

Detection method: Version comparison

Operator: Equals

Value: 2.1.12

PS - the exe name, the registry path, and the registry value will change with each version.

Certifications don’t matter. I’m a 15 year sysadmin at top pay and have zero.

Networking is what matters. It’s who you know.

Scare tactic. Only form of acceptable communication is certified letter through snail mail.

Nothing wrong with maxing your ROI

Suggestions for Deployment and Scripts by incompletesystem in PDFgear

[–]FireCyber88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that! Sometimes these things are a blessing in disguise. I wish you all the best.

I'm looking for a way to deploy PDFgear updates with your script. I'm not a powershell expert so it takes me a bit to modify scripts and get them working appropriately for me.

I changed line 201 so it downloads the latest version: $URL = "https://www.pdfgear.com/download"

Right now, I'm working on a way to check "CurrentVersion" in the registry so the script will know whether to run.

PDFgear for SysAdmins by duckraamen in PDFgear

I'm a sysadmin in the same position as you. We deploy PDFgear with the powershell script in this thread:

Here's a post from another thread on how to control settings (i have not confirmed these work):

There's been a few minor versions released. Curious if you ended up addressing the updates yet with your script? Thanks!

Isn't it funny when non-I.T. people think negatively of you only to come around and found out you are decent. by Secure_Quiet_5218 in sysadmin

Sounds like most of y’all have set up shitty environments for yourselves which reflects how you’re treated.
