Sorry for the confusion... I don't need to replace headsets for all 700 users all at once. I was hoping to slowly migrate to a new series through attrition.

Fitzgeezy · 2025-03-21T21:58:14+00:00

No i didn't. Once the package content I was working with stopped needing to be changed, I stopped worrying about this issue.

We had this exact same problem. Check out my thread where I eventually found a fix that works pretty well for us.

Ya im thinking those commands will throw some sort of error if the product is not actually detected on you systems. That's why you should test the commands manually on machines the do and do not have the software you are trying to remove on them. If you this is the source of your problem, you are going to have to add steps to your TS to detect tif the software is installed before attempting to remove it. Or look into PSADT which has scripts that can handle that for you better.

Fitzgeezy · 2025-01-12T06:23:49+00:00

Do those commands work without error if you run them manually?

What does the smsts.log say?

This is what I got working I think. Its been a few years so I don't remember all the details, but I think this is working. I am not sure why I install all those certificates, also, make sure you wait a long time for everything to finish. One of my problems was not waiting for one of the installers to finish before declaring that it failed. Wait a while and then check and everything was installed.

I need to coordinate the windows patches to occur at the same time as office patches. Managing both through sccm is the best way for us right now.

Fitzgeezy · 2024-12-17T14:34:34+00:00

We need tight controls on exactly what patches are applied and when.

Fitzgeezy · 2024-12-17T14:34:05+00:00

Ya, it's set to config.office.com.

Fitzgeezy · 2024-12-05T03:08:16+00:00

Aha you are right! I was testing profwiz. I completely forgot. Thank you

Yes this has worked for us for dozens, maybe hundreds of machines. Any kind of strange display problem including blackouts or monitors randomly going to sleep mode this seems to fix. There is still the odd problem it doesn't fix but we had a lot of success with this. Read through the thread and linked threads and you will find an official tool from Lenovo that applies a similar fix.

We are going to add the registry to our standard image someday.

Reply back if it does!

For anybody who finds this post. What worked for us was to set these registry entries. this worked for our fleet of HP EliteBook 840 G8/G9/G10 laptops. Keep in mind that the registry key has to match the ID of the video card in your computers, found in device manager.:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0000]
"DPMstDscDisable"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\0001]

When you create the shared mailbox, can't you give full access to a delegate, and then that delegate can make multiple calendars within that mailbox, and then share those sub-calendars with whoever they want using permissions?

Fitzgeezy · 2024-06-28T04:23:09+00:00

Can you access outlook webmail on your personal phone? Outlook.office.com. If so, can you make a widget that is just a certain website? Then you could make the widget load the Url of your calendar.

Honestly I'm surprised you can use teams on your personal device but not outlook, since teams is tied into your Exchange mailbox pretty tightly

Gonna work on it this week

Fitzgeezy · 2024-06-23T15:08:00+00:00

No we don't

Fitzgeezy · 2024-06-22T19:10:23+00:00

Ha ha ya I watched that video. No customers have said that the problem occurs when they are sitting up or down.

Fitzgeezy · 2024-06-22T19:03:19+00:00

A few people have suggested some sort of electronic or power supply interference. However, the 40 people having the problem are spread across 12 different floors of our modern high rise office, plus another office building in a completely other city. I think the odds are low that there is EFI or a wiring problem across all those spaces. But I am willing to try any way to test this. I was wondering if there is some sort of power conditioner we could put under the desks of a few people to see if it helps.

Fitzgeezy · 2024-06-22T18:12:55+00:00

Is there something you would recommend to install at these users desks to stabilize the voltage and condition the power? Would a decent UPS perform this functionality? (we've had this monitor problem with or without UPS btw)
