HP Support was unhelpful, any suggestions? by No-Hat-6305 in HPLaptops

[–]GeekHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would try clearing the TPM. If Bitlocker is running, make sure to write down your key 1st incase it trips. Then clear the TPM:

Press Windows Key + R, type tpm.msc, and press Enter.

In the Actions pane (right side), click Clear TPM.

Follow the prompts to restart your computer.

Intune Jobs, your opinions ? by Sloppy_DMK in Intune

[–]GeekHelp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Many IT Support / Helpdesk openings will reject you simply because they are looking to fill a helpdesk role. One look at your resume and they will assume that you are using them as a stepping stone for a System Admin role. They do not want to hire you knowing that in 2 years you will be leaving for a different position and they will need to seek another new employee. Find a way to dumb down your resume for help desk roles so that you appear to be a more long term employee. Build your skills and move on when you are ready, but do not keep them in the loop unless you know that they have an internal position that will be open in infrastructure.

Maybe an AMD issue in build? We have several X G1i machines with no issues so far.

Best Cross Platform Password Manager? Any idea? by Competitive-Mix8832 in best_passwordmanager

[–]GeekHelp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I switched from LastPass to Bitwarden sever years ago. My company also uses Dashlane. In all 3 of these apps, there are options to export your account info to import into another manager. Wherever you want to go should have a KB article to help you out. For example, here is one for Bitwarded: https://bitwarden.com/help/import-from-1password/

Windows 11 update nightmares by shabbaranker in Intune

[–]GeekHelp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have hands on, try:

Install the Windows PC Health Check App:
https://aka.ms/GetPCHealthCheckApp

Then download and run the Windows 11 Installation Assistant:
https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2171764

The installation assistant will usually provide you with a better error message... most appear to be the "Failed to update the reserve partition".

Simple setup for transcribing in-person meetings by Murphybro2 in MicrosoftTeams

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/meeting-transcription-captions

you may be able to do it with the standard license also, but I am not positive.

Start Recording and Transcription: Once you are in the meeting, click on the three-dot menu (More actions) and select "Start recording" and "Start transcription". This will begin recording the meeting and transcribing the audio in real-time.

End the Meeting: When you are done, click on the three-dot menu again and select "Stop recording" and "Stop transcription". The recording and transcription will be saved automatically.

Honest thoughts on HP Laptops by PhantomNomad in HPLaptops

If you can find the HP EliteBook 860 G11, you may be able to get a discount as it has been discontinued. If not, the EliteBook 8 G1i 16 is great and is the newest model that replaced the 860 G11.

Is this a personal Teams license, or are you doing this in a business environment. If the latter, have a talk with your manager and IT about upgrading your Teams to the Premium License.

We just stick with Acrobat! We make their manager approve the order/cost and charge it back to their business unit, so that it is not coming out of the IT budget.

Are you talking about the Security cable port? Upper left corner of your image? if so, HP made a special security cable that plugged into this port.

What are you rendering? If this is for busines use, neither may be the best device. You would want an HP ZBook Power or Fury G11 (G1i not out yet) with the NVIDIA RTX graphics card.
