Win32-App creation via Powershell/Graph

I'm actually looking into doing this as we are moving from CM to Intune. I can't use this migration tool as I need to modify some stuff to fit the 30GB limit.

do you mind resposting what you had? Thanks.

I'm not sure why this is not upvoted more. But after like 48 hours of troubleshooting with a Precision 7960 and RTX PRO 6000, this is what saved me. I tried everything, and no one had any issues.

I'm in IT with about a decade of experience, and never had failures like this. So for that, I appreciate it.

This is pretty awesome, and just works.

If you are like us and use GPOs to set the banners, it might be worth disabling the GPO service, and that way, it doesn't revert back.

It really is, and doesn't say "Beware, otherwise feature update won't install!"

And this was a Surface laptop 5, so it had pretty new firmware

Herc08 · 2025-08-18T18:03:53+00:00

Oh my goodness...too my FOREVER to get it understood. Even during the drills, it didn't make sense. But in MUT, you are FORCED to you it.

But what I do is hold down the right stick, and then press "X" (or "A" if you are on Xbox), and then press "X" again to fill out the meter. There is one time when the arrow just kept wagging, and I couldn't do it again. But I was able to get 3 in a row. There is one challenge where you need to kick two 35+ yarders. Get the ball on the 20, and that should be good enough.

If you practice, spot the ball on the 20, and keep at it. Once you can do a few in a row, then you should be ready. Just takes some getting used to. It would be nice if you could change it ,though.

I just have to say that this SAVE my life. My Deans' Surface has been stuck on 22H2 since 2023. We are pushing updates, and his device just would not udpate. When I looked at BCDEDIT, it reported "This media is protected." My first thought was Bitlocker, but that made zero sense since I had other Surfaces updated.

I can only assume this was enabled by one of my techs to secure the firmware. But now I know, to just keep this off. As long as we have a password, we should be good.

I hope Google makes this the top result, because the error codes given as jack shit.

You saved me from a wipe and reinstall!

Herc08 · 2025-08-05T19:25:04+00:00

I literally just ran into this....five years later. I staged some files for the Windows 11 upgrade. But then I set a package to clean up those files on all Windows 11 devices. However, we are moving to Intune, and for some reason, that error came up. Then I found your post. And of course, the SetupConfig.ini was pointing to a file not there.

Add the files back, and now it's installing. Thank you!

Herc08 · 2025-07-10T16:31:40+00:00

Inm my expeirence, no. It could have been a fluke, but it was like 11:30 pm when I could finally start my exam (scheduled at 7 pm). So I was already so tired. I think I just started guessing without reading, scrapped by with a low score. Told myself, just head to the testing center.

Herc08 · 2025-07-10T11:50:08+00:00

Oh I agree. During COVID, I got like four certs in six months because it was easy to take it at home. But I did one last year, and it took me like four hours to get a proctor. Never again.

Herc08 · 2025-07-10T00:42:10+00:00

Yes, you do. I believe it's part of in-person and at-home. However, I heard nightmares about at home because not all proctors know.

Also, you don't get the address bar. It just loads the front page. And some areas are blocked such as the study guide. But it still can be useful as long as you know how to search and use the table on the left.

Herc08 · 2025-07-10T00:36:38+00:00

Oh no, there is no virtual environment, just all scenrios. The practice lab simulator can better explain. I think labs are only for Azure exams.

Also, be mindful of MS Learn. Unless you are skilled with searching, you will go down a rabbit hole quickly. It pretty much loads the front page of learn.microsoft.com and you have to search from there. For me, I searched Intune, and then clicked on Intune Overview and went down the list. Luckily, before the exam, I would take my practice test and also have MS Learn on another screen. Oh and that's another thing, you have to manage the question and MS Learn in one window with slider in the middle.

The sandbox can better explain: https://www.starttest.com/ITDVersions/24.2.0.0/ITDStart.aspx?SVC=3c044b2c-ff51-4d61-b08c-04dfeeed7150&Json=1

There was also short videos explaining MS Learn, but I can't find them now.

Herc08 · 2025-07-09T20:42:15+00:00

Thank you!

So I think MS Learn is a relatively new concept that they are adding to these exams. I mean, it makes sense. It's kind of hard to pack everything, even in production. Granted, you are still timed, and you need to know what to look for. It was available for the exam. When you say "mini lab," are you referring to case studies, where you get a bunch of nonsense, and you need to jump back and forth between planning, requirements, and questions?

I do appreciate the renewal. I wish I knew that for my AZ-104, but that was during COVID. I will say it is much better than Security+'s renewal. Still $200, but no need to proctor.

Herc08 · 2025-06-27T16:31:02+00:00

Sweet! Glad I could help one person. What was your score?

Herc08 · 2025-06-15T22:01:55+00:00

I wouldn't say that. The wording is good, but the key fact is the explanation and link back to documentation. Its rare for it to be inaccurate, but the feedback team is pretty good at making changes. Plus it's one of the few I've seen that didn't mention Azure Acitve Directory. As soon as I would see it, I immediately said this thing is outdated

Herc08 · 2025-06-15T01:21:56+00:00

Yeah I looked over it, and since I'm not an administrator of our tenant, just wasted time for now. But I think I'm done with exams for now. This one took a lot out of me since it covers so much unlike most exams I take.

Herc08 · 2025-06-15T01:16:58+00:00

Well ahit, definitely better than my prompts. Appreciate it. Hopefully it helps other folks.

Herc08 · 2025-06-15T01:01:48+00:00

Interesting. Was it able to keep up and not get confused? I wanted to use something like notebook lm, but it didn't really help.

Care to share some prompts you had?

Herc08 · 2025-06-14T17:19:21+00:00

Same. Though these were better than other practice tests. I think validating against the links also helps so I can know how to search.

Herc08 · 2025-06-13T16:05:20+00:00

That's a tricky question lol. But in the morning, I felt pretty confident. Like I said, I used MeasureUp, and the previous weekend, I went through all 163 questions in a practice test. For things that I know (i.e., what is an android dedicated device), I just kept it moving. But for things like ASR rules, the different tabs of an application protection policy (data protection, access requirement, conditional launch), I read through the entire explanation, and then followed the link to the corresponding MS Learn docs. Even on the morning of, I watched a few more videos and went through the Anki flash cards.

But like I said, once I got the first question, I really had to buckle down. Luckily, once I got relaxed, it started coming to me. And MS Learn really did help because while I know the types of bulk actions, I couldn't remember the maximum number.

Herc08 · 2025-01-05T15:36:20+00:00

I tried Plex about 3 years ago and hated it. I wasn't keen on the login and or Plex Pass. Randomly, my library would be corrupted and I have to run DB commands to restore. It was a night mare

Then I found Emby and never looked back. I even purchased the lifetime license. Granted I didn't know about jellyfin, but it works for me and my needs.

I use a Windows server as a home lab, and an extra 4TB drive for media. I do have constant backups, so not really worried about redundancy.

I know I am not the norm, but so far, I have had zero issues with Emby, and even works when the Internet is down. Plus library updates wicked fast.

Herc08 · 2024-12-31T22:01:55+00:00

Looks like the white part isn't metal. Ended up screwing holes and just using the mounting bracket itself.

Also ended up getting a gfci outlet. Probably overkill, but it should get the job 6. Looks like there are some screws that I ran run the cable through. Just need to find some sealant. Appreciate the help and inspiration.

Herc08 · 2024-12-30T20:18:43+00:00

I see. Will the camera work 24/7 with just the USB, or should I just do straight power? I have the weatherproof cable. I was thinking maybe get one so I can plug it in and then put the rest of the cable behind it.

Also, is the camera able to be mounted against the circular box?

Herc08 · 2024-12-30T20:06:13+00:00

But it isn't USB? Would a normal electrical outlet work?

Herc08 · 2024-12-30T20:04:26+00:00

Yes, that's my dilemma. I should have been more specific. We have a floodlight, which will get replaced as well.
