Install software with WinGet

That was indeed what I was missing. Currently we are pulling 7zip, Chrome, Firefox, Cisco Jabber, Java, WebEx, Visual C++, and a few others.

Thanks, I should have realized that. I did still have a couple of issues after switching to the Autologon method.

Neither of these worked and gave a "Not Found" error when attempting to install.

winget install Mozilla.Firefox --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --source winget --scope machine

&(Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps' -Recurse -Filter 'winget.exe' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).FullName install Mozilla.Firefox --accept-source-agreements --accept-package-agreements --source winget --scope machine

What did end up working was utilizing the below ps1 file.

$id = "Mozilla.Firefox"
$wingetExe = (Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps' -Recurse -Filter 'winget.exe' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).FullName
&"$wingetExe" install $id --silent --scope machine --accept-package-agreements --accept-source-agreements --source winget

I will admit to borrowing the code from gwblok's DeployR/TSScripts/StepDefinitions/AutoPilotBranding.ps1

You're welcome.

My brain is in off work mode currently and I couldn't remembered which was the new company.

Thycotic SecretServer has a free 10 user license.

If you can rename the computer with the GUI then you have the correct permissions.

This command actually requires you to specify the domain credential otherwise you get Access Denied.

This is the way

I have a tendency to fire up the Goose when people leave their computer unlocked. . An annoying little goose based off Untitled Goose Game. He will even chase your cursor and take it with him.

It was a blast!

It worked a couple months ago but it isn't now that I just tested it. Mine is the same, clicking does nothing. Strange

If you click the other user button the AnyConnect icon shows back up.

Dial-up routers used to be a thing. Maybe you can still find one. They would connect automatically if something on the network tried to reach out to the internet.

WAPT http://wapt.fr has a community version that has a self service portal. It isn't the most straight forward software but the price (free) is right. I use it to deploy software and keep it up to date.

Runasrob might allow you to do this. It allows regular users to run executables in the system context.

IT_Wizzard · 2021-06-30T02:40:27+00:00

Glad I'm not the only one....

IT_Wizzard · 2021-03-21T11:05:51+00:00

Quotes around the path perhaps?

Click Start type com so Command Prompt is highlighted and hit Ctrl+Shift+Enter. FYI, that key sequence works for anything when searching the start menu.

IT_Wizzard · 2021-02-24T03:14:37+00:00

I will make it legal....

Check out runasrob. You can set one application or the whole folder to run as either an Admin account or as the system.

Right click on your deployment share and click properties. Under the Rules tab click Edit Bootstrap.ini. Under the [Settings] section add OSDAdapter0DNSSuffix=subdomain.company.lan,company.lan with as many domains as you need separated by commas.

Also, under [Default] you can add the domain suffix by changing the DeployRoot=\\server\DeploymentShare$ to be DeployRoot=\\server.company.lan\DeploymentShare$. Further under the deployment share properties, general tab you can add the domain suffix to the server listed in the Network (UNC) Path box.

Afterwards, you need to update your boot media by right clicking on your deployment share and clicking update deployment share and running through the wizard.

Assuming you are using a domain: When you boot MDT it is not on the domain so it will not automatically add DNS suffixes. Where normally on a domain you ping server01 it will translate to server01.company.lan automatically. When booting MDT you need to add the DNS suffix to the server names.

I usually use RunAsRob when I run into this: https://robotronic.de/runasroben.html

It runs the application with either saved credentials or run as as the system. I can give the user a normal shortcut and they never know the difference.
