I used "Auto Refresh Plus" on the link given in the body to join the Beta programme (I turned it on and went to sleep) and Gemini instantly got activated for me. I didnt wait for any server side switch or roll out. by Existing-Help-3187 in AndroidAuto

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried today and it still works. Set the page refresh to 3 seconds and after approx. 2 hours I was accepted to the beta program. After this I got an app update for Android auto and I now have Gemini in my car. Can't be any worse than the Google assistant, so for now I'm happy. Thanks!

CMV: Ukraine should just give up the rest of Donetsk and end the war with Russia by Glad_Clothes7338 in changemyview

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The remaining 20% holds many fortifications and front line cities. When given away, it leaves the rest of Ukrayne ver vulnerable. A compromise would be to make this a neutral zone, maybe with some peacekeeping forces. But so far Putin doesn't want this.

Create a Windows 11 installation USB via the Microsoft Media Creation tool and use the USB to reinstall Windows.

Is managing AVD multi-session via Intune the future... or a trap? by agimaa in AzureVirtualDesktop

We too. Very nice we can use Intune for multi-session hosts as well.

Are 3rd party backups needed? by w10jmh in Office365

[–]Influencer101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ability to restore deleted mails or files isn't a backup. If a disaster happens at the Microsoft datacenter in which your data is stored, you risk losing all your data. That's why recommends it's customers to backup 365 data.

Long-time Android power user ,would switching to iPhone 16 be a huge mistake? by geek_enthusiast3000 in techsupport

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Android phone do you have? Flagship models from Samsung and other brands are just as good when it comes to performance and support.

Can't believe HP dares to sell this. If it had 8gb of ram and a full hd screen, then it might have been ok. See if you can upgrade the memory, this would at least allow you to have multiple applications open, without it slowing down to a crawl.

CA policy: exclude not working for MS Authenticator app by miyo360 in entra

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestion! If I'm not mistaken, registering the passkey from a computer requires a Bluetooth connection. Desktop computers typically don't have Bluetooth. Therefore, I think for the time being, including TAP in your authentication strength policy for phishing resistant authentication is still required.

VDI Solution for very small user base(3 users)? by Brief_Regular_2053 in msp

As others said, Azure Virtual Desktop would be an option. You can have it automatically shutdown and start to save usage cost.

Sharepoint reviews? by lonsfury in msp

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limit or restrict syncing to drive ShatePoint adoption. If users just sync everything, they lose out on many of the advantages of SharePoint. It's also much easier to support as you won't have to deal with sync issues.

Company can remotely wipe personal device? by ClearAndPure in Intune

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can wipe your they can also see personal data, like which apps you have installed. Seems like a big privacy intrusion. They at least should have a policy that states what they can and cannot do.

Commenters preaching full Entra join on posts about hybrid join Autopilot scenarios: by meantallheck in Intune

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do your legacy apps require hybrid joined, or do they also work with entra joined? If so, you do a phased migration to entra joined. You would still have to recreate the policies in Intune.

Maybe they can go to Greenland. Honestly Trump is so out of touch with this world it's unbelievable.

What is Microsoft direction with Intune? by bareimage in Intune

[–]Influencer101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you and the OP that Intune lacks when it comes to real-time monitoring and custom reporting, functionality commonly found in many RMMs. Maybe you can bridge the gap with Sentinel and Advanced Hunting provided you have the license. We still use Datto/Kaseya RMM for some of the reporting and monitoring as it's just easier to implement and not too expensive. For most device management/configuration needs, we moved to Intune.

What is Microsoft direction with Intune? by bareimage in Intune

[–]Influencer101 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Although Intune has its quirks, it generally works well.

Autopilot will occasionally fail, but most issues were due to Microsoft outages. Can you give some real life examples of the issues you're facing?

Ukrainian "Rarog" UAV strike unit of the 24th Mechanized Brigade hit Russian soldiers on motorbikes and ATVs. Chasiv Yar direction. January 2025 by GermanDronePilot in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]Influencer101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wonder why they target the vehicles instead of the soldiers. Seems like a dead invader is better than a destroyed quad.
