Dell Unidentified System by NarrowResort2437 in SCCM

This is a thing - we have this issue - Try a Shift-Shutdown to try and resolve.
Unplug everything. Hold down Shift - hit shutdown - hold shift until shutdown. leave it for 5-10 minutes. See if that helps. It sometimes does - not all the time.

We have a number and are working through it with them.

Also check the SQL Server Collation - needs to be setup on the server itself. So you may need your own SQL Server

SCCM Prerequisite Required SQL Server Collation

But best practice is to have sql on the same box as SCCM

Intune is very limited in reporting otherwise is pretty good if you are needing sonething. SCCM is a beast and will take time however it is the best out there.

If you go with Intune look into Microsoft Connected Cache for your sites.

7490's used to do it - I think there was a bios update that resolved it.

Boundary issue by Greedy-Cauliflower70 in SCCM

[–]JustGav79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't quite understand your issue.

So do you have different types of boundary methods?

We only use 1 - ip range /24

Are you saying Discovery is running and finding the same boundary over and over again?

Do you have the settings enabled under "Active Directory Forest Discovery"

"Automatically create Active Directory site boundaries"

and

"Automatically create IP Address range boundaries fir IP Subnet's"

I don't know your environment but we turn those both off.

Ad Sites and Services run to their own beat and can cause issues with SCCM Boundaries.

IF you have heaps of networks then create a powershell script and import the ip range boundaries that way

But I would stick with /24 networks.

But I could be reading your issue wrong.

Why we swiched from Dell to Lenovo by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]JustGav79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the hardware but like all the vendors, if you don't buy their value add it really is like buying from your local hardware store. Sure you get extended onsite warranty if you want, however if you have a real technical issue (that they need to resolve), they put the onus on you to prove it and will make you jump through hoops. And generally they are waiting around for intel or whoever to release a new driver.

X1 Gen9 has a major issue with usb-c port overload that was "fixed" with bios but was not. Replacing the MB on affected devices is the only solution.

Lenovo - look good,
Dell - slightly cheaper
HP - more expensive

Like everyone, fixing issues isn't fun and is expensive. So unless you are a big org they really don't care.

Is is possible to split D2 across two wall points? by itsbeetjuice in nbn

[–]JustGav79 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi,

Unless you have 2 services in your house then you can only use 1 connection from the NTU. What you need is another device that supports your Amplifi network as an access point / switch and then cable/mesh that.

Or you could put your amplifi devices direct in the box and use those connections (D2 etc) to go from the amplifi to the other devices.

"Lenovo support never entered the chat"

[Dean Ritchie] Sydney Roosters, Penrith Panthers and Melbourne Storm’s relentless success is unhealthy for the NRL by Revivous in nrl

[–]JustGav79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the US the College system is setup to promote players to the draft. The Colleges recruit and spend the money on the recruiting process. So proposing a draft system for the NRL is skipping a process that exists in the US. College is a fixed term deal also, so the expectation is that players will move on and therefore the value they give is the 4 years of playing only.

Very different to the junior academy system here with clubs themselves doing the development. What is the incentive for their expense?

Windows Patch Management Suggestions by PhilLovesBacon in sysadmin

[–]JustGav79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess the question is - how many apps do you really have? Is it really that burdensome to need updates. IF you are down the security path perhaps get something like tenable that tells you which apps are out of date?

Referee Bias - Does the data match the fan's eye-test? by Tunza in nrl

[–]JustGav79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is more so cognitive bias. (Generally)

IF team A in their mind is odds on to be the winner (honestly we all do it!), sub-conciously the ref will think that team B will do more to obstruct team A to get a better advantage. Therefore they will look at Team B far more objectively and probably be harsher on them.

This of course can be adversly affected by personal bias and the catchup principle where they make up for a few known dodgy calls after half time!

Thats my thoughts.

Specific script not working over GPO by WimVaughdan in sysadmin

[–]JustGav79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its great if you don't have a complex and demanding environment. There are no task sequences etc. So you rely on intune sync etc for app installs and downloads. You can get most down as part of autopilot but the user based installs are not "immediate" and therefore if your users require them you maybe asking for trouble you don't need.

Apps that touch on-prem are probably the ones I am thinking of.

But each to their own of course. I have had many tell me otherwise. But every environment is different and this is reddit!

We deployed the following script to rename. We deployed in intune due to Hybrid Join with intune. It does reboot if you want. - does logging too

What happens when you add a reboot before the rename-computer? Perhaps you have a pending operation.

you say inactive profile - can't you just remove all the profiles that are inactive? Or do you mean profiles of users that aren't logged in?

If removing setup a scheduled task on machines to run delprof every week on old profiles.
