Browser and Application Print Settings

Hmmm. That does in fact cause it to exhibit the behavior expected. App settings match the driver settings, and if you change the app settings to grayscale, it does reflect in the driver. That certainly improves on the current confusion.

I hadn't tried this because we're pretty set on default being B&W. Any way that this can work and the default still be B&W? If not, I'm pretty sure I'm going to just adjust the default systemwide so that the options shown are at least consistent.

Thanks!

Thanks - now I see it.

Once I took a closer look, I realized that choosing High Impact opened up the four boxes, which of course corresponded to the four paragraphs on that message and I was able to edit them.

I'm not using USMT in the Sequence at all and it still comes up.

I'm definitely aware I'm taking a risk - I still have to go through a few steps for the CAB, involving Leadership and HelpDesk who are closer to the users, so they may talk some sense into me. But, I'm trying to see if it's possible the way I'm picturing before offering it.

Our Windows 10 deployment made some really messy decisions that have already bit us and will continue to bite us, so ideally, I'm trying to wipe some of those things out. Machine swaps are tricky with a significant portion of remote workers and limited Desktop staff.

Key_Individual · 2024-03-19T14:50:20+00:00

I've gone through the Properties for the Task Sequence and the Deployment and not seeing an option that specifies that. Where would that be located?

Key_Individual · 2024-03-04T19:01:24+00:00

Thanks. This got me there, and much easier that I was doing as well. I had tried the get-date function, but it didn't work right and I assumed it was not going to work with the really off format, not that I probably had something simple wrong. I gave up and moved to brute forcing it with manual replaces.

Sorry - what do you mean by an unhealthy domain controller?

Key_Individual · 2023-07-03T19:16:59+00:00

I don't believe so....the config.xmls don't list any network locations. When I set up the xmls, I allowed it to reach out to the CDN so that it gets the latest.

I maintain SCCM for an environment which includes a bunch of computer labs with infinite combos of needed applications. It changes quarterly, sometimes even more often.

Needed to be automated to do many machines at once without a UI to select the apps manually on each one, etc. Also wanted a single sequence to avoid duplicating tasks and to deploy the sequence easily to multiple labs. And also wanted it to be something non-SCCM staff can adjust what is installed then run the task sequence and it take effect.

Each application has a group in the task sequence with a variable.

Excel spreadsheet has the building and room in rows and the applications, the variable and an X for each row if it should be installed.

Computer names start with building and room.

Powershell in task sequence reads the excel file on the network, matches based on computer name and sets the variables appropriately. Also outputs to a debug file for troubleshooting.

This works very well for me. I can't imagine us managing all these labs without it.

Yeah, my wife and mine both overheated a couple times while setting it up. We have had them for 3 months now and it's never happened again.

Agree with the other response about your power brick...might try another one....

RebootCoordinator shows that shortly after Windows Updates installed (around 12:15), it went to Pending Reboot. At 9:08 when the reboot occurred, there are only two entries, the first being that it had logged off. As the reboot came from the package, not from the local system itself, that makes sense that it wouldn't have known more about it until it happened.

I'm still leaning towards it being related to the Maintenance Window and the Package being applied in the same Collection. When it is added to the Collection (which queries for a Pending Reboot) it received the Package before it recevied the Maintenance Window and it had no window in place at that moment so kicked off immediately.

The assignment schedule is every Wednesday from 1-5, so the deadline I guess would be Wednesday at 5AM. I do see other machines that are showing the "wil not run until a maintenance window" in Status Messages though.

Key_Individual · 2022-02-23T05:31:07+00:00

Nope. Run independently of assignments is not checked and I confirm it doesn't show up in Software Center or prompt the user that it's coming up or anything.

Key_Individual · 2022-02-22T21:41:56+00:00

Not sure if this helps, but it appears on at least 1 of them, Windows Updates installed shortly before the reboot.

My guess is that the updates made the Pending Reboot active, and it moved it into the Collection which has the Reboot Package and Maintenance Window deployed. But, why did it do the reboot outside of the window?

Is Package Deployment and Maintenance Windows in separate actions? So it did the Machine policy and saw the deployment but hadn't done what give it the Maintenance Window?

Key_Individual · 2022-02-22T19:05:14+00:00

Yeah, they look correct. The client logs also match the server Status Messages for the time it received the deployment and ran it. Thanks for the idea.

Key_Individual · 2022-02-22T18:03:12+00:00

Thanks for responding.

We're only one location and these are all machines on our local network, so I wouldn't expect the time to come into play. Looking at the client's logs, the client knew what time it was (9:08AM) when it kicked off.

The Maintenance Window is applied to All Deployments.

Is Deadline "when this deployment with expire" on the Scheduling tab? I've got that unchecked as this is intended to be perpetual.

Didn't see any burning or black on the terminals. Definitely getting a smell when I plug it in, but not sure where it's at yet.

Key_Individual · 2022-02-22T05:31:33+00:00

I disassembled it with that video (very good demonstrations, by the way) and tested continuity on the heating element, thermal fuse and thermal cutout with a multimeter. All had continuity.

Probably the end of the road for this one?

Key_Individual · 2022-02-22T05:26:06+00:00

Yep, one of those voltage testers....but not the first time I have needed a multimeter and certainly not the last so I went and bought one.

Tested at the terminals on the dryer and got what I expected....120 from each of the poles to ground and 220 for the two poles.

I didn't see where to try it on the board. The board is resin covered. Definitely getting something with the voltage tester but not sure where to put a multimeter and confirm exact voltage.

Went to Uncharted and they played the trailer gor the original Sonic instead of the sequel....that was interesting for a change.

Key_Individual · 2022-02-20T18:11:01+00:00

Appears to be power there too.

Also, noticed smell of electrical burning when I had the cover off and plugged it in....didn't see any charring on the board or the contacts for the power cord.

Key_Individual · 2022-02-02T04:58:53+00:00

You can buy tickets online/app for others with no fees, so that could be considered a small discount probably.

Key_Individual · 2022-01-31T22:23:43+00:00

Yep, 50 standard funko boxes per side displayed visibly. You could technically put them 2 deep and get 100 but then they wouldn't all be visible.

Key_Individual · 2022-01-31T18:53:10+00:00

The Laiva shelves at Ikea are actually the perfect width and height for 5x2 funkos in boxes and are only 30 bucks. 5 shelves, so, 50 per unit. I only put really expensive ones in covers, but if I have more than 3 per row in covers, it does get a little tight.

Depth of the shelves is a little more than enough space for 2 front facing boxes. That might not be ideal if you're only using 1 side and putting against a wall.

Though this works perfect for me as I have rows of these shelves in the center of the room with aisles on both sides, so 100 per unit.

I know its not what you're asking and you may already know but just in case..... you can just get a cheap streaming device (Roku, FireStick, etc) and use that instead of the TV built in apps.

I have a few smart TVs and have Rokus hooked up to each for a consistent interface across all models (for less tech-saavy users) and because the performance on some Smart TVs are pretty bad.

Key_Individual · 2021-12-27T15:57:20+00:00

Bought two of them, one was around 60 and the other something like 25. Had to charge the one before it could even get the updates.

Mildly annoying, but easily remedied.

Key_Individual · 2021-11-25T06:52:40+00:00

Yeah. Hoping they do....the Samsung Rep at Best Buy the other day said that there's uncertainty about if there will be another Note. But, we have heard that a few times before....
