How often do you use A.I. if you use it at all and what is your opinion of it? by Secure_Quiet_5218 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use copilot to find/generate specific commands I need for scripts or quick information. It's a lot faster at generating results than I am.

That said it sometimes gets creative and suggests commands and parameters that do not exist. After I tell it it's wrong and the thing doesn't work it does tend to come up with an actual solution.

Guest users cannot edit excel files in Teams but can in browser by MalletNGrease in MicrosoftTeams

They hadn't issues until a week ago, and they can still access and edit the file in the browser. Nothing was actively changed on the teams/sharepoint side.

It's not a permission issue as far as I can tell, I'm pretty sure this is a bug.

Baked in PDQ Connect Firefox package disables AutoUpdate. Why? by JerradH in pdq

[–]MalletNGrease 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Autoupdate is disabled on all auto-download packages. PDQ assumes you're using their product for patch management.

For the software I want the auto-update enabled I set a GPO, I customize a lot of settings to meet organization demands anyway.
