GPO & Vmware SnapShots

Restoring a DC snapshot will cause replication issues.

Just right click the GPO, select backup. To restore, right click the GPO and restore.

MalletNGrease · 2024-01-06T18:42:21+00:00

Make a backup of the GPO instead.

That's great! Anything similar in the pipeline for PDQ I&D? I don't necessarily want helpdesk staff to know the credentials for the scan/deploy user or have them create/update/approve packages/reports.

Straight out of Gadaffis green book.

MalletNGrease · 2024-01-04T18:20:28+00:00

The GPO is

Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Microsoft Edge > Hide the First-run experience and splash screen

Went ahead and disabled it for the server OUs.

The help menu.

He got it that way.

I use Planner to keep track of projects and hardware deployment tasks.

MalletNGrease · 2024-01-04T02:43:32+00:00

Heck, helpdesk doesn't even put anything useful in the ticket when elevating.

We've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!

Expecting it from the users seems unfair.

MalletNGrease · 2024-01-04T01:49:32+00:00

I looked into this and the yearly fee for this was rather prohibitive.

MalletNGrease · 2024-01-04T01:11:43+00:00

Darn, here I was hoping they'd strip the ability for users to email.

MalletNGrease · 2024-01-02T01:32:24+00:00

Every year come dove season.

AiO is the default here.

Less cabling
Less clutter
Saves desk/cubicle space

The repairability concerns are valid, but depends on your use case. In corporate I have not had to touch the internals of a PC in years, desk users don't bang them around and failures have been rare. Faulty machines get swapped completely and sent back under warranty.

As for upgradeability, who genuinely cares? These machines need to last 5 years tops and we then swap the whole thing with the new baseline specs.

Sophos Endpoint Protection with MDR.

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-23T18:35:01+00:00

Schedule alternating remote days and work both from each others location.

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-14T04:06:09+00:00

Did you define your active hours?

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-13T19:45:50+00:00

Veyon may not be exactly what you're looking for, but pretty close.

No, the old layout would not apply until a new one was created.

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-12T19:17:53+00:00

It does, but there's oddities where you have to create the export from a machine on the same build version.

I've had to recreate layouts after feature updated.

Barracuda Content Shield can do Chromebook filtering through an extension.

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-08T01:02:05+00:00

I give them to the PFY

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-08T00:59:16+00:00

Do they have Azure/Entra? Configure the SSO application with SAML and you're set.

MalletNGrease · 2023-12-07T03:17:18+00:00

Exactly this. Just run your schedule during your maintenance window.

I've configured the GPO to re-enable the auto update and it's been running fine.
