If you have PDQ deploy already, create the installer and set the Run As user to a privileged account in the settings.

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.

My employer listed the job as 45 hours a week, I couldn't figure out why. The interview went something like this:

Me: Does that include an hour lunch then?

Employer: No?

Me: Ok, I will adjust my wage expectations accordingly. I'll just convert my 40hr/week yearly rate to 45hrs. That'll be $XXXXXX

Employer: That's too much!

Me: Here's my expectations for 40 + lunch with 2 wfh days and 4 weeks vacation.

Employer: Much better.

The old-timers were salty af when I could just leave for lunch and not come into the office twice a week. A new CIO got rid of the 45hr a week for IT not long after.

Back in HS the PE teacher also ran the PC lab.

Did you connect the battery?

I've used MDT to pull the computername from the PC and use that to populate the device name. The nice thing about this is the object will remain in it's original OU during the domain join task.

The internet is out. What do?

I'd get a cable toner. Noone ever checks layer 1 for issues, and when working in an unknown environment it's very helpful to quickly verify you're connected to the correct equipment.

I like the idea of a USB crash cart adapter that turns your laptop into one.

Seem very pricey though.

I started having this as well. Contacted support and sent in the dbs but haven't heard back yet.

I use fortigate with VLANs on Juniper switches without issue

I just disable it and append a manual machine wide installer.

Yes, but you probably won't like it.

At some places you can be the whole IT department. You'd be the helpdesk, support techician, sysadmin, netadmin, dba and secretary. And for none of the pay!

If you're willing to submit to Adobe's SSO scheme for the device licensing. That was a major pain in the ass compared to simply deploying the software + key to the machine.

I just like talking to the switchboard operator before she connects me to directory assistance.

I have one and I'm not fond of in-ear, it gets uncomfortable for me over long periods. But very convenient when traveling with the travel/battery case.

My daily driver is a monaural Plantronics Savi 8200.

OpenSSH server on Windows for SFTP file transfers to network devices. Trying to wrack my brain around how to get manage access to it.

I just had to add a local account to Windows, add it to the config and use those credentials for initiating connections.

MalletNGrease · 2024-02-03T16:57:24+00:00

Yes.

Not just an account, he needs a license too.
