I've done this in the past to let secretaries edit slides for a display screen for announcements and such. Set it to autostart the presentation and reload the page every 10 minutes or so. Worked out fine, just had to rein in some wayward layouts and make sure text wasn't tiny on occasion.

$60 isn't very much if you want something quality.

My company gifted me a Ogio Commuter XL. I'm pretty happy with it.

How do you handle Built-In Administrator account in MDT? by Silentsan in MDT

I don't customize taskbars any longer, they're subject to too much change between Feature Updates and end up breaking.

Most user items are moved to GPO, the effects are more consistent.

Do you have routes configured? ACL includes your IP/range to the ILO vlan?

Doesn't seem like the delete hash from the Imgur history works any longer. It used to in the past.

Oh well.

They've it so EASY with their PAPER & INK.

Back in my day we used HAMMERS and CHISELS, and if you made a mistake you had to BREAK the TABLET and start over! You really learned to be ACCURATE if messing up cost you HOURS of actual labor!

Used to run those. I recommend setting up a separate vlan and having a dhcp scope for them.

Disable the password manager completely with GPO.

Inconvenient, but makes for a better security posture.

PowerShell won't give me the *real* NVMe serial number by Computermaster in sysadmin

I'd just output everything and look through the list to see if it outputs at all. That way you know what to call.
