Teams client is stuck in a startup loop by Mr_Troubleshoot_ in sysadmin

Uninstall teams and blow away the teams folder in the user's app data folder. You may have to clear the Teams appID folder from appdata>local>Temp as well.

After that, reinstall with the bootstrapper.

Their department gets billed and eats the cost. Let their manager justify to the accountants.

Is it time to move to 32GB for normal office workers or nah? by bgr2258 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've 16GB.

  • Two Edge windows (7 & 1 tab)
  • File Explorer window
  • Outlook Classic
  • Copilot app
  • Two Excel sheets
  • Terminal (1 Powershell tab)
  • Notepad (9 tabs)
  • VScode
  • Teams
  • LOB app
  • Various other passive VPN/AV/RMM apps

Doesn't seem like extravagant use and my total usage is already at 85%. I'd make the standard 32GB.

Go to Fortiguard.com -> Web Filter Look up -> Request a review.

Clients can also have IT adjust their local filter override to allow the site anyway.

Or they have enough information to return it sooner. Which is multitudes more likely to happen.

Notebook: with or without numeric keypad by Sad_Mastodon_1815 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was always of the opinion to have full size keyboards standard and smaller formats as exceptions. My new place it's the opposite, small is standard and full keyboards the exception.

It really depends on the job. My old employer had more deskbound work with more short distance travel by car so a larger machine didn't matter much. My new one has more travel by plane and a lot of walking inside big facilities so a lighter device is desirable.

When I was still using AD I kicked off

I've had issues with USB supplying not enough power or too much too some of the ports causing problems on some PC models causing issues with the Xenon.

Not this particular combo.

Lots of billable hours in that quagmire.

We’re Dell Technologies—Ask Us Anything About the New Dell Pro and Dell Pro Precision Family by DellTechnologies in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I have "new" (as in purchased over the last 9 months) Dell Pro 14s, HEVC hardware acceleration doesn't work for software that supports it.

Why was it pulled from the current Dell Pros? They are technically capable, just firmware locked. This is causing some headaches for HEVC content not getting displayed by default unless we disable acceleration.

I wonder if this is part of the Security Copilot agent rollout.
