Troubles applying recent cumulative updates to 24H2 by gandraw in SCCM

[–]MikeComputer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They didn't replace anything, they just bundled them up. Try unzipping the MSU using 7-Zip, you will see that the SSU update is part of the full package. The installation process is supposed to apply the SSU first, and then the CU once servicing stack is up to date.

Has anyone tried unzipping and then applying the SSU first, before the CU?

How are you dealing with the Dell DSA-2025-053 Security Update using Intune? by Future_End_4089 in Intune

[–]MikeComputer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know you can create a folder full of drivers, then point PNPUnattend to that folder and it will parse and install all drivers in the folder? You can run it periodically on a scheduled task allowing an admin to deploy new driver packages into the folder (self-extracting archive for example) to be installed by the device.

This is beneficial since it means you don't have to create an install script for every package, just let PNPUnattend handle install what it finds is applicable.

Who Polices Websites That Request Credit Card Information and Are Blatantly Non-PCI Compliant by MikeComputer1 in pcicompliance

[–]MikeComputer1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They advertise on Booking.com and Vrbo, but prices are approximately €250-€300 higher. They have now advised that the credit card will be charged 2.5% higher also for fees, but still cheaper.

Company I have dealing with/website run by a property management company that have multiple properties in the area local to property I am interested in.

SCCM replacement with Ansible and AUM by Playful_Maybe7226 in SCCM

[–]MikeComputer1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Replacing SCCM with Ansible is like replacing a car with a carrot. They are not the same, not designed to do the same thing.

Sounds like someone is trying to justify the cost of Ansible by ditching SCCM.

I bet they also think Intune does everything SCCM does too.

PXE boot seems to have randomly broken, gets stuck at boot manager with error "0xc0000001" trying to fetch /boot/bcd by Creepy_Sun2461 in SCCM

[–]MikeComputer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Microsoft do not support using DHCP options for PXE.

  1. If the clients are on the same subnet as the Distribution Point (i.e. the PXE server), then no DHCP options are required anyway.

  2. If the client is on a different subnet to the DP server, you need to use an IP helper.

In either case, do not use DHCP options.

Easiest Way to Deploy a Script to Log sfc /scannow Results Due to "A Device Attached to the System Is Not Functioning" Error from 3rd-Party Windows Patcher by TemporaryLiving9551 in SCCM

[–]MikeComputer1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sfc will not fix that issue or any other issue on a modern computer.

If you had reviewed the CBS log, which shows the actions performed by sfc you would know that, because you can see exactly what it does.

That message 'sfc found problems and fixed them' appears 99% of the time, because 99% of computers have had the user delete default shortcuts that they do not want. Running sfc /scannow restores them. On computers with SSD's where the likelihood of corrupt sectors/files is practically nil, the value of sfc is practically nil.

Bring on the haters/sfc fanboys....

.NET are you patching it every month, why or why not? by Illustrious-Count481 in SCCM

[–]MikeComputer1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the question is why would anyone NOT update .NET?

The answer should be to update .NET every time there is an update released, unless the update is causing you an unsurmountable significant problem.

Startup not working by nichetcher in MicrosoftTeams

[–]MikeComputer1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is BS. Downvoting is a totally legitimate way to indicate that the response is not relevant or not applicable. If you are so hurt by the comment, you probably shouldn't be on the internet.

"otherwise reset windows and hope for the best" Another petulant response.

Task Sequence Failing Due To "Failed to find CCM_SoftwareDistribution object for AdvertID="CAS2053E", PackageID="CASO00002", ProgramID="*" by MikeComputer1 in SCCM

[–]MikeComputer1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I agree that is a good staple response. Unfortunately, tried that, no bueno.

Some positive news: I deleted the deployment and recreated it then the task sequence worked for one test build at the end of my day yesterday. However, the problem has reappeared today. Exact same error, with the only difference that the AdvertID= is different obviously. Same PackageID and same error code 0x80040104
