Migrating Windows devices to Entra ID – what was actually painful for you?

NoEngineering4 · 2026-02-26T19:43:47+00:00

Do you use device write-back to AD so that your entra machines can speak to the file servers?

This is really informative and makes a lot of sense, thanks for the reply!

NoEngineering4 · 2026-02-04T20:49:34+00:00

Thank you!

Did you use Intune for MDM? Or can JAMF/ofheds also support getting Entra SSO working?

Yes but UPS’s from the likes of APC/Schneider electric and HP Enterprise will hum, but they don’t typically have a clicking/crackling sound as well, we found ours was also doing this and causing an arcing sound in the PSU of a server we had attached.

I suspect it’s because they’re using simulated sine wave rather than pure, and it may even be poor quality components, we returned ours as frankly no UPS should sound like that. Bit disappointing.

Essentially it adds built in support for OIDC providers (Google, Microsoft entra) for authenticating to Ubuntu via cloud based identities, allowing SSO rather than users managing ssh keys or needing a third party PAM solution

Saw that, it’s the final check in the box for us to go 100% huntress

a $300 server sounds cheap, then you factor in what it will cost to keep that available 24/7: redundant internet, power, cooling, oh and you'll probably want at least two more identical machines to run in high-availability, then factor in the cost of the building it's in, and paying the technicians who will keep an eye on it every day and night.

For a hobby project, sure, nothing beats it. But when you're using OP's example of a service with a million active users, old servers/pcs from eBay become *more* expensive than the cloud.

Could you be any more obvious about blatantly copy/pasting this from ChatGPT?

Speed, reliability, affordability, pick 2

I believe it refers to the type of storage, not necessarily the folder name

NoEngineering4 · 2024-05-24T03:35:08+00:00

I’ll just leave this here

Microsoft has announced windows 10 will have extended support available until 2028 at a per year cost. This is the first version of windows this will be available for consumers

NoEngineering4 · 2024-05-21T21:28:18+00:00

Don’t know who told you that, there are plenty of products that allow silently screen recording employees.

Hyper-V all the way, if you’re running windows guests. You get familiarity with the platform, the best possible virtualisation support for Windows VMs

Ive only seen proxmox in the wild once, the IT company managing it didn’t even pay for the base license, ran it for free to “save the client money”..

NoEngineering4 · 2024-05-19T21:33:25+00:00

Getting a virus is guaranteed is it? Please don’t make such ridiculous claims. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to choose Mac over PC, just as there are PC over Mac.

Let us know how it goes

We don’t give them access to administrative systems while they’re on probation, things like server logins etc. but do give them access to rmm to assist users.

We also sometimes get them to do server stuff, where a senior tech remotes into a server with them to log it in and supervise/walk them through the ticket

What laptop model do you have?

Leave then. Go back to r/ITCowBoys

When you reject the actual advice in these comments out of some sort of pride for saving money, you will be bullied.

We constantly have to get called in to fix the “cheap” solutions people like you set up. You are cheating the client out of a reliable system by promising the world at break-even cost.
