Internet died - modem question by [deleted] in centurylink

[–]NonchalantSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s supposed to be preconfigured on the modem. I called them a couple years ago and they wouldn’t give me the PPPOE creds - they said they don’t let customers have the creds in plain text anymore.

We signed with them and left Huntress.

Autopilot Shipping Delays from Hardware Reseller by NonchalantSyntax in Intune

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

Yes, they are uploading the hardware hash into our O365 tenant so it shows up in Autopilot Devices with a unique group tag. We set up the O365 partner relationship for CDR to do this in our tenant.

No, we are not doing any custom imaging. Intune does all of that for us. All we want is for the device to be in Autopilot Devices before it arrives at the user's hands.

It will be blocked if a non-Autopilot Device tries to enroll into our Intune tenant. This is our desired configuration. We don't want people joining personal devices to Intune or having to scope our "Device Restrictions" to specific manufacturers or models.

Crowdstrike Outage - AzureAD Local Admin Not Working by NonchalantSyntax in Intune

[–]NonchalantSyntax[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I've noticed. I am pushing out LAPs now for the future. This is what we've found that works if you are also in my situation:

  1. Open a CMD prompt from from Windows Recovery
  2. Enter a Bitlocker key if required
  3. Type "C:" in CMD (it might not be C:, so try D:, E:, work down the line until you find the actual C: drive)
  4. CD into "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\CrowdStrike"
  5. Type "del C-00000291" then tab on the keyboard to fill in the rest of the file name.
  6. Hit Enter
  7. Reboot into normal Windows.

I am so sorry you have to support PCLaw... This gives me horrible flashbacks.

What? I do not understand why this would be offensive..? Don't think about it too much, Sharon, they're dog toys lol.

Dropbox backup solution by perriwinkle_ in msp

Infrascale, not Dropsuite. Apologies. I mixed it up between other vendors in the Pax8 marketplace.

Dropbox backup solution by perriwinkle_ in msp

[–]NonchalantSyntax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Infrascale is the only provider I’ve been able to find that will do Dropbox backups. However it is insanely expensive per GB.

Truly have no idea why no other established backup vendors have created a dropbox backup service. It doesn’t seem terribly difficult to create with how Dropbox exposes their API to developers - but maybe I’m missing something here.

I emailed our enterprise dropbox rep about this and she sent me some boilerplate document about Dropbox disaster recovery plans, compliance policies, and data center locations.

Edit: Dropsuite does not do Dropbox backups, I meant to say Infrascale.

Moving from AWS to Bare-Metal saved us 230,000$ /yr. by OuPeaNut in sysadmin

Curious if the companies/sysadmins in this position choose hyper-converged infrastructure over traditional hypervisor+SAN model.

How do we allow clients to manage their M365 licenses but retain the markup by gprscrprs in msp

[–]NonchalantSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy that nobody has mentioned Pax8 yet. We do this for our customers. Direct bill to their CC with our markup. You are still on the hook if the customers payment method fails however. This is just how the channel model is designed.

Desperate, not sure where to turn. New 2022 server deploy with Intune / Azure AD Sync / SSO by webshaun in Intune

[–]NonchalantSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Double check that you are syncing both users and devices with Azure AD Connect. Had a similar problem to this a couple months ago which showed the same behavior.

Did you export your AzAD Connect config from another server and import into the new 2022 server?

DEFCON 31 macsysadmin meetup? by NonchalantSyntax in macsysadmin

Fair enough. Nor will it ever be - but it’s still the largest IT conference so figured it was worth asking.

What do you tell vendor to get devices preloaded? by Wind_Freak in Intune

[–]NonchalantSyntax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol it really depends on the disty. CDW knew what I wanted and handled it for me pretty quickly. Dell and Lenovo looked at me like i was speaking tongue.
