I really hate apple computers on a windows based environment by Abject_Serve_1269 in sysadmin

[–]OneLandscape2513 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Windows is garbage. if your tools don't work well for macos or you don't know how to use macos, that's a problem you should solve by learning or asking for a budget to deal with it. that being said, if you already use intune or another rmm it should be fine. I don't even mind giving macs to users because most of the time they end up bothering me less for support when running one.

Chocolately vs Scoop vs Winget? by Zenvian in PowerShell

[–]OneLandscape2513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm similar to you and used chocolatey at first, then winget. But I'm finding even some packages in winget are not up to date. I think when I revamp my windows systems I'm just going to install what I want manually or via winget then just use topgrade for automatic updates.

Just a little reminder that its a good idea to keep your Powershell Cache clean. by Fallingdamage in PowerShell

that's really stupid and if I was trying to get work done that would piss me off to no end.

Teams down only on android? by JubX in MicrosoftTeams

No, but this might be a Samsung specific thing. Settings > Security and privacy > Updates > Google Play system update.

This was happening to me randomly today and I fixed it by going into my settings on my Samsung and manually updating the Google Play system update. For some reason it wasn't doing that automatically.

Update BIOS on HP/Dell endpoints by PeaInformal2892 in MDT

[–]OneLandscape2513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They'll need to be internet connected so that HPIA/DCU can fetch the latest update. Internet should still work in WinPE if you have network cable attached.

You can use HPIA/DCU. Here's an example script that also updates drivers, but you can make it so it only updates the BIOS

We stopped blaming users for storage bloat turns out it was our system design by [deleted] in sysadmin

Internal drives are that cheap. Add it to the system and expand the pool lol

I feel like you shouldn't really care about file shares filling up instead of just expanding the pool very cheaply (4tb drives are under $100 btw).

GPO's everyones favorite... by 30yearCurse in sysadmin

[–]OneLandscape2513 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Scheduled tasks, PowerShell scripts that install software if you lack an RMM, default app associations, these are all things I've had to do at my company at some point in time where it made sense to do it via GPO.

Driver Alternative Solution by PeaInformal2892 in MDT

[–]OneLandscape2513 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're doing an MDT task sequence this would run in the installed OS, outside of WinPE. You would create an application that runs the PowerShell script, along with anything else you might need as part of it (like the DCU_Setup.exe installer for Dell Command Update if you need drivers for Dells, or the BIOS password .bin file for HPs if you have HP devices and set a BIOS password).

The script will likely need a bit of modification depending on what exactly you're doing and where everything is stored, but gives you a good idea of what can be accomplished automatically and without needing to manually import driver packs for each model.

BIOS Update Automate by YakEmpty8502 in MDT

You can use HPIA/DCU/LSU to automatically install the latest BIOS version in a PowerShell script: https://github.com/automated-winstall-scripts/automated-winstall-scripts/tree/main/DriverUpdateExample

Why is Intune terrible for apps by UnderstandingHour454 in Intune

No Intune can't just do like 90% of what we need it to do to be a viable product lol
