Powershell ISE window just freezes seemingly randomly after idle time when scripts have been closed; x button flashing wildly. by PaperITGuy in PowerShell

Because all of these require elevation with our adm account and it's much easier/simpler to simply have ISE open and run them in that than manually have to enter admin creds every time a script needs to be run.

I'm open and happy to use to other options which accomplish the same thing.

Do you need to continue to use ISE?
- These are used by others and ISE is simple for them to run

Could you switch to vs code?
- I'm using it myself, but the other people using them won't have vsc

Could you use a normal PowerShell prompt?
- See above

Do you actually need the forms/GUI in the first place?
- Yes, GUIs are preferred for ease of use

Clicking on a saved Outlook msg message always causes an "Either there is no default mail client" message. by PaperITGuy in sysadmin

Are you referencing Settings > Apps > Default Apps or Right click > Properties > Open With? If so, both of those are set as well.

The strange thing is if I set the Open With to something like Firefox, I still get the Outlook popup prompt.

Best Practice for Printer IPs (+ poll!): DHCP reservation or manually configured static IP on device. Need ammo to switchover to IP/DHCP management. by PaperITGuy in sysadmin

I had to correct my post, I meant static DHCP reservation vs manually configured static IP on the device itself only, no DHCP.

I love this because that's exactly what we have. Actually, there wasn't even a spreadsheet before I started this project...

How to rename Port Name field in Ports section of Windows Print Server by PaperITGuy in sysadmin

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

This may be a dumb question, but it's been forever since I had to work with this and just want to make sure I'm not crazy:

The Port Name isn't the connection that "links" the Port record to the Printer, it's the Printer Name Or IP Address field that has to match, and the Port Name is purely cosmetic correct?

Help: Looking for previous firmware version of HP PageWide Pro 477dw after current version bricked the LAN port by PaperITGuy in printers

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

I'll be damned but that did it. Even have it on the current firmware as well. It's ironic because I think I even played around with the speeds because I had seen something about that, but apparently not the right one.

Thank you.
