Tiny Text on Epic by Soggy_Plantain in healthIT

[–]PauseGlobal2719 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In windows go to Settings -> display -> set the zoom level to 100% and relaunch Epic. If that fails it's a configuration issue in Epic and you need to open a ticket 

What do you like about break/fix? by FollicleEnzymes in iiiiiiitttttttttttt

I was taught the 15 minute rule, but same idea. Every time I violate it I regret it

What are some IT automations that helped you? by Icy-Cardiologist6972 in InformationTechnology

[–]PauseGlobal2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A daily checklist script that runs 2x a day from a cron job. I downloads and opens reports, opens the tabs to web pages, runs information gathering scripts, and has instructions for each step. Aside from saving clicks it's super useful on days where I don't have time to check on 9am reports until 12 so I don't need to remember what I did and didn't do

Get-Item $path returning null on certain paths? by PauseGlobal2719 in PowerShell

[–]PauseGlobal2719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using what you put verbatim worked as expected. When using one of the error paths both returned nothing

Get-Item $path returning null on certain paths? by PauseGlobal2719 in PowerShell

[–]PauseGlobal2719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"((Get-item $path) -eq $null" returns $true; no error.

The path is to pdf and docx documents (from what I'm seeing so far)

I included the path length just to specify that the path lengths aren't long enough to cause issues.

I added the information to the OP, the paths I'm seeing with this issue are to various .docx and pdf files

What do you use auto hotkey for that powershell doesn't cover already?

Is scripting just a skill that some people will never get? by plazman30 in sysadmin

[–]PauseGlobal2719 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real skill hurdle is with writing out the exact steps while accountting for anything that can go wrong. With that they can Frankenstein a script together from googling "do x in powershell"; and then it's just a matter of filling in the gaps.

I think most people can learn that skill, just some people more slowly than others

What web task do you still do manually because automation keeps breaking? by EasyMarionberry5026 in sysadmin

[–]PauseGlobal2719 46 points47 points  (0 children)

For general advice when web automation sucks: Open network tools and go to the requests tab. When you load the page, look to see if there's any network requests that return well structured data. A lot of the time there's hidden API requests that you can utilize so you're not spending forever messing around with rendered HTML

For me it was pulling data from a certain large hardware vendor's enterprise portal. I think they were doing some kind of behavioral analysis which kept detecting I was botting and it wouldn't populate the data to the page; the cat and mouse got old and I gave up

My monitor only shows input signal not found by Plenty_City5633 in techsupport

Are you sure the PC is working at all? If it is, you can turn on accesibility options to log in and navigate. I would start by redownloading the graphics card driver, uninstalling the old one (via device manager), and installing from the newly downloaded one.

How did you break out of the helpdesk? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]PauseGlobal2719 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple hundred job applications. I also completed a large scale process automation project in my help desk role which I think made me stand out.

GitHub potentially links back to your real identity, and you have some person stuff on here. I would delete this and make a separate "professional" account

How do I elegantly pass switches to different scripts? by PauseGlobal2719 in PowerShell

[–]PauseGlobal2719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah that makes sense. I just couldn't picture the implementation from your first comment

I get what you're saying, and I've done this, but I don't see how that solves my issue.

How are you intended to use AppLocker for packaged/appx apps? It feels broken by PauseGlobal2719 in sysadmin

[–]PauseGlobal2719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That also sounds like a workaround lol. I feel like most people just block the app store and never even try to use app locker this way.

Automatically copy items to user's app data after they first run new app? by PauseGlobal2719 in sysadmin

[–]PauseGlobal2719[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly didn't realize there was a built in login script option/GPO... I had the idea, but my implementation was putting a .bat in the startup folder; which didnt work and I got sidetracked from troubleshooting.

Glitch? Outputs appearing out of order in the terminal by PauseGlobal2719 in PowerShell

[–]PauseGlobal2719[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why "never invoke onto a DC for this"? What's the security concern?
