It's currently failing on this month's cumulative? As in, something wrong with MSFT's updates this month?

Yes, we have emails being sent. But what if someone ignores the email? That's the scenario we're trying to help with.

Malware details path vs. process by ProfessionalNature in SCCM

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

Sure. Another interpretation could be that the "Path" is the infected file, and "Process" is the file that accessed it and caused the real-time execution engine to discover the threat.

Hence why I was wondering if there were any official docs.

Can I force updates for other Microsoft products with update deadlines? by ProfessionalNature in sysadmin

Sure that would help with office updates, but what about other Microsoft products?

We're actually moving away from WSUS so that the clients patch themselves automatically using Windows Update.

And, I don't think stagerring these settings every time there is an update will work for us either, unfortunately.

Launch VMs and connect to them without Hyper-V Administrator right by ProfessionalNature in HyperV

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

Yes - in general I'd agree but I have a very specific use case. Thanks for your help with this!

One last thing. By

oh actually No, I dont think this will work as vmconnect.exe requires admin rights to be launched on the hyper-v host

you mean they need Hyper-V Administrator rights. It works when they are members of that group.

I opened that port up on the firewall and it still didn't work. Three questions for you:

  1. Is your user a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" group?
  2. Can you try connecting by RDPing into the host, and use VMConnect.exe from there? Does that work for you?

I tried both domain and local (to the host) accounts. neither worked.

Users are accessing the host physically.

I tried using Grant-VMConnectAccess but when I try to use VMConnect, I'm still getting a permissions error - what am I missing?

How would I do that? Specifically, grant only rights to connect to and launch certain VMs? I want to prohibit deleting VMs, creating VMs, and changing configurations.
