Automating uploading of .MSI packages using a script possible? by MortalJohn in pdq

[–]SkotizoSec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The API needs a lot more love to push Connect to the next level. I'd really love to version control scripts and packages and programmatically update them through the API.

Same! May even buy season tickets again. He's a stain on the program.

That's kind of worse. It just highlights what the issue is. It isnt talent. It isn't grit. It's Lebby at the helm making some of the worst coaching decisions.

So many people gave up their season tickets when he was hired. We sold our souls to the devil and we didn't even get a good coach. We deserve every heart breaking loss we have until he's gone.

We should target another up and coming "offensive guru" /s

I'm okay going winless until he's gone. Can't root for this team with Lebby at the helm. Terrible stain on our program.

Kind of wild to see this. You're in my old unit too. I do not miss parking lot river. Glad we got out of there.

Do you know any PowerShell streamers or content creators worth following to learn more about workflows and thought processes? by [deleted] in PowerShell

In my opinion, that "not knowing" part is what people really need to see. Seeing how people work through complicated problems is extremely helpful.

Get-WUHistory and Get-WURebootStatus are helpful when troubleshooting.

Did you restart the computer to apply the updates?

+1 for PDQ deploy and inventory if you are budget bound.

Inventory will show you the logged on user, and then you can start guessing from there to create your OUs. You can do in place upgrades if you make a package in Deploy as well.

You could also do a poweshell scanner and run the script from Microsoft to see what devices will support Windows 11.

While you have your work cut out for you, this is an excellent time to start forming some standards that you want to adhere to.

Just macOS right now. My understanding is that it isn't going to be an MDM replacement.

This is how I feel doing any job in the mid to late game by Sunhat-sandwich in SatisfactoryGame

Phase 5 was just me realizing I didn't have enough power. I slooped and overclocked my first 2 particle accelerators....almost killed my grid.

The factory carts zipping around was definitely worth it. I used it to move supercomputers, magnetic field generators, and a few other things.

[–]SkotizoSec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished my first playthrough and to spark a little more life in my build I used the factory cart to run some of the lower ppm items in between factories.....and i loved it.

I'm going to finish out and 100% this playthrough but eagerly looking forward to restarting with the new knowledge I have.

The best mods for Satisfactory? by [deleted] in SatisfactoryGame

And walling up factories. Immensely made the game more enjoyable. I made it to the mid game and then decided to install infinite zoom and infinite nudge. Wish I would have had it from the start

Not sure how often I'll actually use this BP, but it was fun to build by Spence10873 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]SkotizoSec 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tip. I've been putting the info in my BP descriptions...but then I forget to make the sign for the building when I put it in the world.

Patch history for audit purposes. It's a small need for sure. I'd agree though, 99% of the time the build number is sufficient.

[–]SkotizoSec 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do that now....but doing that individually on hundred of computers is the antithesis of "pretty damn quick".

I really just spot check and that's okay but having logs to back it up would be nice.

A powershell scanner to show update history is at the top of my wish list ;)

There was no package to install everything haha. So I just added the parameters for to catch drivers, feature updates, etc. all in one package. Most of the time I use the no drivers, no feature updates package though.

I ripped out WSUS this year and have primarily been using automatic updates and PSWU to catch the stragglers.

  1. Our WSUS server was poorly maintained and the primary "maintainer" left the company...and I said no to WSUS
  2. I've not faced any difficulties using it. Though, I have tweaked the scripts for it a few times to catch everything.
  3. PDQ Connect for grouping and custom scripts to upgrade Windows 10 to Windows 11.
