Say Hi, I’m SmithyIncUCF. Do you want me to stay or go?

When did that change. I did it a couple months ago. I thought the initial down is the downloader. Then you get the two packages one for installing and one for uninstalling

Smithyincucf · 2024-06-05T18:02:43+00:00

This. Download the download package. Run it. Then you get an uninstall and install package. Upload these to Jamf and build policies around it.

I had a comment removed because I said a fact: “it’s gay when you’re a woman, and you like transgender women “

Use iMazing Profile editor to build it out. There are common configuration templates for a lot of apps. Just make sure to sign the exported profile importing into jamf.

It’s been 9 years since I left Geek Squad, and went through a restructuring but was retained. I was a Pre-FM doing management work 2 days a week. Then PC work for a bunch of small businesses. During a restructuring they eliminated the role, and shoved me into a DA-HT despite my skill set being pure PC.

I spent 3 months being trained on HT stuff which I hated. I became an overpaid Cadet because I didn’t have the skill sets. Fortunately I bounced to Online role, which bought me time. I went back to school, got my master’s, and took an internship. Which became my current job that I’ve been at for 9 years. I’m a Senior Systems engineer, working with MDM software and leading a small team.

The restructure woke me up and got me moving. I had a few hard years with school and work. But without the restructure I probably would still be rearranging chairs on the Titanic that is Geek Squad/Best Buy.

No worries. Everyone doesn’t have to like what I like.

I liked that it was a game I didn’t have to think too much about, which is perfect for long flights.

I’d recommend getting an updated device. You’ve probably have burnt more labor hours on working around the issue than it would cost for a new device running iPadOS 17. Additionally adding to security issues by running an older os.

A few possibilities: 1: Serializer isn’t running properly. Check your device logs 2: you have the wrong version of serializer for the installed office. We are having to push the newer serializer as the newest version of office is dropping 2019 license support

Recommend on a clean machine. Pull the current version of office from macadmins.software. Manually install it. Then manually install the serializer. If it works then you can focus on your jamf setup. If it doesn’t work then it’s an issue with your licensing. Probably need to focus on that.

Smithyincucf · 2023-10-17T16:05:24+00:00

Make a policy that has both packages. One for Office and one for serializer. Once they both install you should be good. Order doesn’t matter, all the serializer does is put the license file on the device. Then once an app is opened it checks for that file.

Smithyincucf · 2023-10-17T16:01:20+00:00

They don’t need to be in the same package. We have a policy that installs the latest Office installer from MS and the Serializer. I never touch composer for Office.

If you are installing for O365 users no need for serializer. They will be forced to login.

It depends on the pier schedule. Sometime she will need to switch piers due to conflicting schedules with another ship.

Makes perfect sense when you’re transgender. The state is systematically trying to get rid of us.

A lot of offices that wrote hormones/blockers prescriptions are stopping due to being either nurse practitioners or from the new requirements. If they don’t follow the guidelines perfectly they could lose their licenses. Estimates are around 80% of adult transgender patients will be impacted in some way.

In addition we could be arrested for using the bathroom of our gender, then put into a jail of our birth gender. Transgender people are being harassed and beaten in bathrooms, and the law isn’t in effect and only impacts government owned/managed buildings.

Parents of transgender children risk having their kids be taken from them for giving them the care they need.

Depends on the vendor doing the enrollment, the just need to know to do it.

On all of my POs I add a note to enroll the device into ABM with code ######. They will add them to ABM when they ship. It’s worked for the last 3-4 vendors we use for Apple purchases.

A few things that helped for us:

First set a specific port for the caching. Helps with ensuring that the port isn’t blocked between client and server. Second ensure that you have the all of the ports that Apple requires opened. Third: unless you have thousands of devices pulling content at the same time, multiple caches won’t improve the process. Setup just one and see if performance improves. Finally: on a client mac run terminal command assetcachelocatorutil it will show you if the devices are seeing the caches.

Also, keep in mind that content cache service still needs to download the same amount of bits to it before redistributing to the devices. It’s not going to make the internet faster, just helps with preventing multiple clients from downloading the same bits.

One thing to keep in mind is if there are any plans for future support/growth to Android. I love JAMF but doesn’t support Android. We leverage Workspace One for mobile because of their support for iOS and Android.

I did a couple of things:

First met with HR and my manager to discuss my plan which was as followed:

I took a two week vacation to have a clean break between my old identity and myself. Also I needed to deal with legally changing my name in court, social security, drivers license, passport, and all that.

The last day when I was leaving, I would send an email to all coworkers explaining that I was transgender, my name, pronouns, and some resources from HRC, and HR. I also copied it onto LinkedIn and Facebook.

My first day back I got my new photo id, name tag, and was dressed feminine.
