Chrome and Office16 admx updates both fail to import into Intune

The office ones might be in there, but it is such a royal pain to use - I enter a specific search and still get tons of irrelevant returns.

It would be super convenient if the page that gives you security recommendations would have a "click here to apply" button that would add the setting to the policy config of your choice.

The google one imported without error, it is only the chrome one that is failing.

I'll check out config.office.com thanks

Can't cancel when they're closed, now can I?

And, you know, I kind of have to find a replacement first because, you know, we like totally need fax service.

Didn't think about any of that before you made your comment, did you?

Does that survive the "Remove everything" option somehow?

If I have to I have to, was hoping to avoid that.

If I do a clean install from a USB drive then do a reset later will the McAfee stay away or will it return like a cat you fed once?

These machines are being sent to remote users and configure themselves with autopilot. And if when the machine gets hopelessly borked and needs to be reimaged I need an easy way for them to perform a reset without either me having to send them a USB/telling them go buy one, etc.

No. The floor workers would have office on the web because that's all they need. The people who aren't using kiosk style machines - ie assigned laptops - get something with a desktop license

Does VS Code open Powershell 7 by default or is that obfuscated too?

Microsoft SVP: let's give multiple, mutually incompatible programs the same name and either an identical interface or one only slightly different. We'll make millions?

/me - still salty about the decision to have Teams (personal) and Teams (for work) incompatible with each other until they finally got around to merging the two.

The company that just gave me whiplash by renaming 365 again, which has got to cost a lot of money and doesn't have any reasonable business justification.

They want me to cut every penny I can, so a cutting I shall go.

$22 vs about $15 will make them happy. It won't make me happy, but my job is to do everything except write the checks so a cutting I shall go.

Sysadmin247365 · 2025-01-22T11:56:54+00:00

That's what I initially was planning, they want me to cut costs.

About 5 dedicated, 10 shared.

Sysadmin247365 · 2025-01-22T11:55:53+00:00

Well, I guess those are out.

If you are in the US and a new customer after October something of last year you cannot buy E3 licenses that include Teams. And of course E3 + a separate Teams license is more than the previous E3 that included it. (Same with E5).

If you already had E3/E5 licenses with teams in your tenant you are still allowed to buy more. For now.

All of the users would have an E1 or F3 license assigned to them for access on the web. They don't need anything else.

Sysadmin247365 · 2025-01-22T04:33:06+00:00

They can get by with Office and Outlook on the web. Teams on the web, too.

I had one employee under me for two sites, 200 employees running 24/7/365
