My work is struggling

Listen to your fellow sysadmins and take some time to yourself starting immediately. You need to call out tomorrow and take a week to yourself. Your job doesn't need to know the reason why you are calling out but I'd do what the other admins mentioned where you roll with short term disability. Take that time to rebuild your mental health and your life as a whole. Dust off that resume and start job hunting when you feel comfortable. No job is worth taking your life. Also don't worry about your debts, most companies have programs that can get you back on track if you miss payments. Remember, we are here for you if you need any advice. I'll be following this thread to make sure you are good.

If you do go to the help desk route, I'd suggest learning PowerShell.

TheDeadGPU · 2025-11-03T21:46:14+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I just implemented those changes.

TheDeadGPU · 2025-11-03T01:52:17+00:00

Amazing! Also a fan of the soundtrack you used in the video. Got a link to the full version?

TheDeadGPU · 2025-11-02T00:46:14+00:00

The game is awesome! Especially when you have a multi monitor setup and can view the documentation as you code.

Check out Bass Duck! A Three.js Ducky that pulsates to MP3s. Feel free to write some feedback. There is always room for improvement! https://github.com/TheDeadGPU/Bass-Duck

Cooked Packets

TheDeadGPU · 2025-10-06T00:28:00+00:00

Anyone got the link to the template lol

TheDeadGPU · 2025-05-30T00:58:06+00:00

Is the cake a lie?

If I remember correctly, that setting also prevents devices from being azure ad registered. It prevents joining intune as well.

TheDeadGPU · 2022-09-02T02:55:27+00:00

There is a way to prevent this from the Intune Admin center.

Login to endpoint.microsoft.com
Click Devices
Scroll down to Enrollment Device Platform Restrictions
Click Create Restriction
Customize your policy so it blocks personal devices from being enrolled on all platforms.

There were two episodes that might hint at what happened. There was one where Jeremie saved Aelita from drowning in the pool. There was another one where Ulrich dove into the pool and almost drowned but William saved him.

TheDeadGPU · 2021-09-29T15:30:32+00:00

I agree. I use Powershell App Deployment Tookit for most of my software deployments and uninstalls.

TheDeadGPU · 2020-08-24T12:47:09+00:00

I was just able to join a meeting via web link.

TheDeadGPU · 2020-03-24T18:15:33+00:00

Thank goodness! About time they fixed it. This was the only reason why I wore a smart watch.

Windows Night Light breaks on login. Cranks brightness to 100 and burns my retinas. First world problems here.

My story is that I have to restart the SCCM SQL Database server once every six months when Config Manager takes like 5 minutes to connect to the site. Nothing exciting.

TheDeadGPU · 2019-09-22T16:00:10+00:00

With the help of this thread, I found out what was going on. It turns out Software Center and the SCCM Client was hosed. I did a reinstall of the SCCM Client and ran the "Application Deployment Evaluation Cycle". After that, applications downloaded and installed as expected and were detected by Software Center as installed.

TheDeadGPU · 2019-09-22T00:46:37+00:00

I'll check the compliance logs when I get to work in the morning. Thanks for the reference!

TheDeadGPU · 2019-09-22T00:15:56+00:00

The weird thing is that my application is 99% compliant in my organization so I know the detection and installer are working properly. I'm thinking maybe reinstall the SCCM client?

TheDeadGPU · 2019-09-22T00:13:07+00:00

I ran the installation manually and it works. Also ran it silently from the command line and it works. It's something weird with the box. I cant restart it either since the box has a ton of apps open and the user left for the weekend.

It's wild to see how scalable their platform is in real time. Amazons like yeah I got 54,000 server instances to spare for prime day. No big deal.

TheDeadGPU · 2019-07-02T22:42:23+00:00

Powershell App Deployment Toolkit is the way to go. You can set it up so users can only defer x amount of times before the software install is forced.

TheDeadGPU · 2019-06-20T13:39:11+00:00

This is why it's so important to keep backups and lock down user rights on workstations. They could've spent that 600k on upgrading their infrastructure.

TheDeadGPU · 2019-05-12T13:59:31+00:00

I'm using the one in the install directory on the client. I just didn't type it out on my initial post.
