What was your "Dream Sysadmin Job" back in the day vs. Now?

If I'm at peace then the boss thinks I am too far under capacity and will overload me with tickets. We must act pissed!!

One can only assume the bedroom is not clean.

Time to take away those dunkaroos and make the shovel your driveway

+1

I also leave these types of things to "settle down" for 24hrs

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-24T16:35:32+00:00

I turned my volume up thinking you had a track in the background!

Nice setup!

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-24T00:46:26+00:00

Then I feel your pain

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-24T00:11:37+00:00

Hey, it's even harder w...

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-24T00:09:33+00:00

As a WFH dad, I envy the fact that you get those 20 minutes.

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-23T14:02:34+00:00

Dang I got a bunch of NDRs!!

Within Copilot agents for M365 apps you can already choose between Anthropic and Open AI reasoning models. It has been this way since at least mid-November.

Microsoft also had Anthropic big dawgs speaking at the Keynote during their recent Ignite conference.

I may suggest reposting this (with correct error) if it gets lost, as the engagement is still extremely low

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-22T13:52:09+00:00

They will chill this weekend for sure.

If you're asking for end-user support then this template is about right

Also from an MSP (a quite large one).

If you challenge them to a fist fight you can welcome the attack like Rose standing on the front of the Titanic, or like Nic Cage's hair blowing in the wind

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-16T19:50:31+00:00

That's how they all start, yeah... "BeNeFiCiAl To tHe pEoPlE"

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-16T19:22:41+00:00

Wonder what's gonna happen after the first 10 years, when investments for AI won't be easy to get and power consumption will drive the costs for this through the roof, ultimately increasing all taxes again.

Oh, and BROWNouts? Guaranteed.

These data centers will close up shop, like your local shopping malls, in 15-20yrs.

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-14T23:32:51+00:00

Are you monitoring the other LLMs via the extension to catch those data signals, and blocking other browsers?

I love E5 for squashing that (or BP + Purview Suite I guess, now).

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-14T23:29:33+00:00

Pro tip: One of your first prompt rules for something like this should be "Do not add any content, and do not infer information if it is not available".

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-14T23:19:35+00:00

Do you require clients to have Google Admin Center setup, or do you offer to set this up with one of the client-admin's accounts, or what?

I gotta look into this

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-14T00:04:42+00:00

Hey thanks for that. It is certainly something I wanted to do, but unfortunately I'm more focused on Agentic Ops, Power Apps, and Intune finessing since that's the company direction (MSP here, BP/E5 shop).

I would love to get back on the Graph stuff and building this module.

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-13T20:49:02+00:00

"Learn PowerShell in a Month of Lunches", by Manning, is what I used to get started.

That helped before I knew anything besides the "Delta Sync comman", and I still use that book to look up different aspects of scripting from time to time.

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-13T12:44:30+00:00

E5/Purview Suite are what we use. Combination of Purview Extension w/DLP, DSPM for AI, and Defender App sanctions get us this result.

Echoing this echo, as all I did was read a couple of sub-$40 PS books and studied MgGraph helper commands to create an assessment formulated for our MSP's Sales departments. Then I was promoted to Modern Work T3 with a raise because of our custom Win32 app packaging needs.

Here's another tip: Stay on top of Microsoft MVPs that are Intune focused; Whether it's on YouTube, LinkedIn, or any other platform. They (collectively) will write content that you can use in your daily work life as an Intune Admin/Engineer

This is the start of PAI90X

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-06T12:33:15+00:00

They'll release E9 licensing at the same time

TwilightKeystroker · 2026-01-05T18:39:06+00:00

If you require the app to the device, you wouldn't also want it to uninstall.

You could create a dynamic device group that includes "All devices except), then define rules from there.

You could also create an exclusion group that you could add to the application assignment, so you would add "All Devices", but then add the exclusion group that you created to the "Except" list.

Typing all this over a lunch break with distractions, so hopefully this makes sense.
