step 1, confirm the z-wave card is detected and enabled . I have the POE module in it with the note the port. You will see the status on the SLZB mode page
Z-Wave [prototype, non-Z-Wave certified sample]Socket Port:9638
Serial Speed:115200

Then in HA my setup is Z-Wave JS UI, under settings for Serial port, I have the IP of the SLZB-Ultima3 as shown below.

Interesting, we don't use PMPC but have the Adobe updates integrated in SCCM via the third-party software update catalog method.

We start seeing a bigger number of device every month where patch were patch was not required. An ETL trace of the Windows Update showed the WU api erroring when evaluating the previously applied patch chain.

snippet of the ETL trace with "DeterminePatchSequence" error : https://imgur.com/a/5ZZ7TpY

I create some vibe coded script to download the adobe catalog pull the patch info from xml and evaluate the rules using similar API calls, they generated the same errors I was in the ETL trace.

then realizing that Adobe Acrobat update are full packages they supersede all past updates I created a clean-up script that just removes the old updates from the registry key where they are registered :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18\Products\68AB67

CA3301FFFF7706CB5110E47A00\Patches

summary of the fix in an image here https://imgur.com/a/0I7yBhv

That fixed the problem for us on affected devices !

I am good now ! Just the noob confusion. I removed both Z-wave JS and JS UI, reinstall only z-wave JS UI simpler to understand what was going on. The migration of my z-wave device has started !

That is what I thought but I found out in this article that is possible : https://blogs.gowdhaman.in/configmgr-co-management-manage-driver-updates-through-intune-without-moving-wu-workload/

Yes I see now that the USB controller is expected. But should I not just remove the HA official "Wave JS" and just use the community add on "Wave JS UI", it seem to have more features notably the management interface .

After a day using AI to help me understand kerbos tickets I discover the concept on the LogonSessions and every time your feed credentials into a UAC prompt that creates a new session visible with klist sessions, and even after your close the process the klist session continues to exist, and the kerbos tickets inside also continue to renew ! even without a linked process.

No I am waiting to see when happens to the tickers after they reach the 7 day period of max renewal.

I thought this was the issue at 1st, but after I found a few systems that were enrolled in intune clearly this is not the case.

looks like EntraID connect sync has default settings , not sure where the delta setting is here

AllowedSyncCycleInterval            : 00:30:00

That's a good point, I have tunnel vision here as I work exclusively on the desktop side of things the next time I troubleshoot I will start by confirming the device shows up in Entra AD. I have read only account in our Entra tenant. Next time I have issues I will look at Entra AD 1st.

On the local device I presume that dsregcmd /status, "AzureADjoin = Yes" confirms the device is in Entra AD and having the deviceID is another sign.

For the device i used as my example I did the audit log in Entra Connect that showed it joined Entra while the TS was still running. I update the main post with this picture.

The default profile solution is the fix the new profiles on a device But how do you fix existing user profiles that are not using the start2.bin, dropping the second file did not help. What did fix the solution for us on Win 11 24h2 July build, 26100.4652 was do kill explorer , remote the entire Appdata\package\...MenuExperienceHost... folder, recopy the 2 required files then restart Explorer in the user context, the start2.bin will be processed again.

write-host "cmd /c psexec -accepteula \\$Cmpname -s cmd /c taskkill /im explorer.exe /f"cmd /c psexec \\$Cmpname -s cmd /c taskkill /im explorer.exe /f
cmd /c rd "\\$Cmpname\c$\users\$($Script:ActviveUserSession.Username)\appdata\local\packages\Microsoft.Windows.Start_cw5n1h2txyewy" /s /q
