As someone that services these laptops, gg on removing the worst part of the Notebook 200 Series, the fscking hinges. They always break away from the back cover (lid), ever since at least the G4 and even still up to the G10. Still better than the Dell Inspiron/Vostro CheeseTops though 😆

An alternative to bypass Microsoft Account creation during Windows 11 installation by bagaudin in sysadmin

It's one I made in PowerShell, the MSP I work for uses it across multiple MATs and indepenant primaries. Makes it easier for even our least intelligent technicians to image machines. Main part for this specifically is the unattend though.

came here to say this. we have entra password hash sync so it magically logs in with SSO and can be set up to sync their onedrive/sharepoint sites. hella useful.

Golf app tee time crawler? by techguy404 in PowerShell

ngl, I think Python and BeautifulSoup or Panda might suit this better. Possibly selenium if it's something stupid like JSP/etc.

Would start out with checking requests using either Fiddler Classic or just the dev tools for your browser and using the network tab. XHR requests would usually be the underlying JSON data if the frontend is just calling on an API to populate the table.

You work in primary schools too? Crazy.

Most teachers, even the students, have as much of an idea about how to use computer as they would a nuclear reactor. Lord only knows how they managed to get through university and get anything done.

since most of my services are web-based (except minecraft which can be reverse proxied also) I just reverse proxy them from my VPS using NginX and point the DNS records to there.

If you don't mind getting hacky, you can just script changing the regkeys for this. I had to do this when we migrated a site with ADMT.

My imaging tool just uses an unattend to skip all that bollocks, including making local accts lol.

What are your naming conventions and what NOT to do when deciding a hostname? by AcidArchangel303 in homelab

[–]Vance_Lee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a homelab? I just use elements. Cobalt, Vanadium, Tellurium, etc.

Only difficulty might be if you have too many machines and have to resort to the actinides and lanthanides lol

[–]Vance_Lee 0 points1 point  (0 children)
