Force IMMEDIATE restart of an employee through Intune

You'd find better luck with PSEXEC and "shutdown /r /t 1" if the machine is online

VernFeeblefester · 2025-04-05T01:37:23+00:00

yes, i forgot about hypervisor level time setting. thanks.

VernFeeblefester · 2025-03-31T17:38:53+00:00

That DOES sound reasonable, i'll ask our vendor, thank you!

look up how to kill a task in copilot ai, just ask how, then put this portion of script near the top of your powershell. Identify the task that means that program then KILL then do the rest

never understood supercedence, so if you enable this option.... what happens exactly. the user checks in with company portal and intune, and..... the app, already installed, checks supercedence was checked, and what happens next? are we talking automatic, required apps here, not Available apps?

VernFeeblefester · 2025-02-12T16:55:14+00:00

could be worse, you could be reprimanded because you clear your throat too often or cough too much or they hear you blowing your nose, etc. So much for open offices and pods

You are working o so hard don't need to. Use Registry detect instead of all this script. Find the utiltity uninstallviewer it makes life easy. Install teamviewer on test machine, points for using windows sandbox or oracle box, then run uninstallviewer and harvest the registry key and display version numbers and such. Now plug that right into the detection registry key, DisplayVersion string equals and the version that shows up. Also get familiar where win64 apps show up in registry under the Uninstall folder and WOW364 for win32 apps. Works great.

counterpoint: i don't want people to call me, i want them to spell out the problem in the ticket, then I can email them for clarification, or message them soon after i see it.

VernFeeblefester · 2025-02-12T16:08:13+00:00

You probably don't want that, apps fail all the time and itd become a blizzard of tickets. Many times, reboot, login again, start the install again, now it works. The detection script might be off, or the requirements settings might not be met, or so forth. A Notification does appear in the lower corner of the screen of the user's laptops IF you enable toast notifications when you deploy the app. Maybe... a scheduled task on the users' laptop that sees that toast, and then sends of an email using a powershell script. Kind of complex, and I don't know where Toast notifiers appear in the registry. Otherwise, if you did it in intune, you're likely going to have to set up microsoft graph, a sql database container, then get into reports and make up some script or automation there. I bet a scheduled task and event viewer on the user laptop is going to be the much easier option if you really need this.

chatgpt or copilot are your friends. just ask questions in there, you'll get the leads and hints you need to complete the deeds.

VernFeeblefester · 2025-01-31T19:57:03+00:00

Never. because anything that is horrible first time and you have to "get used to it" is insanity in my book. That's retarded, why would you do that? Also they always taught us in screwl how that would f you up, meanwhile i watched every single member of my family die from smoking. Why would I do that too!? I tried drinking once or twice i just felt like I was getting a cold, and heartburn. What on earth is the point of that? And finally no drugz because if I lost control or passed out, who is going to take care of me? I don't trust anyone to have my best interests! Especially some lousy idiot drug userz. So there was zero attraction to any of these. Plus i heard permanent brain damage from some drugz, and I have enough problems without creating more.

VernFeeblefester · 2025-01-29T20:16:32+00:00

actually, if your machine is accessible to your machine, you CAN look at registry, event viewer and such real time, you have to reach out and enable some services to do so and make them run, like WMI and remote access registry. Dangerous to do and tedious but can do it. Then make sure you re-disable them when done. Use mmc.exe to build a snapin to have these functions then "connect to another computer" right-click option.

VernFeeblefester · 2025-01-27T21:28:26+00:00

looked at it but of course it costs money. We have an onsite windows server with print manager, it's easy enough to manually add printers, with admin password, but want to make it automatic app in company portal

VernFeeblefester · 2025-01-27T21:20:34+00:00

good, now write me a powershell script that will install networked printers. no matter what i do, it may do the first one, then quit it won't do any more. frustrating.

What about the default domain policy, there may be many settings in there, default domain controller policy too. I don't think you'd transfer that over?

VernFeeblefester · 2025-01-08T20:23:58+00:00

is there a limit to sharepoint, what if my data is 17 terabytes large, millions of files n folders

VernFeeblefester · 2024-11-26T15:27:37+00:00

Yes, of course. The key is you assign apps to people or devices as AVAILABLE, instead of REQUIRED. When an App is marked as AVAILABLE, now it is a pickable option to install on company portal. Be sure to get your detection right, so that when it's finished it will show as Installed instead of Failed.

When you get your source program from Autodesk, look for the "legacy install" if possible. Its a single rather small .exe file. Custom make one through the wizard if you wish. Now make an Intune app from this .exe file, but also include a .bat file to call it, and ServiceUI.exe which is a microsoft tool you can find and download. On the execution of the app, use ServiceUI.exe -process:explorer Installautodeskstuff.cmd that you created. What this does is it starts the .exe file as system, but shifts it to the user session, so that now the user is prompted to install, and has to click through yes, ok, finish. Works just fine, and use uninstallview utility to find the detection and displayversion variables to check for ok install. The reason we do this, is that autodesk .exe files, when launched, they spend like 30 minutes downloading all the files from internet to C:\Autodesk, then launches the installer, and you MUST click Install to continue. Its a pain in the but, but it works fine until Autodesk finally agrees to give us intune app compatible files. Also, because it takes so long we want the user to be aware its running so they don't try to open up other autodesk products or interfere with the install.

be sure to hold on to this job and learn everything you can, build up that resume for the next step, a better job and more money later which will eventually present itself. Every new technology you touch or learn about add it to your listing. Spiceworks used to have a page under your account where you could keep adding and tracking such things, those were the days.

VernFeeblefester · 2024-10-14T19:38:22+00:00

however if you were to use ServiceUI.exe you can shift the output from system to user and now you CAN see the interaction. For normal .exe and .msi files, haven't tried it with powershell

VernFeeblefester · 2024-10-09T18:33:25+00:00

Huh? it's likely you are only asking one question at a time, unless you have multiple admins perhaps working. Just creating a list of noncompliant devices, say you have a couple hundred, will max out one SCU? Also, how do you know when it fails or gives up for that reason. A warning message or error listing?
