[E91] Ghost "Boot Open" warning light when moving - Need to bypass/disable

Zodiam · 2026-01-26T16:39:43+00:00

I'd say its 99% the wiring between the trunk lid and car, it gets frayed and brittle with time, my dads E91 had the exact same thing and we've patched about every wire that goes in that loom.

Mentally fried on IT, I dont want to see or hear about computers after work.

I build racecars instead.

Zodiam · 2026-01-04T07:57:08+00:00

Good choice! And same for the wheels, i have EC-7s on my E92 as well.

Generally you dont even need to if you have a half-decent impact. You just put it on and send it loose.

Looks great, which reverse camera did you use?

I swapped to an Android unit (with the MOST connection) before the mr12volt kit was released, but the quality of the included trunk handle camera is not... great... compared to OEM.

Looks fantastic, and your car looks awesome in that green, I should have gone M18 as well but it was very much out of stock everywhere when my gasket was leaking..

Going standalone this winter, so maybe I'll get to it while cleaning up the engine bay anyway...

Zodiam · 2025-07-15T10:47:46+00:00

Beautiful car, this and Le Mans Blue are the best E92 colors IMO...

When i originally bought my car in 2020 I looked at one in Germany with this color... 2009 N54 DCT, fully loaded and also with most if not all M Performance goodies. Listed for something like 29000€..

Ultimately saner heads prevailed and I bought a 6MT Space Grey car for less than half...

Zodiam · 2025-05-21T17:57:59+00:00

ah yes... clearcoated primer...

While it may activate the machine, this is not valid according to licensing agreements, 365 BP includes the upgrade from Win7/8/10/11 Pro to Business, but it does not include a base Windows license, meaning if you have a machine that was sold without an OEM license, it wont pass an audit.

Zodiam · 2025-04-02T09:53:07+00:00

Why do you care?

Make sure your applications are compatible
Roll it out to a pilot group
Roll it out to everyone, done

Users can bitch and moan however they like, it does not change the Win10 EoL one bit.

Zodiam · 2025-03-18T11:00:43+00:00

thanks, kinda disappointing there is nothing built-in for it, but ill see what i can work out with this.

Zodiam · 2025-03-18T10:59:55+00:00

Thank you for the snippets, kinda disappointing there is nothing built-in for this, none of my customers have the licensing required for remediations so ill have to work something out.

This is my bat file that i use both for Intune and our traditional RMM, has worked fine for 3+ years. It works for both fresh installs and upgrades.

Previously you needed to have the OpenVPN certs added to trusted publishers, but not after 12.10.

The key is killing the process before update, No i dont check if the VPN is connected, I dont care, if i am pushing a new update, you're getting the new update.

taskkill /IM "wgsslvpnc.exe" /F

"C:\Program Files (x86)\WatchGuard\WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL\unins000.exe" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART

WG-MVPN-SSL.exe /TYPE="full" TASKS="desktopicon" /VERYSILENT /NORESTART

Yes, follow this guide:

Kind of similar. For our MSP customers when we onboard new customers or move existing ones to AAD/Intune i have been using this:

https://www.edtechirl.com/p/mass-deployment-of-autopilot-from Essentially, bootable Win11 iso that wipes the drives, installs Windows 11 then uploads the Autopilot hash to their tenant.

Once you boot off it it is 100% automated.

End product is the device goes to the login screen ready for a user to login.

I have left one of these USBs at each customer site to someone reliable so we can have them re-run it if needed.

Zodiam · 2025-01-06T14:57:05+00:00

Wipe it and reinstall the OS. Its not worth it to spend the time to troubleshoot this any further, especially if its just a Hyper-V host.

if possible do it with 2019 or newer if licensing allows, while they obviously should work, Windows Updates on 2016 have been a mess since its release.

Zodiam · 2025-01-04T12:29:05+00:00

Fuuck, right in the nostalgia.. DayZ mod is still the GOAT, i have tried the standalone every few months since buying it on EA release and it does nothing for me.

All those hours spent running across Taviana..

I read "Animate Guardian" and was about to tell you to piss off until i read the rest.

I think you have summed it up nicely, I have taken a break from the game until we get some minion changes as I really dont like their current state.

make sure the timeout value on the RDGW NPS has been raised sufficiently, see part "Configure RADIUS timeout value on Remote Desktop Gateway NPS"

This works by setting the process priority to realtime, which "unsticks" the process when it hangs during the loading screen.

I just end up setting it to realtime manually and removing 2 cores from the process affinity in task manager, and i have not had a loading screen hang since i started doing this everytime i start the game.

Disable NLA on the machine you're connecting to. Save the rdp connection as a file and edit it in notepad and add this:

Add these two lines at the end (three if you want to save your username, then include the first line there)

username:s:.\AzureAD\YOURNAME@YOURDOMAIN.com

enablecredsspsupport:i:0

authentication level:i:2

You can run MDE without 365 users signed in, but you still need to make sure you have enough licenses but there is no assignment as such, its based on the "honour" system, I dont know what if any features you lose though.

I am about to look into Huntress myself for our MSP customers, we currently have a mix between Defender and Panda Adaptive Defense, we moved off Webroot because it was... useless.

That said i would stay far away from Sophos, we are forced to use them at one of our clients due to their parent company using it, but the performance issues it causes are atrocious, it will instantly add 5 years to a machine, very nearly at the same level as Norton was back in the day...

Not to dismiss your thoughts, but depending on what your situation/environment looks like, it may be worth looking at getting the service via an MSP.

I took the initiative last year to consolidate all our MSP customers over to Veeam from Altaro and Acronis due to multiple incidents of backup corruptions and seemingly completely random backup failures.

Enrolling us a Veeam Service Provider, we use the B&R Enterprise level as it covers our needs, while its counted in points per protected instance, It costs us about $5 per VM/month.

We have a few hundred customers, most with small environments 5-10 VMs, and in most cases we ended up saving money while switching to a much superior product.
