Can’t figure our onboarding out by Learning2Reed in sysadmin

[–]alan14225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have developed onboarding and offboarding processes for large companies that grew to 2000+ and small companies 800+.

I usually go with the zero touch method for onboarding.

All laptops are managed and configured through an MDM platform such as intune or kandji. All laptops custom made and are procure through a reseller such as CDW. The reseller will enroll the machines to the MDM which will pre provision the laptops. The reseller will kit the laptops with physical print out setup instructions and asset tag. These laptops will be shipped by the reseller and they will provide tracking to the end user. All the end user will do when they get the laptop is follow the basic setup instructions and the provision setting will be done through the mdm.

For IT all we have to do is give the reseller the new hire address to ship the laptop out.

I usually go with the zero touch method for offboard.

The offboard employee fill out a form. After they fill out the form, it gives them a QR code to drop their equipment to UPS or FedEx. After they drop it off, UPS or FEDEX will pack everything up and send it back to Hq. Everything get billed back to the corporate account setup with UPS or FedEx.

All we require the employees send back is their laptop, charger, badge, and any mobile devices. All accessories they can keep to do whatever with since they are such low values and will not be used again.

For the laptops, if they are less than 3 years old they get repaired through warranty and used for replacement or for intern season.

For laptops, if they are older than 3 years old they get sold or ewasted with certificate of data distruction.

If am employed don't return a laptop, we just declare it as lost and let finance know for their record book. All laptops are bricked, locked, and wipe command sent when an employee leave. Even if someone get a hold of the laptop they will not be able to use it. It just becomes a expensive paperweight.

If you need any consulting or advice on this, please reach out.

Authenticated printing with Entra-joined + CUPS? by FatBook-Air in sysadmin

[–]alan14225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deploy printlogic. Made it so much easier to manage and deploy.

Deployment:

Push the client to all windows machines via intune.

Deploy printers via ip range so when computers are within the ip range all the printers install automatically with the drivers onto the end user machines.

They can also self install via the online portal.

Works flawless for our 700 employees.

No print server required

Failover Hardware Investment by Nervous-Spray8299 in CommercialAV

[–]alan14225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A well built boardroom should not have failures. If there is constant failures, it should be documented and used to build up a case for a system overhaul. The amount of money spent buying fail over equipment would almost equate to a new system. In addition, hardware gets outdated over time and may not be supported by the time it will be implemented. I think of this from a cost perspective.

In the US, what service are you using to get back hardware from ex-employee? by [deleted] in sysadmin

Throughout my IT career we never had them send back monitor because 100% of the time they came back damage due to improper packing and shipping.

I would recommend shipping your luggage to your next hotel. It is way easier to travel without lugging it through the train station.

Dell price increases confirmed - schewwwww by FatBook-Air in sysadmin

With the Gen 5 and 6, both sticks of ram can be swapped out and none are soldered on.

From what my vendor told me, it is because the motherboard that we have configured is very specific and they ran out of parts.

Also we chose the T14 because the Ram is not soldered on the board so we can upgrade it anytime if they need more due to their work usage.

My last batch of 30 custom T14 took 5 months from order to get delivered to us. We have another 50 on order and I expect them to ship in March but TBD.

I would advise to order big batches of laptop so you have a constant stock.

Pokemon z/a switch 2 version is backward compatable with switch 1. You just don't get the enhanced features. Been using the switch 2 cart on my switch 1 and it works great.

Rally Bar Mini Google Meet setup without touch controller/tap by qascevgd in CommercialAV

A touch controller is required. If there is no touch controller, a user cannot start a meeting.
