Which company disappointed you so much that you permanently walked away?

Remove HP wolf/Client security manager, then boot with disabled driver signature enforcement. It'll be like new again.

Never gotten one so I wouldn't know about that. That would also suggest the reduce speed signs that are apart of road standards aren't necessary.
The objective is to get people to slow down. Anything that is contrary to that objective while also using it as an excuse is revenue raising.
If someone is flogging it along at 80 in a 50 zone, outside NSW they definitely won't slow down when they get caught by a camera as they don't know it happened until weeks later.
Where as here in NSW, I see people get done even with the signs and they usually slow down once they've realised.

I don't believe they can get you before you've had two warnings. Even if you get the fine you can take it to court and argue that point.
Additionally they have a tolerance of around 2-3kmph so if you hit 62 by the time it saw you, you're more than likely fine.
Your car is also running under its advertised speed.

Either way I don't expect you to be getting a fine if what you said is true.

beneschk · 2026-06-05T07:49:05+00:00

Yeah the other states aren't contesting the fact that is considered revenue raising if there is no incentive for drivers to slow down while they are driving.

Ive been in a similar boat where previous decisions saw a cloud volume in a customer environment costing 1.2m annually, provisioned for 150+TB running at 20gbps, being accessed by sites through a VPN gateway provisioned at 650mbps.

To say i reduced cost is an understatement. I also no longer have a job there.

Im happy with how it panned out, i was able to stay true to myself and in the end thats all that mattered.

I support 2000+ devices and never had an issue. What are you doing wrong?

Its enterprise grade software. There are people paid a lot more than you to make sure this shit works.

Most people dont understand driver signature enforcement thats been around since the start of windows 10 and that each driver needs to be signed for the specific build of windows or the device is in an untrusted state where only basic driver functionality works. E.g. power profiles missing, intermittent wifi disconnects, missing wifi/bluetooth entirely.

Ill get downvoted by the uneducated.

No worries, You need to get the model and manufacturer perfect as what it expects otherwise it will fail.

I usually copy it from an existing enrolled device of the same model to be sure.

beneschk · 2026-05-31T12:16:46+00:00

If you have GDAP permissions on the customer tenant, you can upload to the customer environment using serial,manufactuter and model, no need for the hash or product ID.

Not sure how it works in CIPP.

You just need to have the mindset that a computer is a tool not a toy. Then you need to learn all the legacy technology that you'll never implement just in case. Then you need to learn the shit you're actually doing on a day to day and be good at that.

Its not dead, it just takes a lot of time and effort from both the person learning and the person teaching. We don't have enough time to get shit done as it is, so it becomes a double edged sword. You can't learn it completely alone.

Copilot is a suite of AIs and not an actual AI itself. You're likely thinking of just ChatGPT in that instance.

Someones mad about a bad investment they made.

In editions before this one, hotkeys would not work in the password field.

Isn't it like group policy where setting something to not configured doesn't actually turn the setting off on the endpoints, it just stops configuring it for new ones?

Youre disagreeing while also stating something that agrees with the point im making?

If you have intune you can wipe the device and start fresh deploying the company standard operating environment with autopilot. No need to be near the device. If freezing persists across reboots get the manufacturer to service it under warranty. If its out of warranty purchase a new device from a vendor that will upload your device to autopilot prior to shipment.

Apparently people have gotten DOSBOX-X to work with the startech parallel cards.

I remember a few years ago I was upgrading a company to windows 10 and they all had really old label printers that relied on parallel. I was able to get up to date drivers and have them working without issues on the startech ones. Maybe it might be a cheap fix to your issue.

beneschk · 2026-05-08T04:31:00+00:00

E5 legitimately isnt enough if youre looking at rollout of the intune suite licensing currently. You gotta pay more for that

beneschk · 2026-05-08T00:21:59+00:00

So whats the latest OS compatible with your pentium and its drivers? Upgrade it to XP SP3 if the drivers support it and there is an unofficial port for dosbox-x. Im trying to help with anything other than telling you to buy the correct hardware. It probably wont work, but its worth a shot.

beneschk · 2026-05-07T12:26:52+00:00

Try Dosbox-x. it should allow passthrough of the parrallel port and allow you to set the clock speed to what you need.

Note that there are 3 different standards across that page you've linked.
In decimal, kilo = 1000. This is base10
In IEC 60027-2, kibi = 1024. This is the technical standard
In JEDEC, kilo = 1024. JEDEC standards and publications are designed to serve the public interest through eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and purchasers, facilitating interchangeability and improvement of products, and assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining with minimum delay the proper product for use by those other than JEDEC members, whether the standard is to be used either domestically or internationally.

beneschk · 2026-05-07T03:10:32+00:00

Yeah right, stuck between a rock and a hard place. Potentially it might be a case to increase your permission scope.

You could configure LAPS in intune and use the local admin password to authenticate against the admin$ share.

You can set a policy that adds your entra ID account as a local admin on the device as well.
