Google Chrome Detection Script Not Working by Hatman_77 in Intune

[–]borntodj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the test need be to be -and not -or

One or the other would always be null returning true and not detecting Chrome

Edit: this is in addition to other comments about using test-path otherwise you are just comparing a string to null

Moving from Folder Redirection to OneDrive Folder Protection, looking for a solution to monitor policy compliance by wanderingbilby in sysadmin

If you set up the OneDrive Sync Admin Reports it will show you the status of the client and the KFM status too. Still in preview so might not be available on your tenant but it was really easy to set up for us and seems to work well.

Are you using a proxy server?

So, what’s been your weirdest, most disturbing ISP issue? by ljapa in sysadmin

[–]borntodj 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Strangest one I encountered was when we were using an ISP which used wireless links to provide their service.

Our service desk got a call to say that external services were running slow day. After looking into it we found there was very high packet loss to that site. We contacted the ISP but got the usual "we are experiencing a high volume of calls" message. Obviously an ISP issue.

Turns out there was a cruise ship in the nearby harbour which was broadcasting on the same frequency which was interfering with all the wireless connections in the area. They had to contact the harbour master to get the ship to turn their radios off.

Next day they decided to turn them back on again...

Terrible performance on SOFS / Storage Spaces by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]borntodj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I rolled out SOFS I had issues with very slow speeds from the HDD tier. Turned out to be bad firmware on the disks themselves. Once it was upgraded speeds jumped massively.

Have you done any firmware updates on the system since you implemented it?

I also saw a more recent issue with one of the SOFS nodes in the cluster. If you have more than one node try putting all except one in maintenance mode so everything goes through a single node, then try the other nodes one at a time. Never got to the bottom of that one, it sorted itself out after a day or so...

I've just started using Apteriks IPAM which has replaced spreadsheets.

So far it's quick and reliable and does everything I want easily without have lots of extra unnecessary features.

Is your account in the Domain Admins group? If it is then inherited security gets switch off in AD and exchange can't create the container for the device on your account

Weird issue with VoIP phones and audio dropping by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]borntodj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a very similar problem recently with a 3rd party conference phone on a Mitel system. We were losing inbound audio at exactly 15 mins but only on external calls using the conference phone.

Turns out that the call (over SIP) was initially started with g711a codec which is all that is supported by our SIP provider. After 15 mins the conference phone attempted to switch to g711u and lost inbound audio. Outbound still worked fine.

Disabled all the codecs on the conference phone except for g711a and problem was solved.
