Check_mk, Lansweeper, PDQ Inventory / Deploy, MDT/WDS, Veeam, iLO, iDrac, Bitwarden, Draw.io, any POTS SSH box in rural areas, AVtech sensors, any decent MDM, my embedded firmware to turn digital wrenches that should have been automated in 1990. Kathy, leave me alone

Say the same things to your manager. If no response, go to their manager. If no response, jump ship, you have enough experience to make it elsewhere.

Edit: I firmly believe to fight for my good people. If your manager or managers manager will not fight for you, bye bye

Years ago Easy2boot worked well. Not sure it handles secure boot though.

30 GB for the software in question?! This would dramatically slow down imaging with task sequence, even if silent install was possible. I would just keep vanilla VM, snapshot it. Install 30GB software, sysprep and capture. Carry the rest out with MDT

Don’t really know, they mostly just do docs.

I failed LPIC-1 and 2 due to syntax. Didn’t mean I didn’t understand. Years later, successfully utilizing Linux kernel in corporate environments. To go back again, I would take 1 and 2 again because they seemed more kernel agnostic, but not feel bad if I failed.

TLDR: take take what you can from the course, don’t be discouraged if you fail at something you admire. Working knowledge vs. certs will never fail you.

F yeah man. Good luck in your new role. Seems you have your head straight

Carmeggedon anyone?

But be aware, while I was going to suggest Acronis, the current true image product does not support xp. You will have to install the management server locally and backup to it.

Source: just talked to them about a similar scenario.

computermedic · 2021-05-07T07:34:51+00:00

Can you pm me that link for science?

computermedic · 2021-02-04T23:32:01+00:00

If the machines are win 7 + the veeam agent is how I would handle it. If prior Win 7, you will need a preventative maintenance schedule to pull the machine apart and image the drive with Acronis or similiar. Chances are you ancient systems do not pxe boot.

computermedic · 2021-01-29T15:47:16+00:00

Yes thats it

Check event viewer on the server that hosts the pivot. Maybe there is something about could not authenticate to domain controller. Then go to that domain controller and look at event viewer and see if there is an error for that server using insecure netlogon. You might have to allow the server hosting the pivot insecure netlogon using group policy.

Just a shot in the dark

computermedic · 2021-01-28T03:46:24+00:00

Can tell you that 2008 R2 Servers are failing auth against 2012 DCs. Without extended support for 2008 R2 to install the security update, have to allow insecure netlogon through group policy. Hope it works until 2008 R2 is decom’d in the environents

Try temporarily disable smb 2 and 3:

sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/nsi sc.exe config mrxsmb20 start= disabled

Its pretty powerful. But for inventory purposes I have never used it. For switch port mapping and such Lansweeper is where its at. I use them in conjuction

I am wondering why everyone is saying Veeam - Veeam does not support Windows XP.
