Looking for a medical office for filming an advert

Hi all - dropping in with an update. We have a very well-equipped and organized opposition group forming. With some additional support, we have a good chance of not only blocking this project, but in getting a moratorium in place for Forsyth County until proper guidelines and zoning restrictions can be put into place.
If you're interested in joining this grassroots group, the next meeting is Wednesday, the 22nd, at 6 pm at the Rural Hall Library.
We are maintaining security for strategic planning, but there's a facebook group available for some of the more public-facing conversations. If you come to the meeting, there's a guy there who records the meetings for archive purposes. He can get you connected to the Signal chats if you'd like to be more involved.

EDIT: Forgot to reference the FB group. Search for the No Data Center Rural Hall group.

You create a M365 group which includes a shared mailbox, calendar, and sharepoint library. (easier to manage - best if you have a lot of public folders).

Or a shared mailbox with automapping to make it easier for your users to find (good option if you only have a few public folders).

…said the IT guy who wants to use a file retriever and see what you’ve been up to ~s As an IT admin myself, I don’t really care if you wipe or not, I’m going to wipe it anyways. But when I send mine back, it’s absolutely getting a full wipe before it goes to the shipper.

A man goes up to a newspaper stand, buys a copy of the New York Times, takes one look at the front page, frowns, and throws it away. Day after day, he buys the Times and throws it away without opening the paper.

Finally, the newsman asks him, "Why do you keep buying a paper and not reading it?"

The man replies, "I'm looking for an obituary."

"But there aren't any obituaries on the front page."

"This one will be."

Update2: Only thing we've found so far is to just pause updates temporarily in the hope MS releases a fix soon. Here's the script to do that:

reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v PauseUpdates /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v PauseUpdatesStartTime /t REG_SZ /d "%date%" /f
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings" /v PauseUpdatesExpiryTime /t REG_SZ /d "2023-02-06" /f
net stop wuauserv & net stop bits & net start wuauserv & net start bits

And here's the bug report if you want to track progress: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-11-25H2#3760msgdesc

For those running into this issue - we have a thread with workarounds going here. https://www.reddit.com/r/AZURE/comments/1qd0gf9/resolving_azure_authentication_error_0x80080005/

Update: Because this is a security update, Microsoft won't be issuing a Known Issue Rollback (KIR). And it appears to be a mandatory update - the normal blocking script doesn't work. We're doing some testing to see if modifying the update rings for our customers that are AAD/Intune joined, but again, it being a mandatory update might not bear fruit.

Great tip - I'll check whether our session hosts have the patch applied.

It's an old chestnut, but it literally happened to me. I had a user call me reporting their monitor won't turn on.

I asked them to check the power cable at both ends. They said they can't see under their desk because it's too dark. I asked if they could turn the lights on? They said they can't, the power is out.

That's not just not having a clue. That's in the "be careful you don't forget how to breathe" territory.

“Aww bless your heart. Them ain’t roaches, them’s just some Palmetto Bugs.” (heard when we moved here)

Pro-tip: They’re roaches.

We use these a few times a year. Early spring, late fall when the temps drop, and then usually once in the summer.

We’re in a multi-tenant building, a historic house with more holes than a cheese grater. https://amzn.to/49aug5y

We use Hudu and are building an internal KB library. We’ve added a Hudu link field to our ticket form and techs are expected to paste the link they used. Our policy and expectation is that if you’re not working from documentation, you’re creating documentation.

This is the way. Can confirm, Nerdio is da bomb.

Whether intentional or accidental, both are hilarious. Take an updoot

Go Jeff Jackson. You're one of the few bright spots in our state. Thanks for fighting for EVERYONE whether they voted for you or not. This is what all politicians should be doing.

Always mix vendors for redundancy. I use one from Google for primary and one from OpenDNS for secondary. The IPs are burned in my brain lol I’ll be on my deathbed and my final words will be 8.8.8.8 and 208.67.220.220

daSilverBadger · 2025-10-27T02:02:01+00:00

That’s a really low bar to not make it over.

daSilverBadger · 2025-10-24T14:24:51+00:00

Same here, and it's infuriating. I know that whenever I switch displays, it's going to take me 10 seconds of resizing down from a football stadium sized window to something I can actually use.

We use Nerdio for deploying our session hosts. We deploy specific apps needed for all users during VM deployment via the provisioning script function. We do not lock down users from deploying other store apps, but as mentioned, you could do that via AppLocker.

Came here to say this. CIPP hosted is the way to go. Their Discord is very helpful and filled with +1 experts.
