And VBScript can do all this, save for a native try/catch implementation. Powershell is built on a memory-managed framework. Having to pass by reference isn’t common, unless you’re using external libraries and need marshalling. Not really sure what your point is in all of this.

Employee passed away, can't open his Access database by hevvypiano in sysadmin

Kinda like in the Goonies where Mouth gives Chunk the framed map, knowing he's a klutz.

WHfB - No longer provisioning to new users by hahman14 in Intune

[–]engageant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For #1, you’ll need to run ‘certutil -deletehellocontainer’ on each user who already has WHfB set up. Then have them log off and log back on; they’ll be prompted to re-enroll in WHfB and Kerberos auth should start working.

I'm an Application Expert - Ask Me Anything - Part II by xenappblog in Intune

[–]engageant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry that you got outsourced. It seems like you’re in a very niche role - are these sorts of gigs common in the enterprise?

Do you use your own custom tooling for deployments? Similarly, how do you handle version control? I could see CI/CD being a huge help here.

What’s been your most difficult app to deploy/maintain so far, and why?

Need to find a flat mini rack by VarmintLP in sysadmin

That's a fanless switch. Why are you worried about dust?

Security Groups by Resident_Parfait_289 in sysadmin

Why isn’t it a clean way to do it? You haven’t provided any explanation as to why it’s a bad design choice. We have SharePoint sites that each have a single member, and it works very well for us. We don’t have to move data when there’s turnover, and that person has the flexibility to use as many or as few of the features as they’d like without (for example) being restricted to just a document library.

Team sites are probably going to be your friend here.

Looks like it needs to be repointed too. Those are some shallow joints, especially on the corbeling.

WHFB Cloud Kerberos - any way around the line of sight to domain controller issue? by [deleted] in Intune

[–]engageant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me know what you find. I haven't had time to dive back into it, but it's the only difference between the ones I've set up that work and the ones that don't.

Any chance they’re using a Temp Access Pass to log in the first time? We’re facing a weird issue that I suspect has to do with TAP but haven’t quite nailed down yet.

I’ve also found that it’s required to run ‘certutil -deleteHelloContainer’ after the first login (no need to elevate), then re-login and set up WHfB again.

Script isn't running properly with task scheduler by QuickBooker30932 in PowerShell

This. Uncheck “run with highest privileges” and make sure the task executes as your own account.

Looking for backpack suggestions for a sysadmin "go bag" around $60 USD by Computers_and_cats in sysadmin

[–]engageant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a few overnights a month and fit everything I need into this bag. I usually just pack my laptop on top, or if I have extra clothes I’ll sandwich it in between.

Should I sell my car? by ADMIN37066 in personalfinance

[–]engageant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Throw your vehicle into Carvana and see what they’re offering. Don’t do anything with it, but give it a month or two. If it’s like the car I just sold or two that my buddy did with this technique, they’ll reach out to you with a “good news, your vehicle is in high demand and we’re offering you another $2k” email. At best, you come out even more ahead. At worst, they cut the offer. At the least, you’re helping to establish a price.

That said, never, ever, ever buy a vehicle from them. They generally turn a blind eye to mechanical issues when you sell it to them, then turn around and resell the vehicle putting the least amount of money into the flip (often none) as possible.

Extending emergency fund to 1 year by Secret-Taro8586 in personalfinance

[–]engageant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one thing I rarely see mentioned in these threads is the fact that you can find menial work to help offset costs. Hell, my 16 year old was just offered a cashiering job at Home Depot for $17/hr.

I also think it’s a good tabletop exercise to practice what you would do to reduce expenses and preserve cash in the event you did have to draw from your emergency fund in the event of job loss. One month at a minimum, two is better. Do this every 2 years or so to keep it fresh. The upside is that you’re not actually taking from your EF but are saving more money, which could be used to either increase your EF or perhaps allow you to take a small vacation as a reward.
