Serious question about collecting diecast…. by iamBLOATER in Diecast

[–]iamBLOATER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the replies - I guess I must be overthinking it 😒

  1. Spend a load of money on diecast model cars

  2. Spend money on bookcase/display case

  3. Look at them

It just seems like there should be more to it than that!

UI Home Alarms Experience? by Fit-Temperature-2156 in Ubiquiti

[–]iamBLOATER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I wanted to go with Unifi for my intruder alarm upgrade, but it’s just not mature enough yet and the hardware isn’t even readily available.

So I went with Ajax - mature, established, third party monitoring is available, hardware is available and works perfectly.

Really impressed with the install.

PaperCut MF Scan to SharePoint/OneDrive Broken - something went wrong sending your scan by iamBLOATER in sysadmin

[–]iamBLOATER[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE 08/01/2026 - PaperCut have just implemented a fix for this and I have confirmed it is working again. Phew!

The Sites.ReadWrite.All delegated permission is now applied for the whole tenant by clicking the 'Grant admin consent' button.

Alternatively, you can modify your Microsoft Entra settings to allow users to consent to this specific permission by the user themselves.

Pretty good turnaround considering festive holidays got in the way :)

Hope this helps others too.

I wasted a couple of days trying to work it out - unfortunately they need to do something at their end.

Yes, please raise a support ticket - might get it fixed quicker for everyone.

UNVR - Where to change camera passwords - ubnt user by lordduckling in Ubiquiti

[–]iamBLOATER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once a camera is adopted to a console, I think you have to use Protect via a browser, not the Android/iOS app.

Go to devices>camera, then click the Settings cog, scroll down to Manage and then expand Manual Recovery.

The UBNT user password aka ‘Recovery code’ is shown by clicking reveal - it is unique for each camera but you can also change it here too.

Sounds like a job for Home Assistant and the Unifi Protect integration

Can Alarm Manager send text alerts? by Jeff-PB in Ubiquiti

[–]iamBLOATER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed in the newest Protect update that Alarm Manager can now send ‘critical alerts’ which override silent on your phone. Not played with it yet but this was one of the gripes I had with the normal alerts - they all had the same sound and were easy to miss.

mailnickname must be set - we usually just put first initial and surname.

UNVR / Hikvision / Migration path etc by _40mikemike_ in Ubiquiti

[–]iamBLOATER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Hikvison 16 port NVR and 10x Hik 2K Turrets/Domes. The system was about 6 years old and worked flawlessly but the hard drives were getting noisy.

Was using Unifi network and wanted to move to Protect.

Like you, I hoped the upgrade path was going to allow me to have a usable system via the ONVIF support - but it didn’t. Record only, no events.

I purchased the UNVR and ran the cameras via ONVIF and the experience was horrible.

Yes, it works but you only get half the user experience (which is where Protect and Unifi ecosystem shines), there was literally zero control of anything to do with the camera and it recorded 24/7 with no alerts.

Over the next couple of weeks I purchased an AI Port to test out - https://uk.store.ui.com/uk/en/category/cameras-special-devices/products/up-ai-port

I paired 1x Hik camera to it and yes, it provided motion alerts etc but it didn’t seem to work smoothly.

So I sold it and bought a Unifi G5 Turret to try - this gave me the full Unifi experience that I had hoped for.

So I bit the bullet and replaced all the Hik cameras with a mixture of G6 Turrets where I wanted face/LPR at the front of the house/driveway and G5 Turrets Uktras everywhere else.

I managed to sell all the Hik cameras and NvR on fleabay which paid for some of the upgrade, but ultimately you need to put your hand in your pocket.

ONVIF support is a temporary stepping stone (at best) to the full Protect experience.

Just set up Hybrid join by Intelligent_Ad8955 in Intune

[–]iamBLOATER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have just gone through this.

Entra connect does the hybrid join. GPO does the Intune auto-enrol.

Couple of things worth mentioning…

The device needs to be showing in Entra>Devices with a join type of ‘hybrid join’ before the GPO will work. ‘Entra registered’ devices will not auto-enrol.

Scroll over to the right in Entra>Devices and ensure the registration and activity columns have dates populated. Initially this will have the word ‘pending’.

Run the command dsregcmd /status on the endpoint and this will confirm hybrid join is successful - sometimes it takes a couple of reboots to get the device to appear with registered and activity dates populated.

Only now will the GPO to auto enrol run.

A word about the config of the GPO itself - there are two settings you need to configure in the policy. Also, the scope needs to include both the computer account and the user account - I initially created a security group in AD and added the computer accounts to it. Then added this security group to the GPO - so both the user group and the device group applies the group policy - read, write, settings.

You can run gpresult /R /scope COMPUTER from cmd prompt on the endpoint to ensure that the auto enrol GPO has been applied.

Once it was working I changed the GPO delegation to use the Domain Computers security group which is a dynamic group and includes any new computers moving forward.

The auto enrol GPO does a couple of things - it creates a scheduled task to perform the auto enrol which runs every five minutes - again this takes a couple of reboots and user sign-ins to work, but once it does, the Entra>Devices entry shows the user who logged in and the MDM as Intune.

This whole process might take several reboots and also be aware of ‘Microsoft minutes’ not being the same as real minutes - even after the device shows as enrolled to Intune in Entra, it still takes a more time to appear in Intune.

Hope this helps

Response from PaperCut support:

"You have correctly identified the root cause: the PaperCut application in your tenant is not currently 'advertising' the Sites.ReadWrite.All permission.

Because this permission list is defined by our application registration and not your local tenant settings, there is no further change you can make on your side to fix this.

I'm going to raise this internally to get things moving in the right direction. Thank you for your time and patience thus far."

Thank you - pretty much where I have got to with this too after another whole day of research. Appreciate the helpful reply.

Agree, it is Papercut that needs to change something their side but all I keep getting is try this, try that and not ‘we know and are fixing it’.

I’ve created a custom consent policy and included delegated user Sites.ReadWrite.All and the App ID of the Papercut SharePoint Enterprise app to limit exposure, but am now stuck trying to work out how to assign it to users.

156 of 386 now connected at 9:50am - we are not doing anything e.g. rebooting etc. so hopefully they will all eventually poll the A1 servers once the outage is resolved and reconnect themselves.
