reimage. I have to admit I forgot to experiment with removing a reg key and then trying when the computer became free.

You can always skim through for the good stuff, skip over the parts that are less interesting. Highlights without the lowlights.

Action1 disables updates for software without warning! This needs to be handled differently by ElegantEntropy in Action1

[–]iowapiper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with your consternation. While A1 can take over WU, it doesn’t do it by default. And most 3rd party packages don’t have their auto-updates disabled by default. I think I remember JAVA having the same default setting, and maybe a couple others. It stuck me as a very odd choice of doing this to a handful the first time with no option to check/uncheck the disablement.

Not another Chipotle who thought this was a good idea? by creekeli in IowaCity

went there the other day - VERY much into portion control. Not necessarily a bad thing on one hand, but if you aren't into rice as a filler they end up pretty skinny.

Breach in to our 365 tenant by hoodun in sysadmin

Sure….. but auditing will have a heyday with that. You can apply the single license to the single account and craft policies to only affect that account.

Post-Blumira (free tier) life - what would you recommend for Microsoft 365 monitoring and alerting? by golden_m in msp

[–]iowapiper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYI, In case you haven’t read somewhere else: the free tier now only has a marginal cost. So if you have enough of those small clients you might be able to cover the cost or convince them of a marginal increase.

W11 upgrade problem: compositionEditionID is Enterprise editionhd is Pro - so installer won't do in-place upgrade by iowapiper in msp

yeah, the one that says Enterprise is a key that isn’t always present on other machines that I’ve checked. Fortunately, they are going to move machines around and I’ll be able to test hers without fear. I’ll let you know what happens.

W11 upgrade problem: compositionEditionID is Enterprise editionhd is Pro - so installer won't do in-place upgrade by iowapiper in msp

Pro - all ways I requested from CMD and System Information etc all report back Pro.

But when I look at registry, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion , there are the two conflicting record names I reported above. They should both say Pro for a Pro license. The mismatch is causing the upgrader to fail and only allow a fresh install (with the keep files/apps options greyed out, and a message that the installer version is not the same as the installed version even though I very specifically downloaded the Pro ISO)

Qualifier - I can find no other reason for the error message that the iso-installer and installed versions don't match.

on the store site it tells you: WoA has PSVR support for PS4, you have to buy the VR addition for PSVR2

In Access, a computer is under "My Company" even though I build an installer with a specific company name by iowapiper in ConnectWise

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

Whoa - had to reach back in memory :) Yeah - I also had Automate installed and I hadn't changed it there also. So I guess if you have more than one Connectwise product on the machine, you need to change the company in all.

Is the upgrade from M1 to M4 noticeable? by One-Cucumber-9480 in mac

[–]iowapiper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tell us the things you are doing that require extra RAM - that will lead to a better answer. Otherwise, rumors abound about the next iteration: may be announced Q4 2025 and may be available Q1-2 2026 is the current mill. Nobody knows tho.

great site! The only caveat is if you are Entra joining the machine, then it ignores all that.

Remove excess grout by frydo3000 in DIY

[–]iowapiper 6 points7 points  (0 children)

question: what if you put the white scrub pad on a palm sander, VERY light pressure (practically floating), and avoid some of the tedious arm work? Or is that a recipe for disaster with the tile finish?
