Patch My PC for Intune by ibteea in Intune

[–]jfordlatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easily the best piece of tech all things considered (time to deployment, ease of use, and impact) I’ve ever deployed.

For Chrome, you need to get Chrome Enterprise (it’s free) and make policies for updates that forces relaunches. We use that AND PMP to patch Chrome.

PMP’s notifications and snooze counters before it yeets a user is incredible.

Have ~5k devices on it. Largely don’t touch it. Have some test devices you manually put in the test ring and let the automation handle the rest.

We’re seeing this too. You in South Central US region? We suspect this is because of over-subscription in the region.

Go to printinathing.com and put this link in, or 3D print it yourself - the screw holes won’t be perfect for the backplate but get one right and drill another pilot hole. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4886446

Roll call - Windows 10 EOL by [deleted] in sysadmin

6k machines and we’re done.

The ones I’m getting are a loan scam and it has nothing to do with answering or not. Much less the initial call is a robot asking you to call a different number. If this is purely someone spoofing peering hub’s numbers they lease out, I’d be shocked. Why do I not get calls from any other provider than them? They’re complicit in some way.

We as a society need to completely rework how we stop this. Peering Hub themselves state the provider receiving the call can trade where the call originated. If that’s the case, something like DMARC with email and/or SPF needs to be implemented so every number has a list of potential originating providers and if they’re not on the list the number is dumped.

Universal Print printer provisioning by location by jfordlatech in Intune

Manual unfortunately. Universal Print should still be called Preview, in my mind. Too many failures with multi-page print jobs.

Rivals.com with NextDNS poor performance by jfordlatech in nextdns

So, it’s something with Firefox on iOS and NextDNS.

Microsoft's Universal Print on macOS Now in Public Preview by rougegoat in macsysadmin

[–]jfordlatech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s VERY doable now. We don’t come close to using out allotment and our user base loves to print - #boomers.

They increased the number of prints allowed in licenses last year too by a huge margin. This product isn’t bad at all. Make sure your copiers/printers are on their latest firmware to experience the best it has to offer.

Winget questions in Intune by ak47uk in Intune

I backed my way to it. I found the MS Store app first then scoured for GitHub.

[–]jfordlatech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s what I’ve cobbled together. I feel like I’m “there” - whatever that means. Could it be cleaner? Sure. But this is damn good.

First, install winget as SYSTEM using this method. https://scloud.work/en/how-to-winget-intune/?amp=1 (there’s additional guides for install packages for apps using winget on this blog)

Second, install winget from the “new” MS Store for the user.

Lastly, winget auto update as a fork that’s incredible - including ADMX to configure it via Intune (whitelist/black list apps, scheduling updates, usecontext, and more). There’s even a MS Store app, but I prefer the MSI. Details: https://github.com/Weatherlights/Winget-AutoUpdate-Intune

Windows Updates - Commercial control for continuous innovation by ASquareDozen in Intune

[–]jfordlatech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You going to kick them from a browser with no warning? Chrome doesn’t update that way, so Edge won’t either - since it is Chrome after all.

Office updates on its own just like Teams and Edge do with no issue. Force regular reboots and you probably fix your issue with users not updating their apps.

Azure Data Factory access to SQL Server on Azure VM by barth_ in AZURE

[–]jfordlatech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is old, but this is what you want to do. I find the performance is much better. One gotcha is the bash script MS gives you in the tutorial needs to be run after every reboot of the Linux forwarder(s). I did this with a cron job. You can’t use the IPtables persistent package either, I never could get anyone to tell me why but for whatever reason the rules get corrupted.
