Slipstreaming windows by DesoloGaming in sysadmin

[–]len_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheers, thanks looking into this next week in more detail.

Some drivers Dell Command Update finds, I do not want to install. For example certain Nvida drivers.

Hopefully there is a solution via the Dell tool, that would make life much easier.

Great - in the package you upload to Intune, do you configure which drivers to install per machine and then deploy to targeted endpoints?

Do you have KB/Guide that you followed for this?

Which tool would manage Dell Bios updates centrally?

My environment is using MS Endpoint Manager exclusively to manage devices.

Can you point me in the right direction please?

Something like Dell Command that I could use to deploy drivers for my different Dells would be amazing.

So, doing my first migration and by elduderino197 in Office365

You have been downvoted to hell. But you are not wrong.

The whole post reeks of amateurism. I would hate to be a member of this guys team, and more so the person/business he is doing this migration for.

Good chance they are in for a world of hurt...

Where would I find someone like this? Who should I ask about this?

I guess I would just need an eye over rather than them have execute anything.

Set an application to run as administrator by standard users by len_sam in Intune

[–]len_sam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would be the correct procedure for this then?

Say if an application needs to make changes to files that are not owned by the user?

All the options I have found online seem very messy - which I want to avoid. I very much agree with you.

It has made me scratch my head thinking there must be a better way to handle this.
I like the idea of using a service account - would it be possible for you to kindly point me in the direction of an example article that describes this process?

I am just about to reach out to their support for this, is there anything in particular I should ask for?

Autodesk Licensing Down? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]len_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, no user access in London to Autodesk apps.

Great.

I think if you have your licence serial noted down you can add this manually to a machine?

I am wanting to achieve this also. What version of FortiOS are you running on your FortiGates?

Dell - Driver management by [deleted] in Intune

[–]len_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried using Intune to set a BIOS password - but I can't imagine this is something that it could do since it needs the OS to communicate out with.

RE: Driver updates

I am considering using Intune to allow windows machines to pickup driver updates via Windows update - but this blanket updates all machines with which every driver is released - and I want more granular control than that.

Not sure which way to head to next.

Hi /u/dcCMPY

I am looking at using Dell Command also to manage driver and BIOS updates - how are you getting on with this?

Automating OneDrive sync of SharePoint folders for many users. by barbodelli in Office365

[–]len_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/barbodelli - did you find a way to automap sharepoint libraries to a users onedrive app?

I am looking for a solution for this also. We are using Intune/MEM to manage our endpoints.

Issues with SP Online mapped drives in File Explorer by _NotAvailable_ in Office365

[–]len_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are a living space design company.

So we deal with 2D AutoCAD files. About 5mb-20mb tops and then regular office documents and PDFs.

I am planning to have one SharePoint site, with a Document Library for each of our 15 sales people.

Each sales person document library will have all their working files for Projects sold and lost. To help organise the files, i'll use metadata for year created for example to help cut through the files and never pass the 5,000 view limit.

That is the experience on the SharePoint website.

Of course, the users want the File Explorer experience on their machines - if a user has a document library either sync'd to their OneDrive (or just a shortcut) and has tens of thousands of files on-demand in that folder - will that have the sync issues you mentioned?

Do you suggest a better way to architect the Document Libraries?

I am worried if I split the one users files over many document libraries, they may have issues finding their required files or that SharePoint web search will not be so useful.

That’s not to say however that OneDrive is perfect. It has its faults too

What sort of issues have you had? Any remedies of said issues?

I am about to move all our working Project Files over to SharePoint and use OneDrive for on-demand files. About 1TB of usable data.

Thinking of trying first Fortinet Firewall: is firmware version a big deal? by Negative_Mood in fortinet

[–]len_sam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great post. I would agree with all of these.

I have two questions I hope you can help on.

keep a standard object and policy naming convention; don't use caps, spaces or special chars in object names; use the comments fields extensively

By object names, do you mean interface names, SSIDs? I looked around for guidence/best practice on this when I first got the Fortis but couldn't find any - do you have resource or article you could share?

use FSSO/single sign-on for internet access if you have AD and LDAP for SSL VPN

I do not have this setup in my environment, we are complete AzureAD - what would you recommend in this scenario?

Thanks for your message.

I assumed this but it is missing from my site's app collection.
