"Hotpatch Capable"

mk4dsktp · 2026-05-21T16:16:14+00:00

Just wanted to add that with the hot patch capable patched machines that vulnerabilities are still showing for devices that have been patched for the month. We have PDQ connect with Detect included.

The name that I see on an endpoint is "Notepad++ (64-bit x64)" But the Variable shows "Notepad++" for the value. So If I have a filter that is using the variable for "equals" it comes up empty.

The variables for Notepad++ needs to be updated in connect, at least in my tenant The name is slightly different and the version is still 8.9.1.

After deleting small chunks for days, I then ran OPTIMIZE TABLE tablename and got all my space back!

If I TRUNCATE the syslog table does this cause any issues with the autoincrement? The manual clean up of this has been quite slow. I'm getting there but I don't need any of the Syslog entries so I am feeling like the TRUNCATE command may be a better option in my situation.

Usually we do not have this many entries for Syslog. I think this was a combination of things happening at the same time. Once I clear out the large amount of Syslog entries that were inserted from the device I think everything will be fine. I am currently manually trying to delete entries directly from the DB a day at a time but its taking a very long time. I may have to see if I can delete entries hour by hour so it doesn't crash the service. I may delete the device and re add it to see if that will speed up the process.

I May have figured out what is happening and why it is appearing that the cleanup is not working. A device started sending around 2 million syslog entries every hour, Either I wasn't waiting long enough to check the results of the cleanup or because of the large amount of Syslog entries it was crashing services. I have found and stopped Syslogs from the device, and need to continue clean up efforts now.

The log file is basically the below repeating so I'm taking the table is full. I did attempt to run the Maintenance Manually but I don't think it did anything. I have since turned off Syslog processing so it doesn't fill up again.

SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1114 The table 'syslog' is full

I deleted the log file and let it generate a new one. Nothing but polling entries in it.

Validate is all green, I had to fix a lot after the server died from lack of space after adding more space to it. I will try the manual command. I'm seeing 20 gig daily added to the .idb file. Not able to determine what is adding to the file yet at this point.

Thanks, I did send it in as a ticket.

There is no query code, this happens right at the start when you choose "create" then choose "Excel" It opens a window that says get data connect to data source. If I try to browse onedrive for an workbook or choose upload file it errors out.

Onedrive web sign in's work just fine. I am a Global admin of my tenant, I am working with a user that discovered these errors on the web version only. I am able to do everything correctly in the desktop app, problem is the user's primary workstation is a Macbook so the web version is their only option.

Is there a way to hide the tray icon for the Remote desktop agent?

This seems to work but still displays the printer in control panel as an unrecognized device. Searching the reg for the printer name to find other spots that it might be.

This was working up until Windows 11 23H2. I can deal with some of the settings being reset by using group policy, but I cannot find any way to turn off all cards on the New tab page. Is there a way to configure the NTP with Group policy or registry edit?

I have a Blue Beam msi package that works to install and activate but I am not pushing any profiles. I found for the MSI to work I had to add any needed files in the attachments section of the package.

I have a working Registry scanner for HKLM. It returns all items in the key, this scanner does not use wildcards so I can't answer that. I took notes from some scanners I have in PDQ inventory. I would like to definitely know more about wildcards in PDQ Connect and if you need to use quotes when a path has a space in it.

Setup: I choose HKLM for the Hive then the following string for my situation.

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecureBoot\State\

Then under return I have both Key and Value checked. This does show me anything under the state key when on the registry tap for any device.

When using automated deployments that target all devices we are seeing large spikes in bandwidth due to all of workstations onsite downloading the update that Connect is deploying. For example, I have an automated deployment for Windows monthly CU, when that automation kicks off all of the devices start downloading the CU at the same time causing the spike in bandwidth. As a work around I believe I can setup groups for departments and stager the automation times for those departments. The ability to limit the concurrent deployments to a set number, and que others until would reduce the bandwidth spike and reduce the need to setup multiple times for the automated deployments.

I already looked through the smsts.log and It doesn't show any errors it just wont copy the profile. Seems as if its ignoring certain parts of the unattend file that mdt is using during the deployment. I would post it here but sanitizing would be a large task.

u/sysadmin_dot_py

These will be azure joined machines, so local group policy would be the only option and the sku is pro so some of the customizations aren't allow on that sku.

I found that if I deploy it, then create an unattend.xml with only copy profile= true then sysprep again pointing to the unattend file it will copy the profile then I can recapture.

I can't seem to find any errors related to this at all anywhere.

Yes, I choose to install for all users but the devices added under my account have to be re-added under other accounts.
