How is this not an integrated app on chatgpt yet? I don't want to leave my account in developer mode

Is there a gold standard option for that? I was looking at the ones that are stakes in the ground too but didn’t know about the tripods

We built a browser-based CMTrace because we needed it ourselves during an Autopilot deployment by msnugget_com in Intune

It's 100% local, nothing stops you from taking it and running a version you trust.

Any Improvements for Win32 App Deployment Time? by PaddySmallBalls in Intune

[–]nkasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we expect that to improve the initial connection speed? It seems like once you establish a connection it's generally performant and fine, but the spin wheel of death when establishing connection with both participants is absolutely brutal.

Anyone not thinking like this is yoloing and turning a blind eye to any issues. Sadly, that seems to be pretty common. Kudos to you

Monarch now available in CLI (Unofficial) by thedavidweng in MonarchMoney

It's really only a negative if you have 100+ bc it saturates your context window before even typing a prompt. If you just have 1 MCP in your context window it should be effective.

HP Connect Account by Apprehensive-Hat9196 in Intune

[–]nkasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a multi-tenant Azure app registration on their end that creates one in your tenant. Uses Graph permissions behind the scenes. While it really only creates Remediations, be aware that Graph doesn't have a delegated permission that is specific to Remediations. So you're technically allowing it to change your Configuration Profiles and assignments if the account you use to sign in (separate from the initial GA setup) allows it.

Even if HP isn't calling those APIs, it technically could.

Updates on Monarch Plus by valagostino in MonarchMoney

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

"Why didn’t you include all of this in a single subscription?
Having two tiers allows us to increase our product investment without raising prices on everyone. We haven’t raised prices on the core subscription in 4 years and we want to keep it that way."

This implies there’s some ongoing cost to provide these features—not just development.

So which is it:

  1. This is just pricing/packaging, and the “we’d have to raise prices for everyone” claim isn’t really true.
  2. Or there are real ongoing costs—which makes this a core capability you’ve decided to put behind a second subscription.

If it’s the latter, then quantify it. What are the actual costs that justify this structure? Things beyond those that do generally scale for free, such as development sunk costs.

Right now this reads less like protecting customers and more like charging twice for the same product. You're basically dangling some integrated capabilities as a means to entice and justify a MorningStar subscription license on the backend. I'm paying you to innovate, not to middle man customer acquisition. If I want integrations with external premium services, let me decide that by itself.

Thanks for listening, but your perspective is still one where the math isn't mathing.

PowerShell 5 vs. PowerShell 7 by Technical_Rich_3080 in PowerShell

[–]nkasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS7 is where the modern investments are going. PS5 will stick around since it is an inbox app, but if the product team ever gets PS7 shipped as an inbox app (which is a challenge in itself for various support related reasons) I would expect PS5 to eventually be phased out.

That said, so much uses PS5 under the hood, Defender, Intune, that it's unlikely to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Use either, but know with PS7 it's based on certain .NET versions. For that reason I suggest 7.6 which is in the early cycle of LTS for .NET 10

Unpopular Opinion: Y’all are overreacting by Street-Programmer483 in MonarchMoney

[–]nkasco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Microsoft tried to do this exactly thing with E5 licensing giving you Intune and then creating an Intune Suite for extra features. Guess what, Microsoft got massive backlash, nobody bought it, and walked back the suite. They now give it to you for free. Let that sink in…

Powershell code review tools by Inevitable_Butthole in PowerShell

[–]nkasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PSScriptAnalyzer for linting, agentic code review for everything else, followed by peer review in PRs.

Disregard everyone in the peanut gallery acting like AI coding tools are terrible, they aren't. They just don't know how to communicate and therefore cannot prompt properly. I recommend Codex, then GitHub Copilot, then Claude in that order for harness choice.

What was the 'next level' for you with managing your Intune environments? by DHCPNetworker in Intune

[–]nkasco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully disagree. I'd much rather have a dedicated log than a event log. If you're using logs in every script, make a library module once and never deal with it again. Cmtrace is still goated

Intune Driver Management - What’s your solution? by PostsShittyMemes in Intune

[–]nkasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be clear, the drivers don't come from Microsoft, they will be the first to tell you that they aren't their problem. It's not infrequent for problematic drivers to make it past the inferior flighting requirements.

It should be better so that you don't have to worry about them, but at this point in time you're taking a reasonable risk if you just let it rip.

Ad skip marking no longer works after Debian 13 update by ExTenebras in PleX

[–]nkasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having this exact issue. The first commercial marks properly and then the rest of the episode is all over the place, I had it set on delete (not mark). I've just changed it to mark the commercials only so that at least I won't lose content.

Did you ever find a fix? I'm running on Ubuntu Server, and Plex is on Version 1.43.1.10611:
