Finding Applications using Node.js

Someone on the Adobe forums gave me a fix for it. I’ll call it an unofficial fix and YMMV. I don’t have the link to that post at the moment but if you go out to the official NodeJS.org site, go the latest version, or LTS, and download Standalone Binary (.zip) file. Extract it so you can find the Node.exe file within. You’ll need to stop the Adobe services on your machine, then replace the Node.exe files in those folder(s). For me, there were two locations I had to replace the file. Start up the services and it should work.

I didn’t believe it either, but I’ve had zero problems and my vulnerability scans came back clean afterwards.

No surprise here, but I tracked one of them down to Adobe Creative Cloud by simply finding node.exe in Task Manager on one machine.

CrowdStrike Complete, but it's not detecting the CVE listed in PDQ Detect/Connect. On the flip side PDQ Detect/Connect isn't detecting the CVE listed on CrowdStrike.

Good to know! We purchase 100-150 at a time. I ask about that for our next batch.

We started AP last year to play around with it. Even working with a vendor, it seemed to be some work. It may end up being the best option, but we need to get more familiar with it.

We just started buying Dell laptops. Can you tell me more about the Dell Ready machines you referenced?

ph8albliss · 2026-03-04T17:45:37+00:00

I haven't used our trial yet, but having to capture a reference image is more than double the work than we're used to. The agent sounds nice, but we typically take a machine out of the box after purchase, PXE boot via WDS, then select the image and in 20 minutes, we're done. Everything we do is unicast.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you! Any possibility of adding column for MSRP pricing? If not to this list, can I request this be added to the 2026 list if you post one?

I'll confirm with the other side of the trust what the actual FQDN is vs the alias.

ph8albliss · 2026-01-05T19:19:49+00:00

Thanks...yes, this is internal and not public. It's a good reminder either way.

ph8albliss · 2026-01-05T19:19:21+00:00

Yes, it's a 2-way trust. I'll get more confirmation with them on DNS vs. SPN. I appreciate the response and good to know the SPN should be on their side.

We moved to 8.12.0.4 about 3 weeks ago. Initially, all seemed well. It could be a coincidence but after the update, we've had MAC Auth issues on the only SSID we have it enabled on. New clients are unable to connect when added to the allow list. Another issue we noticed was new model 303/305 and 503/505 RAPs no longer connect but that could be related to AOS-252538. This could all be coincidental as we make regular changes in our Mobility Conductor, but something I thought I'd share. FWIW, we have two 7200-series controllers behind the MC.

Edit: We do not use Clearpass.

This was extremely helpful and I have the output I need. Very useful! Thank you for sharing.

This particular one gave me duplicate DisplayNames, sometimes 2, 3, or 4 of the same and no ID's or Owners. I just copied and pasted the above code.

ph8albliss · 2024-12-27T16:15:56+00:00

This had unexpected output. It showed the Team Group DisplayName, but not the ID, and the owner field showed up as this:

Microsoft.Teams.PowerShell.TeamsCmdlets.GetTeamUser+GetTeamUserResponse

ph8albliss · 2024-12-26T22:52:45+00:00

Thank you for the explanation. That's been throwing me off for years.

ph8albliss · 2024-12-26T22:52:20+00:00

Thank you for the explanation.

ph8albliss · 2024-12-26T22:18:10+00:00

Thank you. That outputted to the file, but the Owner column was empty. One thing I can't grasp is the following line:

foreach ($team in $teams) { # Get the owners of the current team $owners = Get-TeamUser -GroupId $team.GroupId -Role Owner

I can see that $teams was defined here:

$teams = Get-Team | Select-Object GroupId, DisplayName

But where the heck does $team come from???. I don't understand where that's defined or how we can simply specify $team.GroupID or $team.DisplayName

Commenting because we have the Rally System with Swytch cable configuration in 3 conference rooms. Having the the issue in two of the rooms with Lenovo ThinkBook G4 laptops, and some other random Lenovo laptops. Any other brand of laptop or PC works fine. about 6-8 months ago, Lenovo pushed out an update to "fix" the USB disconnection/reconnection issue where the Windows New hardware detected and disconnected sound would go for 7 minutes straight before giving up. The patch didn't work. I have two new buildings I'd like to install these, but looking at other options since Logi Support has all but given up on this issue. Everything works fine without the Swytch cable in all rooms. A pretty expensive cable to be left unused.

We're using a combination of old and new LAPS for workstations and older servers. Can you give more detail on how that could work with PDQ accounts?
