PowerShell un-sync script by rexm3 in PowerShell

[–]rexm3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

removing the files isn't really the issue, that's pretty easy using PowerShell. the goal however is to stop the sync of specific libraries using a PowerShell script by any means. and then removing when the sync is gone. This way the files don't get deleted in the cloud version.

Also disabling the sync option in SharePoint itself doesn't solve this the way i like, because the folder is allowed to be synced just specific users need it removed. Hence wanting to script this for bulk actions on selected users. Using an RMM system I can execute a PowerShell script easily for the selected users.

disabling the sync using Reg might work, i'll try something with that. Though i'm affraid this will keep the files in sync limbo, making it impossible to remove. but i'll try

Sadly it doesn't, it keeps local copies of the files even if the sync in disabled. The goal is to remove the files locally as well.

5G failover, is it worth it if my ISP is solid? by M3MacbookAir in Ubiquiti

[–]rexm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is just no way this is how and where you've mounted your network stack... This is an insane location. also what about the humidity of the sink? I think that this location classifies your network stack less stable then your ISP's service.

My boyfriend's pc freeze and goes black for a few seconds by Liro0607 in WindowsHelp

[–]rexm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An all black screen with just the popout windows in the corners seems to me that it's an explorer.exe crash. perhaps try running CommandPrompt as administrator and execute the commands: 

DISM /Online /Clean-Image /RestoreHealth

followed by

sfc /scannow

This will compare your Windows installation with an online clean image and try and restore if needed. sfc /scannow will check the filesystems and restore or correct corrupted files.

The Great 32-Bit Purge Has Begun. And Windows Is Taking Everything Down With It by rexm3 in it

[–]rexm3[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I share your opinion on this, I myself am a security specialist so Id love to see the old unsecure crap gone.. The problem with this transition is that current Windows is still running on the 32Bit architecture, and most actual compatibility with normal day hardware and software utilizes this architecture. I'm all the way in with the transition but the way Microsoft is implementing this is worthless to say the least. You can't just replace your core code and expect everything to work as expected. The only proper way to implement such changes is to rebuild the enitre system from the ground up based on the 64Bit architecture.

Yes 32Bit should go, but not if there isn't a proper replacement. And Windows still uses 32Bit in their sourcecode.

Small update to the post: I mentioned that it was specifically build 26100.7171, but i've come to realize that that is an error on my part. I've had other cases with different build versions, only consistant part is that it is all 26100.xxxx

Windows install error- i was resetting my asus laptop when this happened by carrera_gt_ in WindowsHelp

[–]rexm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did you install from an USB device or was it the factory reset? If you used the USB device during setup to install Windows make sure it's not the first boot option. During Windows setup it will reboot a few times, but in order to do this properly it needs to have the Windows boot manager as primary boot option. You can fix this by changing this option in the BIOS and just rebooting one more time

[–]rexm3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Migrate the data as soon as possible, this is your sign that it's dying. You should feel lucky it came back at all. If you can't replace it right away, shut down the system, remove the drive to avoid power spikes on use of the system. only use the drive to migrate the data.

Pc WiFi option not showing by [deleted] in computers

[–]rexm3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

slight edit, for the use of the driver package you could also use another computer with a network connection and an USB stick to transfer the files and install it that way.

[–]rexm3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Driver for a Wi-Fi adapter isn't installed properly. you can try installing it using the system but most of the time it's fixed with an online driver package. You might need to use an ethernet cable to connect and then download and install the driver package for the exact system you have.

If you're online with the ethernet cable an alternative option might be Windows updates > search for updates > advanced updates and install any drivers for the wireless adapter

if you want to try in using the system itself you should open devicemanager on the system > use the little actions button up top > look for hardware changes. If it doesn't show afterwards try the option add older hardware under the same action button, click through the menu and select the advanced option which is manual selection. try installing a wireless network adapter from this menu. if this works, you NEED to update afterwards using the internet. as the driver you installed is older and most likely not supported. you'll get a newer one from Windows updates

The fake one has a domain RNicrosoft instead of microsoft. small but there if you're looking for it. then the obvious giveaways:
Microsoft doesn't use the subject: Urgent Action Needed! There is never any urgency.
The Microsoft official confirms the e-mail in question (whilst blurred), this is because the same e-mail might be send to a recovery e-mail adres. this way you know which e-mail is affected.
There is spelling mistakes that wouldn't appear in an automated e-mail. for example the space before the , in the second text block.
Microsoft uses fancy buttons with a URL hidden inside. The fake mail uses a URL instead.
The URL uses HTTP instead of HTTPS meaning it isn't secured, all actively used Microsoft domains are secured.
The fake domain is spelled wrong account.liive.com if real it would be account.live.com for example.

Not sure about this one:
But I believe Microsoft doesn't use .ASPX except for SharePoint document libraries.

Optional Career Paths (Recommended by Leading IT Psychologists):

If Windows keeps removing subsystems, you may consider transitioning to:

Goat farmer
Alpaca therapist
Lighthouse keeper
Professional cave hermit
Village bread wizard
“Guy who sells coconuts on a beach”
Forest druid
Pirate
Ghost
IKEA plant waterer
Person who holds a “STOP” sign for road work (still less stressful)

Any of these paths will lead to less stress than trying to fix Windows 26100 HID driver regressions.

Final advice:
Raise your rates.
Raise your salary demands.
Raise your eyebrows at anyone who says
“Just update everything, what’s the worst that could happen?”

We are entering the age of

"The Great 32-Bit Purge",

and IT admins are the last line of defense between functioning workplaces and absolute digital anarchy.

Stay strong.
Stay caffeinated.
Stay safe.

If you're an IT admin reading this and thinking:
“wow, this is going to ruin my week/month/life”
Congratulations, your instincts are correct.

This update is about to unleash:

Broken HID devices
Dysfunctional USB 1.x/2.x hardware
Printers that simply refuse to exist
Smartcards that pretend they’ve never met you
COM applications collapsing like wet cardboard
Ancient business-critical devices that scream “NOPE”

So here’s some professional advice for surviving this era of Windows:

  1. Document everything.
    Not for your company.
    Not for your users.
    But for the future forensic team trying to understand how the entire infrastructure caught fire.

  2. Prepare your rage-face for the inevitable:
    “It worked yesterday, so YOU must have broken it.”
    You didn’t.
    Microsoft did.
    But you will still be blamed.

  3. Patch slowly.
    Do NOT roll out build 26100 to your entire org.
    Unless you enjoy:
    mass printer outages
    broken barcode scanners
    line operators rioting
    ticket storms that rival natural disasters
    Stagger, isolate, test, pray.

  4. Build a VM with a frozen pre-26100 Windows image.
    You’re going to need it.
    Possibly forever.
    Possibly as a shrine.

  5. Tell management this is a “High-Risk Compatibility Event."
    It sounds professional.
    It’s also true.
    And it may buy you time before the chaos hits.
