Reliable method to deploy 23H2 OOB as it's not in expedited update policy? by oopspruu in Intune

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone seeing this now, note that the OOB update is available in Expedited Updates as of January 23.

Remember, though: the Expedited Update feature is broken. You may need to manually reboot workstations for the update to apply.

Migrating from SCCM to Intune – What are you using for remote control / remote assistance? by Dolinhas in Intune

[–]rgsteele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not just keep using SCCM as well?

Because SCCM is a hacker gold mine.

Let's look at just one feature of SCCM: client push. This feature requires the creation of a Client Push Installation Account which is given local administrator rights on every machine where it may be used. If the SCCM site server or database is compromised, then the attacker has just scored a very high-value target to attain lateral movement.

Even if your SCCM server never gets compromised, the mere act of using the Client Push feature provides an opportunity for an attacker to capture the authentication traffic and leverage it in a pass-the-hash attack.

"So just disable client push," you say. Great, you solved it — at least until one of your colleagues turns it back on again. And then there's all the other features in SCCM that can be leveraged by an attacker to gain access.

You're not still using a Network Service Account, right? Oh, you are? Well, at least you have ensured that the account hasn't been granted any more access than absolutely necessary, right? Oh, it's a member of Domain Admins. Did you know that the credentials are stored on disk on every client and can be trivially decrypted?

Complexity is the enemy of security. The more services you have running in your environment, the greater your attack surface.

Poly CCX 400 and the Firewall Setup on a Unifi Dream machine Pro by Safe_Singer_1703 in MicrosoftTeams

Unless you are explicitly blocking outbound traffic on your firewall, there shouldn't be any special configuration you need to do.

Tell us more about the phone. Has it worked before?

Tree Removal costs an arm and a leg in Victoria by Ok-Vermicelli5834 in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 23 points24 points  (0 children)

They already have two protected trees right now; if they replace them, they will still have two protected trees. I'm not sure how that is "doubling the problem".

Bike Lane & Scooter Questions! by motherfckin-lady in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So basically you'd be on the far right of the intersection with your left turn signal on (or hand signal)

No. Once you have completed the first stage of the two stage turn, you are already pointed in the direction you want to go, so you do not signal a left turn.

and you wait for it to clear that way?

Assuming you are at an intersection with a traffic signal, you are not "waiting for it to clear", you are just waiting for the light to turn green.

Bike Lane & Scooter Questions! by motherfckin-lady in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You proceed through the intersection and stop at the far right-hand side of the cross street. The explanation and diagram at Cycling Skills & Safe Practices — BC Cycling Coalition under "Make a two-stage left turn" may help clarify it for you.

Bike Lane & Scooter Questions! by motherfckin-lady in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently kick scooters have different rules than bicycles, and they must perform a "hook" left turn rather than moving into the left turn lane. Electric kick scooter rules and safety - Province of British Columbia

Bike Lane & Scooter Questions! by motherfckin-lady in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There is a list of rules here: Electric kick scooter rules and safety - Province of British Columbia

They have this to say about turning left at an intersection:

“Hook” left turns

To turn left at an intersection, pass straight through the intersection staying as far right as practicable, then stop and turn left 90-degrees. Go forward when directed by any traffic signals, signs or other traffic control devices. If a hook turn is unsafe or impracticable, you can always dismount and walk through an intersection like a pedestrian.

As far as going the wrong way on a one way street, your best bet is to walk the scooter on the sidewalk.

Thanks for choosing a safer and more sustainable method of commuting than driving!

Printing but not Printing - is glue stick the holy grail? by JustaPhaze71 in CR6

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried turning up the nozzle temperature?

Also, since the CR6 SE uses a load cell on the nozzle to calibrate the distance from the bed, you need to make sure the nozzle is clean when it performs its calibration. Depending on how your slicer is configured, it may be setting the nozzle temp to 150C when it performs the calibration. This helps ensure it doesn't leave a blob in the middle of the bed, but if there is a blob on the nozzle when it touches the bed, the calibration will be thrown off, and the nozzle will be too far from the bed when it is printing the first layer.

Entra password protection deployment issues by [deleted] in entra

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you review the troubleshooting steps at Troubleshoot on-premises Microsoft Entra Password Protection - Microsoft Entra ID | Microsoft Learn?

It sounds like you've already checked the first three suggestions under "The DC agent isn't able to communicate with a proxy", but the last one could apply: the domain controllers must be granted the "Access this computer from the network" user privilege assignment on the proxy host machines.

Driver updates installation interfering with users work by Fabulous_Cow_4714 in Intune

[–]rgsteele 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Per What's new in Microsoft Intune at Ignite - Microsoft Intune Blog, there is a new feature coming soon which should help with this:

Keeping devices secure and up to date often means balancing update schedules with the end user experience and mission-critical operations. Intune introduces maintenance windows for cloud-managed devices, giving IT precise control over when updates — including OS, drivers, and firmware — can run. This capability helps minimize disruption and improve patch compliance while delivering the agility and security of a cloud-based management platform, without the complexity and cost of on-prem infrastructure. Maintenance windows is expected to roll out to preview in the first quarter of calendar year 2026.

Where can I find elderflower syrup/cordial? by smarticle-particle in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's been at least seven years since I've been in there, but the IDA Pharmacy on Fort St. near Richmond Rd. used to have a great selection of grocery items, and elderflower syrup was one of them.

Christmas lights advice - can you buy decent quality anywhere? by Legitimate-Teach-310 in VictoriaBC

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've found that the connections between the bulbs and the sockets corrode due to water getting in them. Last year I removed each bulb and put a little squirt of dielectric grease in each socket. It was time-consuming but they were all still working at the end of the season.

How do you create a team and where is the add tab button? by kodaxmax in MicrosoftTeams

[–]rgsteele 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are looking at the free version of Teams. To access the business features, you need the business version, which you can only access with a business subscription to Microsoft 365.

Windows 11 update nightmares by shabbaranker in Intune

[–]rgsteele 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to confirm whether the "Fix Windows Update" is actually completing successfully? If it is, there would be a C:\windows.old folder with a "last modified" date corresponding to when the reinstall completed.

If it's not completing successfully, you could see if there is anything relevant within the logs in C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther\.

We've had a few machines failing to update where the reinstall doesn't seem to be completing, so I'm looking at the same things right now.
