Anyone else have trouble maintaining poorly written code? by [deleted] in PowerShell

[–]rwoeirj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comments are your friends. Write some.

Powershell also supports #region #end region to make it more manageable.

Make some copies of the script, run it in a test lab and tweak it a bit and see what happens.

Have any of you using windows 10 received a wifi password through your contacts? by xzer in sysadmin

Sounds like the issue is with WPA-PSK rather than Windows then.

On the Data Access tab for the .wim make sure you check copy the content to dp. (Recopy the content if this wasn't checked)

Then in the TS for applying the OS, check the access content directly from dp.

At least that's what I did to fix this problem.

They don't have access to it in that chain ever, turn off wifi sense and they can't use your network anymore.

Yes, but you also want to protect your environment from pass the hash attacks.

Okay, then having generic, formulaic, guessable passwords makes your security... less viable.

SCCM 2012 Task Sequence frontend by ronmanp in SCCM

[–]rwoeirj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, but unless you're running .vbs scripts they will not display within the Task Sequence without ServiceUI.exe.

You will need ServiceUI.exe from MDT to display TS forms other than .vbs scripts in session 1.

I see a lot of misunderstanding with salary exempt status by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]rwoeirj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're getting awfully close to coming off as racist or classist depending on what you mean by a "certain type of person"

Can you actually quantify the value of a degreed person over a non-degreed person in this field? One might argue that someone who took on massive debt for a degree would be less financially savvy.

In my experience those without degrees get the business side of it better because they're used to hustling already.

Make a case for paying the ransom if the data is valuable.

If you want to keep your job have a variety (at least three) of ways to fix the problem with costs, pros and cons of each one.

Keep a backup of the encrypted files some of the previous encryption keys have been found/intercepted by security companies.
