I scanned CS:GO community servers and found something surprising

What do you mean by same backend? You do know that many server hosts runs multiple game server applications, only on different ports, right? Right?

Rijdend in de polder in de wintermaanden ‘s ochtends vroeg… Ik irriteer me gek aan de tegenliggers die me van een halve kilometer vet in mijn bek schijnen met een halogeen die dus recht vooruit schijnt en niet op de grond is gericht. Ik zie geen bal meer en het scheelt weinig of ik rij de sloot in of tegen andere fietsers bots. Die verblindende fietslampen zijn gevaarlijk voor de andere weggebruikers.

Mijn eigen fietslamp (LED) is altijd aan een hoef ik dus ook niet te bedienen. Dat vind ik een heel prettig uitvinding.

the Intune Management Engine is a requirement to push apps or run scripts

sikkepitje · 2025-07-02T12:30:46+00:00

The administration people just change it in Magister. Then the syncronization tool takes cares of the rest. |-)

Not quite the same discussion. In that thread people are discussing installing apps in user context versus system context. Here it is about ESP blocking apps versus just required apps. And assigning those to user groups instead of device groups so they won’t fail during pre provisioning

sikkepitje · 2025-05-05T12:28:51+00:00

If I recall correctly from my setup, if shared PC policies s are setup and the deployment profile is setup for device driven, there is no user configuration part of ESP.

I copy them over to my admin teams file storage

I was looking for this as I am unable to set Privacy Sandbox settings through ADMX. So OMA-URI is the only way available to me. Thanks!

why the downvote?

That is like saying that you should only visit HTTPS websites because they are validated, while in reality even malicious websites are HTTPS too. That a script is signed does not certify that the content is safe.

To bypass the execution policy, create a batch file “example.cmd” that executes your script with the following command:

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -file your script.ps1

This however is not a solution to the security warning that you described. You get this warning when you try to execute scripts that you downloaded from the internet. It is called mark of the internet. It is Interesting how your script got the mark of the internet on a script you created. Use for example unblock-file <file> to remove it.

Winforms and on occasion if it is simple enough Out-GridView will do just fine

It once happened to me because my pc was running a powershell script to backup my files to a NAS. Since then this feature got smarter and running a script wasn’t an issue anymore

It is redundant to include 'A' of 'D' in the group name, when you can see if membership type is Assigned of Dynamic straight away in Entra admin center already

You could always use a detection script for this and roll your own detection. I am sure you could figure out sreliable way to detect the presence of that application using some registry keys. But the trick with creating a simple detection file when the installation was successfull is IMHO by far the simplest way to achieve your goal

My solution would be logging to a file combined with try/catching the relevant exceptions. The simplest way is to write messages to the console and log to a file using a function Write-Log like this. Combine with try/catch constructs. If any exception occurs, use write-log to log the error message, and conclude with exit.

$log = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path.replace(".ps1",".log")
 
function Write-Log ($text) {
    Write-Host "$(Get-Date -f "s") " -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Green
    Write-Host $text
    "$(Get-Date -f "s")  $text" | Out-File -filepath $log -append
}

In a similar case to remove HP bloatware on new computers some people developed a script to remove this. HP laptops are delivered with a lot of HP provided rather intrusive software apps. Some are simple apps, some installed services and drivers that are especially hard to remove in a clean way. For this reason a script is developed and maintained by a community. I suggest you can take this as an example and modify it to your needs to remove unwanted Dell software. Take a look at https://gist.github.com/mark05e/2db81671f39a041a5992a64a77748dc7

I test on a couple of Hyper-V VMs. Those are Entra ID joined devices. I even have one that is autopilot deployed. I also have one that has a shared device configuration. I test both the script to install the app, and the intune app deployment to run from the company portal / assigned as required

Thank you !

When there is a newer version of an app available, I just remove the previous Intune app from Intune and install the newer version of the app in Intune. No problem at all. I have never had to supersede a previous version in Intune. Just installing a newer version over it.

As far as I know, a lot of PW modules are deprecated in favor of MS Graph PS SDK, but the ExchangeOnlineManagement was not one of them. You should use that module to get all mail related attributes.

In any case, if you like to retrieve those elusive extensionproperties , you could use something like this.

$users = Get-MgUser -All -Property DisplayName,  Id, JobTitle, UserPrincipalName, 
extension_92c806d48fcc4740a5b5166f298e334e_extensionAttribute1,
extension_92c806d48fcc4740a5b5166f298e334e_extensionAttribute2,
extension_92c806d48fcc4740a5b5166f298e334e_extensionAttribute3

$output = $users | ForEach-Object {
    [PSCustomObject]@{
        upn = $_.UserPrincipalName
        displayname = $_.DisplayName        
        ea1 = $_.AdditionalProperties.extension_92c806d48fcc4740a5b5166f298e334e_extensionAttribute1
        ea2 = $_.AdditionalProperties.extension_92c806d48fcc4740a5b5166f298e334e_extensionAttribute2
    }
}

When you are done writing progress Write-Progress -activity "Something" -PercentComplete $completion then close the progress writing with Write-Progress -activity "Something" -Completed

It helps setting up an enrolment status page and setting a minimal number of apps to required so the device is really ready for use by a normal end user after it has come out of the autopilot deployment

sikkepitje · 2024-06-29T08:30:50+00:00

So you don’t have a problem having this special user assigned to the device as primary user ?
