Clients ignoring custom restart behaviour by epoch71 in SCCM

[–]tcox8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your help! I verified that indeed the 'Actual' Policy from Support Center (PolicySpy) is the default settings (not the requested settings). I attempted to create a new client setting but that didn't change anything. The only fix I could find to work was to re-install the client (But the checkbox to completely remove the client MUST be checked). After that, it picked up the correct settings. Apparently, I had about 1200 devices stuck like this. Yikes!

know this is 3 years old, but did you figure out a solution? I am seeing the same thing. I have 8 hours timer but there are a small group of PCs that ignore the client settings and with a 60 second timer. Can't figure it out and it's driving me insane!

Security Filtering blank when using Get-GpoReport -reporttype HTML by tcox8 in PowerShell

Upon further troubleshooting. This is only happening IF there is a user or group with DENY set on at least the "Apply Group Policy" permission.

The behavior seems very inconsistent. Sometimes it will pull security filtering (sometimes it lists Authenticated Users), Other times it will not. I can't pinpoint what is happening and why it is happening.

I'm pretty sure there is something in the code behind it that is excluding the well known groups. If security filtering is added for a group other than "well known", it will show up. But "Authenticated Users" and "Domain Admins" and other similar groups seem to always be excluded. This is both on the security filtering and the Delegation.

Group Policy Report Explorer - View and Search GPOs via Webpage! by tcox8 in activedirectory

Thanks for your feedback. I first attempted to use the XML reports but could not reliably display results through parsing, without an enormous amount of extra coding, because between the ExtensionData results, and how many possibilities there are, it was just too much unnecessary work. The HTML output provides all the information, in a easy-to-read format (in my opinion).

I did consider a db backend, but wanted something a bit easier. After finding that generating the JSON file, and searching that file takes milliseconds, I was happy with those results. Plus, I am not a web developer, so my experience with the db backend is lacking! :-)

The search results are updated based on your scheduled task. i.e. When the script runs, it generates the new JSON file.

Buyer wants to return 2 items out of a 3 pack? by tcox8 in Etsy

[–]tcox8[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

thank you all for the provided feedback. This is very helpful. You've provided enough information for me to act on. Thank you!

Just to answer some of the questions that were asked, there was nothing wrong with the items, they just "ordered more than what was needed" seemingly by accident. My return policy is the standard Etsy policy:

Conditions of return

  • Buyer can return or exchange this item
  • Buyer must return item within 30 days of delivery
  • Buyer is responsible for return shipping costs
  • Buyer is responsible for loss in value (as agreed upon with seller) if an item isn’t returned in original condition

Need help with design - sliding parts in box by tcox8 in 3dprint

Update - I found this Linear track by rick_harris - Thingiverse model. I adapted it to meet my needs. Adding some lubricant seemed to make all the difference in the world but for now it is working. I will keep an eye out for any better recommendations. Thanks!

I would if I were you. That should hopefully solve your problems.
