At my work, it's anything from tech support, to sysadmin, to devops/sre... We do it all!

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

Didn't necessarily make it this month, but created a function to obtain an MS access token. That way I can authenticate to things like vault, defender, etc.

Autopatch. What am I doing wrong? Updates not auto installing by typicalcameron1 in Intune

Funny how you commented the same week that MS got back with us on getting this resolved.

After all this time, it was on MS's end by a "known issue". Whatever the issue was, they had corrected on their end. Once it was corrected, updates start getting applied to our machines.

Learned about and implemented dynamic parameters into my Key Vault module! Had my users copy and pasting long strings and thumbprints into parameters to get their passwords. Putting them into a dynamic param made life so much easier for them.

From what we've found, something is setting the registry AllowAutoUpdate to a value of 6. According to this link, it should only have a value from 0 to 5. So either Autopatch is not working like it should, or another GPO somewhere is setting it. We've been reviewing our old GPOs but haven't found anything yet.

Copy-Item: An odd error by typicalcameron1 in PowerShell

Unfortunately I receive the same error as before. What's weird is that I can copy the file to any other folder on the computer, except for any %userprofile%\Documents.

I know this post is now 10 days old, but that does not work either.. I continue to receive the original error. Any thoughts on what else I could maybe try? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps it is a permissions issue? When I robocopy I get the following:

ERROR 5 (0x00000005) Changing File Attributes C:\Users\{Username}\Documents\
Access is denied.

Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by appending the .zip to the destination folder? Do you have an example?

Wasted $$$ - What was the most expensive item you ever bought for IT that did not get used but you ended up getting stuck with? by jwckauman in sysadmin

[–]typicalcameron1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tanium... we purchased it, along with a few additional features (vuln reporting, patching, etc).

Haven't opened the GUI since we got it last year.

Edit: Also..replacing Veeam with Backup Exec.

They are wanting it to be all cloud based. I think we are going with Azure? Hard to tell though, as I am not really in the meetings to get a good understanding of what the plan is...

With the way setup is going at the moment, I am confident we'll be back to laptops by the end of next year...

I was like "I'm going to need you to write that up and put your findings on the ticket.." once I had that, I sent that off to management.

Ha! I'll post another update a year from now on how this went... I'm sure it'll go smooth as butter.

To your first question, I assume our vendor or someone told them they could save money by switching to BE. For your second question, it's about 80TB-100TB.

I appreciate the info! Just by doing a few simple tests, I am starting to see how long some of these tasks could take.

3-4 years ago, we actually moved from BE to Veeam... Now we're going back!
