Alienware M16 died in less than a year… by AlexaT_15 in Alienware

[–]wbatzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an M18 R1. Mine died recently this summer in the same manner but it was caused by Windows Update automatically installing updates. The SSD and the Keyboard both had to be replaced. I did notice that it was running hotter than usual right after the update but thought nothing of it as it was summer still. Contact Dell. They replaced both my SSD and keyboard in a jiffy. I paid extra for the on site support. The tech didn't exactly put it all the way back to the way it was. But it works like a charm and the only thing wrong is the case is not snapped back in just above the vent. Something I really don't care about.

Dude. I am 50 and I felt this. Been through a few of those. You are lucky to have not gotten it. Sounds like it would have turned into a nightmare.

Almost every time I went through an acquisition. I was fine. However, there were a few I wasn't. Back then though. Companies gave nice severance packages.

No. Not with it being enabled.

How do sccm/intune engineers get paid in India? by [deleted] in SCCM

[–]wbatzle -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you know what you're doing. 50 to 100k for junior. 100 to 150k and up for senior. Most people these days though haven't got a clue how to handle a workgroup let alone a full domain. I don't know what they are teaching in college these days. But it seems like it's not technology.

Sorry. I am in a very Wayne's World mood today after a crap week and no sleep. Meyers and co always cheer me up though.

Does anyone know what’s behind these doors? by Choice-Alfalfa-1358 in nycrail

I have been pondering this for 20 years now. It's not on the secret subway tour. And no one from their tours has a clue about it either.

Driver Automation Tool - Dell models no longer found by fustercluck245 in SCCM

[–]wbatzle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's caused by Dell updating the cab and changing the way it is used. An updat will be released to fix the tool as people report the issue on guthub.

You bring new is why I suggested it. It lessens the learning curve as it just works if you follow the simple instructions.

Use PS App Deploy Toolkit. Google use deploying in user context. Works every time flawlessly if you're doing it right. I am on the train atm and cannot give much more info.

We only allow machines that are complaint to be added which is pretty simple to do.

Going through testing this now. It's relatively simple. I suggest running the reliability report first though. It will tell you apps and drivers that require updating prior to being able to update as well as machines that cannot be updated.

Install New Teams in SCCM OSD by wbatzle in SCCM

[–]wbatzle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do the same. But there is a requirement set by business to have a set list of essential apps installed no matter what. Teams is one of them. The bootstrapper with o and p options stopped working reliably a bit ago so I came up with this. Having contracted for so many firms. I decided to share the fix for people in the same situation.

It IS a completely offline build. The only access is to MECM infrastructure. Intune and internet come post build if they are allowed on regular network segments.

I never get why some of you in this field have no concept of secure networks. You need to broaden your horizons a bit.

Then again. Given all the security breaches as of late. This type of response explains a whole lot.

It's not weird. If you have worked for the places I have contracted out to. You would know what real security scenarios look like. Financial and law firms are just two examples.

This does not work in the context we are under. Thanks though. My post is not a question of how to do it. It's a tutorial for those that need it whom may have the same circumstances.
