I have a slight issue.

A few years ago we purchased a bunch of new Windows 10 Pro computers with an OEM license. We wiped them all and installed our own image and used a KMS volume license key to activate them.

Since then we've sold half the business and in a few weeks we'll be handing over all the computers. How is licensing going to be affected here since KMS requires constant check in to remain activated? What are my options?

The new business will need to move it all to their own KMS server, or they can reinstall the OS from the USB installer and let it activate using the key stored in the system firmware.

The bat with a ZING
I am getting to grips with intune. I migrated the iPad airs across, but because they don't support shared user scenarios, I've only ever used MDM on a device centric way. Intune seems way more user centric.

For BYOD windows devices, I'm confused as to how domain joined devices will be affected, as scopes only affect users (I think) I don't want the same policies on BYOD devices as devices onsite.

We have SSO with AD connect which has a habit of signing the device into the MDM by adding a work account.

Should I really be designing policies in a way that intune is meant for both scenarios, or is there a way to achieve what I want?
If I should be using intune for both, not everyone needs a license. On shared computers I don't know what will happen if some users sign in with / without an intune license.

Any help is appreciated!

OEM image every machine on the way out the door?

Sep 30, 2013

gently caress this KMS poo poo is a mess and I'm so confused. I wasn't the one that installed the KMS server and I don't typically deal with Microsoft licensing too much so this is a bit out of my scope. Though looking into this, the problem seems worse than I thought. Originally years ago when we purchased the machines, we bought one volume license key to give us imaging rights. Though instead of using the OEM media, they used the VL media I believe. Not sure if this was the right thing to do or not.

I installed VAMT and did a scan and a few computers appear to be licensed with a MAK, most are licensed with a GVLK, a bunch are licensed with RETAIL with a 3V66T key which appears to be computers that were upgraded from Windows 7 or 8 and are digitally licensed I think?

What I don't understand though is how the GVLK keys work. When I go on the KMS host and look up the installed product keys with "slmgr.vbs /dvi all" the only key installed is our Windows Server 2016 KMS key. I don't see Windows 10 Pro anywhere, though when I do a "slmgr.vbs /dvi" from one of the GVLK Windows 10 machines it says licenced through our KMS host. I tried to switch one computer from the GVLK key to use our MAK volume key but it came up invalid and wouldn't install.

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Moey posted:

I'd love to but unfortunately we can't. The plan is we're unjoining them from our domain, joining to theirs, and their going to use forensit software to copy the profile and call it a day. I believe because this new company is a one-man IT dept.

The Server 2016 key on the KMS licenses Windows 10 and below (as well as Server 2016 and below). I don't have access to our volume licensing portal but when i was helping someone else with updating our KMS keys, there was a single key for both desktop and server OS, and you could only have one loaded at a time.

So that Server 2016 Key in your KMS is the correct license key to activate Windows 10 in addition to Server 2016.

E: If the devices all came with OEM licenses and you want to use those I suspect it's going to be some combination of removing the existing key info (slmgr /upk), installing a Windows 10 "default" key (I don't think this is :filez: but I'm not going to link to one just in case, but they're easy to find online) and then ensure that device can activate.

It looks like the OEM key will also be burnt into the BIOS if the device came with Win 10, so you may have to extract that key for each device and install it (instead of a default key). this site has a number of ways to get at that OEM key, but the easiest way is probably the WMI method there. So you'd remove the existing KMS install key, install the devices OEM key, then activate it. Should be pretty easy to script out.

So if they were to purchase one VL key for Windows 10 and setup a KMS server, would this solve all our issues?

I don't know enough about what you actually need to purchase to be in compliance (vs what is needed to just make the activation warnings go away...) but the easiest is probably going to be what I added in my edit, to reactivate the devices with their OEM key.

Although part of that will be that the edition they're running now has to match what the OEM version was, you won't be able to activate an Enterprise install with the Pro key, but I would imagine if you re imaged with Pro you should be able to activate with the OEM pro key.

I don't know if this is the case anymore, but in Windows 7 there was a difference between OEM, retail, MAK and VL/KMS installs and it wasn't trivial to switch between them.

Yeah as far as I know from what I've been finding on Google, the OEM and VL media are different and OEM keys can only be activated on the OEM media. Worth a try though.

I might just hand these over though and say "You have 180 days to reinstall Windows" since the KMS activation seems to stay activated for 180 days.

Talk to me about doing SAML for SS with CLOUD APPLICATIONS

I see I can pay $2/user for Okta or OneLogin. Looks easy to install. However, x 500 users = $1,000/month which is a big cost for a single application.

Is there something I can setup internally that will either be a one-time cost, or free? I remember a million years ago having to use some app that made me go to an internal website and copy/paste a key and it was a PITA to sign in.

Then ADFS is what you want. It’s also easy to federate with AzureAD if you do move that way in the future.

Doing ADFS right can take a little bit of planning. The minimal recommended configuration is 2 nodes + lb + wap, but if it’s just this application and only internal facing you might be able to get away with less.

But that's for your app, not some generic app out on the internet from another company, right?

What are the requirements for participating in Okta Cloud Connect?
As a cloud app vendor, you need an app integration publicly listed in the Okta Application Network that supports SSO (via SAML) and user provisioning. Not yet integrated with Okta? Get started.

Is Okta Cloud Connect really free?
Yes! Okta Cloud Connect is free for both you and your customers for an unlimited time period, and for an unlimited number of users.

Nope, this is their “first hit is free” strategy to get customers. Install AD connector, import users into Okta, set up your app (be it one they have in the gallery or a custom SAML app) and call it a day.

E: after closer reading of the data sheet it only covers apps that are in the gallery and not a custom SAML app, drat.

It uses delegated authentication through the AD agent to AD so it’s not like it’s a separate login. You can also install an IIS plugin on prem to set up integrated windows authentication so people don’t have to enter credentials when on-network.

Obviously you're more familiar with it, but the website seems to imply that in order to use the free solution you need to be using an app that is part of their marketplace. I don't see anything obvious saying you can setup a generic SAML endpoint.

The free tier stays free, I just recommend going the Office 365 trial route so you can log in with a corporate MS account that uses your domain, rather than having to use a personal one and then change permissions later. The worst case scenario would have you adding a single Exchange Online license to a tenant to keep the whole thing alive.
