Question for the InTune users - does it still require you to build plists / xml manually for more advanced restrictions? Because I just about pissed myself laughing when I learned that was a thing

Okay fine, in my naive perception of the world it should be their business because we're all struggling to get through this lovely pandemic and we should all be helping and supporting each other to minimize spreading infections (any infections, because the science isn't available to quickly distinguish between a traditional flu and covid) to other people instead of tossing out the MAH RIGHTS defense whenever someone is asked to be a good neighbor.

But yes, there's a lot of common stuff that's way harder than it should be in Intune.

If it’s the OMA-URI stuff it’s just things they haven’t integrated into the GUI and are all easily accessible and deployable. There are many... quirks with AP/InTune and that never registered for me.

for what it's worth, both my kid and the school nurse's kid were among a group that had to stay home last week due to covid exposure and we were both clear to come to work since we're fully inoculated. we have also managed full in-person classroom attendance all school year with no outbreaks and a total case rate of less than 10% among all staff and students, so it's possible to conduct normal business without putting a bunch of people in the hospital if you're smart and vigilant about it. i agree that working parents should be able to stay home if their kid is sick, but it's a little much to act like the boss is condemning people to death by asking the vaccinated parent of a sick kid to come into the office. the vaccines are good and work well, and the rate of covid infection post-vaccination, as far as anyone knows, is extremely low. you can't expect vaccinated people to keep behaving as though they're just as much of a potential danger as unvaccinated people, because they're not. bob should still wear the mask though.

Intune is much better now, there are ways to ingest ADMX templates, here's the Chrome one https://support.google.com/chrome/a/answer/9102677?hl=en Also it improves on pretty much a weekly basis.

You can write a PowerShell script that will set the keys once and deploy it via the PowerShell scripts option in MEM. You can package a PowerShell script up as an app and push it out that way, with detection rules for all the registry keys so it runs and re-sets the keys if they get changed, if you wanted to "enforce" it. You can do it as a Scheduled Task. They are all not great solutions compared to GPOs, but they can be done.

My loving network admin is who is pissing me off. I shoot him a teams message, hey man new wireless devices can’t pull IP addresses can you take a look and see what’s up. His first response to anyone questioning the network is always, did you check the PC itself. I told him man it’s a buncha devices including my own laptop. Still he insists it’s a PC issue. So I did his job for him and show him this.  Go fix your poo poo dude.

Upon further inspection, you can use your AD username/password. It's not checking to see if there's an object in AD for it. I didn't set this poo poo up.

Pissing me off: our support department implying ownership of a problem that is actually on the customer’s end. Oh you’re over quota? Sure, let me take care of that for you *smashes the “emergency emergency allow everything even if over quota” button* I’ve fixed it on our end, have a nice day. *repeat variations of this behavior weekly for months* Then the customer decides not to renew “because our quota process is broken and they’re sick of calling in every week to have us override it” and I have to investigate and guess what: they’re loving legitimately over quota. Like they should be spending thousands more per year for this volume of data. But support claimed ownership over and over by saying it’s on our end and now the customer thinks our poo poo just doesn’t work.

To be fair, depending on how they're measured performance-wise, that may just be a "looking out for me" move. I know I've had enough situations where I've spelled out "hey look, you've over what your subscription allows, let me get you in contact with your sales rep" to people and they've flown off the handle, sent in nastygrams to management (and left out the bit how they're over quota, just "KYROSIRIS WON'T HELP ME SET UP A THING, gently caress HIM YOUR SUPPORT SUCKS"), etc. etc. Like yeah it's stupid and bad in the long run, but that may be alluding to something being rotten in the support department and the support techs not feeling like they can push back.

This screams "I'm overworked and my supervisor wants me to do whatever it takes to just get them off the phone". Another form of this I see way too often is the Hot Potato. "Yes, I see the problem here. I'm going to transfer your ticket over to the XYZ team, they can help you." (They can't.) Execs always want the support department to "be the heroes", but lovely management turns that into "make other teams the villain".

Devor posted:Nevermind I deleted some records and it's faster now This reminds me of something than happened back in 2006 or so. One of our customers (government agency) ran out of disk space where documents imported into the document management system are initially stored. This was preventing new documents from entering the system (though they were just being dropped off on a server to be pulled in). Shortly after documents are imported and stored on that first copy, they get replicated to additional storage locations. Now, the proper solution here would be to first turn off the job that's attempting to import the documents so it stops bombing. Then you could use the application's platter management tools to validate older volumes to ensure they were properly replicated to the additional storage location(s) and then delete them from the initial copy, making space until you are able to allocate more drive space. Did the customer do that or reach out to us for help? Nope! Instead, the dude just started purging the most recent, not yet replicated batches of documents to free up space. In other words, he permanently deleted thousands of documents that people had either mailed in or drove out to the agency to drop off along with any database records related to them. Of course, they wanted us to provide them a nice report on all of the data that they purged out of the database so they could contact their customers to let them know what documents they need to turn in for the second time. This is not at all covered by support and they didn't want to pay for anything, so instead we pointed them to a folder containing the metadata files generated by the scanning software that should coincide with the period of missing documents.

Ugh. So I deployed a new dev system for a customer to test replatforming to AWS. Our PS guy configures the dev system pointing at their API. The customer calls me over the weekend, the new dev system is basically DDoSing their API. The block our IP and tell us to fix our config and put some rate limiting on it. I stop the dev services, and tell the PS team "hey you guys need to sort this out, I'm leaving this traffic blocked until it's fixed". The PS guy that configured this is now messaging me asking I can fix it. This guy is basically illiterate.

this conversation just happened, almost word for word. - customer emails, ok if you've fixed your system and stop ddosing us, we'll unblock, go ahead and start up your system - PS guy: jmjf, can you start the dev services - Me: no, you can do it yourself, don't you know how to do it? - PS: I do know, but I wanted to check how you do it
