klosterdev posted:This was a new one. User's system did a firmware update, and when the user logged in Windows started spitting out errors that the TPM is broken and the user couldn't sign into any M365 stuff. Windows uses the TPM to handle the credential manager store, which handles the 365 login data if you didn't log on using WHfB or a security key. If the firmware update hosed up as you say (like by switching from CPU virtual to discrete or vice versa) you are going to have a lot of failures.

Dandywalken posted:45 minute call with a beligerent older student who claimed that she had never received an e-mail address nor any information regarding where/when her classes were being held. Insisted I stay on the line while she narrated everything on her screen, put ME on hold twice, and was unable to give any information on the errors she encountered after I tried to walk her through the entire new-student process. Confirmed things worked on my end, and eventually she accepted that Id text further instructions (our tutorial pdf which I had provided but she insisted was of no use because she cant possibly read it while on the phone. An iPhone of course, so my familiarity was minimal.) Mobile readability for documentation is a real issue, especially for items for road warriors like vpn. Funny as it sounds, you might want to print the tutorial pdf in pamphlet sized paper and keep a few copies stocked for cases where they cannot (or won't) read it on their mobile screen.

I am currently being tasked to make sure the installed apps will be auto updated but having zero budget until proven impossible to do otherwise. It seems that if you want to have your intune managed computers update the software present using winget, the standard praxis is to deploy a freeware software https://github.com/Weatherlights/Winget-AutoUpdate-Intune to pretty much trigger "winget update --all" at logon. I kinda hate this windows "linuxification" where even something as mundane as software updating requires a network of scripts and daemons running in the background. Winget is a microsoft product, why the hell cannot intune handle this instead of "random package 1001" ?

Thanks Ants posted:Is there any documented cases of USB PD supplies causing enough interference to make a computer close to them but not powered by them unstable? I had a patch of instability on my desktop (a Lenovo micro thing) a few months back that went away almost as soon as it started and I never pinned down to a specific component. The other day I got one of those mugs that has a Qi charging pad to keep a drink warm, plugged it into the spare Dell laptop charger I have on my desk, and my system instability came back a few hours afterwards. I then used it to charge my work laptop and the system was again unstable. Office gifted us usb-c Bluetooth earphones. If I charge them on my two outputs charger with my MacBook plugged, the Mac will go bugfuck insane, dropping the cloned monitor and hard lock.

Dick Trauma posted:I feel like I'm finally ready to get Intune/Autopilot set up here but every time I try to go through the documentation I feel overwhelmed. It's like every step requires branching off into half a dozen other pieces of documentation. It’s convoluted only if you want to enroll preexisting machines, otherwise it’s rather straightforward (set a deployment profile in intune, allocate said profile to all machines).

Thanks Ants posted:Make a device group (dynamic or manual depending on what you want) and set the autopilot enrolment on that group to add the members to autopilot. You'll be able to watch the devices coming into autopilot, at which point you can reset them if you want and they'll come back as autopilot devices. Autoenroll always had issues with me, I’ve found the old powershell in oobe https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/Get-WindowsAutopilotInfo/3.9 to be more reliable albeit more time consuming.

One thing worth of mention, if you can provide a valid bill of sale Apple will begrudgingly remove the device from ABM/ASM but there is no way in hell you can do the same for autopilot. If you buy a former business device be very careful if you see globocorp asset tags, cause there is a good chance it’s autopilot registered and it's going to be a mess if you wipe it with another pro license. Windows 10/11 home doesn’t support autopilot so you can sidestep the issue that way.

Thanks Ants posted:You get an opportunity to change the model string on ThinkPads when you do a BIOS flash, so I wonder if that's enough to cause the hardware ID to not match the one stored in Autopilot. I think the core item provided to autopilot is the MAC address of the motherboard network devices, replacing the serial shouldn’t help much. Autopilot systems are hardcoded within the old windows store so I fear that MS won’t touch it too much in the future to avoid major breakages.

That will do far more damage.

Thanks Ants posted:Can’t speak for the wider EU, in a UK civil case if the other side claimed a message wasn’t legitimate you’d get an expert witness who could tell the court about your companies email storage practises, the other side would make their arguments, and the judge would decide. Is the UK subject to eidas 2.0 or did they split before ratification in local law? In the eidas framework, anything that doesn’t pass thru a ERDS or QERDS service is equivalent to a written note, since there is no solid certification on the email sender being genuine.
