@notverypunny I do have that in both of my faculty and student images. Some faculty workstations are just too much of a pain to reimage. They have document solution software, the government financial aid stuff which took a lot of patches to get working reliably because their database runs on Access. It is for these systems I want it working reliably.

Yeah, I get it. One of my former gigs was in the construction industry. I avoided re-imaging / reformatting most machines there unless necessary, too many specialized applications for estimating and design.
For your Office 2019 issue, I expect you've already looked at conflicts due to existing crud on the machine? Like the O365 garbage that probably comes shipped, or is it auto-installed now with the build updates?

@notverypunny It is the same Windows 10 image I use for everyone. I image every new piece for hardware that comes my way. We have Windows 10 Education version. Yes when I image I get rid of most things I can. So we are talking about identical systems where 25% just hang and never install. I thought it was network related but I don't think so now.

@jmoore I've never had great success running office installers (2013 / 2016) from a network share (which is what I assume you're trying to do based on the networking theory). I always copied the files over to the machine or did up a deployment package that cached the installer locally before executing.
-
@notverypunny I have been trying both ways. It does the same thing when I use powershell to copy over the folder to the target's c:\ drive and run from there. I also went to the machine personally and it will not run. I went to another machine close by and do the same thing and it will run. When I go to machines personally I carry a flash drive with the folder and configuration files all inside and then just run from cmd or powershell so the process is identical. Some just don't work though and I'm trying to figure out why.
-
@jmoore Windows event logs any help, or are they as cryptic as usual?

At the airport, flying to Houston then San Diego, ready to see the beach

@notverypunny I looked but didnt see anything meaningful. I'm not good at deciphering those so could just be me lol

This dog gets me up so early. Up at 6 to walk her. Then up at 7 to feed her. Then 7:30 she is out again.
Made a pot of coffee. Did the dishes. Finally at my desk.
Need dog photo.

Good morning everyone! The crazy dog decided to get me up at four thirty, then now.

Put some skates on one or more of your children, and hand them each a leash attached to said dog, and turn them all loose and watch the hillarity ensue. Then, your dog will no longer want to go out at 4:30 AM... it will be too tired, ha ha.

You never sleep anyway.

Took a wall out last night in a new property we bought, I'm not stiff or sore, but I could definitely deal with still being asleep.

As a formal FYI I'm moving over to Republicofit.com, updated keepass etc. I'm done with Mangolassi.
F that place! Bunch of amateurs over there.

Jared was talking to a vendor that claimed that they had not heard of ML, but were active on RepublicofIT, lol.
