I've not heard anything good or bad regarding Jamf in a long while.

To ask some probing questions, what type of business are you working in?

Would you be supporting a single site or business or multiple?

@Oksana Microsoft should really learn that a PIN is not a Password.

Forcing Windows Hello on businesses that opt to not have E3 or higher licenses and then forcibly making people use a PIN is just plain stupid.

There is a registry edit that can be made to disable Window Hello, but it's annoying to do so as it's a piecemeal approach.

It's Microsoft's way of reminding you, heavily, that Ubuntu is free.

While I agree, the focus would be to still have SSO on your azure bound device. I've never tried to bind Ubuntu or other linux distro to Azure.

@Obsolesce Yeah I got that far along, what I need to pull is a specific string from the output.

I have a few other ways that I was manipulating the string, like writing the entire output to a file and then pulling the 23rd line (for example) but that literally gets everything on that line.

When all I want is the InstallDate

Get-ChildItem -path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\' | W
here-Object -FilterScript { $_.GetValue("DisplayName") -eq 'Software' }

Gets me the content I want, now I gotta filter out how I can pull just the single string I need...

Hey All, Hoping I can get some help as I'm just not thinking straight.

I want to be able to use reg query $variablePathName /f /InstallDate /s

But I'm being told that $VariablePathName isn't a valid path (no dur) yet it is if I run the prior command which gives me the path.

How can I use reg query to search using a variable?

Contemplating all of my life choices as I swear I'm being gaslit at work continuously.

Not sure if it's time to update the resume or what..

When you realize it's for normal people, not computer nerds. People into any genre don't watch reality TV of that genre. People into computers find him annoying, people who find people into computers weird and can't understand them find him annoying because he fills their vision of what a computer nerd would be. Computer people are just offended.

Yup, cant stand the guy, waste of oxygen imo.

That uptime is rookie numbers.

Death scrolling ML, been a while since I've had a chance to post here. How is everyone doing?

Eating some grub, while wanting to go to the Gym. . . also had to let someone go earlier today.

@scottalanmiller Finally. . . I have a customer who insists that WINS is as good as it'll ever get. . .

Now maybe I can put their nose into it. .

@scottalanmiller said in Energy efficiency?:

It's been a little while. I can only buy them every 9 months or so since they aren't sold in this part of the world.
Weird that they would go up in price when no new models have come out in so long.

More like they aren't shipped to those parts of the world, but also it isn't unusual that the price has gone through the roof on these.

Supply and demand. . .

There are likely thousands of these sitting on a dock/cargo ship just waiting to get delivered to the outlets that sell em.

Just got back from the beach. A friend's dog was just hit by a truck and I'm coordinating getting him to a hospital.

You had time to stop and post to ML?

100 Days. The wine making simulator is free today.

Use a simulator or try your hand at Toilet Bowl Wine. . . lol

@JaredBusch I get it, 100%.

I had a customers entire production shop (who actually has public IP address subnet for their LAN) who came to a complete halt calling in for assistance in sorting out what the hell happened.

Microsoft claimed this was a security feature. . .

@Dashrender said in Unable to mark NAS location trusted in Office:

is K mapped with a name or an IP?

By IP.

I assume it will work when I remap it with the DNS entry.

Had this same issue, had to map via dns name rather than ip address.

Microsoft claims this is a feature.
