    • RE: winget vs choco

      @scottalanmiller said in winget vs choco:

      @gjacobse Choco is an interface to Nuget.

      Winget, I believe, is for the MS Store and managing the installed programs dialogue. So related, but not overlapping.

      So - Likely would need to use both as some packages are available on both, but then some are only available in one or the other...

    • RE: WINGET: Not available on Win10.

      @gjacobse said in WINGET: Not available on Win10.:

      Why would Winget not be available on a brand new device with the most updated build?

      All my reading has stated that it is native since 1709..

      Okay - been to many days since I found this. Seems that yes,.. on a fresh OEM install of Win10 it is not there.

      After being fully updated it has been there. So - might just be the Media Creation Build in use that it isn't on. Which is fine with me.

      Just had an iPad decide to switch the Ethernet IP setting back to Automatic and it assigned a link-local IP (169.254.x.x) and I'm thankful I finished Network+ classes cause I recognized the IP and was able to have it fixed in 2 minutes (set back to manual and update IP address ) - feeling accomplished today so far.

      One of the occasional cases when it’s not DNS. Or the five computer I had here last week where it was DHCP.

      Flush and shorten the lease period…

    • Win10: reset User security

      Rather than to have to rebuild the user profile- is there a process that would reset the users security on the documents?

      Mainly seems to be OneDrive. Can open document in the browser and then push to the app, but the OneDrive save on the computer won’t open.

      Save the browser to the local computer and compare- both files show the same security options; allow full control:
      System
      User
      Administrator

      One file opens, the other access denied.

      The spam bots have gotten so bad that we are moving to admin approval on new accounts.

      I guess you are seeing them before I do and clearing them as I haven’t seen any for a day or so.

      But I understand the move. Will the system purge unapproved accounts or are you still having to do that?

    • RE: Outlook / Office documents: You do not have permissions.

      Not totally certain on this, but here are some additional factors.

      • recent Windows updates
      • Dell Disk Protection (DDPE)in use

      Thus far, the following has been working:

      Outlook

      • Rename OST file and allow to rebuild

      Word, Excel, etc

      • Sign out of the O365 account
      • Delete all O365 / Office saved credentials
      • Delete all folders that end with CACHE in the %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\
      • Delete Word Normal.dotm
      • Delete the Auto Correct file (no aways) at C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office - generally just deleted them all
      • Sign into Office using Word or Excel

      Since making the changes to block spam, the spam accounts seem to have gotten SO much worse. We've never gotten so many before.

      Heh - yea... I've noticed ... but at least it's not just plumbers and hot water heaters in Texas... Nice to see a little broader spam offering... Though I wish they would just quit. Know it's generally a bot, or what not.. just annoying for all here to collaborate

    • RE: What Are You Doing Right Now

      @scottalanmiller said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

      Just had a user, who never once posted anything, come in and after EIGHT years, and ask for their account to be disabled. Which since it is an unused account is pretty easy to do. But, weird. Who makes an account, and then EIGHT years later comes back searching for it, finds it unused and pointless (and remember, anonymous) and wants to go through the effort of deleting it? The weird things that happen on forums.

      I saw that, and in my days I have not known you to be concerned with inactive accounts. And generally, there is a direct way to ask for an account removal over a public request... Meh - Not unheard of,.. but generally rare....

    • Outlook / Office documents: You do not have permissions.

      Run into a few users here of late that are having trouble getting Outlook to open with the error they don’t have permission to the data file.

      Renaming the .OST file and allowing Outlook to regenerate seems to resolve the issue. In some cases you get an error that the AutoCorrect file (C:\users\username\appdata\roaming\microsoft\office\mso1033.acl could not be saved. The file may be read-only or you may not have permission to modify the file.

      Additionally, some files on the desktop (C:\Users\Username\Onedrive -company\desktop) are inaccessible. And if you try to copy them to the users folder (c:\users\username\folder) you get an error where you need to provide administrative permissions to do so.

      One user mentioned a recent MS Update last night - has any one else seen this behavior? One suggestion is to rebuild the userprofile - not an easy task on those users remote accessing via the VPN.

      @gjacobse I'm dealing with a MFP device that prints but wrong font so everything's all messed on formatting; AND then they also want it to fax; through a Grandstream ATA to a SIP service and that keep failing. Trying to convince them to move to an HTTPS fax service instead

      We have several desk MFPs, as well as office MFPs,.. and Zebra's.. whee.. oh the fun. Yea,.. time to move to a fax service - modernize that analog crap.

      Printers (and their evil offspring FAX) need to die a horrible death

      Don’t disagree, but I don’t get that choice… no faxes,.. but plenty of printers. But that’s a shipping environment.
