@gjacobse said in Flushing GPOs:
Is there a way - once the GPOs are deleted to force purge them from the work stations? I seriously need to start at net zero to fix a prolifera of issues.
The GPOs action a setting, they don't remember what the setting used to be. So no amount of "removing" a GPO will make something "go back to the way it was before." GP doesn't work that way.
If you have a light switch, and you make a GPO that says "Turn the Light to On", then every time it runs, it makes sure that the switch is in the "on" position.
But it never records if it was "on" or "off" before the first time GP was used. So if you remove that GPO, it just stops enforcing it to "on", but it has no way to know how to revert it to the original state. GP doesn't include the capability of reversion.

This was lunch yesterday. Just had a croissant today. But did not get a chance to post the pics yesterday.
You're not helping my diet Scott
I'm trying to eat all of the yummy food before you are tempted by it.
I've been eating nothing but Saladworks for lunch for a month and I go home to Chicken. On the plus side I think I lost 15 pounds.
From depression?

Torvalds wades into CTS Labs' AMD chip security report
https://www.fudzilla.com/news/45819-torvalds-wades-into-cts-labs-amd-chip-security-report
"looks more like stock manipulation than a security advisory".
"If you replace the BIOS or the CPU microcode with an evil version, you might have a security problem?' Yeah."
"I just found a flaw in all of the hardware space. No device is secure: if you have physical access to a device, you can just pick it up and walk away. Am I a security expert yet?"
"News flash: If an attacker has the root password, your system is already completely hosed. Everything else is just details."
"It's the security industry that has taught everybody to not be critical of their findings."
He also thinks, "there are real security researchers". For many of the rest, it's all about giving even the most minor security bug. In Torvalds' words: "A catchy name and a website is almost required for a splashy security disclosure these days."
"security people need to understand that they look like clowns because of it. The whole security industry needs to just admit that they have a lot of sh*t going on, and they should use -- and encourage -- some critical thinking."
This seems to sum it up. This is all way too "weird" to be authentic.

So that you are ready to just dive into something real?
I don't see a lot of use for Docker in IT circles. Good for testing out a product, but not how you want to run it when you are really getting down to brass tacks.

No need for a battery, it's better than that. It has non-volatile cache.

If you like "old style" RPG I suggest you Doom & Destiny Advanced. Or the "first" one, just Doom & Destiny.
Interesting. Seems like they are kids in the real world but also become their alter egos in the D&D campaign they are playing? Is that right?
That sounds like Knights of Pen & Paper, ha ha.
Sounds like an 80s cartoon.
I presume that the drive letters are changing because the volume name is changing. The system sees a new drive, so you get a new letter.
Seems like they could have handled that better. Sounds like perhaps the real issue is that the environment is a little bit toxic. Too many "they'd see this as rude" things that leave them free to do whatever they want.

@CCWTech said in External drive letters changing:
I have a server with only 2 USB ports. OS is Windows Server 2016 STD.
Since I need more than that to plug in external usb drives I purchased a USB powered hub.
It's been working fine for a long time, however just recently after a reboot the drive letters are changing from what they are manually assigned in Disk Management and even the name of the volume is changing.
I have read about clearing the drive attributes in diskpart and also the possibility of the server now detecting the USB hub as a new device each time.
Has anyone worked on this issue before and what did you do to resolve it?
Are you properly ejecting the USB drives before taking them out? I think sometimes they don't fully clear and then you have a letter conflict. I'm not 100% sure on this though..
Not removing them at all. Just after a reboot.
Oh, that is much worse.

Oh you know, get home after a long day and my pc won't boot.... Well rather won't post... Turns on fine, but that lovely red cpu led is there.... Oh joy
Well that sucks. Time for a beer.
Rower85 said to do this...
Open Run and type "Diskpart"
type "LIST VOLUME"
note witch volume number that you want to autoassign on boot
Create a textfile on C:\ named: diskpart.txt
Put this in the textfile:
select volume "drive number"
assign letter="drive letter to assign"
(in the " " brackets, input your stuff, also you do not need the "")
Open Run and type notepad
Put this in:
diskpart /s c:/diskpart.txt
click File > Save As...
locate C:\ and change File Name to "diskpart.bat" then change Save as type: to All Files and press Save
Now go to Task Scheduler in the Admin section on the Control panel.
Make a new folder in the "Windows" sub folder named "Diskpart"
rightclick the "Diskpart" folder
click "Create Basic Task..."
name it to "Diskpart" and click "Next >"
select "When the computer starts" click "Next >"
select "Start a program" click "Next >"
click "Browse..."
select the "Diskpart.bat" file you saved on C:, click "Next >"
select "Open the Properties dialog for this task when I click Finish" click "Finish"
Properties should come up, now select "Run with highest privileges"
click "OK"
Awesome, enjoy. What is the application (or is this just for some insane house project?)
Sounds like a vendor issue.
Impressive, that's not the easiest game.

Apparently CNN reported on this 2 years ago.
https://www.cnet.com/news/netpicks-everything-you-need-to-know-about-netflix-originals/Well, it's a little confusing. You have original-originals -- shows created and driven by Netflix, like "House of Cards," and the upcoming "Daredevil."
Then, there are also continuation properties, ones Netflix picked up from cable TV and made additional seasons of, like "Trailer Park Boys" or "Arrested Development." Finally, there are exclusive shows of which Netflix is the sole distributor within the US, like "The Fall."
That's pretty common. US networks have traditionally referred to things as being originals when they are just the first to air them in the country.
@DustinB3403 or planning for a night out on the town, and dressing up, calling all of your friends, pre-paying for drinks and dinner, running on credit card debt to do it, taking an Uber there, and then deciding not to get out of the car while all of your friends are waiting on you.
