      Fighting the good GPO fight.

      I love,... err hate GPOs.. I need to review a few to understand how things are being deployed / set. (eye roll).

      Why do you hate GPOs? I love them!
      They are window's version of ansible as far as I know.

      Because they are great when they work as designed. and suck when they don't.

      Isn't that the case with any management system?

      To a point, but GPOs are a pain to manage, especially when just looking at them for the first time. Not nearly so quick to look at and understand like Ansible/Salt

      If you open the settings tab, it will show you only the things changed for that policy.. but yeah.. reading this vs reading a text file for Ansible is a lot harder.

        And they lack tools. Looking at a GPO often requires all kinds of annoying "remote into a desktop on the network, attach to the server, look at a small, remote GUI" and on and on.

        Ansible I would typically either use a "straight to the source" web editor like GitLab has which is gorgeous and fast. Or use something like VS Code on my local machine. Even the Microsoft provided tooling for Ansible blows their tools for GPO out of the water. If we look at Microsoft's effort to make products accessible and usable, they seem to believe in Ansible far and away more than GPO. GPO tools make it clear that the developers at MS see it as the red headed stepchild.

          True, they haven't really updated it in 20 years.

                  Writing an img for the rPi4. The ‘smart’ TV in the basement is yutz,.. and for whatever reason the Amazon Firestick is shunning my WiFi… so screw it. I can do more with a rPi4 anyway…

                  Plex viewer and Kodi and desktop to boot,.. on a 65” screen.

                      @nadnerb .. pretty bloddy shitfully to be honest.

                      we were in lock up about 4 weeks ago for a week, looks like we'll be locked up for at least 2 weeks, thanks to the tardiness of the nsw govt.

                      holiday looks lost again, 2nd year in a row.

                      this is beginning to fuck with me. i'm lucky, i live in the bush and i'm older, but the younger ones in the city & suburbs must be beginning to go nuts.

                      Understandable. As cliché as it sounds, the holiday will be all the sweeter once you get there.

                      Hang in there mate. Loking forward to hearing that you've crossed the border into the Wait Awhile state... even if it's a while off.

                                      If you don't have a PC with a TPM chip by 2025 then wtf u doin?

                                      subscribe to their new windows 365, they will probably release a thin client version of windows for free, wouldn't surprise me lol.

                                          Just don't use windows.

                                          But the reality is 2025 is pretty far off and I suspect almost all equipment today that doesn't have TPM, will have been cycled out of the market that Microsoft is targeting.

                                            because I couldn't be stuffed, i've not been following it, but can you only run Windows 11 on PCs with TPM / TPM2???

                                            If you don't have a PC with a TPM chip by 2025 then wtf u doin?

                                            subscribe to their new windows 365, they will probably release a thin client version of windows for free, wouldn't surprise me lol.

                                            Just don't use windows.

                                            But the reality is 2025 is pretty far off and I suspect almost all equipment today that doesn't have TPM, will have been cycled out of the market that Microsoft is targeting.

                                            Oh I'm not.
                                            I'm going to have to check, I'm not in any way feeling positive that the machines that I've bought in the last 2 years have all had 2.0 TPMs, and I will still be using them in 5 years. My scans might prove me different.
