      @scottalanmiller said in Changing Installation Location for MicroSIP Installed via Chocolatey:

      By default, installing MicroSIP using Chocolatey causes the install to go to an inappropriate data folder location and is only available for the admin installing user, rather than for the end users of the Windows system. Does anyone have any experience or ideas in changing the installation location so that system users can actually use MicroSIP when installed and maintained using choco?

      Asking for @Dashrender and @romo as well.

      I think this might work:
      choco install microsip -ia "'/D=C:\SomeDirectory'"

      choco install microsip -ia "'/D=C:\temp'"

      Did install it to C:\temp for me

      Is it working for non-admin users?

      Yep, I can run the .exe from my C:\temp. You'll probably have to create a shortcut for a user tho.

      yep, I just tried it - I pushed to c:\program files\microsip

      and non admins can run it.

      and you're right, the shortcut is put on the installing admin's desktop, and nothing in the start menu.

      MicroSIP - open source portable SIP softphone based on PJSIP stack for Windows OS.

      https://www.microsip.org/

      It says right on the website itโ€™s a portable app, why would you expect a desktop icon or anything on the start menu?

      There is a portable version, sure. But there is also a non-portable version.

      How do various people do this?

      Re: Next steps with SaltStack

      @marcinozga said in Next steps with SaltStack:

      Not salt, but I used https://chocolatey.org/packages/choco-upgrade-all-at which creates the same task, that runs choco upgrade all -y. If salt is using windows task scheduler, then it should just work.

      Does that run as the admin account? Users have no rights to run this.

      Running the choco install command requires local admin rights - so I assumed either - it ran as system OR it would ask for the creds of the current admin user being used to run the installer.

      Clearly you found that it runs as system.

      @JaredBusch said in Chocolatey not available after being installed through ScreenConnect:

      I guess you could cycle the screenconnect client service. That should do the same.

      This did it; thanks. It's the only working solution short of a reboot. I did not want to connect to the client with SC so I pushed a re-install, it was current, so it just went through the motions and restarted the services. Perfect for my needs.

      i wanted an easier way to copy files to multiple folders and have the folder hierarchy duplicated within parent folders, in other words I wanted to see more stuff in more places all at once.

      Q-Dir works pretty well and it seems to work accurately with Onedrive which is a bonus, not all of them do, actually Q-Dir is the only one I've found that can display Onedrive statuses or statii for files and folders.

      I like to know if any other alternatives have the Onedrive status functionality.

      Using noop would be useful when you are checking on the status of a machine that you don't necessarily manage.

      The specific package adobereader is a horrible example though.

      Because until this month, you installed adobereader-update which also installed adobereader first as part of the package.

      But now, suddenly, adobereader is all that is needed.

      I like the way MBS (as how Microsoft defines as "Modern Backup Solutions") work. Most do CBT very well, like Veeam, SC-DPM, and other modern solutions.

      I literally refer to these as legacy backups, lol.

      @obsolesce said in Creating Scheduled Task with Powershell - Using specific user account:

      I know this post is old, but I've found doing scheduled tasks with SaltStack is insanely simple and very effective lately... so much more than using MS Group Policy.

      https://docs.saltstack.com/en/latest/ref/modules/all/salt.modules.win_task.html

      I really want to get back into learning saltstack again.

      Here's an example of a task that goes to all minions it's supposed to go to... and it "just works". No AD required.
      Also, using SaltStack to sync that .ps1 it runs from GitLab:

      @gjacobse So basically you want to iterate through a list of computers the same script correct? So do you have a list of computers? What are other steps on your script? because what we can do is the following

      *$computers = import-csv -Path "c:\script\computers.csv" foreach ($oldname in $computers){ Rename-Computer -NewName $newname -DomainCredential domain\admin -Restart}

      This assumes you have a CSV file with a oldname and new name columns with computer names.

      @syko24 said in ZeroTier client 1.2.2 is out:

      @JaredBusch - Would be similar to the way ScreenConnect updates.

      ScreenConnect only updates when I tell it to.

      Correct, I just meant that the update does not require the user to have admin permissions to push that update. Would be nice if Zerotier offered a similar feature.

      @Ambarishrh said in Scoop- Chocolatey alternative:

      How is Scoop different to Chocolatey?

      Doesn't pollute your path. Where possible, Scoop puts your program shims in a single directory and just adds that to your path

      Doesn't use NuGet. NuGet is a great solution to the problem of managing software library dependencies. Scoop avoids this problem altogether: each program you install is isolated and independent.

      These two seem to be at odds with one another - if not, please educate me.
      I suppose the "where possible" is the exception ; ๐Ÿ™‚
