About to close out the first day of what I expect to be my first full week at the new office. Lot's of previously mis-managed things,... like Printers and Printer Contracts. They use Meraki APs (kill them with fire!!!)... and well just an otherwise utter mess of things. Glad to be here, hope I can improve on a few things.
Sounds like a few major improvements are already obvious, good luck!
Fast math has me at an $1.25 hr increase just in not getting fuel twice a week..
So yea..
LOL - i thought he was talking about their network.
Uhm yea,.. that too of course… just the issues with the network are with it to have that bonus

First Hugo I thought of was the Hurricane that Hit the East Coast back in 89-90... What is Hugo?

We have some of their stuff. Maybe even that model. People seem to like them. Haven’t heard any complaints

I've got an Amazon Basics version that I use for work. Motor is quite enough I can be adjusting in while on the phone.

With Using Macruim Reflect - can you also image / restore from network drive? We have a unsustainable model of using external USB drives... and I think there are four different drives with different builds. -
@gjacobse I invested in an Uplift desk for my apartment office. As much as I hate parting ways with my money, it was a great decision. In my opinion, anything that gets you on your feet will be worth it.

Have to manually add the network share, but the option is there. Forget doing 1 a time when I had 26 of the things to prep!

Listening to Monster Magnet while I watch our new backup client getting deployed.

It's been one meeting after another;
- Company Zoom call
- Vendor Intune / Autopilot
- Team meeting
- Team Follow up meeting on Autopilot
Can I get my cup yet?
-
Waiting for log off time
-
About to be on the weekly call to discuss change requests.
-
Wondering if anyone else creates a consolidated location of scripts, PS or batch to use at a later date when they have moved on... Generally some bit of code that seems useful elsewhere, and beneficial to have...

GAH!
I'm also for doing things the 'old way' in a lot of cases,.. but JEEZ... Move forward with how you create / disable / deal with accounts in AD/O365... Insanity!!!!

It depends on who owns the code, you or your company.
-
@gjacobse Yeah, I usually place them on my Github account.

Well,.. right now, they manually do nearly everything.... and they do it badly!
People are left in AD as disabled... sigh fine.. but they are still in the GAL!! Like really? do you really want email 'flowing' to a user that isn't here anymore?
And installing software or setting Bitlocker. Manually done.. like REALLY!!... in five minutes I wrote a batch script to do that....

Don't know that 'my compiled' scripts warrant that. Most of the code is pulled from here and there from GOOGLE, with reference links (not my code, so I can't claim it)... I just graft it into what I am trying to do. Not the 'best way' some times... but it's gotten me the results I need.
Case of Bitlocker, they were manually going into Bitlocker, enable, then save file (text).
Fast scripted that;
Map drive
Enable bitlocker with recoverypassword /key export to file on mapped drive. poof. I save myself almost ten minutes of time. -

Why wouldn't it? It consolidates everything to a single location.
Conveniently, you can also use a script to pull what you want right from the git repo.I think even powershell alias's curl to something now. so
curl https://yourgit/raw/wtf.ps1and boom there is your thing you need.
