@travisdh1 No, backend database access isn't available to me.

@pete-s yeah that is what I'm feeling as well. . . sadly. This really needs to be somehow capable with the tooling, even if I'm not able to implement it.

I haven't heard of BrightGauge before. Maybe it's big in the market, I don't know.

Regardless of that, it looks very capable on their website but that's because that's what marketing does - makes things look good.

The actual technical capability of the product is unknown until it's put to use. In your case unfortunately it looks like the product can't get the job done.

Maybe you're trying to hammer with a screwdriver or the hammer you have is just crap. In either case the support should be able to help you.

It very well may not be up to task, or it could very well be my limited use of the tool and familiarity with it.

@pete-s yeah that is what I'm feeling as well. . . sadly. This really needs to be somehow capable with the tooling, even if I'm not able to implement it.

@pete-s Thank you for the help, unfortunately it appears I'm limited to PostgresSQL regex like below or directly selecting the installed software from the list of thousands of items.

\b(?!:Microsoft|Anti-Virus)\b

I have no options for a subquery, at least that I can see at the moment.

Wow, media flashback

So nothing?

@scottalanmiller PostreSQL regex

Yeah I found the issue, the environment has MFA enforced, but does not have Modern Authentication enabled.

Just getting approval from the customer before making the change as I'm sure Outlook will prompt for the MFA codes for existing users.

Is anyone else experiencing issues setting up new outlook profiles for O365 users?

There appear to be a litany of open items right now but nothing that specifically says configuring outlook as being impacted.

Have you contacted support?

Yes, just waiting for a reply.

@dashrender said in Need Regex Help:

Is there anyway to pull the data out so you can use the tools you want?

I want to use BrightGauge because I dont want to have to handle the data on an on-going basis. But yes I could export the data, and filter it down to show me just the "These don't have that" in excel which, that is actually already done.

But its still incredibly annoying to have to review.

The end goal is to have a list of systems that are simply lacking one piece of software or another, and to not have to view everything other piece of software with it. So that the lacking software can be installed.

@dustinb3403 said in Need Regex Help:

@pete-s I can't use grep for this specific function as I'm limited regex or known string searching only through BrightGauge.

If you can't make scripts to massage the data in BrightGauge, I don't think it's possible.

That's kind of what I'm feeling. . . but hopes and prayers I can pull something out of my hat. . .

The regex inverse match is

\b(?!:Microsoft|Libre|MyTax)\b

But this will list literally every other piece of software found, and not the exclusions of "I've not found this software on "Bobs-pc" or on "Sarahs-pc"

Have you seen: https://regex101.com/
I got shown that the other day. Looks like it might be of some assistance.

I'm on regexr.com right now but will take a look at regex101.com in a moment.

Worth noting there could of course be spaces in the software name and that the above is just an example of what I'm trying to do.

Hey all,

I need some help with some regex, which I admittedly never use in my day to day.

The goal is I want to search a list of software across multiple systems and key in on 3 specific names and only list the systems that specifically don't have any of those 3 names.

IE

Computer Name | Application
bobs-pc | Microsoft
bobs-pc | Libre
bobs-pc | MyTax
Sarahs-pc | Anti-virus
Sarahs-pc | MyTax
Sarahs-pc | Libre

The output I would like to list

Bobs-pc since it doesn't have Anti-Virus and Sarahs-PC because it doesn't have Microsoft.

Anyone able to help me sort this out?

What's the specific use case for the NAS? But probably synology and their SOHO models.

@dashrender or just don't install Windows 11 Home if you don't plan to give Microsoft more insight into your personal habits.

This in my opinion makes little sense to work around from an end user or implementator standpoint.

With the online account you get better integration to backup systems (OneDrive).which for a home user is a pretty important feature. Among other features.

If you simply don't want these features for.a home device, why bother with Windows 11 at all?

Sounds like you're using this in production, correct?
