It's a social problem, not a technical one.

Related to Scott? 🙂

Nope.

But if the M.2 is completely dead it won't power up at all.

Right, that's what it is booting from to run DART.

@gjacobse said in SCCM: Configuration Manager Properties; Run all actions:

We have noticed that unless you run all actions in SCCM:CM on the PC, it doesn’t update correctly.

While I can go to CMP in Control Paul and select/run each is there a way to run this from the CLI?

Asking as I am also searching,..

Yes- there is, in PS.

Found on poweshellbros.com. Update later when I can

@dbeato said in M.2: Initialize Drive:

@gjacobse At this point if data is important you should use a data recovery company to see if they can get the drive and then you can decrypt it.

Yup-
State device no my problem anymore.

@scottalanmiller said in VULTR NJ location: Partial Power failure.:

But how did you determine that? I just looked at my servers and their specs only match server class Xeon processors (Skylake 16MB L3) so not sure how it is possible for them to be consumer.

I don't remember exactly. A couple of years ago you could determine that there was actually no xeon of that architecture that would fit with the GHz. Since they are obscuring the actual CPU in their linux kernel you can't read the model number outright. I going from memory here, but that was the gist of it.

Honestly the best thing in my opinion is put k3os on it and run the stuff in a single node Kubernetes cluster. You'll get experience with k8s and the applications use very little resources when deployed this way.

@gjacobse said in PXE Boot & Software deployment:

What is your preference on PXE Boot deployment and software deployment?

SCCM and Software Center seem to be a joke here. Although it could be the team responsible for managing it.

We have a tremendous amount of issues with PXE Boot deployments, not installing the right image and thus nothing is installed or installed right ( Office 365, Adobe, VPN software, etc).

If the agent isn’t right you delete from ADUC and SCCM and start over..

We are lucky if Software Center works,... some times.

Published software packages break on a regular basis, aren’t available to install due to GPO, and you can’t run it ( that my group has found) in an elevated state for applications the user doesn’t see; not all applications are published to everyone...

We use Intune for ~10k devices across a handful of countries and is working great for device and software deployment.

I agree with this. Intune is replacing SCCM functionality in the best way possible.

Same. I just tried also. Annoying as hell when I know I have seen it.

No kidding, I know I've seen it too.

I know I've seen that happen before as well, so make that 3. I just don't have time to look at the moment.

@gjacobse said in Fail2Ban: Failed to access sock path:

Since that is a screen shot, it appears that some parts of the code is cut off.

You are not listening. I said previously posted.

Thus, you need to look before that.

There in the actual .local file I did post, you will see an action listed. In the settings of said action is one of those options.

I posted that screenshot of with the intentional size because it contains the comment regarding what each does as well as the format.

Actually, I was and am listening. When I you are working from a 6.5” diagonal screen as I have been, you likely miss a bit of information.

That said - not that it likely makes any difference.

## Example drive letter selection # Only allow X, Y or <enter> do{Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Cyan "What drive letter do you prefer as a backup?" $letter = (Read-Host -prompt "(X) or Y?").ToUpper()} while ($letter -notin @('x','y','')) # This sets the default to X, allowing the user to simply press enter if X is OK. if($letter -eq ''){$letter = 'X'} # Now set the drive letter.

Basic drive letter set is done, but we can be more complicated:

I use it in pfsense router. It works against script kiddies, bots/botnets, at least partially. It's just another layer of security. And like it was mentioned before, it reduces log noise, with almost no effort.

@Carnival-Boy said in Seekout: AI powered job search:

and I believe in Denmark you have to employ a certain percentage of female executives.

Roughly the same in the US, except you can never do so intentionally. You have to hire them organically. If you can't, you are stuck. But the laws aren't that strict, which is good, since there aren't that many women in most fields so you often can't get a candidate.

Okay - Can we stop now? Going back and forth isn’t healthy.

Why apt-get over apt

Okay, the question stemmed from a Raspberry Pi 3b+ running DietPi. I’m not going to elude that I know how much is or isn’t available in this system, but it’s stripped pretty well from the bits I have read.

It’s what the DietPi Updater used. It isn’t my typing the command ad hoc. So - you can quit the beatings as they aren’t going to help me any.

On my NC instance running 18.04 - I use sudo apt update. So,.. there is that.

apt install man
Could I install this? Yep - you guessed it, - I can. Do I want to, I’m not certain. Will I, again, I’m not certain.

Now - here is a cup of coffee for both you. This topic is closed.

@JasGot

The Xerox line is a work horse. The State pretty much has gone only to them. In the 'new' building I'm assigned to, we have about eight big MFP units per floor set with Follow-You print. It's handy - and yet also some times annoying. More so with being who are WFH and in office - they will some times come up with Printer Offline.

@gjacobse said in How To: for files:

That said, from what you are saying; is my ‘failure’ was omitting the /M which specifies the ‘searchmask’. And because of that omission, it didn’t have the comparative variable, and deleted everything.

There were two things that tripped you up.

The lack of /M to just find *.tmp files Using del *.tmp as the command

First forfiles is a for-loop that executes whatever command you want for each file it finds.
As @JasGot mentioned you will get one hit for each file it will find.

With /D -15 you are specifying that you only want to find files older than 15 days.
With /S you are telling forfiles to look in all subdirectories as well. You may or may not want that.
With /M you can specify a filter which matching filenames you want to search for. Without /Mit will find all the files regardless if it's named 123.tmp or installation.txt

Your initial command would find all files in all subdirectories regardless if it what name it had. That's why you needed /M.

Secondly, forfiles will execute whatever command you want for each and every file it finds.
Since your command was del *.tmp it would delete all tmp files every time it found a file.
What you really wanted was to just delete the file it found.
The @file will have the name of the file so del @file would only delete the file that was found.
