A simple restart command doesn't perform the update step, just the restart, so the update doesn't get applied.

This has been an issue for a very long time with windows. I am surprised it hasn't been fixed yet. It's really annoying

Well, at least with Win 7, a standard reboot applies updates. At least, I think it does. The main difference between Win 7 and 10, is that they have switched to the osoclient.exe to manage the updates.

I'm pretty sure server 2008 and onward had the issue. I don't remember dealing with it on workstations

I still have a 2008 R2 box and can test it on the next go 'round. I won't have it much longer, as I am dumping it prior to EOS.

LOL - Didn't make this cutoff. Next week, hopefully.

Interviewer: I noticed you listed some moonlighting jobs on the side. Would you care to elaborate?
Me: Sure! I am the terror (that bitch slaps in the night)! I am your worst nightmare! I am Black3Dynamite!

Days later...

Company Rep: Mr. Johnson, I'm sorry to tell you that we've chosen another candidate for the position.
Me:

LMAO!

@wrx7m

Just curious, when you chose UPD, did you choose to store all settings or just certain folders?

Some applications don't play nicely with roaming profiles.

UPDs mount at the usual C:\Users\user.name and the applications can't tell a difference.

Right. But, only when the user is logged in. After they logout, that path doesn't exist. I am trying to figure out how to work around that for adding the custom (for each user) erp shortcut on their desktop in their session.

Add the shortcut to C:\Users\Public\Desktop.
That way it will always show up on each user Desktop.

This would be nice and easy, but each user has a custom shortcut- It has a workstation ID in the target path.

I would think that if you were planning on "moonlighting" or whatever, that could be an issue for a potential employer.

Planning on is different. Everyone has done it in the past. Employers assume that they are people who admit it, and people who hide it.

Right. However, putting your side gig (moonlighting) on your resume could tip them off that you would be doing it.

That's a discussion. No different than if you weren't planning on giving up your current day job.

A lot of people "moonlight" because they aren't salary.

I could use some equivalent or greater hourly wages, complete with OT and DT

@wrx7m Is that a computer configuration or user configuration policy? Try applying the rules to only non-admins groups.

Yeah, it is at the computer level. I would like to do it via user config but I only want them to apply to users on the RD servers. I need to figure out the proper way to structure AD/GPOs to not screw up everything else.

I am guessing creating another OU as a sub container and move the RD servers into.

Edit: Since it isn't GPP, there isn't any item level targeting, so I can't do it that way.

If you can make those changes directly in the registry, maybe can allow you to use GPP and item level targeting.

Hmmm. That makes sense. Let me mull it over.

For the record, at home, I use the actual hibernation on 3 desktops ALL THE TIME. I never actually use shutdown. I can wake them up using my phone from anywhere. When I am done, I hibernate. That isn't to say that I don't reboot them from time to time.

While I generally hate it, I can make somewhat obvious cases for why actual hibernate would exist. I don't want it in any business because Windows seems unstable with it. It creates all kinds of support issues. But there is a reason for it to exist. But this weird half assed hibernation where the apps are shut down? That's useless.

Exactly. I disable hibernation at work. Sleep also creates all sorts of issues that a reboot will fix. All desktops have any type of sleep/hibernate disabled because there is no need and it potentially introduces all sorts of issues.

sleep and hibernation cause issues with My current Job.

Lack of sleep causes issues with my current job.
