Been a while huh? Please explain this gap on your posting resume. It&rsquo;s not that I&rsquo;ve not been doing anything, it&rsquo;s just that occasionally I forget that I should probably write about those things.
I&rsquo;ve converted my home lab to Proxmox since Broadcom has been busy destroying everything I love (well, in the context of virtualization anyway) and I have not yet been desperate enough as to seriously consider Hyper-V for this scale (Anything more than 1 hyper-v host sucks to manage without installing SCVMM and SCVMM doesn&rsquo;t make sense for 3 very small hypervisors - too much ram dedicated to allowing vmm to run).</description></item><item><title>Intune Apps, Double It and Give It to The Next Admin.</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/04/12/intune-apps-doubleit/</link><pubDate>Sun, 30 Apr 2023 00:14:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/04/12/intune-apps-doubleit/</guid><description>Intune is a really great software management system, but there are a few issues caused by a lack of flexibility that can give you some headaches if your just starting your Intune journey. Today I am going to be highlighting an issue with targeting application updates and how we can work around it.
The Problem Defined You have an application assigned to users as an available app. That means it shows up in the company portal for self service.</description></item><item><title>Dealing With Frontline Workers and OneDrive</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/04/11/Dealing-With-Frontline-Workers-OneDrive/</link><pubDate>Tue, 11 Apr 2023 00:14:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/04/11/Dealing-With-Frontline-Workers-OneDrive/</guid><description>OneDrive is an amazing product. It allows you to separate what&rsquo;s important, the data, from the tools used to transform the data,the computer. Your CEOs laptop got dropped in a bathtub? No Problem. Hand them a laptop with Intune &amp; Autopilot and they&rsquo;ll be back up and running within an hour or so WITH all of their files. Despite it&rsquo;s integral part to modern device management it has a few quirks that can make it a difficult product to administrate at times.</description></item><item><title>Mystery of Required Reboots during Autopilot</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/03/30/mystery-of-required-reboots/</link><pubDate>Thu, 30 Mar 2023 08:59:20 +0100</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/03/30/mystery-of-required-reboots/</guid><description>Businesses pay tens of thousands of $currency for Microsoft Partner consultants to come in, &ldquo;modernise&rdquo; their EUC estate, and leave behind a plethora of bugs and issues that shouldn&rsquo;t exist because said partners are supposed to be &ldquo;industry experts&rdquo;.
Completely unrelated, an issue I was working on at a client was with their Autopilot setup left behind from an MS partner that was causing a forced reboot mid-ESP. Shortly after entering company credentials, there would be a 10 minute reboot warning and no way to cancel - other than Shift+F10 and running shutdown -a which a normal end user wouldn&rsquo;t know and shouldn&rsquo;t need to know.</description></item><item><title>How to add an author to SysManSquad</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/03/28/adding-an-author/</link><pubDate>Tue, 28 Mar 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2023/03/28/adding-an-author/</guid><description>It&rsquo;s so easy!

User reports that voice calls in teams no longer worked. The user claimed that he hadn&rsquo;t changed anything. Leaving us to figure this out ourselves, so we did the usual troubleshooting, trying a new headset, trying to use the browser based teams client.
eventually we stumbled upon the culprit, we looked at the microphone settings under the &ldquo;Security &amp; Privacy&rdquo; section in the Windows 11 settings app: unmanaged, but the user had manually disabled the microphone permissions for win32 apps the user had some how flipped the switch for &ldquo;Let desktop apps access your microphone&rdquo; to off, effectively disabling all microphone access for all win32 based apps on the system (which is why teams app and teams in browser stopped working)</description></item><item><title>Get total job run time for your slurm cluster</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2022/11/21/create-slurm-report/</link><pubDate>Mon, 21 Nov 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2022/11/21/create-slurm-report/</guid><description>Every year, we have to produce a total of used hours on our compute cluster. The tools for interacting with slurm&rsquo;s accounting database are complex and the documentation is not very good, so this simple task is incredibly annoying.

Obviously you could just loop through all the user profiles on the system, but thats not always a good idea.
Lo and behold, you can simply see who is the owner of the explorer.exe process and use that, Obviously this will not work if no one is logged on.</description></item><item><title>Import Intune Assets into ServiceNow without the costly plugins</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2022-05-20-import-intune-assets-into-servicenow-without-the-costly-plugin/</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 May 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2022-05-20-import-intune-assets-into-servicenow-without-the-costly-plugin/</guid><description>In cases where an organization does not want to pay the hefty cost of servcenow’s integration hub, there is a way to still be able to import your intune assets into servicenow via the ms service graph api.

I’m learning quickly, but I also feel like I may have some more conservative views for managing Macs that definitely spill over from my Windows &amp; ConfigMgr days.
When I was hired, I knew going in that my first major project would be migrating the entire company from one MDM (Meraki Systems Manger) to another as part of an effort to bring all endpoint management under in-house IT.</description></item><item><title>Preinstalling Windows Terminal on a Generalized Windows Image</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2022/01/23/2022-01-23-preinstalling-windows-terminal-on-a-generalized-windows-image/</link><pubDate>Sun, 23 Jan 2022 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2022/01/23/2022-01-23-preinstalling-windows-terminal-on-a-generalized-windows-image/</guid><description>In this post, I will show you the steps required to preinstall Windows Terminal (or any signed MSIX Application) to a generalized Windows image.
The goal of this post is to create an image of Windows 10 that can be deployed to an IT department that already has Windows Terminal baked into the OS, instead of having to go out to the Windows Store and install it yourself
NOTE: This only works on a generalized image.</description></item><item><title>Using PowerShell and Graph to update Azure AD user photos in bulk</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2021/12/03/2021-12-03-using-powershell-and-graph-to-update-azure-ad-user-photos-in-bulk/</link><pubDate>Fri, 03 Dec 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2021/12/03/2021-12-03-using-powershell-and-graph-to-update-azure-ad-user-photos-in-bulk/</guid><description>Introduction In this post, I’ll give you some background information and show you how to utilize the Microsoft Graph API to bulk update Azure AD user photos.

Widely used apps like Google Chrome are well-developed with options to automate and configure using scripts, MDM config profiles, or even back one-liner terminal commands.
When you encounter an app that has little-to-no documented parameters or configurations, it can be frustrating. I choose to look at it as a challenge. Using any tools or ideas available, it’s easy for me to become engrossed in finding an automatable solution.</description></item><item><title>FSLogix App Masking Rules for M365 Apps</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2021/11/22/2021-11-22-fslogix-app-masking-rules-m365/</link><pubDate>Mon, 22 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2021/11/22/2021-11-22-fslogix-app-masking-rules-m365/</guid><description>I’m deploying Azure Virtual Desktop currently for a client and they want a “general shared desktop” pool that will have a bunch of core apps including Microsoft 365 Apps installed.

Just like application code, you store the infrastructure code in a source repository and version it&hellip;&rdquo;
What does all that mean?</description></item><item><title>NET-103 : Layering in Active Directory</title><link>https://sysmansquad.com/2020/05/19/net-103-layering-in-active-directory/</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 May 2020 14:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sysmansquad.com/2020/05/19/net-103-layering-in-active-directory/</guid><description>Joe Ravi / CC BY-SA https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 In previous articles, we&rsquo;ve built the basic services you need without getting too far in the weeds.

Hello!
Today I’d like to share with you a new solution I’ve developed to allow me to use the free Modern Driver Management solution from the team at MSEndpointMgr at my work. My goal is to use the process developed by them for managing drivers in a task sequence and convert it to use the ConfigMgr Administration Service since my company won&rsquo;t allow me to install their third-party web service.</description></item><item><title>Sharing Google Meet Links With Students Safely Can Be Confusing For I.T.
