Trying to get the touch screen to work on a Microsoft surface with fedora 38, anyone have any pointers? No pun intended.

Having my mind blown that the CCNA certification doesn't bring up anything about SNMP community strings....

At least according to an employee...

From my latest round of Cisco CCNA Training (circa 2001), it wasn't mentioned then either, lol.

But like... the history of SNMP and networking... and the damn fact that everything and their cousins includes "public" and "private" community strings by default.....

We used https://www.forensit.com/domain-migration.html to do profile migrations; it worked OK but the big pain was it would not move Outlook profiles correctly and we had to rebuild Outlook for some of our users

Yea I've used this in the past for migrations and haven't had any issues. Actually have a new customer that is wanting to get setup with some central administration of things and this was on the list to use.

He doesn't even need the mask to prove that point.

I've not heard anything good or bad regarding Jamf in a long while.

To ask some probing questions, what type of business are you working in?

Would you be supporting a single site or business or multiple?

it would be multiple and I'm working with restaurants - a lot of them

So you'd be doing this as a managed servi e, I'm not sure if Jamf supports it, I know that Microsoft Intune, or Sophos mdm along with Apple DEP will work for multiple customers. But yo'd still have multiple Apple accounts (for app store purchases).

Yeah I suspect that this has to include some cloud services, but why order direct through Dell with OEM office? I would think you'd have an active 365 tenante for this if you're a windows shop.

@Oksana Microsoft should really learn that a PIN is not a Password.

Forcing Windows Hello on businesses that opt to not have E3 or higher licenses and then forcibly making people use a PIN is just plain stupid.

There is a registry edit that can be made to disable Window Hello, but it's annoying to do so as it's a piecemeal approach.

It's Microsoft's way of reminding you, heavily, that Ubuntu is free.

While I agree, the focus would be to still have SSO on your azure bound device. I've never tried to bind Ubuntu or other linux distro to Azure.

@Obsolesce Yeah I got that far along, what I need to pull is a specific string from the output.

I have a few other ways that I was manipulating the string, like writing the entire output to a file and then pulling the 23rd line (for example) but that literally gets everything on that line.

When all I want is the InstallDate

Get-ChildItem -path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\' | W
here-Object -FilterScript { $_.GetValue("DisplayName") -eq 'Software' }

Gets me the content I want, now I gotta filter out how I can pull just the single string I need...

Hey All, Hoping I can get some help as I'm just not thinking straight.

I want to be able to use reg query $variablePathName /f /InstallDate /s

But I'm being told that $VariablePathName isn't a valid path (no dur) yet it is if I run the prior command which gives me the path.

How can I use reg query to search using a variable?

Contemplating all of my life choices as I swear I'm being gaslit at work continuously.

Not sure if it's time to update the resume or what..

When you realize it's for normal people, not computer nerds. People into any genre don't watch reality TV of that genre. People into computers find him annoying, people who find people into computers weird and can't understand them find him annoying because he fills their vision of what a computer nerd would be. Computer people are just offended.

Yup, cant stand the guy, waste of oxygen imo.

Death scrolling ML, been a while since I've had a chance to post here. How is everyone doing?

Eating some grub, while wanting to go to the Gym. . . also had to let someone go earlier today.
