As some of you have noticed, the naming convention allowed for Windows Autopilot Hybrid Azure AD joined devices isn’t particularly flexible: You can specify a prefix (e.g. “AD-“) and the rest of […]
A few days ago, I started working on a new script. This blog is not about that script, but rather the unrelated issues I encountered while working on that script. Let’s start […]
Back when I was still in Windows product management/marketing, around the time when Windows Autopilot was first announced in June 2017, I was working with the team to try it out. “All […]
After a productive Friday night/Saturday morning, I’ve made a number of script updates. Let’s start off with the most interesting of them. The Get-AutopilotESPStatus script has been updated to version 3.6 to […]
Sometimes I should probably pay more attention. I use PowerShell a lot. I use Windows 10 a lot. But I still missed this one: Some highlights: Want to know if the device […]
Sometimes you need to run some code – somewhere. You don’t care where. But clients need to be able to get to it. You don’t want servers, VMs, or web apps, just […]
There are a variety of blog posts that talk about creating a local account on a device, to be used as a “break glass” account in case anything ever happens where the […]
I’ve talked about the Get-AutopilotESPStatus.ps1 script a few times in previous blogs (like this one). Well, here’s another one. First, I added some additional diagnostics information at the top of the output: […]
It seems some days become worthy of a blog post, if only due to the coincidental collision of research and customer questions. Today is one of those days. I started off the […]
I did my first podcast episode back in March. Because I didn’t know any better, it was posted at a higher bitrate than necessary, so it used up a significant amount of […]
If you routinely sign into the VLSC portal at https://www.microsoft.com/vlsc to download Windows 10 media you may have noticed something interesting recently. Here’s a snapshot of Windows 10 1909 from mid-March: And […]
Sadly, I can remember setting up my first Remote Access Service (RAS) on Windows NT Server 4.0. It was a very simple process: First you added the Remote Access Service in network […]
I have set up a variety of test domains over the years, and inevitably I need to set up Active Directory Certificate Services (ADCS) on them because I need to issue certificates […]
In the category of “stuff probably not worth a separate blog” category, I’ll combine some notes together into a single post. Let’s go through those one at a time. New white glove […]
As Per Larsen blogged this week, the recent Edge stable release now has a new MSI parameter to skip the desktop shortcut. From the release notes: Added an MSI command line parameter […]
This one falls squarely in the “I can’t believe I’m doing another blob about group tags” category. Past examples: Group tags with spaces? Fun with Azure AD dynamic groups Now you can […]
Over time, I’ve created a whole bunch of VMs for testing Windows Autopilot. They are named so that I can keep track of the Windows 10 build, the environment they are tied […]
Building on top of the script that I blogged about just over a month ago (time flies), I’ve now posted a new version. A few changes this time around: Apparently the MSI […]
In an average day, I provision a bunch of Windows 10 devices using Microsoft Intune and Windows Autopilot, including Office 365 ProPlus. But somehow I never actually launched Outlook (or if I […]
If you are using Intune and haven’t yet set up a mechanism to deliver certificates to your MDM-managed devices, you should probably do so – at some point you’ll need to, and […]
