At the manufacturing company I worked for, a solid 70% of the folks didn't have AD accounts. Not much reason to do AD integration.

The only times I've ever had to was stuff like disabling workstation access without badging in for high security locations or (more likely, in this case) situations where they want to keep track of who is working in the office vs remote*. *I implemented this to help a company figure out who is unnecessarily demanding desks in the office without using them, not to punish employees for not coming in.

A sales engineer would be expected to do all of that, and I've been a sales engineer before so it's nothing I haven't done. I've also done every one of those things as a not-self-employed consultant trying to expand a footprint working with sales. It's a hell of a lot of work though.

Been on a call for 3 hours with a customer because our app is somehow forcing an HTTP connection for SSO but the client's Azure AD frontdoor doesn't accept it and no one seems to know what to do so there's probably been like 2 hours of silence while people just try random things. I need to get out of customer support... Edit: Feel like today is like those commercials good for tweaking my Indeed or LinkedIn. Blurb3947 fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Nov 18, 2022 |

Does anyone here have experience working with 'loaner' laptops? I do internal corporate IT and we have a handful that we give out to people to use for whatever reason. My boss wants some automated or semi-automated solutions for 1) wiping laptops between users and 2) physically tracking them out in the field (eg via GPS). Any suggestions? Apologies if I'm not explaining this well

Apologies if I'm not explaining this well 1. Should be able to use the same imaging process you use for your main fleet, maybe different config/ image if its going to be used by non-employees. No need to reinvent the wheel. 2. Just don't.

Apologies if I'm not explaining this well The way I have seen this implemented at F500 orgs, yes loaner laptops are common. Same or similar image like the other poster said. You should be able to set up a semi automated workflow if you have Service Now or equivalent. GPS tracking, never seen that (at least disclosed in an obvious way), would very much dislike it, and there may be legal issues. Inner Light fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Nov 18, 2022 |

#2 Tracking gets weird. And hard. And it's unreliable. And it doesn't stop a thief from reimaging a system or selling it anyway. Use Bitlocker, good passwords, and proper policy management from AD or Intune and you can mitigate the risk of data disclosure by physical theft fairly well. #1 Reuse your existing deployment stack, maybe with a tweak here and there to make your clean travel systems meet the specific need that necessitates a clean system in the first place. Often, that need stems from uncertainty that international travel places on data governance/sovereignty. For example, for a defense contractor a long time ago, I once set up a different OU/GPO set that prevented things like mail and offline files from caching. A foreign state would thus be less likely to access data if the laptop was opened at a border and a password was compelled. Sometimes the threat was state surveillance methods used by, let's say, the UAE or China, where network configuration and access to resources from the home data center needed to pass through a much more complex set of controls and some active monitoring. They following is advice that frankly applies to a lot of situations where a new business need materializes: The use case is known to your team and the people who think they need this. Start with REALLY getting to know the business need, then proceed from there.

Internet Explorer posted:If you really want to do this, you can check out Deep Freeze. https://www.faronics.com/products/deep-freeze Thank you. It's made very very clear to our users that these laptops are temporary and that any files they save to the drive WILL be lost. This warning, and other instructions for how to access our normal cloud services are literally set as the desktop background, and they don't login with their normal account, but rather with the laptop's 'loaner' account. I'll check out Deep Freeze. He doesn't want to image them (mainly because our deployment kinda sucks and it's time-consuming). As for location tracking, I will relay to my boss that there may be legal issues with that to consider. Thanks all.

NY Times has had several great articles last few days on rounding up Musk antics, here's the latest. All are gonna be paywalled but you can easily use bypass services if you want, I like being a stan for them because their reporting is top notch. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/18/technology/elon-musk-twitter-workers-quit.html The New York Times posted:One worker who wanted to resign said she had spent two days looking for her manager, whose identity she no longer knew because so many people had quit in the days beforehand. After finally finding her direct supervisor, she tendered her resignation. The next day, her supervisor also quit.

Why would you even try to quit if there’s no clear structure of control? Rake in money until someone asks you why you’re doing jack poo poo. At that point you’ve found the person to tell you you’re quitting.

If you're happy for things to be lost every session then you could look at using mandatory profiles on the device https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/desktop/legacy/bb776895(v=vs.85) I agree with The Iron Rose though, get your regular imaging/deployment workflow sorted and then treat loan laptops like any other device.
