The Onion posted:So I'm currently playing with MDT 2010 and WDS in an attempt to find a better deployment solution for our network. We currently use altirs, but we do not have control over the servers, and the people who run it are on a old version that does not fully support windows 7 yet. We have machines in the ceiling that we need to get imaged, Is it possible to make a fully unattended (ZTI) install with just MDT 2010 and WDS? It seems like the only hurdle is forcing the machines to automatically boot from PXE, without touching them. Everything else unattended seems to be completely doable at this point. Thoughts? Be careful what you wish for. A fully automated, zero touch install that anyone can boot from the network is just asking for someone to fiddle with their settings, network boot and accidentally nuke their PC.

lol internet. posted:Actually, just don't advertise the task sequence to "All Systems/All Desktops & Servers" and you should be okay. Also, setup a password on the boot disc. (Will ask during PXE boot, not mandatory advertisements) Absolutely. This is completely different, and the right way to do it with an SCCM environment. I was more referring to The Onion's specific situation, where it didn't sound like he had such access.

BangersInMyKnickers posted:Virtualstore redirects in Vista+ easily fixed 90% of the compatibility issues we had with this. Being sysadmin on an XP/2003 domain without granting your users local admin was a compatibility nightmare because absolutely nobody tested their software and were writing reg keys and files any place you could possibly think of. Fuckin' truth, especially when you add terminal services/Citrix into the mix. I've probably spent months of time in procmon/regmon/etc figuring out what relaxations needed to be made for medical apps.

As lovely as charging for SSO is, that's one of the things I'm sure absolutely has a quantifiable cost in terms of support resources to deal with people that don't have the first loving clue about how any of it works trying to stumble through a config and blowing up everything in the process.

I've seen it both ways. Some companies will tell you to go piss up a rope and others will actually help, just like some customers actually understand what they're trying to accomplish and others are drastically out of their element. I've had to be the third wheel on more than a few of those calls.

Tab8715 posted:Why wouldn’t you want customers to use SSO for products or services? Once again - I am not arguing against SSO. SSO is fantastic and great and everyone should implement it everywhere yesterday. I'm just trying to bring some context into the discussion. For example, password resets are quick and can be processed by anyone with a pulse. SSO issues are more difficult and require a level of familiarity with how everything is supposed to work and troubleshooting skills. Being angry that companies don't provide SSO for free is a perfectly reasonable position, but to pretend that there is no overhead associated with providing SSO to customers is false.

lol internet. posted:Trying to do a Computer/User GPO to block all USB access on all computers with the exception of AD users in _____ AD Group. The policy itself is actually the same for User/Computer configuration. It doesn't seem to work? I'm on 2019 LTSC at least. Which settings exactly are you changing? If the user policy to deny USB works like you want it to then I think you should be able to get away with creating one policy that disables USB and edit the security on the GPO to set Deny permissions on it for your "allow USB" group.

If they're using something like a cablecard then just get them a tivo. I don't think there's anything else that will allow you to record copy protected content outside of OTA broadcast.

FISHMANPET posted:I once used OBS for a work presentation with a green screen. Outputting to a virtual camera will probably miss a step (it did with Zoom). I was using OBS to put my talking head in the bottom corner of the screen while my content was being shared. OBS could set that scene up well enough, but I ended up setting it to display on a 3rd monitor, and then I shared that screen via Zoom. So I had my main monitor for what I was showing off, my left monitor had OBS and zoom running, and then OBS played its output on my right monitor, and that's the screen I shared in Zoom. This 100% tracks with my experience. OBS is fantastic for demos and presenting content, but using virtual camera mode for mixed-mode presenting goes against how every collaboration platform works. You'll run into problems like people inadvertently stealing focus, people who normally have video disabled not knowing why they aren't seeing any content, etc. Sharing the OBS output by selecting its output window as the app to share (or more easily by just using another monitor and full-screening the output and sharing that) is the best platform-agnostic option.

Microsoft has been lazy with quality-of-life improvements for AVD and such because if customers want the easy button then they just bring in Citrix to back up the truck and sprinkle their bits on top. It literally makes them more money that way. I'm sure they're working on gradually chipping away at the differentiators that people actually use Citrix for, and I suspect the recent buyout and ransacking is only going to push that timetable up.

Internet Explorer posted:Pretty funny, because you could have said the same exact thing 20 years ago. I get where you're coming from but not really, IMO. Once terminal services transitioned to RDS they certainly started closing some gaps but it wasn't a huge priority. AVD is a totally different situation.

Conceptually, sure, but I'm talking on an actual feature level where there are distinct differences. Thankfully I got laid off so I don't have to stay on top of it anymore.
