I guess the #ConfigMgr client doesn't like it when the network adapter name has an apostrophe in it?...cause I just fixed a client that wasn't able to determine boundary group membership (and couldn't download content) by renaming the adapter and removing the apostrophe 🤯

There must also be someone whose bonus is directly tied to how many people have the Windows taskbar search box enabled...
Replying to @PJ_Marcum
Someone's bonus is directly tied to how many people buy stuff through Edge shopping, so "no" :P

If you are troubleshooting an enterprise problem, you need to establish a chain of supporting evidence instead of assumptions and heuristic blame. I'm going to ask you down to the hard drive and build up from there. You called me. You will learn to deplore complexity.

Dell Command Update 4.6 has been released, but no mention of it on the main KB page: dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us… Regular: dell.com/support/home/en-US/… Universal App: dell.com/support/home/en-US/… @PatchMyPC

Is it possible to execute a #ConfigMgr script - with parameters - any other way than #PowerShell ? I know it's possible via the Admin Service, but there doesn't seem to be any way to provide parameters to it that way. #MEMCM

What I'd like to do is have a webpage that has input fields that get passed to the #ConfigMgr script as parameters. So if #PowerShell is the only way, I guess the more basic question is, what's the best way to execute a PowerShell script via a webpage?
Geez, glad I wasn't working on this THREE days ago... Thanks, Shawnlockner-7808! docs.microsoft.com/en-us/ans… #ConfigMgr #MEMCM #OSD #8021x

Anybody else seeing Edge open automatically at logon after updating your #Windows10 install media with the LCU? I'm seeing this on 20H2 (19042.1466) with Edge Stable 97.0.1072.55. So far, only on new (bare metal) builds. #memcm #ConfigMgr

Seems related to the MicrosoftEdgeUpdateTaskMachineCore scheduled task as disabling this results in no visible Edge windows after logging on.
Apparently it's the UpdateOrchestrator\StartOobeAppsScanAfterUpdate scheduled task that triggers Teams to install sometime after #Windows11 #OSD I don't want this version to install on Enterprise edition. There has to be a way to stop it other than killing the task?

Anybody else out there in #ConfigMgr #MEMCM land who built and captured a #Windows11 reference image with #MDT and also ran a bare-metal #Windows7 OSD to test the ESU year 3 key in the same 24-hour period? No? Just me? Cool.

Was the dark theme option removed from #ConfigMgr Support Center? It was added in TP 2105 but I just tried updating to the TP 2109 version and it seems to be gone :-( #MEMCM
During #ConfigMgr OSD on a Dell Optiplex 7490 AIO (Intel 10th gen, RAID On) using the enterprise driver pack, it is choosing the wrong RST driver and causing BSOD. Had to delete the VMD driver from the pack. I guess the device IDs in the INF are wrong? VMD is only for 11th gen?

#MEMCM world: What should I check if a canned report is slow in SSRS but the underlying query is fast when run directly against the DB? Report is AI - Software 02E. SSRS is remote to the DB. There are no other known/noticeable perf issues. @GarthMJ @Steve_TSQL @SqlBenjamin
