What Are You Doing Right Now

gee. what a slow monday. i'm getting through it, but this one's been a tough slog.
-
We are starting to use MS Autopilot to deploy devices. Started with our Device image, updated, named it. got the Hardware ID and ran Sysprep.
Signed in and it picked up on the AutoPilot, installing our software (Adobe, Mitel, Chrome, Office, etc) and once all said and done - rebooted.
And that's it... died. won't boot just sits and the spinney dots. Guess I get to image it again.
-
Watching a Dell engineer type commands to set up our new data vault. And the zoom call is from 8am to 1pm, so I'm going to be hella bored today.

That's always fun! We're gearing up for Thanksgiving here, so no rocking the boat or making any unnecessary changes to production stuff.

Wait - you're imaging it - and then using autopilot to push software to it? Why not include that as part of your image?

I hope that guy isn't affecting production yet either

Maybe each system is different. It's pretty common that images can't contain all of the necessary software because what's needed is not universal and groups aren't large enough for individual images.

We do have different models - there is an image for each model accordingly. Software is the same for each though.. Adobe Reader, Mitel, Teams, WatchGuard, ManageEngine, Trend, CarbonBlack.
The annoyance is that ME, Trend and CB all are install post Domain join.

We're prepared if he does. Snapshots and backups for the win, lol... but I'd rather not have to work over Thanksgiving. Had to do that a few years ago. Not fun.

@dafyre today's session is actually testing the recovery (sandbox first of course). I'll rest easier knowing that it is working. And then Thanksgiving prep. Hopefully the store still has some collard greens.

We got it easy this year. Just gotta bring the Mac & Cheese and some dinner rolls, lol.

Easy peasy. I like to put some panko on top with the last layer of cheese. Makes a nice, crunchy, melty top layer.

We are doing a big Thanksgiving down the road here in Nicaragua. An American expat and his GF are hosting a huge party. At least fifteen of us going. Going to be huge. Even getting a turkey.
Which is odd that everyone thinks that getting a turkey is going to be hard. When they are literally raised right in the village.

That's a good idea! By happy mistake a few years ago,I wound up with 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup and 2 cans of nacho cheese soup... Best ever. I may add the planko crumbs this year. That's an excellent idea!

ewwww - that sucks!
They don't have an imaging solution available?
