#PowerShell #Windows I just found one of the weirdest thing. Remember reagentc? If you /disable while using a x86 PowerShell the WinRE.wim will be put into a different folder than when you do it from x64. This is wild.

Using #WindowsAutopatch in #Intune? You should go here and Migrate to the Win32 App. This will create an application for you "Windows Autopatch Client Broker" that you can use to deploy the AP service instead of the script.

TIL: Is it #Office ADMX x86 or x64 right for me? They're identical except for a minor version number string in the Lync16.adml files. Just use whichever download you prefer.

Ok, Citrix really?
First of all, Intune has been able to do this for years. So, you've figured that out, and you've even got a working template? Oh, wait a minute - your new ADMX doesn't work too, because you forgot to include EXPLAIN strings in 2 spots.

Oh wow, I just set up another PoC for GSA and checked the recommended ports for domain controllers. That list was extended by a _lot_. This will be hard to argue with some security folks. Mind you the 4 ports before were enough to get a TGT. learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/...

#CIS Benchmark v4 for #Intune and #Windows11 has been published as of two days ago! I recommend you check out the changes as soon as you get access to it. This has been in the work for months! #cybersecurity

And that’s a wrap! #MEMsummit 2025 was great! Thanks for everyone attending my sessions, I hope they brought value to your life 😊
Let’s hope we’ll meet again next year. Wish me luck on getting home because my train has been cancelled.
#DeutscheBahn didn’t deliver!

I’m on my way to Paris to the #MEMSummit 2025! As a speaker, an attendee, MVP and father of two. I’m proud and a bit sad and nervous at the same time. A big conference, an unknown city but _many_ people that I’m eager to meet and chat with!
See you in Paris!
Find me in T1 in Frankfurt 😉

Still can’t believe I’m an MVP now.
Thanks to @jgkps.bsky.social @adamgrosstx.bsky.social and I could be there in spirit at least!
Hopefully I can make it next year!

Microsoft's Technical Takeoff started today and this video about the "speed of Intune" was dropped today. Where will you be when this hits? It also explains why the often quoted "every 8 hours" is wrong. Can't wait for those reports!

Let's see if anyone else is having this problem. #WUfB reports cannot be set up in two different tenants at the moment. I get an error from Graph and that's it - even when using a GA with subscription owner access. What am I missing? learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/...

Are you on #Windows 26100.2605 (24H2 December)? Try this: Download a file from the internet, go to properties and remove the MotW. Close the properties, reopen. The MotW is still there - trying to remove it now results in a "cannot find file" error. Renaming the file fixed it.

Usually not very political publicly, so my non-German speaking followers may want to skip this one (or read on, I don't care lol).
