@EskimoRuler @bytenerd Same here!

@Blurn @bytenerd So this just started working for me about 2 hours ago. I can successfully run the initial setup and sync.

WSUS/CM admins, we are aware of a sync issue that affects a narrow set of customers. Root caused and fix underway. You won’t have to do anything.

@EskimoRuler @bytenerd Same here ... Still seeing the issue and cannot perform an initial sync after the mitigation @bytenerd mentioned.

@bytenerd Any chance this would cause issues with setting up a new WSUS server? Was trying to spin one up to troubleshoot a different issue and keep getting these errors on the initial sync.

@ncbrady @manelrodero @JenMsft Re: win32 vs UWP apps … that isn’t always the case … not sure what causes the nuances. It’s a hard issue to describe but easily reproduced.

@ncbrady @manelrodero @JenMsft for me, this only happens when there are exe files on the desktop (w/OneDrive KFM). There is no correlation between the exe and the missing icons in the taskbar/file explorer. UWP apps in the taskbar render icons correctly. Seems Win32 apps are the ones whose icons go missing.

Are some of your icons not showing properly on your Windows 11 taskbar ? try this, it worked for me! > niallbrady.com/2024/09/30/win… #Windows11 thanks to Andrew (@Blurn) for the tip

@ncbrady Oohh, that’s interesting. I wonder if offline files plays a part in this. This one drove me insane. I think I kept CMTrace.exe and Speedtest.net cli on my desktop for convenience… ended up moving them. Hope this ends up helping you!

@Blurn yes i do, but on some devices (that are also connected to OneDrive) the icons are fine, it's only happening on some devices

anybody else get this annoying issue with Windows 11 ? icons 'forget' what they are supposed to look like, this is on a 23H2 device...

@ncbrady I think rebooting after the .exe on the desktop is removed gets all of your icons back. It’s a weird bug and I have no idea where to start to get it reported.

@ncbrady Do you have a .exe on your desktop? If so, do you use OneDrive known folder mover (desktop synced to OneDrive)? We have this happen and deleting the .exe from the desktop resolves.

I'll never forget troubleshooting ADFS issues for a school district where their RPs were not working because the ADFS servers kept jumping a minute or so into the future GPO defined time.windows.com as the NTP server :( I'm partial to GPS network time servers for the 💵

@MikeDanoski Surprisingly, no, at least not where I work. I wonder if the thresholds for notifications are public. I think it has to follow you for some time before notifying you. I bet student to student would be more common.

School IT people. Do your teachers and staff get tons of AirTag notifications from people putting them in kid’s backpacks?

@richardhicks @jgkps I think the ‘Troubleshooting + support’ page (last option on the admin center sidebar) has a feature that lets you enter a user, or device, and see policies that are assigned to them (plus more).

@jgkps I was hoping to find something to tell me what policies are applied to a specific user. The device info is helpful, though. Thanks!

Hey #msintune friends. Is there a way to determine what policies a specific user or device "should" be getting? Not just a list of all policies that are currently applied. Essentially RSOP for Intune. Thoughts, anyone?

@acjuelich No, single campus with fast internet/lots of bandwidth… haven’t seen any disadvantages yet…unsure what the benefits would help with.

Are you using Connected Cache? Why or why not? #MSIntune #ConfigMgr

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

@NathanMcNulty @richardhicks @sebawern Workaround I am referring to: sysmansquad.com/2021/04/27/wor…

@NathanMcNulty @richardhicks @sebawern As someone that has worked around the NPS limitations, I would very much recommend what Nathan is suggesting. The workaround works well with the new SID ext and SAN, still, I feel like its a timebomb. Will prob move away from NPS for that…plus it reduces reliance on our NPS/ADCS

Has anyone configured Wi-Fi device authentication using certificates without AD or Entra authentication? IOW, the device has a certificate issued by my CA, so allow the connection. Is that even possible?

@acjuelich Yeah, that said, I think most motherboards use AMI BIOS/UEFI which works with this tool. I haven’t run into any that have issues and we’ve used MSI, Gigabyte, ASUS, and ASRock. I bet if the tool can read the SMBIOS without issue, it can also program it.

@Blurn I imagine that tool depends on the manufacturer of the firmware?

OEM is my rapper name. #MSIntune
