@dan_felman Confirmed that HPCMSL 1.8.5 still works correctly. I guess I'll have to lock my projects to that version until the bug is addressed or a new method of retrieving the XML is provided.

@dan_felman It seems that Get-SoftPaqList was changed in a recent update to HP CMSL, and it no longer downloads a reference XML that can be passed to HPIA.

@dan_felman @gwblok I think this change breaks your project, too. Have you found a workaround? github.com/gwblok/garytow…

@dan_felman I've been using a similar technique in my own scripts, which are also now broken. Is there a new supported way to get a ReferenceXML?

As a result, this official script from HP no longer works, as it relies on that XML file. See the Get_ReferenceFileFromHP function. github.com/ofelman/Set-HP…

@scdudes @zsattler This would never qualify as “zero disruption” in our environment. A way to automatically restore any self-service win32 apps from Company Portal during/after Autopilot would be a game changer. In the enterprise, almost nothing is a Store app.

@xenappblog @AdamGrossTX @mmsmoa Hi Trond. DM me, my company is prepping for a ConfigMgr to Intune app catalog migration. Sounds like you’d be perfect.

Today is my last day of 6 years working together with @AdamGrossTX and his team. Unfortunately, C-levels thinks its a good idea to outsource all IT to India. Well, if anyone is looking for an Intune Application Packager Expert please DM and RT. I will be at @mmsmoa in October.

@ariaupdated Is there clarity on how this will affect passwordless OOBE? Today we do a lot to ensure no reboots during OOBE for a smooth passwordless flow.

#WindowsUpdate friends, for security updates in OOBE (which could take 20+ min depending on connection, hardware, etc. - shameless plug- buy #CopilotPlus for better perf/battery 😋), would you prefer for it to be enabled/disabled by default? (today is off by default)

Any idea when HP CMSL will fully support ARM64 platforms like the Elitebook G1q? Seems like BIOS updates and BIOS password mgmt are both missing. @dan_felman

We're looking to add an experienced endpoint and infrastructure administrator. Please RT for visibility. careers-vhb.icims.com/jobs/5380/ente… #configmgr #sccm #Intune

@acjuelich @smtp2go We use SendGrid

Are their any cloud-based SMTP relay solutions that people recommend these days? I've heard good things about @smtp2go. Any others?

Okay devs, does anyone know a way to pull in optional claims - say groups and/or roles - when using EasyAuth on an Azure Web App (specifically Linux + Python3). There's nothing useful in the requests header, nor "/.auth/me" endpoint (i.e. decoded id_token values), so I'm lost.

@acjuelich Sounds like we’ve had much better luck than you. We do Hybrid Joined, non persistent VDI with Citrix DaaS on Azure VMs and Fslogix on Azure Files. Works well, and we have far fewer issues than we had with persistent hosts on AVD. All policies via GPO.

A PITA to manage. Almost all existing policies have to be modified and tested for this 'delicate flower'. Issues are more difficult to troubleshoot. And I've never seen the platform provide a good user experience. You can't Hybrid Join or Entra Join, or manage with an MDM. Just shovel it into the ether.

Non-persistent VDI is the devil.

Does anyone know a way to install Lenovo HSAs to an existing pc rather than during the WinPE phase of OSD w/ SCCM? Thought I'd be able to get away w/ tweaking their install-hsa.ps1 to use add-provisionedappxpackage -online but no such luck. #SCCM #Lenovo #ConfigMgr #powershell

@ariaupdated Driver updates are too unpredictable for enterprise. Provide an option to automatically align driver updates with monthly Windows patching so that users have a predictable once-a-month patching experience.

Happy new year! If you could change one thing this year about #WindowsUpdates or get one new #AI feature - what would it be? ps. you can provide multiple answers (if they are good 😋) #Autopatch #WUfB #CopilotPlus #Copilot #M365Copilot #Updates

16GB of RAM. Task Manager says 90% used, but if you add up all the actual amounts shown, it's on the order of 1GB. Why is TM so useless in this regard and how do I get meaningful insights? @JenMsft

Every support case involving an Intune device starts with the tech asking us to run a log collection tool. Sure would be great if there was a button for this in the Intune UI, or a Microsoft-managed remediation script that grabs what you want. @robdotyork @DeviceDeploy

Global Secure Access will be the next Conditional Access - a feature set that people will ignore because they have an alternative product, not realizing the negative impact that decision will have on their security posture 😔
