This shit wrecked us today. No external emails in/out.

My problem is I’m always rocking an old thinkpad, and I don’t want to “waste” any good stickers on something that could break at any moment. Better leave the stickers in a drawer.

If you already use Steam, you might be surprised by how many games are supported on Linux now. Lookup protondb.

Yeah… We don’t use any endpoint management. We probably have closer to 150 PCs, but we are growing. I am half the IT dept and I’ve been here about 6 months. This is my first IT job, so I’m learning as I go, and the other guy did the same. I will definitely look into implementing Intune.

I just learned about FOG. I’ll look into it.

I’m trying to save myself some time. I have a few boxes to setup per week. They are all either Lenovo ThinkCentres or Lenovo laptops. They all need uodates, a few things uninstalled, and a minimum set of things installed, including: Office365, Adobe Reader, OoenVPN, a remote desktop connection, etc. Some of the software requires manual registry edits.

Thanks, that does look powerful, but also big and complicated. We are at most provisioning a few boxes a week, and I am really just looking for the easiest way to not have to set them all up from scratch. As the company grows, I can see the benefit to learning and utilizing a tool like SCCM.

Thanks, I’ll look into the feasibility of scripting. I don’t think I can use WDS since we use a local AD.
