ALL MY DEVICES LEFT ME. I’M SCARED. WHAT DO I DO NOW?

May 19, 2020 / Bryan Dam / 0 Comments

This, the foul year of our lord 2020, has really really gone south on us all
real quick. We went from masters of our own domain to empty nesters in record
time. As our users flee for home we’ve all had to come to grips on that new
reality. There’s been a lot of great […]

MAINTENANCE WINDOWS: THE NEVER NEVER LAND OF PATCHING

March 3, 2020 / Bryan Dam / 5 Comments

While ‘Patching is Rebooting’ there are legitimate scenarios where you need to
be certain that updates are never automatically applied and the device rebooted.
In this post we’ll talk about the most straightforward and reliable ways to do
just that.

MMS JAZZ: LESS JAZZ HANDS, MORE FANCY JACKETS

November 19, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 0 Comments

Last week I attended my seventh MMS event. As usual I’ve given some thought to
the experience and figured I’d write something up. Location Location Location
One of the greatest parts of this year’s travelling MMS event was the location.
There was just so much to do apart from MMS that an unprecedented number of […]

PULL DISTRIBUTION POINTS: GREAT DPS OR GREATEST DPS?

October 4, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 13 Comments

One of the first arguments I ever had about ConfigMgr was around distribution
points. The initial design drawn up included several secondary site servers all
sitting right alongside our primary site server in our campus datacenter. The
reason? As documented, each site can only support up to 250 ‘regular’
distribution points and we had nearly […]

INTUNE PATCHING PART II: THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY

June 5, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 11 Comments

In Part I of this pathetic little series I tried to cover enough of the
technical details so that if you don’t currently patch your devices with Intune
you could get a feel for it without actually having to do it. In Part II I want
to get into the meat of the thing: can […]

INTUNE PATCHING PART 1: HUMAN TRANSLATION

May 29, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 15 Comments

I helped implement Intune at work (Recast Software) which was a great
opportunity to dig into the patching side of things. In this first part I’m
going to try and cover the technical details and make sense of some of the docs.
In the second part I’ll talk more about what I like, what I […]

PSA: NEW UPDATE PRODUCT CATEGORIES FOR 1903 RELEASE

May 22, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 20 Comments

Update: After doing a full-court press on this we were able to get Microsoft to
address this officially. My thanks to Mary Jo Foley and Donna Ryan for help make
that happen. Updating Windows 10, version 1903 using Configuration Manager or
WSUS Apparently Microsoft isn’t ready to talk about this yet so I guess I […]

MMS 2019: WHAT’D WE LEARN?

May 13, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 4 Comments

Le sigh. Another Midwest Management Summit has come and gone. These events have
always been whirlwinds but this year I had ten sessions where I was speaking in
some capacity. While I didn’t get to attend as many sessions as I may have liked
I still came away with some really great information. To say […]

MAKING SENSE OF WIN 10’S QUALITY UPDATE CADENCE

March 5, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 1 Comment

A couple of weeks ago I went through the history of how the cadence of Windows
10 Feature Updates has changed since Microsoft cooked up their initial
cockamamie scheme. You can find that here: You’re getting SAAAAAAAC’d Last week
people started asking me about various Windows 10 updates that weren’t showing
up in their WSUS […]

WINDOWS 10 UPDATE CHANNELS: YOU’RE GETTING SAAAAAAAC’D

February 18, 2019 / Bryan Dam / 12 Comments

I’m going to shake it up here and do something totally crazy. I’m going to talk
about operating systems for a moment. OSD is absolutely something in my
wheel-house and I certainly have my own ways of doing things. However, I don’t
really talk that much about it because there’s just so many freaking people […]
