Since the GDPR / DSVGO introduction, the topic of data protection, privacy and compliance is still a topic with which many lawyers still earn money.

The first day of the Ignite was very exciting. Due to my MCT status, I still had access to the keynote without having been there at 7 am. With a bit more luck I got a seat at the main stage. This year the breakouts and demos of the keynote were distributed in the hub,…

It has once again reached me a feature desire, and here is the implementation. With version 1.58 the group policy templates can be saved from the central store. This is especially good when importing new templates that may be buggy. This even happens to Microsoft with the German translations for Windows 10 times quite often.…

Today is day 0 of Microsoft Ignite. For me, it started yesterday already with the MCT day yesterday, practically on day -1.

Unattended software installation is standard in many environments. But how does it work? With an MSI it’s easy, but not everything is available as an MSI package. But many applications bring their own methods. Since I often need this, here is a small collection for the more important programs. It doesn’t matter if this is…

Some questions now, if I was already using the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), why should I run Autopilot afterwards? There are several reasons why it can be useful, here are some examples: Provide virtual machines for testing with less effort.

For a while, it was a bit quieter here in the blog. Last weeks I was a bit busy with Infrastructureheroes.org. Infrastrukturhelden.de also profited from that. This page was also improved, but all links should work. If you find something that doesn’t work, please let me know. The first translations are now coming online in…

In January 2019 I reported about the preview of the administrative templates in Intune. Now it’s time to see what happened. Meanwhile, the function is no longer in the preview phase and it has grown too. In the preview phase, there were 277 templates, now there are 3334. This number is divided into 721 device-specific…

Microsoft uses GUIDs in the error messages for the GPO Client Side Extension (CSE). If you have to analyze group policies regularly and find the errors, you might want to have a list. Since it works the same way for me, I started to collect. Here is my current status, I hope it helps you.…

Today there is again a small article according to the motto “If that doesn’t work, then I’ll do it with the Power Shell”. Often there is the request to send individual files from a folder by mail. I have such a case and decided to share it with you. Why do I need this? What’s…

In March 2019, I published the first article about unattended installation of software. This article also contains instructions or commands on how to install some programs unattended. Since this article enjoys some popularity, and I was asked for more examples, there is now a “lookup”. Some of the installations are not very challenging, but I…
