I turned on two policies for 40 users a few days ago. First time for production. Will be doing much more soon.
Is it normal to feel a bit anxious but also excited to see it work?
I got two whole teams reporting both desktop and web outlook not working properly.
No other Microsoft apps?
Is there a way to do this without causing any massive issues on an already enrolled device?
We want it visible in our Intune Devices with basic compliance policies assigned.
Keep in mind the laptop is Intune managed on their end.
Time and time again, it's always an issue if a laptop costs 20-50 euros more at a more reliable seller. I don't think my manager is aware od the rising prices of everything. There is money, and I don't think IT should be low balled on, especially if it's a secure audit-ready compliant environment that's the goal.
Got people messaging me they're showing away or unknown. I can see them all good on my end.
Edit: as of 13:30 seems to be resolved
Edit #2: Thanks to everyone who jumped in and left comments. This post helped me relieve some pressure, as I had a tough day today.
For some reason I can't tap on anything in Entra, Intune etc. when I log in via incognito Edge. The sign in goes through but I can't tap on anything under the title window where it says "THIS admin center", expand users in Entra or Devices in Intune.
Anyone have this? I was able to access the portal normally until today.
Nothing changed in our environment.
The new PA is very enthusiastic about note taking
My manager expects me to take initiative and propose new things along with a standard of knowing the know how for a part of the job I'm pretty sure he should know I've never done before. He has experience with it and assumes that that part is familiar to everyone who works at the company. He applies pressure for things that are meant far enough into the future that we shouldn't even focus on them right now.
As for the initiative, I guess there aren't that many things to actually think about improving them. One thing is the general lack of organization and communication in the company, but I don't think that's something that I should bear with as a Sys Admin. I'm rarely given a chance to fully express myself as people sure like to spin their stories and in this "market yourself" world there's really not an honest person that would even stop talking for a second to listen to the other person.
Also, I'm pretty sure I'm sometimes given "helpful tips" copy/pasted straight from an AI chat along with being bombarded with information so far from my job decription that I have to listen to rants and other people being miserable.
Got a performance review coming up and I don't know what to think. I know I do enough, because there isn't one outstanding task left. But somehow it feels it's never enough.
If you made it this far, thanks for reading and have a good day!
