Windows 11 Taskbar customization

Hi,

In order to customize taskbar on windows 11 for all users, I found the article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/customize/desktop/customize-the-windows-11-taskbar

It says to place the .xml file in C:\Windows\OEM but it doesn't exist. Does that mean it needs to be created ?

Also, the article states that the reg key LayoutXMLPath is processed before the specialize configuration pass. Does that mean it is mandatory to capture a custom image including that modification then deploy it for the taskbar layout to apply ? I doesn't apply if I directly deploy the .wim image downloaded from Microsoft ?

Thanks

Configuration baseline monitoring issue

Hi,

Here is the situation.

A few months ago, I deployed a configuration baseline on a large collection (~6000 devices). Lately, I spotted a typo in the name of the compliance rule that is used for the compliance check. When I corrected it, in the monitoring, the compliant devices are still here but all non-compliant and unknown devices were removed ! The statistics and lists of devices were started over as if it was the first time I deployed it.

However, when I check the non-compliant numbers in summarization from the pie chart, without browsing the results, they were not reset.

Is there a way to get back the list of non-compliant devices when browsing the details of the baseline in the monitoring, as they still appear in the pie chart statistics ?

Thanks

Issue with online status reported

Hi,

For about a week, we see an issue that online devices have grey icon with a white cross. They are not reporting their online status. They should be green with the check mark. Reinstalling the client doesn't fix the issue.

Is there any log to check that icon ?

Thanks

Nextcloud client update with msi installer

Hi,

Is it necessary to remove the currently installed version before installing the new version for the client updates via MSI ? Or can we directly install the new version ? There is no mention of this in the documentation.

Also does it require restart computer if shell extension is disabled ? Since restart is used to load explorer correctly, it shouldn't be required if no shell extension is used.

Thanks

Device guard and credential guard in Windows 11

Hi,

In Windows 10 we had to enable Hyper-V in order to use device guard and credential guard features. Since they're enabled by default in Windows 11, do they still require to enable Hyper-V ?

Issue with uefi 2023 certificates updates on dell optiplex 7070

Hi,

We have some Optiplex 7070 that don't update uefi 2023 certificates.

Bios version is 1.35.0

uefica2023error is 8007015e

Event id is 1800.

It says a reboot is needed but even after restarting more than 5 times, it's still the same.

Do you have the same issue with this model ?

Thanks

Hi,

The point is to not display a value, like a password in a command line step.

So I set the task sequence variable by checking the "do not display value" box.

Then, to use this value in a command line using cmd, not powershell, is the procedure to use this format %TSVarPassword% with %% caracters ?

For example

cctk.exe --OnboardModem=enabled --valsetuppwd=%TSVarPassword%

Or do we have to use powershell, store the task sequence variable value in a variable, then use it in the command ?

Thanks

Hi,

I'm deploying drivers, firmware and bios updates with Dell Command Update tool with SCCM. The password is encrypted with the -encryptedpassword option. In most cases the password is correct. The issue is that if the bios password is incorrect on some devices, the tool returns exit code 0 which is a success code. So the deployment will come as success while in the log, it appears that the password is incorrect. It is an issue since it breaks the result in the monitoring. A possibility would be to read the last lines of the log file and detect the line that says the password is incorrect, but is there any other with this tool ?

Thanks
