AskWoody PlusDirectAccess is fixed. I am patching abt 10-20 test users with the issue and is resolved.
some of them downgraded from ENT to PRO… I am guessing because they cannot or could not talk to the KMS server

AskWoody Plushe states: ” Co-management is a destination, and you can get started today by connecting ConfigMgr”
SCCM is not dead, not every site has the $$$ to afford the cloud services, other places refuse to put their stuff on the cloud due to privacy issues… we all know big brother is always watching (IMO)

Also in the notes: “mitigation and corrects a recent printing issue some users have experienced.
Noteย This update does not replace the upcoming October 2019 monthly update, which is scheduled to release on October 8, 2019.”

AskWoody PlusI am dealing with BSOD for Dells 9020M (1607 and 1709)
Dumps point to theย win32kfull.sys… I have updated BIOS and video drivers so far but still BSOD. next on my list is chipset and sound.
No other Dell chassis is having this issues (we only have dells)

AskWoody PlusWhat I have done in this occasions is to approve them in batches.
I like to go by year, in that way you can see what you are approving (don’t want to deploy .net 4.7 to web servers if that is not your intention)
Also you can monitor what systems are running low in space in that way you don’t stop exchange from working due to lack of space.
take this time to go as far back as you can to see if patches from 2015 are applicable (u might have 2 systems)
When I do catch-up on clients I do it one batch a week (200 servers and 3000 WKS on average) aprox… that way is easier to troubleshoot if things happen.
