This is beautiful on so many levels.
The manager of the server team has been insisting to my team that we don't have an #mecm distribution point on site.
"My guys have already looked."
Today I sent him snapshots of the floor, the badge reader to the room, the rack it's in, and a final picture of me labeling it for "his guys".

Peut-on se passer de MECM ?
Grâce à Tranquil IT, la question mérite clairement d’être posée. WAPT et Samba AD ouvrent des pistes concrètes pour gérer les postes de travail autrement, sans tout miser sur Microsoft.

Found while digging through the #mecm logfiles.

"Non-fatal error while processing file.
ID:14968 was unable to process file. Will retry latter.
File does not exist. No zapping needed."

🙄

Somebody at Dell fat fingered or lazily copy/pasted the wrong version number for Dell Command Update as shown in the wizard for importing via the Dell Software Gallery into Configuration Manager. That unfortunate version number made its way down into the detection method as well. Oops.

I needed to absolutely confirm that the laptop that is missing software is actually in any of the collections I am targeting. Kind of hard to get the required software to meet the VPN check if the MECM client never gets a deployment tasking. I blame being sleep deprived due to attending 1100 EST meeting from HST location (GMT-10 for those keeping score at home).

However, I did figure it out and I didn't have to reimage the computer and blow away the User's profile and cached login.

P.S. Upgrade/patch your BIOS.

P.P.S. My work music playlist is now 100% KPOP.
