Big news! Someone finally noticed that if you hold down CTRL, the process list in Task Manager conveniently freezes so you can select rows without them jumping around. I did this so you could sort by CPU and other dynamic columns but then still be able to click stuff...

Autopilot Import GUI Excited to introduce my updated #PowerShell GUI tool designed to enhance your Windows #Autopilot experience! This script automates various tasks, making device deployments a breeze. 🔑 Key features: 1. Login and register device in Autopilot without having to export the hash and manually upload the .csv file in the Intune Portal. I always recommend using Grouptags which you can also set in this GUI. 2. Start Windows Update: Update OS to the latest Build before starting the Autopilot process. This will ensure that the device will have the latest OS before the device will be delivered to the enduser. 3. Run a Network Connectivity Check to see if your device can contact all essential endpoints for Autopilot, Intune, Licencing, Updates and more. 4. You can also export the Hash as a CSV and save it on a external drive e.g. USB flash drive.

Big news for schools and trusts using M365 A1 Plus (STANDARDWOFFPACK_IW_FACULTY). Network managers should review their current licensing.
M365 for Education customers: Microsoft is retiring the Office A1 Plus program and placing limits on M365/O365 A1, A3 and A5 storage. Storage changes are effective at the beginning of next contract renewal but no sooner than Aug. 1, 2024: techcommunity.microsoft.com/… #MSLicensing
