    I have not been able to start any session on time because I get proxy errors and other related errors.  :(  Hope it's better next week

      John Gardner​ - The sessions are also over on Youtube.  The live stream resets after every session (or at least it did today).  https://www.youtube.com/@WindowsITProOnYouTube
      Hope that helps.

    In EPM, how does LAPS interact with, or pair with, EPM?  One of the reasons we have LAPS is to install software as admin, but we use LAPS for admin access for other things.  Having a hard time wrapping my head around this....

      Hey John, great question.  Let me see if we have any collateral that helps explain this. If not, I'll make something for you.

        Short version: LAPS is a great break glass backup for EPM if there is a task the End user can't complete with EPM alone

    Is Keeper Security supported with passkeys?  Like Bitwarden and1Password is?

  • Only good when the content works. Can't get anything but the posts. So dissapointing.
