@miketerrill @gwblok @jarwidmark Look at Mike "scope creep" Terrill over here...

Does anyone have examples of modifying the task sequence XML and then importing that to CM? To do things like swap apps/packages between environments.

I'd like to not start this completely from scratch.
#ConfigMgr

[Ryan Ephgrave @EphingPosh]

@gwblok @miketerrill @jarwidmark Retro is a form of modern, right?

[Ryan Ephgrave @EphingPosh]

@gwblok @miketerrill @jarwidmark This is pretty much the idea. Export the XML, find all environment specific references, get and replace for prod environment, update prod TS with new XML

[Ryan Ephgrave @EphingPosh]

@miketerrill @jarwidmark Me: How crazy can the references be?

Child task sequences:

[Ryan Ephgrave @EphingPosh]

Is there a way to launch the #ConfigMgr task sequence editor outside of the console?

Have a TS with lots of child TS and want easier navigation between them. Can write it myself if I can launch the UI.

@skatterbrainzz Where's the option to fix it on a new API version and keep both running while only giving the new message if users add version=1.08.5346 to the end of their URL?

@kidmystic I'm surprised it took this long. Once you joined Microsoft and could IM the Notepad PM, I figured it'd just take a few days!

You're slipping!

All I'm saying is, everyone should get a free swear a week...

Teams: Message has been blocked due to the organization profanity filter

Me: What if it's a legitimate use of profanity?

[Ryan Ephgrave @EphingPosh]

Daughter: FINN WON'T PLAY MINECRAFT WITH ME EVEN AFTER I SCREAMED AT HIM!!!

Apparently screaming at someone is like saying please...

Does anyone have experience uninstalling applications in #ConfigMgr by denying an approval? It's only occasionally working for us and I can't pinpoint why it's only every now and then.

These are device deployments, available, set for require admin approval.

@alexandair I think DSC is a great idea, but it feels like it's so late to the game and there's very little movement on it from Microsoft... I'd love to get excited about it, but I'm worried it's just going to be some niche skill very few want or need.

@JustinWGrote They made a mmc snapin?

[Ryan Ephgrave @EphingPosh]

@NathanMcNulty Just run it as an encoded command. They love that.

Son: Wait, you were alive in 1940?

Mother in law: No, I wasn't born until the 60's!

Daughter: You should be dead.

@WSV_GUY It's ok, my DC's name is NotADC.
