My Articles
Below are links to my author feed on other websites. On different blogs, often get to focus on very different material (System Center or in depth Active Directory guides for example) If any interest you or if you have any questions, be sure to let me know!
- 4sysops Author Feed: Many of these articles focus on System Center and OS deployment.
- Adaxes Author Feed: Articles here have a heavy focus on Active Directory and object automation.
- NetWrix Author Feed: This content covers Group Policy and Security.
- Simple-Talk Author Feed: These tend to be very deep articles on specific problems (such as printer migrations).
I found your article on SCCM and WSUS on 4sysops.com and it appears that you may be able to answer a question I have. We have an instance of WSUS running on an old server platform (2003) which I am trying to eliminate instead of upgrade. Our organization wanted to explore SCCM 2012 R2 and I have been working with SCCM now for a couple of years I am reasonably competent but still learning. I am now trying to bring SUP into the SCCM framework it is all configured updates sync’d (not downloaded) I have filtered the updates into separate Software Update groups. However, I think I maybe making the setup of SUP more complicated than I need to or I am just too accustomed to WSUS being separate. As you know the computers check with WSUS and acquire all needed updated regardless of collections for a Windows 7 computer with Office 2013 will pull down Windows 7 and Office 2013 updates install them and reboot according to the GPO schedule. The confusion I am fighting through is do you really need to create a separate deployment “profile” for Windows 7, 8, Server x, y, z, and Office in order for the computers to get updates. I very basic terms is there a simple method to “approve” needed updates (WSUS terms) and tell all computers to pull down and install needed updates? I hope this was clear enough I have done many google search on this subject and all them seem to circle back to reference materials I already have where each OS and each Office has to configured separately.
Hi.
Great article about “Enable AD Authentication on network Switches”.
It really simplified my administrative tasks with HP Procurve Switches…
Is it possible to add a NPS Network Policy (for HP switches) with attribute Information enabling the logged in user operator rights only (READ only), not administrator rights ??
(I don’t want all users to have write rights to the switches)
I cannot figure out how to do this ???
According to Procurves documentation, you’ll want to use this:
To supply a privilege level via RADIUS, specify the “Service-Type” attribute in the user’s credentials.
Service-Type = 6 allows manager-level access
Service-Type = 7 allows operator-level access
A user with Service-Type not equal to 6 or 7 is denied access
A user with no Service-Type attribute supplied is denied access when privilege mode is enabled

Thanks a lot.
