Hello. Anyone know how to resolve replication issues with COM servers?

@tylerloch Possible it could be related to Dell's SafeBIOS:

Rather than storing BIOS and Firmware information on the hardware itself, which is susceptible to corruption, Dell SafeBIOS delivers an off-host BIOS and Intel ME verification capability.

Hello. I have a Dell Latitude 5450 getting stuck on "EFI stub: Loaded initrd from command line option". I updated the BIOS and disabled secure boot. Any other ideas?

@theopenem_admin Hey, just following up. Is there a fix for this?

@theopenem_admin OK. Great, thank you!

@theopenem_admin Yes. I've updated the images in the prior weeks and working consistently well in terms of replicating. The image deletion was performed over a month ago. I just noticed it after reviewing storage space on the dashboard and remoted in to confirm the deleted image is still there.

Hello. When deleting an image, Action -> Delete Selected Images, didn't replicate to the COM servers. Is there a setting that I'm missing? Thank you.

Hello. Attempting to use the %username% variable in a script module with no success.

cd\
xcopy C:\ApplyThese\start2.bin "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState" /D /C /Y

However, it works fine if I specify the exact path. Is there a workaround or setting I'm missing? Thanks.

cd\
xcopy C:\ApplyThese\start2.bin "C:\Users\administrator\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.StartMenuExperienceHost_cw5n1h2txyewy\LocalState" /D /C /Y

@theopenem_admin Thought you might find this of interest. There is a tool called PsExec that can remotely call up gui applications via command line. Can be downloaded from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/psexec. Below are some examples:

psexec \\computername -u domain\username -p password -i 1 -d notepad
psexec \\computername -u username -p password -i 1 -d C:\Windows\System32\DisplaySwitch.exe 2

Perhaps this can be integrated into TOEMS?
