Comment on CrowdStrike Isn't the Real Problem

This is a good solution for these types of scenarios. Doesn’t fit all though. Where I work, 85% of staff work from home. We largely use SaaS. I’m struggling to think of a good method here other than walking them through reinstalling windows on all their machines.

Configure PXE to reboot into recovery image, push out command to remove bad file. Reboot. Done.

or

Have recovery image already installed. Have user reboot & push key to boot into recovery. Push out fix. Done.

  I had no idea you could remotely configure pxe to reboot into a recovery image and run a script. How do you do this?

  Fuck yeah. Even better than reimagine. That’s creative as fuck and I love it.

That’s still 15% less work though. If I had to manually fix 1000 computers, clicking a few buttons to automatically fix 150 of them sounds like a sweet-ass deal to me even if it’s not universal.

You could also always commandeer a conference room or three and throw a switch on the table. “Bring in your laptop and go to conference room 3. Plug in using any available cable on the table and reboot your computer. Should be ready in an hour or so. There’s donuts and coffee in conference room 4.” Could knock out another few dozen.

Won’t help for people across the country, but if they’re nearish, it’s not too bad.

  Not a lot of nearish. It would be pretty bad if this happened here.
