A problem is just a solution waiting to be found
A vulnerability was found in 7-Zip 21.07 that can be exploited through the 7-Zip Help file. This post will show how to remediate this vulnerability by deleting the 7-zip.chm file. In this post I will show you 2 ways you can accomplish this:
With a MECM (SCCM) configuration item deployment and with Intune script. In this post I will remediate the 7-zip (all versions) 64 bits version with MECM, and only the 21.07 (32 and 64 bits) version with Intune.
Update 2203 for Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM) is now available. In this post I will show all the steps you have to take to upgrade your current MECM installation. To install MECM 2203 as an update, you must have MECM version 2010 or later installed. If you check for updates in your console and the update is not available this post also shows how to get it using the early update ring script. I personally would not install the new version when it still is in the early ring on your production environment but it would be suited for a lab or test environment. When the new version is available in the production ring usually there is an hotfix available already so that would be a good version to install on your MECM production.

One of these new features is Improved user experience and security with Software Center custom tabs. You can now use the Microsoft Edge WebView2 browser control in MECM version 2103 and with this control more websites should work with custom tabs without displaying script errors or security warnings. We had a lot of script errors before when using custom tabs to websites, but now these errors should be gone.

I got a request at work that it would be nice if users already have got some of the companies custom teams background that they can select as their background in a meeting. They wouldn’t have to upload the images themselves but they would already be in teams to select. It also should be easy to add new custom backgrounds if needed. So I made a powershell script with a colleague of mine that would do this. In this post I will show you how this script works and you can use it yourself.
