Everyowkring from home and access to on-site locations are limited, imagine the chaos of everyone at their office having to travel to IT to fix their PC, or IT traveling to locations with problems while trying to maintain isolation rules.
It still is a nightmare. Most people never return to the office so this issue essentially still exists. It's actually not that hard to fix now since we have a patch it's just fiddly.
I am wondering if I can just re-image from an ISO on a USB drive, because I think most systems are set up automatically to boot from USB as the primary device. Should save a lot of time.
Can confirm. I have 200 users and at least 1/4th of that work from home at any time. Anything that requires hands on approach you can't do over remote assistancce software is a logistical nightmare, mostly because people can't or wont swing by office.
Everyone I know still works from home, but they all use MacBook Pros.
