My firm uses MDT to build all of our computers. The windows updates are setup as packages so they can be applied to the OS before it is laid down on the PC.

I have wanted a PowerShell script that would generate an excel report listing all of the inactive systems, if they are in active directory, and the last time someone logged onto the system if it is in AD. As we all know, it is easy to overlook these systems and they can accumulate, even if the cleanup is setup in SCCM. I chose to use SCCM as the definitive report because it pulls it's initial listing of systems from AD.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

Due to the changing nature of technology, the CIO role continues to be shaken up, refined, reinvented and reenergized and many IT organizations are at a cross road to either being transformed to be a more value-added digital engine for their business growth or being irrelevant as a cost center only.

IT needs to be running in a more proactive digital mode, rather than in a reactive industrial mode. Many traditional IT organizations still run in a reactive, "keeping the light on" mode, in pursuit of efficiency (doing more with less), but putting less effort on achieving agility (running with faster speed to adapt to the changes) and maturity (doing things better to delight customers, not just keeping IT functioning).
