Mystery Solved: Bitlocker is enabled, but Intune shows the computer as non-compliant for Require Bitlocker

For some time, I have struggled to understand why Intune reports some computers as non-compliant with the "Require Bitlocker" setting, even though Bitlocker is enabled and working on the computer.  In my searches for an explanation, I found the same question asked by many others, but never an answer.  Until today. I accidentally stumbled across this article from Microsoft's Rob Lane , which explains how the Require Bitlocker setting is evaluated and why it might seem to incorrectly report a non-compliant state.  I encourage you to check out that article for full details.  I'll just summarize here the part that suddenly made this bitlocker compliance issue make sense to me. The "Require Bitlocker" setting in Intune relies on the Device Health Attestation (DHA) service in Windows 10 to report the state of Bitlocker encryption on the computer.  If Bitlocker protection is disabled or suspended, DHA will report that the computer is non-compliant with this ...

Windows 10 Credential Guard breaks WiFi

Recently, I ran into an issue with computers running windows 10 that would not connect to our WPA2-Enterprise encrypted wifi network.  When it failed to connect, there was no indication of why, only the message "Can't connect to this network."  The computers were able to connect to unencrypted networks and networks using a Pre-shared key for WPA encryption without issue. Checking the event logs on the RADIUS server to see why the comptuer failed to connect, there was no log entry for a connection attempt from the affected system.  The WLAN-Auto-Config log on the client listed a couple of errors, including Event ID 11006 and 12013, but other than showing that the failure reason was "Explicit EAP failure received", they didn't give much to go on: Log Name:      Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig/Operational Source:        Microsoft-Windows-WLAN-AutoConfig Date:          8/15/2016 1:11:20 PM Event ID:   ...

import-gvhistory: Export Google Voice SMS/Text Messages and Call logs to CSV using Powershell

Here is a script I wrote to parse the thousands of HTML files produced by Google Takeout when exporting Google Voice data.  This script parses the html files to gather the Contact Name, Number, time, type (Placed/received etc), duration, and (text/voicemail) message contents for every phone call and text message, and outputs them as a powershell object which can be further filtered or manipulated and then exported into a csv or other format as needed. Basic examples of how to use this script are included in the script comments.  If you download the script and have trouble, or if it works perfectly, please leave a comment and let me know. **Update 12/20/2014** I've just posted step by step instructions for how to use the script.. **Update 11/16/2015** The script has been updated due to a change in how Google Takeout exports the timestamps.
