Remote provisioning challenge

We manage a large number remote devices that sit in low bandwidth customer networks (running end of life Ubuntu). I am looking at the best upgrade bath to get from 32bit to 64bit. Looks like inplace upgrades are out, and due to scale and remote locations manual intervention is not ideal.

I’m looking at remote re-provisioning options that don’t require pxe or a boot disk. Would Forman+discovery work for us? Are there any other solutions?

Edit. Just to add no physical access to devices and no pxe as we don’t manage the network they are on.

Been asked to set-up a process for 100% remote provisioning.

hello, i'm sure many of you are experiencing similar things, or have in the past. we have a local AD, and generally laptops are PXE imaged. if there is a stay-at-home ordered issued, we will need to provision equipment 100% remotely. this will probably involve laptops being shipped to my home.

has anyone overcome a similar situation and any recommendations?

No Service - SIM in a provisioning state

I ported my number out from Verizon yesterday and when my Verizon service stopped working, popped in my Mint SIM. Immediately say bars on my iPhone showing Mint and LTE data but no data and can’t make calls. Any calls I attempt to make route out to customer support.

When I spoke with them they said my SIM wasn’t active yet but should be in the next 30 minutes. I waited overnight and still no service this morning.

When I went into the app this morning to activate my card it showed this message:

β€œThe SIM entered is in a provisioning state and cannot be reactivated at this time.”

I can’t believe provisioning takes more than 1-2 minutes so I’m unsure why it’s been nearly 18 hours without service. Any ideas?

Moto G7 VoLTE problems: IMS is not registered, despite new sim card and provisioning by carrier.

I'm hoping someone here can help me. I am struggling to figure out how to have IMS registration on my Moto G7 XT1962-1. We are on Cricket network, which is not officially supported for VoLTE, but I have provided the IMEI of another approved phone so that the carrier will provision VoLTE for my account.

However, unlike my other phones, the G7 is the only one that is failing to recognize this provisioning. I cannot get the IMS status to say Registered. I have tried all the Preferred network types and the radio bands, it is still not working. I have confirmed that I have a sim card capable of VoLTE services.

I even tried to use Activity Launcher to see if I could access Enhanced LTE services from there. Doesn't seem to be a menu like that, hidden or otherwise. I am guessing Moto support will not be able to help me since it is not official use.

Has anyone had this problem? How can I fix it?

What do you use for remote router provisioning?

We're a business ISP planning to expand to residential this year. We're comparing residential/small business router CPE's. Right now we're considering Cambium, Mikrotik, and Ubiquity. We recently stumbled upon SmartRG which offers a remote management platform that can monitor, configure, and provision remotely. This is especially appealing because some of our locations can be a 3 hour drive. What platform do you use that does this? What do you think of it? Like an alternative to Meraki as far as provisioning goes.

SIM/Device provisioning - LTE speeds based on device

A few posters have stated that a mobile hotspot line is more future proof then a WHPI line due to how it's provisioned. I'm wondering if there is a (not totally ELI5) explanation to the reasoning behind this. I've always assumed a data connection is a data connection and limitations (max speed capabilities) are mainly device driven.

In my case - I placed an order to activate the MC7700 modem in my laptop on my unlimited plus plan. This is a bottom of the barrel modem for today's standards. If I upgrade to the latest/greatest modem will I be able to enjoy the faster speeds?

Thanks!!

Red Hat Satellite w/ Provisioning - Remote Command Execution (x-post /r/redhat)

Anyone aware of a method to enable remote command execution when clients check-in with a Satellite server when:

  • Deployments are behind firewall, cannot ssh
  • Several deployments are headless and remote, keyboard service is a no go
  • For the majority of deployments, it is not desirable to send a script to the user

As you can probably tell, I am really trying to avoid putting my hands on all of our deployments. I was thinking that I could create a custom software channel with a single rpm comprised of a shell script to execute rhn-actions-control --enable-run then force subscription and installation...but I feel like I'm making it harder than it is.

Any ideas? (Time is a bit sensitive, oops.)

Edit: Sorry for not responding to you all, I had to go into overdrive. I really appreciate all of the ideas and helped me brainstorm. Long story short: I could not mitigate this with my "Custom Channel - Custom RPM" idea because I am only an organizational administrator (should have included this key info) and not a Satellite administrator - unable to create channels. I managed to rally some extra hands onto machines I could not access physically or via ssh and luckily mitigated the issue on ~85% of active deployments...took a lot of time and my weekend. Unfortunately, it is a waiting game for the rest, probably one where the user will contact me because "hey, yum isn't working". Not to mention, if I can't get to them over the network, I at least know that no one else [most likely] can either.

For future use, should someone stumble on this post: Take a close look at man rhn-actions-control. Verify the machine's status with rhn-actions-control --report. You can also verify via the directory structure and files existing in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/script[/run] and /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/configfiles[/all]. If you're kickstarting from Satellite -> "Enable Red Hat Satellite Configuration Management" and "Enable Red Hat Satellite Remote Commands" need to be checked. (You could still include a post-install script to verify the above-referenced files exist and touch them should they not.) I know this is all in the Satellite reference material but wanted to condense it.

Thanks again for the help, everyone!

AT&T Owners - Provisioning a new SIM for LTE

After reading this thread:

https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/guide-how-to-enable-lte-on-at-t.54775/

It seems pretty annoying that you have to jump through hoops to get your OPO working with LTE on AT&T if you need a new SIM card. I am currently with Verizon, and will be making the switch once I receive an invite, but it seems like a pain in the ass to get a new SIM card and have it work fully with the OPO.

Any redditors have luck provisioning a NEW SIM on AT&T with LTE speeds? It seems like some people were able to use the OPO IMEI and have LTE work.

Provisioning a Campus AP remotely throught a Zerotier virtual network

Hi,

I have a Wifi Aruba with virtual mobility master and controllers installed in the main office.

To extend the corporative network to an small remote office I am implementing Zeotier for that communication . It uses OpenWRTΒ΄s as routers to bridge internals networks of two sites.

  • Main Office

OpenWRT+Zerotier [172.18.18.11]

*Internal network with VLAN's, MM and MC

  • Remote Office

OpenWRT+Zerotier[172.18.18.10]

*LAN whithout VLAN's [192.168.122.0/5]

I'm triying to provisioning a CAP from the remote office to the MC located at Main Office.

The CAP was provisioned but that AP (IAP-103) reboots frecuently. In the MM the AP is showed down or up for few minutes.

The AP has IP : 192.168.122.5 (internal remote network) , but in MM, this AP is showed with IP [172.18.18.10] (OpenWRT)

Windows Provisioning Packages + Powershell: Who wants an alternative to imaging computers or setting them up manually?

Updated 08-APR-2021: Fixed "InstallDrivers" command in Site Setup, Step 2

I hate images.

When I was first introduced to imaging as a young tech, I thought it was the best thing in the world. You take hundreds of computers that are fresh out of the box and you get them all to the same needed configuration en mass, with rare discrepancies. There are plenty of ways to deploy an image, with hard drives, thumb drives, boot to network, etc. A lot of thought and effort has gone into the imaging market, and I've used many of the products. Then I advanced enough in my career that I started being the guy making the images. Seems simple enough, but it turns out there's a lot of gotchas.

Whether I was deploying images or creating them, I started seeing things that just bugged me. This department wants a different image from that department. The image you just made doesn't have the drivers needed for the new chipset that just came out. That program has a severe security vulnerability and needs to be removed from every computer on the network (but it's on the image). What's that? The image is 6 months old and now spends hours installing updates before it can be deployed? The list goes on. It seems the answer to every issue was, create a new image FROM SCRATCH! I tried to mitigate the worst offenses by scripting updates and changes that needed to be done post imaging which resolved much of my frustration, and then I started scripting the image creation process. Then it hit me, if I'm scripting the image creation process and the updates to apply to a machine after, why do I need an image? Why not just script the entire computer setup process?

After years of developing and refinement, my machine set up process is this.

  1. New machine comes in and needs to be setup.
  2. I copy an appropriate config file to a prepare usb flash drive.
  3. I connect ethernet to the new computer and boot to the flash drive.
  4. I come back a couple hours later, do some basic quality checks, and hand the computer to the customer.

It makes my heart swell with pride when I see a computer install the latest version of Window 10, name itself, create accounts, install programs, configure settings, join a customers vpn if needed, join the domain, install our remote management tool, all that and more, then play a happy little tune at the end when it's done to alert me of it's victory. It's at the point where I've taken entry level techs and after giving them 5 minutes of instructions, they're

What functionality, features & provisioning should all apps contain?

Just beginning to code my project, which is pretty simple in scope, using SwiftUI. But despite having worked through a number of Swift courses over the past 18 months, I still worry I might leave out some essential or desirable features. Is there like a checklist of functionality that all apps should include? Thinking of features like:

  • handling transitions into background
  • ensuring user data is saved at the right times
  • handling audio, e.g. whether users' music continues to play
  • analytics
  • privacy and security considerations
  • provisioning for localization
  • crash and error handling

Google returned pretty general top-level aspects, rather than code-level considerations. Thanks for any suggestions and comments.

Very slow enrollment/provisioning?

Hi all,

We've noticed over the last week or so that our intune provisioning of machines has started to go very very slowly. You can log into the machines fine and they enroll in MDM fine but the first push of scripts, configuration profiles, and apps seems to happen very very slowly over a period of about 6-8 hours.

Not everything though, some scripts and apps are applied instantly on login and the rest will sporadically install throughout the duration. A reboot or manual sync of the account will sometimes speed it up but not always.

Anyone else experiencing this or know of a way to make Microsoft push things out a bit more aggressively? I understand why there are delays with Intune versus on premise but we don't have that many apps or config so it doesn't need to be quite as cautious as it's being.

  3. Make some tweaks via ansible (add user/keys, some packages, iptables rules, etc)
  4. Move server to the prod network segment and transfer to app admins.

Items 1,3,4 already automated with Ansible, now time to OS install process.

I'm looking to maas.io, but it looks some overkill for my purpose.
