  • Tanium has some common apps pre-packaged and regularly updated, you could just setup an ongoing deployment for those to automate keeping them up to date with minimal work on your part.

    If you need to update something not on that list, you will need to make an upgrade package yourself with the updated installer or files.

    Whether this is actually easy or not really depends on the app vendor and the software. It’s usually straight forward, but not always. But that’s the case with literally any software deployment solution.

    I have one app in particular who’s install and config essentially un-automateable. But it’s a shitty LOB app that was written in the 90’s to be intentionally obtuse to prevent privacy, hopefully that’s not an issue in your case.


  • We are using Tanium, just put the agent on the servers and you are good to go…build your packages and set up deployment jobs.

    It also handles Windows patching, and can do system inventory, among other features.

    It’s also great for software deployments to you remote workforce systems that are rarely/never on the corporate network.

    And seriously, you want a domain. GPOs are incredibly useful for pushing out a huge variety of Windows config changes extremely easily.



  • Dunno if Lexx is really worth it tbh. The original movies were worth watching just because it was so weird and different.

    But if you were on the fence after those, well it doesn’t really change. Just season after season of the same sort of plots…if you like that, it’s great. If you don’t, it’s gonna get old really fast.

    I rewatched all of Andromeda recently, and after a season and a half is was mostly awful, but it was occasionally entertaining.

    I rewatched the first Lexx movie, remembered why I never finished the show the first time around, and moved on to something else.
