Note to self

With current situation regarding COVID, many companies have users with work laptops happily(?) working remotely. If devices rely on KMS for activation, many devices might suddenly be prompting users if they have not been able to check in for a while. You can search you KMS logs for activations (or not). You may be lucky and be able to go back pre-lockdown and pull out devices that initially connected but have'nt been seen since. In the KMS host, you can pull out the event logs and export to CSV.

IPs and URLs The email alert has been re-jigged to show the latest updates instead of just an alert that there were changes. Minor tweaks and adjustments Miscellaneous Diagnostics can be enabled/disabled in the config file PAC file creation can be enabled/disabled in the config file Dashboard now checks for the .css file as well as ok/warning/error jpgs and copies them if not found (ie a new install) You can find the updated package on github  https://github.com/JonathanChristie-BHIT/Office365-Info
