Fix "Top-level Await Not Available" Errors in JS

The inability to use the `await` keyword outside of an `async` function indicates a JavaScript environment that doesn’t support this feature. This typically occurs in older JavaScript engines or environments where the necessary updates haven’t been implemented. For instance, attempting to use `await` directly within a module’s top level in an older browser or Node.js version will trigger this error. A workaround involves wrapping the code within an immediately invoked async function expression.

Support for this functionality simplifies asynchronous code at the top level of modules, removing the need for immediately invoked async functions. This leads to cleaner and more readable code, particularly when dealing with module initialization involving asynchronous operations like fetching resources or establishing connections. The historical context involves the evolution of JavaScript’s asynchronous handling; older versions lacked this feature, requiring more complex workarounds. Modern environments embracing the latest JavaScript standards generally provide this capability.

6+ GPO Item-Level Targeting Examples & Tips

Applying granular control over the deployment of settings and software within a Microsoft Active Directory environment enables administrators to specify which users and computers receive particular configurations based on criteria such as operating system, location, or department membership. For instance, specific security settings could be applied only to workstations in a finance department, ensuring compliance without affecting other areas of the organization.

This fine-grained management approach offers significant advantages over broader, less targeted methods. It improves security posture by limiting the application of potentially sensitive configurations to only those systems that require them, reduces the risk of unintended consequences from misapplied settings, and streamlines administrative overhead by automating the deployment process based on predefined criteria. Historically, achieving this level of control required complex scripting and manual processes, making precise management challenging. Modern tools have simplified this, enabling more effective and efficient administration.
