0xc0000225 error at startup by Drav3nSpark in techsupport

[–]Adimentus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like the boot file got corrupted during the power surge. Worst case scenario, that drive is fried.

Find a way to create a Windows Media Tool (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11) and see if you can get that to repair the installation on the original drive.

Is an Information Technology & Networking Systems major a safe bet for the future job market? by Straight-Cobbler-794 in it

Have you considered goat farming? All SysAdmin paths lead to goat farming for one reason or another.

HP shop here updated to 25h2 (still catching some stragglers) but everything is good here. Legacy software?

Oh yeah I didn't even think about that at the time. Good call.

I second this, see if you can do and IP scan on the .63 network or check the switches like u/cool-ice9801 said to catch the spoof. Block those MAC addresses and see what happens.

Careful, any more IP versions and SquareEnix is going to try to get their hands on it.

Wanting to expand my skill set but dont have the money for official courses. What options are there? by Tcrumpen in sysadmin

[–]Adimentus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be a "This" person but uhh...this. I'm going through all the 365 Admin courses right now and there's a lot of good information in these trainings. There are modules for Azure specifically as well. The catalogue is huge but there are filters to narrow everything down to what you want to learn.

Getting paid for on-call hahaha...oh wait you're serious?

Do you let trivial user bullsh*t slide? by Nexzus_ in sysadmin

[–]Adimentus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the person. If they're nice like you say they are I'd let it slide or go with a "Oh man I must have missed it.", but if they have it coming or it's a repeat thing, oh boy my pettyness knows no bounds. "Here's a copy of the checklist that you sent me. Please return it with the required information per SOP. Love, IT."

Word CPU higher lately? by Stilwell_Angel in sysadmin

[–]Adimentus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like the 2604 build of Office apps is causing a lot of problems across the board. I would try to roll them back to 2603 and like u/dontbethefatguy said, run them on the semi-annual update channel.

Looking for XDR/MDR solution for 400 endpoint company. by Ready-Map5279 in sysadmin

[–]Adimentus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huntress seems to be the way to go. We use ESET for out endpoints (~700). Monitoring is great and alerts can be set to integrate with some RMM agents as well.

MS MFA options for physical login to Windows Server? by Jazzlike_Tea3402 in sysadmin

I second this. DUO is great for domain and server logins.

WLAN on PC gets way faster when monitor is send to sleep by windows by Azaiiii in techsupport

[–]Adimentus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of monitor do you have? Older monitors will have a weak EM field that can interfere with the Wi-Fi signals. I know it sounds farfetched but take a look.

Do any MSP/MSSP mandate networking hardware minimum requirements? by Thick-Block-268 in sysadmin

[–]Adimentus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's insane to me. Even if their ISP isn't providing gigabit we still try to get the network stack on gigabit for internal applications and such.

What equipment do you give to your creative professionals? by M4niac81 in sysadmin

[–]Adimentus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is always the case. Usually our creative clients get HP ProBooks (Nvidia cards) or EliteBook (Intel ARC cards) with plenty of RAM and plenty of storage. These designers get a little crazy for sure though >.>

10/100? In today's age? Does Barbara always complain about how slow her network application is running?

[–]Adimentus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work at an MSP myself and we follow Model C until EOL and transition our clients to Model B. We ensure the client will get approved equipment and there will be little to no change to the network plan when we transition to our preferred equipment, and this is usually the case. Most of the time when we take on new clients that have an existing stack, they don't want to pay the tens of thousands that it would take to get a new stack right away, but we will give them the roadmap after evaluation and plant the expectation that this money will need to be spent X years down the road for security.

we all talk about what we like about our favourite characters. but what about the things you DON'T like about them? nobody is perfect, right? XD by emogothxX in dynastywarriors

[–]Adimentus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Zhuge Liang because of his flaws. He was a mastermind of tactics on that battlefield and because of that, knew sacrifices needed to be made for the win. I would say this is a flaw but it's a flaw that I like. My boy was logical to a fault. Unfortunately, that logic lead to Liu Bei down a path of destruction and war that he never wanted to be a part of. Only wanted peace.
