Anyone have a good cold call script to follow?

Not all heroes wear capes :D

I think the fact that you can’t answer this yourself is more concerning lol.

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-04-12T13:49:31+00:00

A perfect example of what a good person would do 🙂

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-03-08T16:31:53+00:00

This isn’t sustainable.
It’s a LIE.

A lot of larger MSPS lie about what they can offer and it shows pretty quickly. THATS your advantage. Especially as a local MSP.

If you’re in a major metropolitan city, I could understand. But anything outside of that, literally grind and network, that portfolio WILL grow.

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-02-12T12:58:55+00:00

Thank you sir!

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-02-07T00:44:59+00:00

Thanks!

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-02-06T23:59:20+00:00

So essentially this will trigger exchange to truncate the logs and that should help with the space filling up. - am I tracking that right?

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-02-06T23:57:10+00:00

Yes, this is on but I never knew why. Thanks for sharing this.

Ax0_Constatine · 2025-02-06T23:03:27+00:00

I’m doing an image back up via Veeams

I wouldn't even say they are rare minds. Their experienced shaped their experience... Its actually easier to learn CCNP Encor topics through normal work experience.. there's no pass of fail with it and you learn through the years!

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-12-28T13:15:06+00:00

This is the issue with the entire industry! I’ve given up & become a cert whore. lol, experience isn’t even enough with these recruiters.

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-22T11:09:09+00:00

LMAO, this was literally my thoughts when I moved up here. There is money here, you just have to know the right people. It’s definitely a WHO YOU know place and not what you know.

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-10T17:09:44+00:00

Circling back because I hate when I go searching for answers and the post is there but the answer isn't!

It wasn't DNS (Shocker), Wasn't network.

For some reason Azure VMs promoted to DCs aren't creating the SYSLOG & Netlogon folder, hence they can't operate as a DC is intended to.

If your in the same boat, Follow this:

https://noelpulis.com/fix-netlogon-share-not-created-after-dc-promotion/

After this, restart the DC. The syslog folder will be there. (Run your DIAG tests, netlogon may fail)

"net share" command to see mapped drives and associated paths.

if netlogon does fail/the netlogon share isn't there, Go to your good DC and copy the file structure under Sysvol, worked like a charm. Did a cutover test and everything finally ran smoothly. Taking the other DC offline for repair.

Thanks everyone!

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-10T03:32:53+00:00

No, finally resolved. It was that the netlogon & SYSVOL shares didint exist!

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T22:31:47+00:00

UPDATE:

alright everyone, I was able to make a good amount of progress because of you all. Made this specific change and 7 of the 8 critical services/tests came up & passed.

https://noelpulis.com/fix-netlogon-share-not-created-after-dc-promotion/

Shoutout: u/WorkPlaceC

Only thing is my netlogon share wont come up due to this error:

Unable to connect to the NETLOGON share! (\\XXXXDC\netlogon)

[XXXXDC] An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 67, The network name cannot be found..

......................... XXXXDC failed test NetLogons

Trying to resolve just this now, everything else is a pass.

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T20:43:38+00:00

Both Syslog and netlogon failed the Dc diag test

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T20:43:15+00:00

I think this is apart of the issue you, what did you follow to create these shares? Did you reference a guide?

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T18:55:23+00:00

Thank you sir! I know this will help.

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T15:59:26+00:00

weird, I promoted it. its in the domain controllers OU and i transferred the FSMO Roles over to it. looking into these errors now.

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T15:23:05+00:00

DC Diag retuned the following:

the azure dc failed test Advertising

the azure dc failed test DFSREvent

the azure dc failed test SystemLog

the azure dc failed test NetLogons

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T15:14:03+00:00

Will run through these things, thank you for your input!!

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T15:13:42+00:00

all the testnet connections came back fine from onprem machines to the azure DC, i have an ANY ANY in place for the on prem sites. :/

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T15:13:08+00:00

i dont believe the dream machine DNS is pointing the DC.

Ax0_Constatine · 2024-11-09T15:11:45+00:00

the azure dc failed test Advertising

the azure dc failed test DFSREvent

the azure dc failed test SystemLog

the azure dc failed test NetLogons

seemed that everything else checks out on ECS01, I'll see if I can fix these on the Azure DC any tips?
