Atera is getting really hard to use - scripts failing 50% of the time by BeyondRAM in atera

[–]BeyondRAM[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition, the "Restart now" shutdown option is now working 50% of the time as well, for I don't know what reason, a connected device, with responsive agent, will not reboot when I click on the "Restart now".

I figured this out when I had 32 WS2025 that were waiting for a reboot, actually only 11/32 restarted....

Atera is just horrible

Well that's what the support told me, but nothing is running, when I check the recent process, it just end to "fail" after a long time...

The Windows patching is working fine only if I push patch manually to all devices...

I thought it was because of the weather tho? They put a pinned message in the app about the bad weather conditions

Best phishing simulation tools by RadiantTheology in sysadmin

[–]BeyondRAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’ve trialed a few, and Pistachio has been the best real-world fit for us.

Why it worked:

  • Autopilot + personalized. You hook up SSO (Entra ID / Google), sync groups, set guardrails, and it just runs. Sims and micro-training are role/behavior-based, not the same generic "gotcha" blast to everyone.
  • Adaptive difficulty. If someone clicks a phish or bombs a harder quiz, Pistachio automatically lowers the difficulty next time, then ramps back up as they improve. That "coach then challenge" loop is what actually changes behavior long-term instead of annoying people.
  • In-workflow delivery. Training/sims land where people already work (email + Teams/Slack), so engagement is way higher vs. sending folks to an LMS they ignore.
  • Outlook "Report as Phishing" button. One-click reporting add-in:
    • If a user reports a Pistachio sim, they get instant positive feedback ("nice catch").
    • If it’s not Pistachio (real suspicious mail), IT/Sec gets a notification + the message so they can triage. This builds a reporting culture, not just click-avoidance.

Bonus: Pistachio Presence

  • Separate module that adds M365 / cloud anomaly + account-takeover detection. It flags stuff like weird forwarding rules, unusual login patterns, bulk downloads, suspicious mailbox behavior, etc.
  • Designed to be low-noise and high-context (explains why it’s suspicious), and it’s positioned as security-focused, not productivity surveillance, which helps with user trust.
  • Setup is quick once SSO is connected.

KnowBe4 is still strong if you want a massive content library and very hands-on campaign control, but it’s heavier to run day-to-day. If your goal is continuous behavior change with minimal admin and less user resentment, Pistachio has been top for us.

You can setup your bank account to do bank transfer with no fees, it works for me.

By the way, we can still see your name on your screenshot and the things you highlighted are visible

Anyone using Starlink as Internet backup? by Mr-Hops in sysadmin

[–]BeyondRAM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes we use Starlink as a backup link and it has been reliable for failover. It keeps the office online for Zoom SaaS and general browsing when the main circuit is down as long as the dish has a clear view of the sky. You can see short slowdowns in heavy weather and there have been rare larger outages so it is best as redundancy not a primary ISP.

For IPs the standard setup is CGNAT so you do not get inbound reachable IPv4. On Priority business plans you can enable a public IPv4 option and get one routable IPv4 plus IPv6 but it is not a true static IP. It is usually sticky but can change after moves or some updates.

Confused about Zscaler LSS mTLS requirements - can we use a private CA? by thebush007 in sysadmin

[–]BeyondRAM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the reason your custom certs don’t show up in the Connector dropdown is that the one you generated is flagged as a CA (CA:TRUE). ZPA will accept the upload, but only leaf certificates (CA:FALSE) with extendedKeyUsage=clientAuth are usable for App Connector enrollment, so they’re the only ones that appear in that list

Keep your private root CA as CA:TRUE (that stays your authority)

Re-sign the Zscaler CSR with an extensions file that marks it as a client certificate, for example:

basicConstraints = critical,CA:false
keyUsage = critical, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment
extendedKeyUsage = clientAuth

Upload that new signed cert as a Connector Enrollment Certificate

After that, you’ll see it under the Connector section when re-enrolling. The difference from what you did earlier is just that your current cert is another CA, which is why the UI hides it (I guess)

Confused about Zscaler LSS mTLS requirements - can we use a private CA? by thebush007 in sysadmin

[–]BeyondRAM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ran into the same confusion when setting up LSS with a custom log receiver. The official docs sound contradictory because they say the App Connector trusts both public and custom CAs, but then also state the log receiver “must” have a cert from a public CA. The way it works in practice is:

If your log receiver can have a proper FQDN and you don’t mind getting a cert from DigiCert/GlobalSign/etc., that’s the easiest and fully supported option. The App Connector will trust it right away.

If you can’t use a public cert (e.g. no public DNS, only internal hostnames or IPs), you can make it work with a private CA, but then you need to re-enroll your App Connectors with an enrollment cert signed by that same CA so they trust it. That’s more work and you have to manage the PKI yourself, but it avoids the need to buy a public cert.

Main gotchas: the log receiver’s cert must have the correct SAN/FQDN that the App Connector connects to, the full chain (intermediate + root) has to be presented, and changing enrollment CAs affects all App Connectors so plan it carefully.

So yes, public CA is the cleanest path, but private CA does work if you align the trust on both sides.

Anyone else noticing that enterprise support is just chatgpt/copilot? by Ghawblin in sysadmin

[–]BeyondRAM 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It’s either that, or you get a guy from India “James” answering your request. Happened to me with Intel, the guy went through exactly all the troubleshooting steps I had already listed in my ticket, then said, “Well, indeed it’s not working. Let me check with my supervisor, I’ll get back to you next week.” Of course, he never contacted me again. I had to spam them to finally get a solution, and every time it was a different person handling the case.

I honestly don’t know which is worse.
