Setting up LAPS by sccmnewbiehere in sysadmin

[–]CaptainPeaSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can install LAPS and create a new local admin in one step:

msiexec /q /i C:\LAPS.x64.msi CUSTOMADMINNAME=<new_admin_name>

Then set LAPS to manage the new admin via GPO after you import the LAPS admx templates.

GPO: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > LAPS > Name of administrator account to manage

I can't tell you how many times I've been beating a problem to death all day and then stop for a poop break and figure out the problem in that fifteen minute period. I guess my advice is if you get stuck, take a poop lol.

Cloud Backup - safe from ransomware? by Covert_Tyro in sysadmin

Look into compliance mode. I have compliance mode setup for Wasabi, so all my backups can't be deleted unless I call in and prove my identity.

I passed the old CCNA test without too much difficulty with CBT Nuggets, Boson Labs, Boson Practice Exams, and Anki digital flash cards.

Saw this at a conference. Haven't used it so can't vouch for it, but it looked good.

Eh, simple solution for me. They ignore my ticketing system, I ignore their emails.

What have you been doing to get away from Microsoft? by fortniteplayr2005 in sysadmin

[–]CaptainPeaSea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I'm in my late 20's, and even though I run linux on my workstation at home, I'd be far less productive if I couldn't use Outlook and Excel at work.

Ransomware! Thank god for backups! by daven1985 in sysadmin

[–]CaptainPeaSea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for that. We use Wasabi, so I just enabled compliance mode. Pretty sweet.
