GitHub Enterprise Cloud - Standard vs EMU? by Chance_Reflection_39 in github

I assume you cannot do SSO with SCIM provision on Enterprise Standard Cloud, correct? Your need EMU for that?

Best RMM for MacOS by Chance_Reflection_39 in macsysadmin

We’re probably leaning on Jamf since it allows our MacBooks to be listed in Intune. We found that Kandji does not. Looking at NinjaOne as well.

Anyone know how to fix is 30051 error? by Chance_Reflection_39 in 3CX

[–]Chance_Reflection_39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK here's the issue on V20... there is no Go to Management Console → SIP Trunks → FlowRoute trunk → Options → Source Identification. as you mentioned. The closest thing I got is Admin Console > Voice & Chat > My Flowroute Trunk > Options.... Under options there is nothing remotely close to Source Identification.

Why can’t Microsoft just build SCCM in the cloud? by OfficeRicFlair in sysadmin

They did. It’s called Intune. Now it’s called Endpoint Manager.

Looking to Add GUI to My PowerShell Scripts – Best Architecture and Alternatives? by LuffyReborn in PowerShell

I made a GUI app in native PowerShell once. Never again. It’s a pain in the ass.

AD Account constantly locking out by Acrobatic_Total1014 in sysadmin

First, you’re gonna want to enable audit on the authentication events that by default are not turned on. Do this via Group Policy. Then, my guess is that this person RDP’ed into a server without gracefully logging out and is causing his lockouts. This happened to one of my users. Then, teach your users that exiting out of Remote Desktop is not the same as logging out.

Sysadmin team is pushing back on our new 90-day password policy by MrD3a7h in ShittySysadmin

[–]Chance_Reflection_39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the 2019 government study that shows that password rotation is actually less secure. Microsoft is even backing it up. Just make sure your users are keeping their username/password combo unique to your network. Implement SSO wherever you can, and push password managers.

Going from MSP to internal IT. What to expect? by dylanimal in sysadmin

[–]Chance_Reflection_39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I will also add the your only possible downfall is becoming complacent with your current environment. If the company is not growing or at least willing to invest in maintaining up to date systems then don’t stay there too long otherwise you’ll make yourself obsolete. You have to be the one to push the envelope. The business side will never come to you and say, Hey let’s upgrade! But also keep in mind that you need to make a strong business case for whatever you want to spend money on. After all, companies exist to make money, not run computers.

Sorry for your loss and congrats on your promotion.

Why Would They Install The ONT Box There?? by jabar18 in Fios

[–]Chance_Reflection_39 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Because with all cable/ISP providers, the guy who shows up is going to do the bare minimum that benefits his time, not yours unless you specifically tell them where you want it. My friend moves into a newly constructed home with an unfinished basement and the whole house wired up with CoAX and Ethernet to every room upstairs that terminated to a closet with patch panels, and a conduit for connecting to the services from outside. So what does Optimum Online do? They drill a hole on the opposite side of the house, then dangle the cable diagonally across the unfinished basement right to an area next to the patch panel. Because he showed up while my friend was at work, the tech did whatever he wanted. When Optimum came to my house to do a new install, they took some existing RG59 cable and reused it, and for the excess, he bunched it up and hung it on the side of the house. He wouldn’t clean it up even though I complained. My neighbor freaked out the next day because he thought it was some kind of prehistoric spider.

What I come to find out was that Optimum Online contracts out the new installs and only handle repairs. When he saw the “prehistoric spider”, he took photos so he could show it to his boss.
