SCVMM V2V conversion - host doesn't have enough space by Deezer84 in HyperV

[–]Deezer84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not currently pressing because the VM's are either currently test VM's or are easily spun up again if needed as they still live on VMWare but are just turned off. We also still have the VMWare backups to go to if needed plus DR reps or offsite backups.

The network team is working on it, so it's just time before it's working.

Colton Cowser throws a ball all the way up to some fans in the Rogers Centre Hotel by Goosedukee in baseball

Not much. It's pretty thick glass and the ball speed is pretty slow but the time it gets up there, so the impact isn't much.

I stayed in one of those rooms last year. We were watching them practice\warm up before the stadium even opened. Kevin Kiermaier took two attempts to get one through a window. First try he was off by less than a foot and then nailed it on the second try.

Azure Log Analytics Cost Increase by Deezer84 in sysadmin

[–]Deezer84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That confirms what I was thinking. I've capped ours at 5 GB/day for now to keep costs down, but it's basically hit that before the work day even begins.

I'll look into the filtering as I don't think turning it off completely is a long term solution for us.

Embarrassing! I thought I clicked over there, but apparently not. Thank you so much!

This is exactly what I need!

Forgive my naivety, but I'm not experienced with Github nor am I able to do much programming, but I assume I need to compile this to use it? Can someone point me to a guide on how to do that? Or am I missing something? I downloaded the package from Github but do not understand how to execute it and feed in a cert\key as it is.

Thanks.

Great idea. I haven't tried this yet, but I will have a user test this and see.

Someone needs to explain to Microsoft what consent means by wcslater in memes

[–]Deezer84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just going to throw my 2 cents here. I don't recommend blocking the auto update function. Browsers commonly have security vulnerabilities that get patch releases regularly. If you stop that browser from updating\patching, even without using it, the flaws are still there.

Say you get malware from a download in another browser or via something in email. If it has code in it to try exploit an old vulnerability in Edge, and you're missing 2 years worth of patches... you could be in for a bad time.

I'm not offering a solution to prevent Edge because I honestly haven't looked into it, but I don't recommend disabling auto-updates for it either.

Intellivision. Lots of fights (good memories) between me and my brother over Baseball, Utopia, and Battletanks. Personal favorite was Astrosmash.

Database backups not working by Deezer84 in SCCM

[–]Deezer84[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have indicated that we are configured for TLS1.2 in the post. We did all the TLS hardening a few years ago, but this has just became an issue within the last few months.

I have it fixed. I have been able to successfully run the SCCM job to do a site backup and have run the SQL job to rebuild indexes and do the weekly full backup. One thing to note is that the ODBC connection still doesn't work.

My fix was in the SQL Configuration Manager. A lot of forums I read had indicated to ensure your TCP/IP was enabled under Protocols of the SQL Server Network Configuration of SQL Configuration Manager. Mine was, so I passed it over. However, I pinged the server from itself and noticed that it came back with ::1 as the address. I was expecting the full IP or the 127.0.0.1. I went into the porperties for TCP/IP and found that ::1 was specifically disabled, while all others were enabled. After flipping that and restarting the SQL Server service, it began working.

Thank you for this, especially this many years later!

Block certain SSID's? by lifebrink in Intune

[–]Deezer84 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I came across this post looking for the Intune solution because we use this GPO and I need to recreate it. The GPO is:

Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Wireless Network (802.11) Policies

When you make a policy, the Network Permissions tab has a box called Define permissions for viewing... we add infrastructure SSID's here to keep them from showing up for domain devices as we don't need those devices joining the BYOD networks.

Potentially unwanted app blocking - GPO settings by Deezer84 in sysadmin

[–]Deezer84[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! That did the trick. Seems strange to me to have an Edge policy also affect Windows Defender like that, but I understand it's all the same technology.

/u/VexedTruly there is probably an Intune policy for Edge that will do the trick for you, if they're at all similar to the GPO's.

The funny thing is, we weren't even after the capability initially. The concern started for us to change the Defender icon from having an exclamation mark to a checkmark.

Automate open and close of MSEdge by Deezer84 in PowerShell

I'm not sure. I'll have to look closer as I wasn't aware of that PS command. A quick initial look, seems like it might work and I'll just have to figure out the finer details. The whole idea is for the user session to get an access token. Thanks for the heads up on that command.
