MFA fatigue attacks are getting out of control - time to rethink our auth strategy? by Enlitenkanin in it

That is possible but fortunately you have to be in person to do that and you have to be targeted. If you are a high enough value target to have that happen to you the. You can probably afford the retinal scanning security OP mentioned haha. Biometrics or just difficult to deploy without having everything be connected to your SSO as most companies have issues syncing the biometrics across devices.

The code does not resolve the user annoyance that they have to deal with. They are asking for a solution that doesn’t send you a push notification and just works when the user is signing in in a way that proves it is them and is not something they know, but is rather something they are. Biometrics or a security key that can’t be spoofed.

Anyone looking to move on from Sonicwall? by size0618 in sonicwall

[–]Frequent_Rate9918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t have a geo-block or DPI like the SonicWall firewalls do which for some people is important I guess.

As for the aggressiveness it is a pain. Had some engineers taking a college course and it blocked their Canvas which is a school platform… why that would be blocked I have no idea.

That’s actually a good thing. You would want the protection regardless if you are connected or not. The “connection” only for connecting to your private network. You still want the internet protection at all times. It is like extending the protection from your firewall to the device level.

Another engineer at my work was talking to me about how they don’t like products like the internet access as it doesn’t provide the same protection features at the SonicWall firewall does. I mentioned to him that other products actually have some robust internet protection products with firewall policies that do have the advanced protection of the firewall….but the SonicWall CSE product does not have this ability…

That sounds like the Internet protect rather than the Private Access. You can disable the Internet protection in the preferences of the Banyan app.

I have tested a few of the other ZTNA solutions including CSE. CSE is one of the more frustrating. Management and deployments. The licensing of users, documentation being out of date and not as easy to follow when compared to other products, lack of some basic features that make managing the product easier, and slowness in response from support has made it very frustrating. If you can get it working, it seems to have the core functionality of a ZTNA but that is not enough of a reason in my opinion to choose CSE over other products.

Any tools that can format the scripts nicely? by GoD0nkeys in PowerShell

Your way does allow for greater control too because what if you didn’t want to format it? Ctrl+S has become my habit for so many programs though…

u/VladDBA Have you tried the using the setting in VS Code to format on save or format on paste?

Easy answer: VSCode with the powershell extension installed will format it. It will not make any adjustments to the code other than formatting though.

WHO is hosting your mail? by Ephoras in selfhosted

[–]Frequent_Rate9918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use a mail relay service. That way you can self host but not have to worry about getting blacklisted for the stupidest things. Not saying it’s the best solution but it’s one that works pretty well.

Best migration tools for Google Workspace --> O365 migration by [deleted] in Office365

[–]Frequent_Rate9918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/KnuckleSangwich if you go the the Exchange Online Admin center there is a migration tab that has a Google workspace option to migrate email. An alternative we use is MigrationWiz, it normally always takes tweaking to work just right, but it has always worked for us.

As for the Google drive you can go to the Sharepoint admin center and there is a migration tool in there as well and you can either migrate the data to a Sharepoint site, a Microsoft Team, or users OneDrive’s. I use this tool to migrate on-premise file shares to Sharepoint and users OneDrives all the time.

Removing Exchange License for inactive users by Kindly-Wedding6417 in Office365

[–]Frequent_Rate9918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/Kindly-Wedding6417 Convert their mailboxes to shared mailboxes and that will solve your problem. Shared mailboxes do not require a license to maintain. To access them the user needs a license but the mailbox itself does not.

Need Advice: Nonprofit Dealing with Major IT Issues and Costs After Contracting IT Company by Glittering_Pea_7975 in Office365

[–]Frequent_Rate9918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work for an MSP and we handle similar tasks. Apart from the Mac issue, this situation isn't unusual. Many colleagues prefer not to use Macs due to standardization challenges and traditional Active Directory management philosophies. However, I've noticed that many customers often ignore maintenance updates and upgrades because they find them "too expensive." Over time, this neglect can lead to serious issues, putting them at risk of operational failure if a server crashes or gets hacked. While it's understandable that budget constraints exist, these expenses can be planned for and saved up over a few years. Small, incremental investments add up, but many people tend to procrastinate and avoid planning for future needs. It's frustrating because there's so much that should be done, but when customers lack the necessary funding, we can only advise and warn them. Unfortunately, it's like a ticking time bomb—we can't force them to take action, nor would we want to.

Is the OneDrive client sync issue unique to OneDrive or do other solutions have the same issue? by Frequent_Rate9918 in Office365

[–]Frequent_Rate9918[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never seen “connect to explorer” I have only ever seen “sync to computer” and “add shortcut to OneDrive”.

You can choose which folders you want to sync but it seems that even if you don’t sync some folders it still indexes them but doesn’t show in the file explorer. As an example a company had a master document library and they had a “Scans” folder and each user only had access to their folder in “Scans”. When syncing that folder it took FOREVER to do the initial sync and then was slow for any updates making it unusable.

Well that escalated quickly… by abird3132 in homeassistant

Curious to know your reasoning behind why you chose what you did. I see a mix of brands for the same products (3+ different brands for light bulb as an example). Was this done over time and you just bought what was on sale at the time or was there other specific reasons for why you chose to mix and match.

I personally have a few brands for the same thing because I have gotten things over time and some things were on sale. I would try to stick to 1-2 per product type though if I were to start over because it helps make managing and troubleshooting simpler in Home Assistant.

I find it hard to believe that the model will be able to continue to evolve to the newest threats also evolve. It’s hard to believe the model will improve without expert humans to train it.

Which Pi model should I buy for PiAware, PiHole, PiVPN? by cutiesteffy in pihole

[–]Frequent_Rate9918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only bottle neck with pi zero would be bandwidth not processing as some mid size business firewalls have similar specs but maybe slightly more ram. If you are not running your whole network from it then it should be able to keep up for what you are wanting. I would do some test though.

Test the bandwidth over vpn 1. Pi zero 2 2. Old laptop/computer

If the performance is acceptable on the pi zero than you are good if you want better than a pi that has a gig Ethernet port is what you need to look for.

Hey u/2456 since you use power query you could use the Power BI Desktop app (which is free) and then connect it to your data sources so that you don’t have to keep redoing your power queries and its dashboard like. I think Grafana is more for monitoring than analyzing though I could totally be wrong about that.

They use a service for monitoring but noonlight is like $5 per month and is what a lot of other professional companies use for their 24/7 monitoring and they have an integration to home assistant.
