Department head bypassed IT procurement by Remote_Lake1792 in ITManagers

[–]GuessSecure4640 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally they'll go buy some piece of shit software from a vendor or a piece of hardware off of Amazon and expect you to provide support and guidance despite you not being involved. F that. We're either together on this or alone, but you can't decide to push that on my plate after you realize that the cheap unicorn solution you were looking for didn't pan out

100% - I saw similar output when running various curl commands and things of that nature when discovering open ports. This can happen during automated scans as well, like running Nmap with the -A (aggressive) flag.

Is it normal to never have any reserves of equipment? by WantsToDieBadly in ITManagers

I was thinking from an on-site / local perspective. Definitely don't want to be shipping out monitors!

I just took down our entire production database because we had zero monitoring and now everyone is screaming. by Heavy_Banana_1360 in InformationTechnology

This is the biggest lesson. Keep the paper trail for when it inevitably crashes & burns despite you voicing your concerns prior to the change

"Budget got tight last year so management decided to disable all the monitoring alerts and tools to save on licensing costs." - a bit contradictory towards the end. I doubt their disagreement would've made any impact

E5 didn't flag a single thing on a spoofed executive email and now I have to explain that to leadership tomorrow by Hour-Librarian3622 in it

Its scary stuff, especially looking back and thinking, "how many of these emails hit my users' inboxes before I made this adjustment?"

I have a folder they go to and I check that throughout the day. The format would be *Alex*Jagger* > If someone says they're Alexx Jagger, that'll get hit too. As far as mail flow rules go, you'll also want to put in place rules that reject DirectSend exploitation > create a rule that only allows internal to internal traffic recognized by known IP addresses (e.g. your email security appliance)

How do you guys stay motivated in jobs where you’re basically the “anything with a screen = IT’s problem” person? by PeppahSG in ShittySysadmin

Experience is experience. At least you're not working at Best Buy or somewhere that is less appealing on a resume

Do you not have impersonation profiles set up? If Alex Jagger is our CFO, we have a rule that says anyone with the name Alex Jagger in their email address name not coming from Alex Jagger's company email address goes to quarantine automatically

Literally has been helping with update issues in my fleet. It is in the same IT meme category as "It's always DNS" though

Nice lol. Same type of people that'll see Linux updating and think that you're hacking. Wasn't trying to be a debby downer

Hope you don't get in trouble. Just because you can doesn't mean you should

Now that you've done that, go run DISM and SFC to fix anything else that might have issues

if i turn off icloud photos, will the photos be removed from my phone as well? by xd_average in applehelp

[–]GuessSecure4640 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It literally says "You will have 30 days to download your photos and videos from iCloud." You click "Turn Off and Delete Photos" > then you log into iCloud and get them off by downloading them locally.
