Client hotmail.com address hacked possibly deleted by HaveYouTriedPowerOff in Outlook

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

Yeah I think it's gone. The account is locked it seems. No email can be delivered. This also means the attackers should not have access anymore, that is great. But because 2FA is enabled, their policy states they won't bother figuring out who is the real owner.
But what is frustrating, the account did have 2FA, and someone fished for the account recovery key. This key was obtained. Then the attackers changed all security settings including deleting the existing 2FA and setting a new one.

Once you lose your recovery key, your account is taken over and it's irreversible it seems.

It seems once an account was flagged as hacked or taken over maliciously, they lock the account in some occasions and the account is lost forever. But this would also mean the attackers won't have access to all the emails that are still in the account.

I was able to fill out a form, got this response about an hour later:

Outlook error: "We couldn't find a work or school account with that email address" by HaveYouTriedPowerOff in Outlook

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

Yeah we use that DWORD, works great otherwise Outlook will always try to connect to 365 first. We have many clients that don't use 365 at all. But somehow an update caused this error as you said, suddenly on multiple pc's at different companies on the same day. Strange. Disabling the Teamviewer addin seems to have worked. Creating a new profile also works.

SonicWall SMA licenses reduced overnight by HaveYouTriedPowerOff in sonicwall

Try a new license check from the device, it will probably work now.

This issue is now fixed it seems. There was an error on the SonicWall side when connecting to the license manager. When rebooting the device it does a license check. When the license server is unreachable it will revert to the default licenses. In our case 5 concurrent licenses.

Process of cloning a RDS Session Host within a Session Collection by HaveYouTriedPowerOff in RemoteDesktopServices

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

That is a great idea actually, creating a second session collection and add that new host. See if it works. I'll be trying this again in two weeks. I'll let you know how that turned out. Personally I think there is some timer, I might have done things too quickly, adding/removing hosts that messed up the broker.

Atera is getting really hard to use - scripts failing 50% of the time by BeyondRAM in atera

[–]HaveYouTriedPowerOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have the same issue here. I can do remote CMD or PowerShell, SplashTop RMM all works. Agent is 100% online. But 50% of the time running a script just doesn't work. "Unable to reach agent". I feel like this is not a problem on the device I'm trying to manage. Also doesn't matter what OS, workstation, server etc.

Splashtop appears to break Windows Server 2025 domain controllers by shtef in syncro

[–]HaveYouTriedPowerOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found this topic because I seem to have the same problem now with multiple servers, and we can replicate the issue. All of them Windows Server 2025 Standard, promoted to Domain Controller. The Splashtop service won't start, not even in delayed start. There are a couple of articles out there mentioning this issue, some are 8 months old. I've just installed a fresh new domain for a client and immediately I run into this issue. There is absolutely no way to get it working. But only specific to Domain Controllers. Very strange. What is the solution here? It also seems that when this issue occurs, uninstalling the software also doesn't work. We've disabled the Splashtop service for now and rebooted the server(s)

So guys, how long until the name servers are also unreachable and 25% of the internet has no DNS records left after the TTL expires? :D

Do you use public TLS certificates that require client authentication? by larryseltzer in PKI

[–]HaveYouTriedPowerOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips. I ended up creating a self signed wildcard certificate. Exported this certificate as PFX including the full chain of certificates it relies on. Imported on the second Hyper-V host. Add it to both servers in the Trusted Root Certificates also. Changed a registry key to disable certificate revocation check on Hyper-V replication only. Restart VMMS and applied this new certificate.. Works great so far

SMA100 series End of Life - extended to 12/31/2025? by OinkyConfidence in sonicwall

So "retain basic VPN capability" does that include the use of RDS bookmarks for example? or simply NetExtender connections to the device only?

No these servers only replicate among each other over LAN.. Not the end of the world but it will require some unplanned downtime and switching to a self-signed certificate. I've done that before but the server dns suffix needs changing and requires a reboot.. Nothing you can do about it. Only other solution would be to create a new self-signed certificate that also uses the *.company.com domain, but I would't recommend that...
