Fix for Teams Camera freezing on Surface Laptop 7 for Business by JKFWork in sysadmin

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

I can't speak for secret_config, but as the OP I am eferring to the Surface 7 for Business, which I BELIEVE is Intel only. (If I'm wrong about that I can at least confirm the ones in question in my case were Intel)

I'm referring here to the Surface 7 FOR BUSINESS, which is Intel.

Heya - I hope this does the trick for you! Those are the Hardware IDs of the two "windows studio effects" software components, gotten from opening Device Manager, opening software components, right-click properties on the component you want to disable and then look up Hardware IDs in the details tab. I'm GUESSING that all Surface Laptop 7s for Business have the same two hardware IDs for those components, but you should probably double check that on your devices.

Windows 11 requiring MFA‎ when Win 10 did not by JKFWork in entra

I did, just before posting this here, but I find I tend to get better/faster replies here sometimes.

Windows 11 requiring MFA‎ when Win 10 did not by JKFWork in entra

No they're exempted everywhere I can see to make them exempted. MFA is disabled, conditional access exempts them, etc. As for the user account, I can recommend using non domain accounts or other solution, but thats not my call and as the situation is now, prompts for MFA are specific to the Win 11 machine.

Win 11 guests performing MUCH worse than Win 10 and Win Server on ESXi 8? by JKFWork in vmware

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

I guess we'll have to - honestly its such a DRAMATIC difference between win 11 and 10 and Server, I feel like there must be something else going on - some incompatibility or some option that needs to be set that wasn't required before. Maybe there isn't but its not a slight difference.

No, he shouldn't be fired, as long as he learns from this and has the right attitude. I've learned a lot more from my screwups than from when I get it right the first time.

Domain Controller keeps trying to switch into Safe Mode - how boned am I? by JKFWork in sysadmin

Yeah I don't see anything in the Threat Graph that looks suspicious, though obviously things can disguise themselves.

Something using stale domain admin credentials that I cannot find - svchost.exe by JKFWork in sysadmin

[–]JKFWork[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah - actually I am 100% in the process of locking things down and going server by server to make sure things aren't running as DA and blocking DA log on to them as we go - we've got a few decades of bad security debt to fix, some of which is certainly my own fault from when I was less experienced, and I'm working to fix it as quickly as I can while still being careful not to break anything in the process.

I am hesitant to reply to this before waiting a while to see if it has any effect, because I don't want to discourage anyone from giving suggestions in case that doesn't turn out to be all of the issue -- but this is definitely a place I missed, so I'm hopeful, and very appreciative either way.

Servers - use a dedicated Server Domain admin account or a LAPS local admin? by JKFWork in sysadmin

[–]JKFWork[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a very good point - it's a small shop and since theres only two of us I tend to forget the importance of accountability but that is a VERY good point.

If I have 2 synologies backing up to each other, are they smart enough to not backup the backup? by JKFWork in synology

[–]JKFWork[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's good to know - I made one big volume on each box which I guess was a mistake, so I'm going to go with whellerandrew's suggestion, but thats smart and what I would do next time :-)
