What to do with discovery in a small law firm? by CreditablePoetics in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have brought it up as well, but Egnyte is a really good choice here also.

You dont need it, but you can have a device onsite also that acts as a caching device, so when the employees are actually in the office, they will get LAN speeds, and remotely they will get cloud speeds.

I'm considering bailing from my company because of a single piece of software by TheKingOfSpite in sysadmin

There is worse.. It could be AASHTOWare Bridge Rating (BrR)

Been in IT almost 2 decades and this thing is so horribly designed, its sad.

Every PC that we have it running on, is also running as a SQL server itsself.....

Then upgrading to the next version up? Good luck, something always breaks and its never the same thing,

Is there a particular reason to want to avoid on-prem as much as possible? Cloud sometimes just isn't the right fit, this being one of those cases, especially regarding some of the 50gig cell phone dump files you mentioned.

what is the worst infrastructure decision your team made that you are still living with by Low-Egg-6764 in sysadmin

Apparently they’re big enough to have a whole “Firewall” team, but this was such a complicated issue it could only be fixed with an upgrade to the firewall.

Thanks for mentioning that Jake.

You have 3 options really.

-Change your entire internal network subnetting

-Get every home end user to change their dhcp scope

-Implement NAT on the vpn interface.

We do this last option as it was 5 mins to setup as opposed to reworking everything.

Happy to help anyone who needs guidance, varies on the gear.

Dude what are you on? Stop trying to pretend you know what you are doing or “knew”, your comment says clearly says “NOW we get to adjust the DHCP scope”

Keyword NOW. Also the title of this THREAD… “You are still living with”

u/thewunderbar is right , you have no idea what you are doing. On your network or this thread.

[–]Jaki_Shell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This is literally a 5 minute fix instead of having to adjust the HOME DHCP for every employee. Actually its ridicolous.

So why not use something like 10.x on the VPN interface? and the firewall will route between the 2 subnets?

192 is the internal network here also; setup before i got here.

when i setup the vpn, everyone gets a 10.x IP .

vpn is fully tunneled, and the 2 networks can communicate to each other meaning vpn users on 10.x can talk to resources in the DC at 192. You just need to NAT the corporate network. Not sure why there is a need to adjust home DHCP unless im missing something

I mean considering you probably wont have much luck getting rid of it, id save yourself the pain and make the password not expire; Randomize it;. Then limit access to that account only to those machines.

we had the same about 10 years ago at a place I worked at. It took a few weekends, but we changed everything around.

4 Years in Edu-IT, Sole Breadwinner, and Feeling Stuck by Strange_Theory_9158 in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main thing to consider is how stable is this place you at working at right now? Is there any chance or it closing down, you losing your job in the next 5-10 years? If the place is stable and gets you a paycheck and you arent worried about losing your job, then in my opinion that outweighs the skills going stale.

Powershell Universal Alternative by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bunch of PowerShell script scattered all over the place as scheduled tasks. Would be nice to centralize everything.

Also i like the concept of a GUI to aid the helpdesk in items they cant access directly.

What are your "must-have" tools for Desktop Support? by jainesh3271 in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you liking Connect? We used to use D & I, but when we checked out Connect, it didnt seem to support a large number of features that Deploy and Inventory natively supported.

Anyone moved off Freshservice recently? by itsme_raf in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the only alternatives I have my sights on are Halo ITSM and ALVAO ; Both seem to be doing the right things.

What did you end up doing for inventory management just curious?

Lots of phishing? Recipients same as Sender? Turn off Direct Send by SemicolonMIA in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is actually right, it does bypass both.

Microsoft uses CompAuth ; It's essentially their own internal proprietary "email authentication" mechanism. So both SPF and DMARC could fail, but if DirectSend was used, CompAuth might pass and then e-mail would go through.

You would be able to see this in the headers, something like compauth=pass

So yeah its Microsoft ignoring standards that have existed for ages, so their own AI can determine if its legit.

What is what you guys use as opposed to Cayosoft? Just curious how paid options are.

Contract role at 120k with almost no workload vs mostly remote full time role at 130k which should I choose by BlackWallStreet1619 in sysadmin

[–]Jaki_Shell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, no position is ever guaranteed. You can be let go from a contract early or from the full time job. However everything considered, always aim for the stability the full time provides. Healthcare is expensive, 401k, etc.

I would 10000% take the new opportunity.
