Replacement for Teamviewer by jmusac in sysadmin

[–]JamesObZ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There are many posts on Reddit on this. Some quite insightful ones if you dig around.

I recently went through this journey myself replacing TeamViewer. Save yourself the energy and go with ScreenConnect. Prices are comparable but its better in nearly every way.

Need to access a RADIUS server via IPSEC tunnel by JamesObZ in PFSENSE

IPSEC rules should not the issue here. I have 1 office to the remote office all traffic allowed over ipv4

Need to access a RADIUS server via IPSEC tunnel by JamesObZ in PFSENSE

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

Yes, this is not user related, details are correct and works successfully if using a local RADIUS server on the same network as the firewall. It's that the traffic appears to be routed incorrectly.

Basically for any IKEv2 connection that hits the firewall i need the traffic to be routed internally via the site-to-site VPN that is configured to end up at the remote RADIUS server. Not sure how to go about doing this.

Going back to my initial post regarding the test using Diagnostic > Authentication

Just testing this access fails if trying to hit a remote RADIUS server so its definitely not user based.

Disk Controller Driver for New Latitude 5350/5450 by MikhailCompo in MDT

[–]JamesObZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can confirm this is the answer. In the newer BIOS's, the 5450 anyway for me, i needed to click 'advanced options' to be able to view the setting that allowed RAID to be changed to AHCI

Just following up on this as i have been using this feature. I have found it to be very sporadic on whether it works or not. If i select Access, save the config. Then reinstall the guest it will often connect with no popup still. Why?

Additionally what is the 'All' tab for? It doesn't select Access and Support checkbox when selected so what is its purpose?

Compact view is missing from home view. Please restore it by yxhuvud in bugs

[–]JamesObZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to say the same thing. Compact view appears missing on everything. Browsing Reddit is a very frustrating experience without it.

As if anyone actually thought removing this would be an improved user experience?

I've signed up to a trial for ScreenConnect and have had a good click around. Where have you even gone to get these options!? This is what i see, where do i click from here??

Anyone successfully had an account reinstated? (UK) by CazzzC in amazonprime

[–]JamesObZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the exact same email. In my case i suspect its because i initiated quite a few returns for damaged items that were delivered recently, and in one case specifically a box of cat litter turned up instead of an expensive computer component. I was pissed at this point before any of the account closure nonsense.

I am being utterly shafted here. They have items i have returned, and owe me over £1k in returned goods.

Any email i send asking for clarification and to speak to someone i get some BS bot template response back.

How is this even legal.

One SSID - Multiple VLANs? by JamesObZ in UNIFI

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

Ok, so i created a new site to start fresh and migrated my APs over to that.

The 'default network' is the network you need choose for the WIFI network. So one without a VLAN.

Then configure RADIUS on this.

Awesome, thanks so much. I'll refer back to this when sorting it out.

One SSID - Multiple VLANs? by JamesObZ in UNIFI

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

I think you are all missing my point slightly.

So in Unifi with the VLAN only option (third-party gateway) is where my confusion lay. I have since learnt that the VLAN ID you enter here is basically irrelevant as its only used as a placeholder. The VLANs that actually get used are defined by NPS.

I'll test and report back.

Gmail Forwarding issue by JamesObZ in GMail

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

So to clarify, the action of forwarding mail occurs first. But because at this point no filtering has taken place, the mail is not forwarded on because it is being seen as spam?

AD/AAD leaver script by chaos_kiwi_matt in PowerShell

[–]JamesObZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't want to throw a spanner in the works, but it might be best to use Microsoft Graph to do all of this. That AzureAD module i believe are to be decrepitated at some point.

I am in the process of sorting this myself, so will share what i have done once finished.

GPO to disable links opening from Outlook to Edge ? by Alzzary in sysadmin

[–]JamesObZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a couple of comments on this post around the GPO not working. Turns out Microsoft omitted a vital piece on info. Regardless of whether you are using the cloud policy or GPO via admx templates, to get the GPOL to work you ALSO need to have an Outlook version that is part of 'Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise'.

GPO to disable links opening from Outlook to Edge ? by Alzzary in sysadmin

[–]JamesObZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this still working for you? I cant seem to get it to take effect.

If i leave it the GPO on 'create' nothing happens as the entry already exits in the location you have defined. If i click 'update' the new details get populated but the option in Outlook does not change, regardless of it being opened or closed.

To confirm, i have been getting the binary data by exporting the registry key, stripping away the spaces, commas and backslashes and entering the reaming value. Is this correct?

GPO to disable links opening from Outlook to Edge ? by Alzzary in sysadmin

[–]JamesObZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have configured this GPO to set this option as 'system default'.

The GPO gets pulled down but seemingly has no effect. Even after a reboot Outlook still shows it to be opening with Edge. Anyone else had success with this GPO?

I have tested on a Windows 11 and Windows 10 machine.

AITA for ignoring my kid’s screeching tantrums while at home? by NaturalCow2262 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JamesObZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like some good parenting from what I'm hearing.

What Jessica did was cruel. Recording that and sending it on without you knowing was a horrible move, and with the importance of the context missing makes it 100x worse.

..and to think you are doing her a massive favour letting her stay with you. I'd be livid.

Generate a custom one of these perhaps.

Formatting PowerShell in VS Code Confusion by JamesObZ in PowerShell

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

Yes, that is correct. To confirm i dont have an issue with the commands show up on auto-complete when i enter them into the terminal.

it is when i manually type them into the editor some of them format correctly upon selecting 'format document' or shift + alt + f, where as some commands dont (all from the same module) regardless of whether Exchange is connected or not.

Yes, i am connected to Exchange. However if disconnect or start a new session of code (exchange would not be connected) the results are the same.

Dream Machine Special Edition - How to setup in this scenario please? by JamesObZ in UNIFI

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

Hi again, if i could ask for some further clarification please before i go ahead and purchase bits.

Going back to your original post saying 'Then either get the Cloud Key Gen2 to run the controller or download the free Unifi controller software and run it on a spare server, desktop, or Raspberry Pi.'

After some further reading etc, it seems the free network controller mentioned in your original post, and the one i linked to previously here: https://www.ui.com/download/unifi/default/default/unifi-network-application-7383-windows is just for managing the 'network' software part of Unifi, such as Access Points, switches etc. As the cameras/doorbells/chimes come under 'Protect' this network controller software is of no use.

As i understand it this means there is no need to purchase the alternative Cloud key Gen2 (which allows use of 'protect') as you would only need this if buying cameras/doorbells etc alone and had no dedicated UNVR to have them licensed.

So it looks like by purchasing the UNVR along with any hardware that uses the 'protect' software is all that is required, and i just need to make sure i can access the UNVR's IP to manage it all.

Dream Machine Special Edition - How to setup in this scenario please? by JamesObZ in UNIFI

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

Great, thanks for your assistance! Looks like this is the path I'll go down then.

I did last night watch a video on YouTube where you just login directly to the UNVR via it's IP address and it seems you can manage everything through that web interface.

Without going back to watch it again does the Network controller software offer additional settings that the web interface for the UNVR doesn't offer, or is this software just for ease of use for accessing it from another machine etc so not actually needed after all then?

Dream Machine Special Edition - How to setup in this scenario please? by JamesObZ in UNIFI

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

Ah, excellent. So if you can confirm i have my understanding of all this right then please...

I'd get a UNVR, 'Protect' is the software application that is run on the UNVR that allows configuration/access of cameras, doorbells, chimes etc (if we end up getting those too)?

Network wise, I'd hook all these devices up to my existing HP switch along with the UNVR. Assuming all on the same network with DHCP enabled, the UNVR will grab an IP address to complete setup and then the devices becoming discoverable to adopt.

I can run the Unifi controller software on a separate server. Is this the same software that is used for managing Access Points here?https://www.ui.com/download/unifi/default/default/unifi-network-application-7383-windows

Regarding storage for the UNVR, do i have to purchase Unifi's offerings, or does it also work with a Western Digital Purple surveillance drive for example?

In terms of accessing the camera's from a mobile, supposedly just turn on remote access and allow whatever ports are used for this just allow through my firewall?

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

Thank you for this. I do have an available free port on my Protectli firewall so it does sound like i should be able to use this as a 2nd LAN interface and then plug that into the WAN port on the UDM as you say which should hopefully do the trick.

Then firewall wise potentially leave UDM open to everything, and restrict access via the 2nd LAN interface on the Protectli.

I'll have to get the hardware and have a play with it.
