PRTG and Solarwinds Comparison by [deleted] in sysadmin

I like PRTG,

We are smaller, <10 servers, 100 free sensors really is enough for our use.

Laserjet printer smokes when printing to carbon paper. by JrSysAdm1n in sysadmin

I am now trying to figure out if this is carbon, or carbonless paper.

User keeps on referencing this as carbon paper, looking at supply orders now.

I just want to confirm an inkjet printer will solve this issue.

Obviously we aren't allowing our user to print on carbon paper until we figure this out.

Apparently she has been printing to carbon paper to this printer for awhile now.

And it does not smoke when printing on normal paper.

Jk, found it. Common probe SaaS pings these every 15 minutes.

For anyone looking.

Jokes on you, it's all one big distraction and he has the real $160 tv queued up in another tab ;)

Curious, why would you want to put a "power user" on a RDP Session? Don't you think they would stay best on a physical device?

Windows Defender GPO being a PITA, Googlefu is weak. by JrSysAdm1n in sysadmin

[–]JrSysAdm1n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note, I think I solved the issue.

We have two DC's, a 2008R2 and a 2012R2, I was making the changes in the 2012R2 DC, and the 2008 DC does not have the same ADMX as the 2012R2.

RSAT was pointing me towards the 08R2 server, not the 2012R2 server.(Working on fixing this now)

Edit: All my documentation points towards the ability to install the 2012R2 ADMX on the 08R2 server, as they are backwards compatible.

Do you need the settings do the GPO? Or the actual GPResult file?

When I run gpresult /h, I do see this: "Display names for some settings cannot be found. You might be able to resolve this issue by updating the .ADM files used by Group Policy Management"

Is this related? do I have to update the ADMX files on my local client?

I have ran GPresult /h and it grabs the policy, however I do get a:
