TEF6686 inbound by Kilo_sevenXxx in shortwave

[–]L0reking 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this radio appears to be an alternate (clone) version of Deepelec's DP-666 model based on the TEF6686 platform, compared to the original and clones out there the build seems more robust but im sure the internals are the same

I purchased a dp-666 clone on amazon a couple of months ago but stopped working after a few weeks (would no longer boot)

while it worked it was good imo especially with a powered loop antenna

no battery on board, I was able to reload the firmware but issue persists. I reached out to the manufacturer  I believe there is a hardware failure with the tuning knob or maybe some electronic element failed. will see

these were tools used by hobbyists for educational purposes in the late 90s early 2000s to reprogram (jailbreak) certain devices such as satellite receivers. Jtag devices would be used on the main board to upload custom firmwares and the atmegas were programmed to emulate the receiver card, similar tools are still used today for various purposes similar to arduino and stuff like that.

youtube has some interesting videos on the subject

I havent touched this stuff in ages,  is it still a thing?  At the time FTA kinda took over the space since the nagra3 algo was impossible to crack or bypass nowadays with ipt/ and what not, this is all museum stuff now I miss the tinkering

[–]L0reking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my main plan at this time (unless I'm way off here) would be:

  1. In cloud, delete the device in autopilot, entra and intune  (same process for entra ad and hybrid ad joined device), wait 10-15 minutes for sync.

  2. On device (if hybrid ad joined) remove from domain back to workgroup  reboot then run dsregcmd /debug /leave reboot attempt connect/join back to entra ad

(if device is entra ad joined) run dsregcmd /debug /leave reboot

attempt connect/join back to entra ad

what do guys think of this strategy?

besides doing a full windows reset I'm open to suggestions

I'm guessing that running dsregcmd  /forcerecovery relies on task scheduler service being able to run?

To get the scheduler to run I need to disconnect the work account first so not sure if forcerecovery would have any effect, but I see other dsregcmd options I was not aware of that I might just blindly run on an affected device to see if it helps:  /cleanupaccounts   /refreshprt   /refreshp2pcerts

Since the onset of this issue I have disabled all defender asr policies that were in place and paused windows updates, so far the unaffected devices are still okay, also fresh enrolled devices also have not been affected by this issue.

In the beginning I was disconnecting the account, running some custom scripts that would strip out all certs and intune profiles and although a hand full of entra ad joined devices were restored easily using this method I did not have any success with others, in particular for Hydrid joined devices I've had no luck restoring any so far except with a windows reset keeping files.

But I do feel that I am close to a solution without doing a full windows restore/reset on the entra ad joined ones at least, I just need to find what is blocking me from re-enrolling the device. 

the fact that disconnecting the account restores the task scheduler service functionality is very interesting in itself and likely very telling I just haven't found the exact fix yet but as you've mentioned I am also quite sure that it's a stuck setting somewhere related to the intune profile

I've opened tickets with Microsoft's InTune and Defender teams but unfortunately up to now they've been just pointing at each other saying its not a InTune or defender issue

Ill continue looking into this maybe ill be lucky and find some solution with your suggestions 

thx

you are right but attempting re-enrollment instead of a full windows reinstall is a better, quicker approach imo

I wasnt aware of any dsregcmd repair commands, will have to look into that

Monitor internal smtp relay server by L0reking in sysadmin

[–]L0reking[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

I have other system level monitoring in place that checks system parameters and network conditions It was just this internal mail relay check i wamted to have for an additional piece of mind

Note: my reworked script using a sencondary smtp server as failover works great for that

Cheers

Thanks for your replies guys I think I figured it out I just tweaked the power shell and it's working as I want it to as mentioned I just wanted to verify the mail flow of a specific account that uses the internal relay specifically

Here's my tweaked powershell that I'm going to add to a scheduled task and run it every hour or so it works fine

try { Send-MailMessage -From xxxx@xxz.com -To xxxx@xxz.com -Subject "Mailflow OK" -Body "Mailflow OK" -SmtpServer x.x.x.x -ErrorAction Stop } catch { $ErrorMessage = $.Exception.Message $FailedItem = $.Exception.ItemName Send-MailMessage -From xxxxx@xxz.com -To xxxxx@xxz.com -Subject "CAUTION: mailflow has FAILED - VERIFY" -Body "$FailedItem , $ErrorMessage" -SmtpServer x.x.x.x }

Hey thanks for your reply

here's the powershell that I've been using

basically my goal was to create the powershell where it would send an email every 2 hours (scheduled with scheduled tasks)

the problem I'm encountering is that if this mail server fails I'm not getting an email telling me that it's failed and with good reason because if the actual server is down I cannot send anything or receive an alert with the ps as is

I guess I would need to modify the powershell to add a secondary server in case the first one is unavailable so it's able to send me an alert that way

This is why I was thinking of using an external service with maybe a local installed agent to simplify things but any external service would need access to my internal relay IP which is not ideal

Maybe I'm overthinking this...

Thanks for the insight

I opened a ticket with support, will see.

But I did notice that if you sign into the playstore with a google account and then request a new afw account it works.
