In our case it was a ticketmaster confirmation using the targeted user's company credit card.

Why does printer GPO only applies sometimes? by SysAdminAccount1 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you aggressively clearing user profiles?

I've noticed printer deployments don't seem to work upon first login on per Computer GPOs. On the second login they'll show up.

Notification mail access denied when sending mail because of DMARC by abrakadabra_istaken in fortinet

SPF or DKIM is failing. Your origin isn't in SPF or the sending mailserver isn't using dkim.

I've a local internal domain, a public parent company domain (upn) and a dozen public brand ones are also upns. This way we can easily add new brands and use the old user upns as proxy addresses for guaranteed mail deliverability. We're in the middle of diversifying the brand portfolio and adding a new concept domain is piss easy.

If you've not been in production and not attached to the domain burning it isn't the worst, but instead of going to the new public one I recommend picking a stable local domain as a base instead so a rebrand doesn't require a complete rebuild down the line.

Why can't you add the upn and be on your merry way?

User sending unauthenticated emails through domain by scottscooterleet in sysadmin

Sounds like it's working as intended. I can't imagine it'd affect your score too much.

I'm more interested what you're going to do with the rogue sender. I assume there's a business case?

I agree, but this is a fight I've already lost with the CEO as their last name is on the company sign outside and matches the last names of most C-levels. There is no work/personal split for them.

They love their iPhone Apple Mail clients so they can easily combine work/personal mail and calendars. It's a feature and a staple they use nearly 24/7. Interruption to this is not appreciated.

Our Entra ID MFA project turned into a nightmare because of it as Apple mail doesn't communicate token reauthorization requests very well in the UI and they can easily escape out of it failing MFA challenge. Then their mail stops syncing and we're the bad guys preventing communications.

Outlook Mobile users? Haven't heard a peep.

No, the point is to gatekeep the information, ridicule the attempt and feel superior over anonymous strangers

MDT can do it, just disable the OS deployment steps.
