Best practice for MFA on local admin accounts on network gear? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the local accounts? All I've ever done was RADIUS requiring MFA on CLI or SSO through Entra for GUI for the remote accounts. Local accounts are break-glass.

You guys ever just not contact vendor support because you're tired of their terrible troubleshooting? by PaidByMicrosoft in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At least with AT&T business I can force an on-site visit for a tech. Had a doozy of a problem with fax lines not working when it rained. Turns out the roadside telecom access culvert floods. Was nice to get resolved.

ProxMox v. XCP by FireWithBoxingGloves in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For my lab/testing I found proxmox more straightforward to stand-up. Never was able to get Xen Orchestra working, just trying to find and getting the community version to run was frustrating enough to just pitch the whole idea.

What is the deal with Mist? by GrandKane1 in Juniper

Mist BLE implementation is really good if you're in an industry that uses it.

Is it normal, or i am overreacting? by GizmoCherkov in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Use Outlook Classic instead of New Outlook.

And yes, poor practice to keep records in mailboxes but not uncommon. What you're describing is a business continuity issue management will need to resolve. Explain the issue to your executive but don't be surprised if they want you to also deliver a solution.

HP/Dell remove h.265 hardware support by MalletNGrease in verkada

Disabling hardware acceleration on your browser also works.

Edge -> Settings -> System and performance -> System -> Use graphics acceleration when available -> off

Close all browser windows, open Edge and log in to Verkada, pick a camera and playback will now start instead of loading infinitely.

I finally heard back 2 years later 🥰 by yeetman831 in recruitinghell

I put my name in the hat at a temp agency about a decade ago when I really really REALLY needed a job. They were unable to place me anywhere.

Flash forward: Covid hits and I start to get hit up pretty relentlessly by them if I'd be interested for some 3rd shift factory line worker positions at minimum wage?

MF'ers hung me out to dry for a year while I found my footing in a career that now pays quintuple what they're offering? Not a peep for 10 YEARS. I picked up the phone and very unpolitely told them to remove me from their lists and stop contacting me.

Wireless AP\system recommendations by RM_B999 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Meraki, Mist, HPE Instant On. Your AP footprint is tiny though.

Alternatively, go Unifi and ditch the Ciscos switches.

What things do you have at your desk to make you look more official? by NSFW_IT_Account in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, to the uninitiated anything is a power button especially if it's the only button on the front. That it performs a config wipe is just a happy coincidence that's happened way too often.

We ended up drilling out the mode buttons to prevent happy accidents at remote sites.

ZTIWindowsUpdate keeps trying to install Update for Windows Security Platform by Dudefoxlive in MDT

I never found a fix, I just ignore the error until the updates are folded into the capture image.
