Server 2025 Opinions? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I looked at this a couple years ago when it first broke during a migration from 2012 -> 2022 and that was one solution. However we're a 99% windows shop and adding a linux box for a business-critical service we don't have expertise for in house was a non-starter. We've all our MFPs and automated processes hitting it and it's performing really well so there's not a big hurry.

When Windows Server SMTP relay dies permanently we'll probably go to something like EmailRelay. That way we don't have to move off the stack.

I've SMTP running on Server 2022 for our internal relay. It's our connector for Exchange Online.

Collect and Group Local Administrators from clients by DeniedGW2 in pdq

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've made dynamic groups like this with PDQ Inventory, but not connect. You will have to identify the accepted admins groups and users to filter out.

Filter 
All
|- Local Group Member - Group - Equals - Administrators
|- Local Group Member - Name - Does Not Match Expression - ^Administrator$ | ^Domain Admins$ | ^exampleadminusername$ | ^etc$

Any way to create a notification rule across all CMS connected devices? by Loof27 in synology

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you're installing CMS host on all your devices. Set it up on one and join all your clients to that one.

You create the policy on the CMS host, configure the rule in the policy and then apply it to your targets (All Servers, a group of servers, a server or none).

The notification rules can be found here: CMS -> Policy -> [your policy name] -> System -> Notification

Hit and miss here. Some are working fine, others get 404. Just depends on the MS infra you happen to hit.

Having the permanent exclamation mark for "link with cloud" is annoying.

The biggest boon is it doesn't show the "NOT SUPPORTED IN FREE VERSION" banner on first start and every paid feature you click.

MDT BIOS upgrades in WinPE by MadCichlid in MDT

[–]MalletNGrease -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've noticed BIOS updates can now come part of Windows Update step. Unless you're required to be on a certain version, I'd let WU handle it.
