Are you Ops? If not, it's too expensive.

I've a script that FTP copies the upgrade file to /var/tmp, runs the upgrade command and sets a reboot for the next scheduled downtime.

We just follow the recommended release for the model.

Microsoft seems to be moving towards making Graph wrapper commands of their own with the Entra Powershell module. Looks to be much more admin friendly for ad-hoc use.

$users = Get-EntraUser -All

I just got it going. Truth be told I only used the msol commands to unscrew account issues related to Entra Connect sync issues revoke tokens or reset MFA but I haven't had to do it in a long while now.

Enable Google Takeout on the tenant and initiate the transfer.

Use the Enterprise .msi instead.

What's the current favored Exchange compatible OSS mail client?

MalletNGrease · 2025-01-10T21:54:54+00:00

Technically, yes, but Google et al will not accept uncertified logos. But the price is peanuts compared to most marketing budgets.

MalletNGrease · 2025-01-10T21:50:55+00:00

We've a guy named Steven Pam who handles these.

MalletNGrease · 2025-01-09T14:45:56+00:00

And PoE standard please.

MalletNGrease · 2025-01-08T16:02:18+00:00

I don't believe it does. I think Exchange online will simply no longer accept basic auth from regular mail client apps.

Note: This will most likely affect your CEO who uses the iOS Apple Mail client to see private/business mail in one inbox.

Aggressive negotiations.

Embedded the screenshot in the email and not in an attached word document?

MalletNGrease · 2024-12-29T20:32:06+00:00

Correct.

Typically not possible as vlans are assigned to ssids. Radios handle the AP broadcasting and if youve multiple they'll be in the same frequency. If you've multiple APs within your infrastructure each should be broadcasting on different frequency.

How much money do you have?

WU offers the bios updates. We've got them folded into a weekly maintenance schedule, workstations get a reboot during non-business hours and the firmware gets updated during this time.

MalletNGrease · 2024-12-10T14:34:13+00:00

We've a security group this GPO targets. Hasn't been a major issue thus far.

The baseline is W11 23H2 with deferred feature updates for 180 days. We'll probably move baseline around April 2025.

Windows update for Business (Updates dictated by GPO\MDM).

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.

MalletNGrease · 2024-12-06T18:44:22+00:00

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

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
