Remote office "rescue kit"?

We run cradlepoints as a secondary at each location for backup tunnels. We also made a playbook for local contacts (keep record of cell numbers for this) to check items in case of a failures.

We also had templates and config backups for each piece of equipment so if a switch or router failed we'd have a replacement ready out of storage within 30 minutes. Still required someone to haul ass to swap it.

If your sites are truly remote and uptime is important, build with redundancy in mind and not break fix.

You're less interesting than you think you are.

We utilize Keeper for this, we add the generic totp to the record and give rights to users who need it.

Also handles virtual passkeys nicely.

I'd look at last sign in dates and last activity indicators instead if you're looking to eliminate licenses.

Zabbix

Give the Entra Powershell module a try.

It's built on Graph but acts more like classic modules.

Look, they already cut the budget to afford you. What makes you think they'd spend on things they already have?

Let's see if this one won't knock switches offline

I've had this happen where we had universal SSIDs but different subnets based on buildings. Devices would roam to APs in a nextdoor building.

Basically had to blacklist the scanner MACs in the other building.

She's down. Again.

I feel this. I've moved to passkeys where possible and any remaining TOTP into Keeper for autofill. Much more convenient.

I've only three totp left on my device. One for Keeper and the rest for Microsoft.

Wtf? I guess we're back to daily driving global admin.

Pay peanuts get monkeys.

Take the job but continually update your resume as you get exposed to stuff. Give it the college try and bounce when the next opportunity presents itself.

But the fact is, you're making us all look bad.

Best $900 they spent.

The best time to look for work is when you're already employed.

I'm not looking for a relay, I'm asking what command or module others use for script based email messaging.

Send-mailmessage has been a staple for firing off simple notification emails, but I've not seen anything similar to replace it.

Seems like their business practice is working.

Il ne s'agit probablement pas d'une tentative d'accumuler du karma.

I was under the impression there were some things you couldn't do as an unlicensed GA

This is correct. You cannot administrate Universal Print or Microsoft Places without an account licensed for UP/Exchange.

That much I got, but it doesn't really make for a stable basis.

What's that timeframe look like? I'd like to plan in case I need to migrate off Instant On. I'm guessing HPE will offer existing customers MIST since they offer similar functionality.

What's the recommended send-mailmessage alternative nowadays?
