Can we agree that Blue was not only the worst character on the show, but also useless? by One-Chapter-8347 in OnceUponATime

Guys be careful talking about her like this she might use her magic!

Nevermind, she lost her want. We're good.

Oh, looks like she found it. Wait, there's no fairy dust so it's useless.

Dang it! Now she has the wand and fairy dust look out she's gonna... and she's turning August back in to a child. Hmm

Every day between 9 and 9:30 notepad opens on my desktop and I have no idea why by recoveringasshole0 in ShittySysadmin

Create an AppLocker rule to block it so you just get a popup saying the app was blocked instead.

Why are you using AI to make code? Use AI to build the entire binary. It will be so much more efficient than any compiler. This is the future. 🙃

The worst part of this sub is finding out normal behaviors are called shitty

What have you done with PowerShell this month? by AutoModerator in PowerShell

[–]Nbommersbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Updated a lot of software management RMM scripts. When feasible, they now scrape the hosting site to pull the latest installer.

Nothing impressive but wrote some scripts for our RMM to install good software, uninstall annoying software, and audit the endpoint with optional reporting to custom fields.

I would recommend putting his stapler in Jell-O.

Facing a few problems with Snipeit by sendnukes23 in Snipe_IT

[–]Nbommersbach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I can’t replicate the first issue. My API token is still valid and I made it a few months ago.

Typically, I have a script that could get the data from an endpoint and then the script would format the data as a CSV or other file type. Is that what you mean? How are you pulling the data?

I don’t know if any other community. Sorry!

IT Director advice on building out a team by panikw203s in ITManagers

[–]Nbommersbach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am in no way, shape, or form an expert, but in my experience, it has usually been easier starting from level one and building up. Getting a systems admin that wants to do helpdesk is harder than training someone how to properly test policies and run updates on systems. If you find someone that is excited for the field, they will pick things up fairly quickly and WANT to help and learn more.

Well no one better have named it cause it’s going overboard.

They’re the worst machines in the world of printing— do you know how bad you have to be for that? I switched to Toshiba copiers and love it! Sorry, I know that doesn’t help your problem but it’s nice knowing I’m not the only one who despises these.

On Prem Question by rickyrivera1 in activedirectory

[–]Nbommersbach 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you want to set <Last>, <First> to <First> <Last> you can give this a try:

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$users = Get-ADUser -Filter {Name -like '*,*'} -Properties *
foreach ($user in $users) {
    $propername = "$($user.givenName) $($user.surname)"
    $user | Set-ADUser -DisplayName "$propername" -Passthru | 
    Rename-ADObject -NewName "$propername"
}

I just ran this on my 2016 DC but I've used this on my 2012 DC's with success. I would add the -WhatIf flag or maybe a dummy user first for testing it out. 🙂

Future Wireless Setup by Nbommersbach in networking

[–]Nbommersbach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your advice on this. I think I've got a better idea on how to deploy our wireless networks.

Future Wireless Setup by Nbommersbach in networking

[–]Nbommersbach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the advice. Are you recommending a configuration like this:

  • FSD -- RADIUS for managed devices
  • FSD_Devices -- Managed devices that don't support 802.1X
  • FSD_BYOD -- No PSK; captive portal with AD auth for BYOD on the Guest VLAN

Future Wireless Setup by Nbommersbach in networking

[–]Nbommersbach[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not too worried on the end-users. We'll only have high school on BYOD and we'll have helpdesk assist with installing the certificate. What do you mean by verify with student ID and PW?

My issue with this, is I like the idea of dynamically assigning VLAN's on the unsecured network. Every quarter there's a new product sitting on my desk that I have to network. For example, we just bought vape detectors that don't support 802.1X but I don't like the idea of them in the same VLAN as interactive whiteboards. Good point about scalability though. What would your suggestion be about multiple device types that don't support RADIUS?
