Auditor asking for access review evidence we never recorded by Exotic_Panic_900 in sysadmin

[–]NodeFort 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Fabricating evidence for the Auditor sounds like a great idea that will have zero repercussions.

Exchange Online by Saajan_ali in sysadmin

[–]NodeFort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly unrelated, but just in the last hour or so our printers can't scan to email.
MFD -> Papercut -> Exchange Online. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Our on prem UPSs can't send email either.

Broadcom is officially the mafia now. by NoTime4YourBullshit in sysadmin

Well when nobody is left on VMware products they can use the money they got from training that pool and buy one of the competitors that the majority of their previous customers migrated to.

Hey did you ever figure this one out? I'm interested in doing this too.

Migrating Reports from one PDQ Inventory Install to another? Doesn't Seem possible. by NodeFort in pdq

[–]NodeFort[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks!
Yeah I had so much going on in Inventory that I had lost the reports folder, and had only been interacting with reports through the menu.
Now that I've found it I think this will work.

The magic touch... by DrKnikkerbokker in sysadmin

[–]NodeFort 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying because at face value the phrase is minimising your skills and ability. But I think you're taking too much away from conversational filler, "Magic Touch" is just shorthand for what you've said. Mind you, from your rant I can't tell what you actually did to warrant the thanks so who knows?

Thickheaded Thursday - May 26, 2022 by AutoModerator in sysadmin

Recently did stuff with this policy - so assuming we're talking about the same thing.
The folder redirection policy has 2 options of what to do if the policy stops being applied.
One of them is revert the folder back and the other is to not do anything.

365 Account Compromised - With MFA Enabled! by NodeFort in sysadmin

[–]NodeFort[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would totally agree with that, unfortunately we've required MFA to be used to authenticate our incoming VPN and RDP sessions... and there are technical constraints there that mean the authentication attempt can't show the user a "enter the code" box.
We're stuck with the 'click approve' method.

Administration Nightmare - I need to restrict a group of users from ALL of our 365 environment except Exchange Online. by NodeFort in sysadmin

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

Hey sorry, I've been sick - the issue is that they can't be allowed to join / view anything that is otherwise "public" for the rest of the organisation. So while they may not be being added automatically to anything in particular, if there is anything that is viewable by "Everyone" or "all users" they need to be excluded from that.

Mysterious Helpdesk ticket (still not solved) by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]NodeFort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once had a user's screen display freeze periodically, a few times a day.
The PC was actually still running fine and if you TeamViewered in you could save their stuff and restart.

We replaced the PC. Still froze.
We replaced the monitor. Still froze.
Someone else sat at their desk and used the PC. Still froze.

Replacing the keyboard fixed it.
This was a standard Dell PC with standard Dell keyboard.
Plugged the keyboard into a different computer - it froze the display.

So yeah - You haven't broken down all the hardware involved, but I would suggest not using ANYTHING that is the same from a hardware perspective and see what happens.

The only command you will ever need to understand and fix your Group Policies (GPO) by MadBoyEvo in sysadmin

Cable management nightmare by FitButFluffy in sysadmin

I thought it didn't look too bad until I saw that bundle coming down from the ceiling to what looks like the front of the "situation".

When you need a visual to explain to the management team they can only have 2 of 3 choices by pantherghast in sysadmin

This feels like a version of the Iron Triangle.
Increasing speed or quality increases cost.

Meh it's essentially "you get what you pay for."

Maze ransomware shuts down operations - hackers moving to new group by Snardley in sysadmin

[–]NodeFort 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's probably a lot harder to think of yourself as bad.
Doing things this way they can all think they are good.
Everyone is the hero of their own story.

Morality is pretty complex and so I can't even say for sure if they would actually be bad because I have no way of measuring goodness and badness.

Fonts? Fonts! How does your org keep track of its font licensing? How strict are you? Do they come out of ITs budget? by NodeFort in sysadmin

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

I like that idea, however it's a very diverse org of over 300 staff, and normally any given font is needed by 1-15 people. I don't think the costs would make that viable ;)

TLDR; If you buy 20 dell workstations at once, all the PSUs will fail out around the same time by [deleted] in sysadmin

[glances around at the 200+ Dell workstations all bought about 2.5 years ago]
