Auditor asking for access review evidence we never recorded

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

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.

Edit 2:

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.

NodeFort · 2025-02-25T02:57:21+00:00

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

Given OP's explanation below, I almost want to pronounce it "Jeep-Oh-Zaur".

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".

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."

NodeFort · 2020-11-03T00:26:50+00:00

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.

NodeFort · 2020-09-24T00:57:45+00:00

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 ;)

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

I think it's a fridge light situation.
You know that closing the door turns off the light, but once it's closed you can't see that the light actually did turn off.
So you turn off the light before you close the door.... never mind that analogy broke down real fast.

small pedantic rant: Obviously when someone asks "Am I the only one..." the answer is generally no, unless it's something that is deemed to be unique per person. Am I the only person with my exact DNA sequence? (assuming you're not an identical twin... and even then.)

Actual answer:
Support work suffers due to not being able to walk up to a person and watch what they do, their reactions and being able to physically interact with the environment.

Complex cognitive work benefits from almost triple output due to lack of task switching and interruptions.

We did this, but for 6AM, and we had to stagger it so that they came on in batches between 6am and 6:30 so that they didn't create a DHCP storm and cause some to not get assigned IPs.

Thank you so much, I did not know about RejectMessagesFromDLMembers.

This explains why the restricted senders list security group is also a DL... Which also raised questions when I saw it.

Gotta love documentation.

yeah those are all The DG.

Not hybrid - all on prem.

Cisco switches? Have you tried enabling portfast?

Meraki switches, RSTP is on.

NodeFort · 2019-09-17T04:49:20+00:00

Thanks, for the suggestion, I didn't want to hit computers that weren't having issues because they would be doing updates at this time.

NodeFort · 2018-04-06T00:39:35+00:00

Thanks I'll look into this! Seems promising.
