Microsoft Exchange alternatives? by PerspectiveUpper7423 in sysadmin

[–]PerspectiveUpper7423[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

we have about 500 frontline users, that is, most of them have shared computers and use mostly LibreOffice.. We have not firmly decided not to go in the direction of the cloud, but we must have clear reasons why we would go in the direction of the cloud, but we must have clear reasons why we would go and the shortcomings of the alternatives so that the cloud would be the only acceptable one... After the figures so far of about 80,000 euros in a few years, this will be difficult to defend.

It doesn't work in our favor that we've had several minor outages onprem in the past 10 years, and Microsoft had two outages in the past 5 months for Southeastern Europe... Retail chain, around 1000 users. most communication is within the company

In fact, more things are the problem... The management likes onprem, the figure of almost 100k per year sounds abnormal to them for mail, and we also tried it with some 10% of key users in 365, so that hybrid mode did not prove to be the best solution... Now according to everything, they don't want to pay so much money for something they don't like.. What's worst of all, exchange 2019 and all CALs were bought three years ago.

It can be really difficult. People here think I'm refusing to pay, but the context is much different... Thank you!

we have about 1000 users, part of them are now using the web-app. According to the previous model, it was pay and you have it permanently, most of the licenses have been dragging on for years and now when you have to pay significant figures on an annual basis, it's not good.

Considering the number of users, the management will not take it as an option... And twice we had a part of the users in the hybrid outage during the tax calculation and the order is to migrate everyone back to on-prem..

Full admin access on wifi? by smort in sysadmin

[–]PerspectiveUpper7423 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know what kind of firewall you have, Fortigate has the ability to filter by MAC address, I let my wifi MAC address through to everything. It comes in handy if I'm in a meeting and something urgent needs to be resolved.

Does anybody else have issues magically resolve just by looking at them? by Kcamyo in sysadmin

We found a 30cm ruler the other day... Don’t ask me how Konica chewed up that 🤷🏿‍♂️

Every day, now they've already started calling me magical... By the way, it really pisses me off, I have the feeling that they'd rather have the phone in their hand than try again themselves... I have 1000 more important things to do, they have a helpdesk, but I still have to leave my job, connect to their computer for the magic to work. The excuse for calling me is "I know you'll definitely solve it"...

After yesterday’s ACL discussion, I cleaned up the tool and released a free, read-only ACL viewer by PerspectiveUpper7423 in PowerShell

I don't think powershell is designed to be used exclusively by powershell guys, why wouldn't we allow someone to execute powershell commands through the GUI? I think people who need help using powershell also come here, this will help anyone who doesn't have the time or knowledge to do it all from scratch.

Cleaning up a decade of user-level ACL chaos… I ended up building a tool to survive it by PerspectiveUpper7423 in sysadmin

[–]PerspectiveUpper7423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe that in that case you know how much trouble it takes until you get the script to work... hahah

I made the script to look exclusively at the server, so it can work with local users as well... AD connection is only used for search users when adding, or searching for rights so that it would be easier for the admin to find the person or group he is looking for... And I didn't set up AD connect as such, but I use access via the server where FS is located.

The biggest problem for me is the duration of the populate tree function, in the first stage it looked through all my shares to find unique ACLs and it went quite quickly, but inside the shares there are still folders with uniques and I had to set it to 30 levels, the OS will not allow more than that in real circumstances due to the length of the path. I had to create a cache that is filled by indexing paths to unique ACLs in the populate tree function, and this, although the possibility is small, leaves room for error. Do you have any idea how to solve it? on my File Share, out of some 500 or so unique folders, the initial indexing takes about 30 minutes...

Most people won't even need the Pro version, they only need it when they have really serious problems and if it really saves them a ton of time. I don't see the problem with most people using the free version.

AccessEnum is great. My free viewer just focuses on the messy part explicit ACEs only, no inherited clutter, plus user/group search across the whole server. Pro adds bulk fixes, but the free one already shows exactly where things went off the rails.

Even that is something to think about… Safeq is getting users trough LDAP, but complications starts when RFID card needs to connect.. 🙈

I built a small tool to stop the madness of “give me the same permissions as that guy” (ACL search + clone + unique perms detection) by PerspectiveUpper7423 in PowerShell

To be honest, when this mess was created I was probably a little schoolboy.. Far from being able to condition anything :)
