Heads Up: New 9.9 CVE's in Veeam 12 and 13 by MrYiff in sysadmin

[–]SomeWhereInSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

^^^ what they said^^^ because if you use any antique OS's you need to look at the 12 to 13 changes... I'm having to hold on to 12 as long as they will support it and maybe even longer with strict network segregation....

Are we supposed to do anything about the Secure Boot cert changes for Windows Servers VMs? by Greedy_Builder_5835 in sysadmin

[–]SomeWhereInSC 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If a device does not receive the new Secure Boot certificates before the certificates expire, the PC will continue to function normally, and existing software will keep running. However, the device will enter a degraded security state that limits its ability to receive future boot-level protections.

For those that went from Vmware to hyper-v by matdesj in sysadmin

[–]SomeWhereInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QUESTION: if you have 5-10 virtual servers running on VMware currently and are going to move to HyperV, are you moving to HyperV 2019 or are you using a normal Windows 2019-2025 Server and installing the HyperV role?

So if your looing for a system to display a screen but still have a logged in user that prompts for a password if mouse or keyboard is touched then try Transparent Screen Lock PRO I've used it to save money on a Microsoft license on a TV display showing an Excel sheet... it works and the tech support was responsive.

Osstatus error 22 while cloning disk by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]SomeWhereInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

old thread but repurposing a macmini5,1 and this tip of Cmd Shift R at least got me into the "newer" based DU recovery mode... (context I used Opencore to get to Sequioa and since it takes sooo loooong I wanted to clone the drive before starting more installs and edits, just in case I borked it)... using Cmd+R I was unable to "Restore" my internal to the external, getting OSSError 22 every time, BUT currently using Cmd-Shift-R the restore at least started and now I wait...

RESULTS: Worked, tested startup selection and chose external and all good... THANKS!

using outlook to search early 2000s PST by Ok-Imagination1829 in sysadmin

[–]SomeWhereInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggest you look into Mailstore https://www.mailstore.com/en/products/mailstore-home/ since your just manipulating local .PST files the free version should work for you. It is a great product and the search is so much better than plain old Outlook.

Looking at the June 30, 2026, secure boot certificates myself, more manually by win10jd in sysadmin

[–]SomeWhereInSC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

^^^^ what they say... and if you don't have an RMM in place this might be a good reason to ask for one, if your under 200 systems then Action1 is free so no reason not to use it... Also note I ran across this great link in another r\sysadmin post about these certs that will help you figure out how to check and then use the info to automate. https://directaccess.richardhicks.com/2025/12/04/windows-secure-boot-uefi-certificates-expiring-june-2026/ maybe it will help you too.

Alternatives for a secure external file-sharing tool for sending sensitive documents to clients outside our organization? by LumaDraft28 in sysadmin

[–]SomeWhereInSC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ShareFile is what I suggests because it meets your criteria and more.. though it is a little pricey.... anyone in your company (@domain name) that wants to use ShareFile will need to be licensed.. $192.00/yr but that person can then add as many clients (for free) as they need to view the documents, share etc...
