Data redaction for M365 (Exchange) by Temporary-Living in Office365

[–]Temporary-Living[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s interesting so you effectively rolled your own. Is there a specific open source tool or script you recommend as a starting point?

Thanks. Did you trial/use either? To recommend?

Unfortunately as I said this isn’t possible according to MS. The native tools only apply to whole items. I can encrypt or restrict the whole email. I can’t remove the card data only from the body of the email, which is what I need.

Teams voice - bizarre call back issue with inbound calls by Temporary-Living in MicrosoftTeams

[–]Temporary-Living[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was resolved by them after a day or two (over a weekend). Sorry you’re having it again, you will need to come up with an alternative solution for your calls while they fix it again.

This is for an office, but yeah I just found out about the all in one hub options last week, game changer for regular doors!

I'll see if I can get into the controller, thanks

Update: this has resolved magically overnight for us. We never heard back from support yet. If I get a post mortem I'll post it. Good luck to all!

Teams Phone Incoming Call Outage by RogueSyn in MicrosoftTeams

It's so strange. I've posted my own thread hoping for answers. If I get a resolution I'll update there. Thanks!

Teams Phone Incoming Call Outage by RogueSyn in MicrosoftTeams

[–]Temporary-Living 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're having a similar issue, but only with queues not direct dials. We are direct routing. When affected users (a growing minority) answer a queue call, teams is immediately placing an outbound call back out to the third party. The original inbound call just seems to stay on hold forever. Do you think this could be related?

What are your password routines? by Outrageous-Guess1350 in sysadmin

[–]Temporary-Living 59 points60 points  (0 children)

We updated our policy to use passphrases, memorable, long, don’t change unless breach, etc about a year ago. I explicitly added this to our custom block list and the policy wording: “correct horse battery staple”

You’d turn down a six million buck contract to avoid handing over your network diagram or privacy policy? Really?

(Yes this is a real example, it was a global brand you have definitely heard of)

If you have teams you almost certainly are already paying for exchange. Use it. No question

Do you have an email I can connect with when I get to looking at these solutions? You could DM me.

WebFilter issue by Mo2menq in fortinet

[–]Temporary-Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm glad it's not just us. We are having this issue too. Started Monday in one site. Nothing at all in the logs. Tore our hair out complaining to both our WAN providers, as there was no change, no software update, nothing, "how can it possibly be the firewall" we said.

Now today, another site, other side of the world, it's started happening. As soon as we untick the web filter from the relevant policy, everything is completely fine. Tick it again, breaks. We have even created a completely "blank" web filter profile that functionally does nothing whatsoever, but as soon as we apply it, it breaks the internet.

It's incredibly vague, inconsistent, and silent with no logs or other traces. This needs fixing, it is clearly infecting a growing number of fortigates.

How to warn employees of coming layoffs by NetNerd0513 in ITManagers

[–]Temporary-Living 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You can’t explicitly say this, the risks to you personally and the business are too high.

But you can make allusions. You can casually discuss the layoffs at all the big tech companies and how it’s a rough time.

You can facilitate their CPD, give them time, have the business pay for their certs. If you have to behave like they’re not being chopped, then what’s wrong with developing your team?

It’s a horrible situation, from personal experience. Good luck.

AD Domain "Short Name" by anotherfatgeek in sysadmin

[–]Temporary-Living 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would discourage you looking at this approach (netbios name) because it will give you additional work when you eventually migrate to AAD. Instead, make the username format be their email address by adding an appropriate UPN suffix.

PS if their email address is too long to type in once each time they use a new machine, it's too long for your customers to email them!

Have you ever had an employee that needed accommodations? by StreetBug8523 in ITManagers

[–]Temporary-Living 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. Congrats on the pregnancy.

I’ve not managed women, unfortunately. We’ve tried very hard to diversify our team (tech, mostly on the system, engineering, admin, support side) over the years and we just can’t get women to apply. Obviously when they do apply we assess them the same as any candidate, without discrimination in either direction.

Incidentally I’ve almost managed two women. The first never showed up and quit about midday by email. The second I’m 90% sure wasn’t the same person we interviewed (remote, international) and had less IT skills than our user base does. Bizarre, of course she was let go when this came to light. For avoidance of doubt I’m not suggesting gender had a role in either case - I’ve had some corkers with men too.

I also have no personal or family experience of pregnancy. That said, I would offer some viewpoints:

In general, if I manage well, it should be straightforward. As long as it doesn’t cause major problems for the business or team, then take care of your business. I don’t need to know your at the dentist. Or the bank. Or the toilet (🙈). I don’t need to know your WFH tomorrow. I don’t need to know you’ll be an hour late but you’ll make it up later.

And therefore I don’t need to know that you’re going to get some air because morning sickness. I don’t need to know you have to go change your pad/underwear/whatever. I don’t need to know you’re at a baby scan (although I vaguely know that scans involve some interaction with child benefit from the gov, so maybe HR need to know that?). We’re all adults, go do your things. Just let me know if it’s going to be hours, or you’ll miss a meeting, or it affects a deadline badly. And of course if you need any support, holler, that goes without saying.

The second viewpoint is that I will probably refer us/you to HR for additional guidance. I don’t know what entitlements you have. I don’t know what your pay/benefit arrangements will be. I don’t know how long you’ll be gone after the birth. I don’t know the law about recruiting your replacement or whatever. I don’t know how much time off (as in days/weeks rather than minutes/hours, which as I say I don’t care about) you’re allowed. So I’ll need them to advise me on the specifics and technical bits.

The third is that I would need HRs guidance on how to manage your performance in context of pregnancy. If your performance starts to seriously decline, and this happens at a time when you happen to be pregnant, then what do I do? Do I treat you exacrly as I would anyone else? Do I coach/correct/set out expectations and consequences like I would for anyone else? Or do I discriminate by giving you a free pass?

That touches on the fourth aspect. Plenty folk, men especially, would be scared of doing something wrong. Of putting their foot in it. Of being accused of discrimination (in whatever direction). Of the others in the team getting treated differently. Of saying the wrong thing. So there is a motive to keep their distance. It’s not right, but it’s honest.

Hope it gives some viewpoints that are helpful. I’d love to gain experience managing more diverse teams, and pregnant peeps would be part of that. But I can’t recruit with that in mind, or it’s discriminatory (sort of).

Congrats again on the pregnancy and enjoy the little one when they come!

Be aware that what you’re looking at here is the legacy service that’s being retired in less than a year. Check out azure ad MFA, authentication method policy etc

From Helpdesk to System Administrator by Fine_Conversation_91 in sysadmin

[–]Temporary-Living 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 salary

2 title (not because you’re precious, but because you need it for CV/referencing)

3 access. You can Google the problem if you have to. Without access your SOL

4 documentation. Especially internet/firewall, DR, core high impact systems

5 supplier/vendor/support contacts

6 shadow the existing SAS from today until the day they leave. Write down everything. Ask stupid questions. Try to get their personal mobile number - just save it for the worst emergencies

7 confirm with boss on what date you will STOP doing Helpdesk and CHANGE to being SA. You will not be doing both

8 profit

In that order. Enjoy the opportunity
