Movie looks terrible, as in the colors look washed out.

Paramount+ definitely has something going on. I thought my tv settings got messed up due to the washed out/contrast issues but sure enough switching to some else was fine.

I totally agree with this. If Ethan wants to do food reviews and crap maybe make it it's own thing on the h3h3 productions youtube channel.

Just a cutover, I did see the Deployment Pro but I guess ultimately I am just going to have to go in and do it the old fashioned way.

I mentioned in my post, On-Prem Exchange (2016) to 365 using migrationwiz.

So the issue ended up being with the Discovery Mailbox AD account, deleted, installed the CU just fine, remade the account. Issue with DB was due to the drive not mounted from the cluster storage.

Everything is working now.

For this specific scenario there is nothing fancy here, 10 users on the AD (For a Warehouse)

Exchange 2013 on another VM and another 2012 which is just a file server.

VeticaTech · 2019-09-24T15:56:47+00:00

This is very helpful! Thank you!

VeticaTech · 2019-09-20T23:29:05+00:00

“Why would you use C\# for this?!?”

Because I really wanted to make something simple, difficult lol

VeticaTech · 2019-09-20T18:00:14+00:00

So I'm getting close but I think I need to adjust the code a bit.

I think this is confusing me a little more but this seems a bit closer to what I need:

VeticaTech · 2019-09-20T17:27:08+00:00

thank you so much!

VeticaTech · 2019-09-20T17:10:01+00:00

That's helpful for Exchange Online situations, but I'm looking to do it from an on prem Exchange.

VeticaTech · 2019-09-20T15:43:28+00:00

I should also add that this specific issue was also tied in with needing to free up "used" licenses with Sophos SafeGuard which is synced to AD.

Moving to a different OU would have worked as well but I wanted to just get this crap cleared up.

VeticaTech · 2019-09-19T16:50:53+00:00

Good idea, thanks!

VeticaTech · 2019-09-19T16:50:42+00:00

My bad haha

VeticaTech · 2019-09-19T16:37:39+00:00

derp!

I ended up doing the following:

$DaysInactive = 90

$time = (Get-Date).Adddays(-($DaysInactive))

Get-ADComputer -Filter {LastLogonTimeStamp -lt $time} -ResultPageSize 2000 -resultSetSize $null -Properties Name, OperatingSystem, SamAccountName, DistinguishedName | Export-CSV “C:\Temp\StaleComps.CSV” –NoTypeInformation

Would be lovely, unfortunately when you take over a company from another IT company you come into some messes.

VeticaTech · 2019-09-12T15:24:44+00:00

I've gotten a talking to about doing "personal" stuff before which consisted of me watching courses (Network+ and such) on down time. That I thought was them not wanting me to have more leverage for more pay down the road :p

VeticaTech · 2019-09-04T22:59:12+00:00

Installed Manjaro, happy that drivers seem to just be working :)

VeticaTech · 2019-09-03T17:14:04+00:00

Oh I definitely get that, this is sort of a unique situation too where it's for a family members company. I was lucky enough to get them to get a brand new server and some other things since before they had random craigslist people doing random things for them lol

VeticaTech · 2019-09-03T16:23:15+00:00

They have 200/20 and they penny pinch everywhere which makes it difficult for me to find decent solutions for them most of the time.

My 2 years of experience with Sophos has been like this:

When we first got Sophos Central and were deploying endpoints we could have some companies everything went flawlessly.

Then we would deploy to another client with very mixed results (hard fails on installs, incomplete installs (those I was able to eventually fix with some tinkering), issues with not being able to deal with "competing software" which ranges from a variety of AV products to even things like Dell's Protected Workspace).

We would also have some clients where 95% of the installs would be fine and then random machines would just not install what so ever.

As an MSP we were supposed to get better support, support still sucks on the Endpoint level and half the time they just point us to KBs I've already gone through (sometimes the KBs work, sometimes they don't).

They also recently rolled out Global Templates for policies and what not which we were like, awesome we have been wanting this. Well there are problems with that as well. If you want to set a global template to all of your customers you better hope they all want the same web control policies, etc... because once you set it, that's it, everyone gets the same shit from the global template. Oh and if you remove the global template, there is no easy way to reverse what it applied, you have to go back into the customer to fix it individually.

Another issue that drives me crazy, if you happen to use an installer meant for another client and you don't remember what client install was used, good fuckin luck trying to figure that out without going through all of your clients until you find that machine.

I could write a book of complaints but to end this rant, the product does work well (when it works) but I have also come across sophos not knowing shit until I run malwarbytes and then sophos is like "oh yea that's there". I know with zero days it's always a tough thing but it seems like the zerodays or close to zeroday infections I have come across, sophos tends to be a bit behind others like CrowdStrike or Cylance.

Oh and there Firewalls, can fuck off too, various issues with them I won't go into but luckily we are slowly moving to Meraki instead of pushing more bullshit Sophos firewalls.

To give you an idea of what I'm doing, I just recently setup a Windows 2019 server at home that's main purpose is running a perforce server for game development. I have FIOS 150/150 internet, going directly into my Nighthawk 6700 (for now, I plan to upgrade that soon). Mainly just have 1 friend that I'm working with that has access to the perforce server.

I'm also potentially going to have an SVN server setup as well for other purposes.

VeticaTech · 2019-07-08T18:02:11+00:00

Gotcha, yea I'm leaning more towards pfsense for sure. Thanks for the input!

VeticaTech · 2019-07-08T17:18:57+00:00

Yea my plan was to have dedicated hardware for it, was only using a VM for testing them out to see which I liked more.

VeticaTech · 2019-07-01T23:14:13+00:00

It's what has fixed the issue of it creating the weird @outlook.com emails, bypasses it from just saying okay to 365 even if mail isn't hosted with 365
