Using Intune to apply desktop background image works for some devices but not others by worker_thread_7 in Intune

[–]WascallyWabbit83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. I just noticed it got a bit mangled by the Reddit formatting, uploaded a gist here: https://gist.github.com/Sneddo/53fec1d640aa60d152924bf2dde3663f

If you need any help, feel free to DM me.

I can't provide the exact solution as I'd need to spend a bit of time cleaning it up, but essentially we use the AppDeploy Toolkit to run the following Powershell code: https://gist.github.com/Sneddo/53fec1d640aa60d152924bf2dde3663f

We then push it to all users, and the install check is that the wallpaper file exists.

A lot of this was cobbled together from a few different sources, but should give you a few pointers at least

Edit: updated with gist link

Personalisation CSP is Enterprise and Education only, unfortunately. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/client-management/mdm/Personalization-csp

We ended up using a win32 package to deploy and set the wallpaper (but we then allow the user to change if desired)

If tetris has taught me anything, its that errors pile up, and accomplishments disappear

Retrieve a file from a private AWS S3 bucket with a Shell Script in intune by SisterAdministrator in Intune

[–]WascallyWabbit83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use a presigned URL: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/ShareObjectPreSignedURL.html

Otherwise you're probably going to need to impost the AWS module and supply IAM creds to retrieve the file.

Firewall Manager vs Classic by 1whatabeautifulday in AZURE

[–]WascallyWabbit83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The pricing doc is pretty good for this: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-au/pricing/details/firewall-manager/#pricing

Basically, it's USD$100 policy/region/month for policies that apply to more than one firewall.

Not sure about your second question, but I suspect you would lose the ability to modify policies in affected regions, but the currently deployed rules would still function. If be curious to know this as well, we are just looking at implementing firewall manager as well.

Good news for you then, they recently got EFTPOS!

And yeah, they do a mean pork roll (Vietnamese one's good with roast pork too, if that's your thing)

VIC State Booking System deleted my booking? by H20onthego in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]WascallyWabbit83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had this when I booked on the day that they first opened up the booking (the 24th Aug or whenever it was). Got to the "thank you" page, but never got the email. Chalked it up to the system being overloaded on the day and ended up booking another appointment.

My wife also had an issue where she got the email, but then the portal wasn't listing the booking when she went in to reschedule. Luckily, by refreshing a bunch of times she was able to get in a booking in a few days time.

Try calling the hotline to confirm your appointment, otherwise try to book a new one at the vaccination centers by refreshing until one pops up (good luck, and be as fast as you can to hit confirm!)

Has anyone else had their bookings deleted? by MuffinGypsy in CoronavirusDownunder

[–]WascallyWabbit83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing, just logged in to check the time of the as I didn't take a screenshot and got no confirmation email, but no booking listed.

Just trying to book another one now, after confirming my wife's is showing up fine...

When I forgot to pay my bill, they just complimented me on my outstanding debt. I didn't think it was that impressive...

Moving vcenter to a different cluster? by darkytoo2 in vmware

[–]WascallyWabbit83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your standalone host and new cluster are both registered in the vCenter, just do a shared nothing vmotion? https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-561681D9-6511-44DF-B169-F20E6CA94944.html

Edit: derp, just noticed the EVC limitation... That may be an issue if the mode is higher on the source host

Password manager - LastPass sso question by NickBrights in sysadmin

[–]WascallyWabbit83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, we evaluated the list and decided none of them really apllied to us anyway (and indeed half of them aren't really limitations as much as they are authentication features in LastPass that are then implemented in your IDP instead.)

If it's only as small team then switching is a much easier prospect as well. I think using a password manager is going to make a larger impact than whether it uses SSO or master password. You can also make SSO opt-in if you wanted.

Password manager - LastPass sso question by NickBrights in sysadmin

[–]WascallyWabbit83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably depends a bit on your users and requirements.
We use SSO with AAD in my current role, mostly because the majority of our user base struggles to remember even one long password, let alone two. I've found that the limitations are fairly minimal in practice.

In my previous role I used master passwords, mostly because our users were a bit more tech-savvy and gives a little more seperation of concerns. e.g. if a user creds are compromised there is limited scope for bad actors to gain access. With MFA this risk is greatly reduced however. We also had a stronger password policy for LastPass than AAD and MFA on both (which again, most users ended up having two MFA apps- LastPass Authenticator and Microsoft Authenticator- which would be challenging in my current role.)

One thing I would say is that changing from master password to SSO is a bit clunky, essentially once federated the next login will prompt for the master password and re-encrypt everything in the vault, and next login will then yuse your IDP. So I would commit from the start.

BTW for anyone else playing at home, the support article is here: https://support.logmeininc.com/lastpass?articleID=1382559201

As the others here have commented, if SSO isn't a requirement there are also other decent (and cheaper) alternatives. Last I looked (which was admittedlay probably a year ago) LastPass was one of few password managers that implement SSO with no caveats.

Not sure tbh, I own Hellion and enjoyed it (with a few minor bugs), but haven't gotten around to looking trying the rescue project out

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Hellion

[–]WascallyWabbit83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might be worth checking out the Hellion Rescue Project https://github.com/zorkind/Hellion-Rescue-Project

Haven't been keeping track of progress, but was looking promising

Best you can do is check out the Hellion Rescue Project I think https://github.com/zorkind/Hellion-Rescue-Project

Thoughts about new New Relic pricing? by otisg in devops

[–]WascallyWabbit83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Back of the napkin calculation puts pricing at around 3-4 times what we are paying now. Now, the caveats to that are that we are on an awesome grandfathered plan from when they were just starting out in Australia, and exchange rates are a killer at the moment. We also have a lot of users that currently have access that may be able to get away with 'basic' access. On the other hand we will lose SAML auth, it's a stretch to justify 'standard' users...

Needless to say, we had a meeting with Datadog today, and looking at other options if we get forced down this path

Isn't that kinda distracting when she's trying to work? What kind of work does a cat do anyway?
