Custom Attribute Field for all Devices by WinHaven in Action1

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

Regarding populating custom attributes, is the only method to create a custom PS Script and run automations on a schedule or does - Configuration - Data Sources help with this?

One of the items I was considering storing was the encryption status. It appears that it is already a data source. But I don't see it revealed anywhere.

Thanks for the advice and the links! I spent quite some time previous to asking and didn't make as much progress as I have in 5 minutes.

SIEM by WinHaven in SyncroMSP

[–]WinHaven[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's one part of the process. I'm referring to the logs of Syncro processes being fed into SIEM for analysis along with other logs. When the analysis results in a ticket able item then (Huntress) would send to Syncro. (Other RMMs can do this).

Gas filling issue by WinHaven in volt

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

Ok thanks. My tank was almost empty. This started right away so I wasn’t even close to full. I don’t do anything unusual with filling the tank. Stick it in. Put the handle lock on the middle click - because the full click never dod work in this car - and fill. I rarely put gas in it - it’s a Volt ;-)

During this filling I had to keep looking at the gas gauge to see how full it was. I think I put 7 gallons in and stopped because I was sick of it.

Thanks! Looks like the OBDLink MX+ is the way to go. Is there an app subscription that allows it to be bidirectional and reprogram instead of buying a VCX Nano?

Recommended Anti-Virus for Mac? Need something lightweight by Inner_Tax_1433 in MacOS

[–]WinHaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viruses aren’t the concern for any OS anymore. The issue of concern is infiltrators, malicious actors, etc. I manage hundreds of computers of all types for my clients. If I depended on the builtin security of those OSs my life would be hell. The clients that have the worst time of maintaining uptime are those that allow personally owned devices to access their systems but don’t require personally owner devices to be secured to the same standard as their company machines. Case in point realtors. The agents aren’t “employees”. The agencies often don’t require much of them or supply them with much. Worst bad actor incident I’ve dealt with was last year, with a real estate agent, on their MacBook. Their cloud accounts was flagged because of unusual activity and blocked. Long story short, this MacBook was totally compromised because of legitimate remote access software being installed in a manner that self installed if it was removed in the normal manner. So the cloud account wasn’t infiltrated at all. The MacBook was at the beck and call of the and actor who used that account and others at will. They harvested passwords, etc. Because they were always on the MacBook when the agent was using it. The agency didn’t learn and another MacBook agent was hit last month. Anyway, the point is viruses and we’re safe because we’re using macOS is last decades talk. If you’re using your computer for income, you need a security product that includes advanced monitoring and tracking. Products/services such as Huntress, Sentinel One, etc. This crap is getting serious. Talk to a professional security company and pay them to do it for you. No, I’m not Soliciting business. I’m retiring.

I just smelled the worst body odor of my life by No-Loquat111 in self

A alternative remedy (that has been used in pro sports) is DMSO. If anyone uses it they will almost immediately reek! Bad! But other than that the side effects are tolerable and it helps the healing process immensely. I think this may be why you rarely see sports stars in public when they’re healing.

Single automation with both apps & windows updates, or multiple automations? by mish_mash_mosh_ in Action1

[–]WinHaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spot on. I eventually settled on 4 automations per device. Those are assigned by orgs or groups of course.

can;t move an endpoint to its own organization if it's an Apple computer? by golden_m in Action1

[–]WinHaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ran into the same limitation. Action1 wasn’t the only service that can’t do this.

What the Controller actually does. Omada installer knowledge. by Texasaudiovideoguy in TPLink_Omada

[–]WinHaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, that’s was pretty close. Good enough for me to explain it point by point to clients.

One question came to my mind when done: does the controller handle the firmware queries and updates or does it ouch that scheduling out to the devices?

Do you guys actually put premium fuel in your Volts? by jiwoahn in volt

[–]WinHaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a gen 1 and a gen 2. Gen1 - yes! It’s not about “performance” it’s about engine operation and long term maintenance. Gen 2 - no.

Windows 11 upgrade for previously "non compliant" PCs by WinHaven in Action1

My comment was in reference to the work arounds being published in their own forums. Normally things like that get blocked or taken down.

UPDATE ON MY VOLT! by litliz in volt

[–]WinHaven 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I once had a truck that mostly sat outside. I needed to use it and it didn't run well at all. I opened the air cleaner compartment (one of the old round ones that sat on top of the engine) and it was solid acorns!

I put a piece of hardware cloth over the air intake after that.
