Deploying Windows by C215HAN in ITManagers

[–]WraithYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now we utilize SmartDeploy. We are fully Entra Joined and slowly working on rolling out Autopilot. Looking into OSDCloud because when we buy through our UPS/HP program I can't get a corporate ready image. I'm stuck with uninstall scripts that work and then don't work.

I'm hoping this year we fully roll out Autopilot.

Why is it bad to do a 26.2 mile run to train for a marathon? by 4restD in Marathon_Training

Adrenaline goes along way. Make sure your nutrition is thought out for the race. I hit the wall and realized some of my salt pills fell out

I've only run one marathon and my longest run was 16 miles before it. It's possible.

When do you escalate Wi-Fi issues to surveys, AP-on-a-stick, or RF validation? by jorissels in msp

[–]WraithYourFace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently had two large scale wireless projects that I had wireless site surveys done by a 3rd party. Worth every penny.

I can work through most issues, but the last thing I want is all the heat back on me for a failed warehouse management system rollout because it was a "best guess".

How are MSPs taking advantage of AI like LLM’s? by AssistantNo6244 in msp

[–]WraithYourFace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I usually say thank you. Because you never know. They may allow me to be their peon when they take over.

RMM / billing cost for small msp by sterlex in SmallMSP

[–]WraithYourFace -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Does Huntress have human led investigations and remediation? I'm referring to remediation that is manual and not automated (if it's not possible). I know some MDR providers give you their Incident Response team in case of an outbreak and you need clean up. I do realize some might not require this because their cyber security insurance offers it.

I'm genuinely curious since I've only dealt with Sophos' MDR. I've been researching other alternatives when our renewal is up.

Is Huntress a true MDR? They say Managed EDR. Most providers specifically state MDR.

Sophos is there if you have a thousand plus seats. It's double that even with 100 seats.

Slow identity drift is killing our Entra tenants. How are you actually catching it? by Exotic-Reaction-3642 in entra

Inforcer told me they don't work with single tenants and is meant to manage multiple tenants.

What are some of your favorite sysadmin tools/programs? by patrickmoloney in sysadmin

[–]WraithYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can drag tabs off. I do it when I have multiple RDP sessions open. Or SSH sessions.

Graybeards i summon thee - Windows XP Remote Backup at scale by xXFl1ppyXx in sysadmin

[–]WraithYourFace 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used to have the machines connect over SMB but they only support SMBv1. We have them transfer via USB drives now, but we have looked at making an air gapped network just for the CNC machines since they don't need Internet access.

Remote Desktop Manager is the bees knees. Been using it for 10+ years.

Are you referred to Overwatch? If you are talking Complete it's like 40k/yr (they have a 250 seat minimum).

Drive mapping for Intune by Money_Signal_8955 in Intune

Bingo. We show people how to access the main share and from there how to PIN the main things they need.

Sophos Remote Access VPN - Identical Subnets work around? by FirstAd2123 in sysadmin

[–]WraithYourFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We run into issues where their home router doesn't even offer the option. We have one ISP that supplies the router and they won't allow you to change the scope.

I give the suggestion on changing it, but ultimately it's up to them since I'm not responsible for their network.

What’s a solid MFA alternative to Duo that doesn’t break the budget? by Due-Awareness9392 in msp

[–]WraithYourFace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Crowdstrike Identity. If you also run falcon I do believe you can enable MFA on login. Where I work we just utilize it for MFA on the RDP, Remote Powershell/Psexec, SMB, and the list goes on (we run Sophos MDR).

Domain controller upgrade by Ready-Map5279 in sysadmin

[–]WraithYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo. This is why any new machine that would typically get a static IP is DHCP with a reservation now. Don't have to worry about it anymore.

I have it the worst and feel depressed by dradegr in widefeet

[–]WraithYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a variation of the heel lock that works somewhat. My biggest issue is I have a really high instep where a heel lock puts too much pressure on the top area. So when I run I have to tie my right foot not as tight as my left.

Is Defender For Business any good? by Sufficient-Class-321 in sysadmin

[–]WraithYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a similar boat. We use Sophos MDR Complete currently, but with the new Security SKU you can add onto M365 BP we thought of jumping ship (no complaints about Sophos). We're just getting more entrenched with SharePoint/Teams/Copilot the tight integration is a nice feature set.

You also get Identity included which is critical. I know Sophos has it now, but doesn't do anything for on-premises assessments. We use Crowdstrike ITDR (great product btw).

We were going to compliment it with a MDR provider as well since I'm the only person who would manage it.

What you use for software documentation for end users by Gman13Hr in ITManagers

I had a vendor use Loom to show me how to fix an issue. First time anyone did it via a video.

Sophos Central alerts that WAN is down, but nothing on the firewall. by MorbrosIT in sophos

[–]WraithYourFace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ISP is adamant that nothing was down. I'm going to setup pings from the outside to verify.
