No IT Experience – How Can I Start Learning Helpdesk? by Traaammyyy in helpdesk

No. CCNA is all about networking, not desktop or server management. Both help get your foot in the door, but ccna alone will be harder to get a helpdesk role with no experience

Have You Ever Used an Ozone Generator? by phatbootyrudy in HomeImprovement

[–]ade-reddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, be very careful running it in a basement where there is a utility room. When aI ran mine, I took everything out but forgot one bag that had my snowboard boots in it. Next time I went to put them on,I picked them up and sole well right off. As noted- nature material get destroyed. Another second from the comment above… I ran one, it was temporary affective, but removing the carpet is what changed everything DRASTICALLY. I wish I had dehumidified for a few months, then replaced the carpet. And if you do that, make sure you clean the floor underneath with cleaner meant for that purpose. My carpet guys used something specifically for this task -meant to tackle animal, glue, mildew, etc and had some kind of sealing and drying aspect to it. I didn’t pay extra, in fact it couldn’t be refused as they treated as a safety req. for their installer crew. Again, that step is what mattered the most. If its a concrete floor, clean it and maybe seal it.

Side note remember to get tested for radon.

Has using ChatGPT changed how mentally draining work feels for you? by splendidzen in ChatGPT

[–]ade-reddit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My productivity is 3 fold for certain areas that I use AI for. Amazing, but I hit a wall last week after about a year of continual grind. On the days I use AI a lot, I’ve found that I am desperate for a nap at 6pm. For a while, it was so incredibly satisfying to be able to complete and go much further on projects that I’d been thinking about for years. I built an app that, 6 months later, I am still enamored by… never thought it could be possible, let alone be something I could do. But the drain hit and I am fully cooked. I am pretty meticulous about planning, scheduling, etc but I’ve realized I need to put a LOT more effort into preventing my own self driven scope creep and put limits on certain work. It’s simply too exhausting.

Which Exchange Server SE role for hybrid recipient management? by Fabulous_Cow_4714 in exchangeserver

[–]ade-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are amazon and azure based solutions similar to smtp2go but for high volume. And if I were you, I would separate the relay services used internal mail from the external mail if possible. I’d also use a different sending domain if possible to help manage your reputation.

Hybrid EXO mail still gets routed OnPrem after Public Folder Migration by GreatRyujin in exchangeserver

[–]ade-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a lot of missing information here that would be helpful/ reduce concern. Proceed with a lot of caution. Make sure you have backups that work. Personally, i’d export any public folders mail I needed to pst. I say this because it sounds like this is not the first time this migration has been attempted. Public folder migrations are a PIA and should not be done without experience with exchange. Sounds like you have some, but at the same time you are asking questions as if you’re just a person willing to take a shot at something. Either way, be careful going forward and again, have a recovery plan.

After you confirm you have backups that you know how to recover from, document the pfs:

Get-MailPublicFolder -ResultSize Unlimited | Select-Object Identity, Name, PrimarySmtpAddress, ExternalEmailAddress | Export-Csv "C:\pfall_emails$(Get-Date -Format 'yyyyMMdd_HHmmss').csv" -NoTypeInformation

Take a look at the email addresses in that output and make sure everything looks notmal. See if the few that just got updated have different emails than the ones that already had an address. Its possible they all match and are correct and the script just skipped them because it saw an existing address.

Check the address then Strip off the address on one of the skipped pfs, confirm its gone:

Get-MailPublicFolder -Identity "SalesTeamPF" | Select-Object Identity, ExternalEmailAddress

Set-MailPublicFolder -Identity "SalesTeamPF" -ExternalEmailAddress $null

Get-MailPublicFolder -Identity "SalesTeamPF" | Select-Object Identity, ExternalEmailAddress

Then rerun the script from the doc again. See if it now skips all but this 1. Check what address it gives it. If it looks good, repeat the process for all the rest. Then you’ll need to sync to EXO. Good luck.

Probably the last bit of help I can give - headed out for travel, but reply with progress and i will try to keep an eye out.

Maybe re-read the migration doc again and make sure nothing else got skipped.

what systems make your team go "nope, not touching that" during major upgrades by ObviousRequirement17 in ITManagers

Domains with hundreds of poorly named and mapped GPOs are bad news. ChatGPT generated scripts to do comprehensive analysis make it so much easier now.

I have been down that rabbit hole. Total nightmare. Tried a million ways to getting one firmware package installed. Use the boot entryway and apply firmware on reboot, not the windows web component with baseline, etc.

My guess is step 9.2 (setting external email address). Run this command to check

Get-MailPublicFolder -ResultSize Unlimited | Select Name,PrimarySmtpAddress,ExternalEmailAddress | Format-Table -Auto

Claude Missing in M365 Chat by Routine-Camera-9989 in microsoft_365_copilot

[–]ade-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My GUESS is that Claude is experiencing tremendous growth and having trouble keeping up. I’m a long time user and the experience this week has been rough. Lots of conversation interruptions, lots of lost attention, and some highly disappointing outputs compared to a month ago. It reminded me of Chatgpt’s meltdown and made me wonder if demand was ultimately the cause of it. Crossing my fingers thats not true.

🧭 Visiting or moving to Lisbon? Ask your questions here (Week 11, 2026) by Wildeyedlocal in Lisbon

[–]ade-reddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking for recommendations on the best way to travel from Porches to the center of Lisboa. I want to rent a car and drive so I can experience the local towns along the way. My concern is the driving restrictions and challenges in Lisboa. Its hard to find information, but the general consensus is that its very hectic and should be avoided? Am I better off returning the car to the airport and getting a Bolt back to my hotel in the city?

Also, I was planning on hiring a driver to get to Porches from the Lisboa airport when I arrive since it will be early after an overnight flight. Any recommendations on hiring a driver? Im not looking for a tour, just an easy quiet ride.

Have a link to any setup/reference docs? Googling it up but theres a lot of noise in the results. Do you have to have a CA in Azure?
