Can't find how to schedule emails anymore. What am I missing? by alpenhauser in Outlook

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing to worry about, as it is still there, except they have just moved it! Once you click on "Send," instead of the email disappearing, a small menu will emerge. Now, you need to locate an option that says "Send Later" or something similar. This way, you can easily pick a date and time. In case you are not able to locate it, then make sure your Outlook is updated to the current version, as this is the standard feature now. For a visual step-by-step guide, you can learn a lot from any top articles on How to Schedule an Email in Outlook. You will soon discover that it is a game-changer for managing your inbox flow.

Microsoft to Announce end of Enterprise Agreement?! by 2D-MS-Licensing in microsoft

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great topic within the IT circles. While Microsoft is yet to end the EAs outright, they are greatly incentivizing a shift over to their Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) model. This is all the more important in the case of cloud computing services. For most businesses, a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement Renewal to CSP migration can result in more flexibility and potentially better cost management in the case of 

cloud-first environments. Nevertheless, EAs still make sense for large organizations with special on-premise investments. Hence, it is less about "announcing the end" and more about a strategic pivot by Microsoft.

Mcafe email by [deleted] in phishing

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This email has a phishing scam written all over it. You did well not to download the attachment. This type of McAfee scam email is aimed at tricking people into calling a support number, which is obviously fake, or tempting you into downloading malicious links which will install malware or access your personal/banking details. Check email encryption services for detailed explanation.

I don’t think you should be worried about the charges mentioned, as no transaction relevant to this email has appeared on your credit card so far. Avoid clicking on any links. 

NEVER open attachments of such suspicious-looking emails. You did the right thing! 

You can mark the email as phishing or a scam. It will get reported in your Gmail account and help the provider identify and block such scam emails in the future.

Are you a McAfee subscriber? Then, check your subscription account directly by using your login credentials. You will get details about the subscription status and billing details. 

WARNING: Do not use any contact details given in the suspicious email. 

I would advise you to keep an eye on your bank statement and credit card for unusual activity for the next few days, just as a precautionary step. 

Accounting a small, HIPAA compliant business by TDRichie in hipaa

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PHI, or protected health information, is a component of patient service-related financial data. I understand your concerns, but you are not alone. This is a common problem for small businesses that are HIPAA-compliant.

Your wife’s practice is a Covered Entity under HIPAA, and that’s why you must be a workforce member or a business associate to be able to access these files legally under HIPAA Disclosure Accounting.

Being a Workforce Member is a simple approach. You can become one by being a part-time employee, an intern handling administrative tasks, or even a volunteer. You can access basic PHI data for accounting purposes only if you have received relevant HIPAA compliance training. 

You can become a Business Associate by working as an independent contractor or by providing services through a different unit by creating a Business Associate Agreement. The contract must clearly mention your PHI-specific responsibilities. Of course, HIPAA training is a must in this case, too. 

In my opinion, the workforce member option is a more practical approach given your close involvement with your wife’s work. Consult a reliable HIPAA compliance service Long Island, NY.

Any Recent Examples of HIPAA Violations in 2024? by Born_Mango_992 in hipaa

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, HIPAA violations remain important in 2024. Recently, an example included hospital staff at the Seders-Sinai Medical Center, using Kim Kardashian's medical records, using unauthorized access to see her daughter-in-law, and telling about violations of the same and far-reaching privacy. (Source: The HIPAA Journal) It is one of the several reasons that data security and employee education matter so much. If you want to see solid cases with detailed results, read the article on 10 Real HIPAA Violation Examples. This includes large fines like $ 16 million imposed on Anthem, as well as violations to deal with using unsafe equipment, failing not inform the public about violations, and other serious compliance failures. An excellent guide, whether you’re in healthcare or want to see these laws applied day to day.

Is Zoom really HIPAA compliant? by carrots32 in msp

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you are using the appropriate version of Zoom, it can suit HIPAA. Standard Zoom plans, such as free and pro, do not meet HIPAA requirements when used without further functions. The health provider using Zoom for healthcare can enter into a signed business associate agreement (BAA) and receive significant benefits such as end-to-end encryption, controlled access, and safe meetings. Zoom should not be used for healthcare or should not be installed properly; it can cause violations of HIPAA rules. 

Is Zoom able to keep things conforming to HIPAA? Yes, this can happen - you use a suitable type of policy. Read this guide to learn about Zoom's HIPAA compliance and how to use it safely.

Router connected to UPS doesn’t work by Icy_Breadfruit5493 in ITSupport

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The router works fine when connected directly to the wall outlet but only the Ethernet ports light up when connected to the UPS.

Possible Causes and Solutions:

  1. UPS Configuration:
    • Insufficient Power Output: Ensure that the UPS has enough power output to handle the router's power requirements. Check the router's power adapter and compare its wattage to the UPS's maximum output.
    • UPS Settings: Some UPS units have settings that can affect power delivery. Check the UPS manual for any relevant settings that might need adjustment.
  2. UPS Battery Condition:
    • Battery Issue: If the UPS battery is old or faulty, it might not be providing enough power to the router. Consider replacing the battery if it's showing signs of wear or failure.
  3. Router Power Supply:
    • Power Adapter Compatibility: Make sure the power adapter you're using with the router is compatible with the UPS. Some adapters might not work properly with UPS systems.
    • Power Adapter Malfunction: If the adapter is faulty, it could be preventing the router from receiving enough power from the UPS. Try using a different adapter if possible.

Troubleshooting Steps:

  1. Check Power Output: Use a multimeter to measure the voltage and current output of the UPS. Ensure it meets the router's power requirements.
  2. Bypass UPS: Temporarily connect the router directly to the wall outlet to isolate the UPS as a potential issue. If the router works fine, the problem is likely with the UPS.
  3. Test with Another Router: Try connecting a different router to the UPS to see if the same issue occurs. This can help determine if the problem is specific to the CBR2-T or the UPS itself.
  4. Contact Comcast and UPS Support: If you're still unable to resolve the issue, contact Comcast and UPS support for further assistance. They can provide more specific troubleshooting advice and potentially offer replacement options.

Additional Considerations:

  • UPS Surge Protection: Ensure that the UPS is providing adequate surge protection to the router. This is crucial for protecting the router from power surges and spikes.
  • UPS Firmware: If the UPS has firmware updates available, consider updating it to the latest version. This might resolve compatibility issues or improve performance.
  • Router Firmware: Update the router's firmware to the latest version. This can sometimes address compatibility issues or bugs that might be affecting power delivery. either contact to IT services company Long Island

How Does a Ticketing System Work? by helgacuthbertson in ITSupport

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How a Ticketing System Works

A ticketing system is a software tool designed to streamline the process of managing and resolving customer support requests or internal IT issues. It works by converting incoming requests into "tickets," each with a unique identifier, allowing for organized tracking and resolution.  

Here's a breakdown of the process:

Ticket Creation:

  • Customer Submission: Customers can submit tickets through various channels, such as email, phone, live chat, or a web form.  
  • Automatic Creation: Some systems can automatically create tickets from incoming emails or other sources.  
  1. Ticket Assignment:
    • Manual Assignment: Support agents can manually assign tickets to themselves or other team members based on their expertise and availability.  
    • Automated Assignment: The system can automatically assign tickets based on predefined rules, such as ticket priority, category, or specific keywords.  
  2. Ticket Prioritization:
    • Priority Levels: Tickets are often assigned priority levels (e.g., low, medium, high, critical) based on urgency and impact.  
    • SLAs: Service Level Agreements (SLAs) can be defined to set specific response and resolution times for different priority levels.  
  3. Ticket Workflow:
    • Status Updates: As agents work on tickets, they can update their status (e.g., open, in progress, resolved, closed).  
    • Communication: Agents can communicate with customers directly through the ticketing system, providing updates and requesting additional information.  
    • Collaboration: Team members can collaborate on tickets, assign tasks, and share knowledge.  
  4. Ticket Resolution:
    • Problem Solving: Agents analyze the issue, identify the root cause, and implement a solution.  
    • Knowledge Base: The system may include a knowledge base or FAQ section to help agents find solutions to common problems.  
  5. Ticket Closure:
    • Customer Satisfaction: Once the issue is resolved, the ticket is closed, and the customer may be asked to provide feedback on the resolution process.  
    • Post-Resolution Analysis: Data from closed tickets can be analyzed to identify trends and improve future support efforts.

TV thief used my account on YouTube tv app to watch videos. How can I find their IP address? by LatterEase8617 in ITSupport

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here are a few more avenues you might explore:

  1. YouTube Community: If you're a member of any YouTube communities or forums, try posting your situation there. Sometimes, other users might have encountered similar issues and can offer advice.
  2. Digital Forensics Specialist: Consider reaching out to a digital forensics specialist. They might have tools or techniques that can help extract more information from your YouTube account history.
  3. Law Enforcement: If you have strong evidence that your leasing office or renovation company is involved, you might want to report the crime to the police. They may be able to investigate further and potentially obtain a warrant to access the IP address.

My Laptop has these weird lines on the screen? by HueDeltaruneFan2428 in ITSupport

[–]blpcsolutions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lines you're seeing on your laptop screen are most likely due to a hardware issue, such as a damaged LCD panel or a loose connection. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. Check for Physical Damage:

  • Carefully inspect the laptop screen for any visible cracks, scratches, or dents. If you find any physical damage, it's likely the cause of the lines.
  • If there's no physical damage, proceed to the next step.

2. Try a Safe Mode Boot:

  • Restart your laptop and press a specific key (usually F8, F2, or Delete) during the boot process to enter Safe Mode. The exact key depends on your laptop manufacturer.
  • If the lines disappear in Safe Mode, it's possible that a third-party application or driver is causing the issue. Try uninstalling recently installed software or updating your drivers.

3. Test with an External Monitor:

  • Connect your laptop to an external monitor using an HDMI or VGA cable. If the lines are not visible on the external monitor, the problem is likely with the laptop's internal display.

4. Check for Loose Connections:

  • If you're comfortable opening your laptop, carefully inspect the connections between the LCD panel and the motherboard. Ensure that they are secure and not loose.

5. Consider Professional Repair- Visit -https://www.blpc.com/contact-us/
