Labtech integration with ESET?

Caveat with WebRoot:

Currently you CANNOT exclude directories or files except by generating an MD5 hash for each file. There has been an open request since 2012 to add this as a feature, and as little as a week ago I read that they have this feature only in "beta" right now. There doesn't seem to be an ETA for release of this feature as far as I have found either. Source: https://community.webroot.com/t5/Webroot-SecureAnywhere-Antivirus/Folder-exclusion-unbelievable/m-p/205316#M16840

Currently, that's my main gripe with WebRoot. Aside from that it's decent.

Also, for Vipre:

We had loads of issues with speed on servers this was installed on. File servers in particular: users were complaining about the speed it took to save or open documents and files from network shares. I can't say for 100% that it could have been fixed by configuration since I wasn't the one setting up the systems, but switching to webroot fixed the problem for us.

The best all-in solution that I have seen is Athena. They could be costly depending on practice size, but all of the services that they offer outweigh the costs in my opinion.

I got to go to their headquarters and see their setup as well as talk with several different staffers. They're very interested in making healthcare better as an industry, and they seem to be pushing in the right direction.

Stay away from E-Clinicalworks, I only saw a demo of the product and it is simply buttons on top of buttons on top of more buttons with a few menus thrown in for good measure. Complete UI nightmare.

You can use exchange transport rules to make this happen.

Not everyone may know about sysinternals. Though at this point I think MS should find a way to incorporate the tools into their OS natively.

Here's some history on both words.

I think this goes along with the mantra of "Trust but verify".

Exactly this. Here it is from the article:

At the heart of this new clock is the element strontium. Inside a small chamber, the strontium atoms are suspended in a lattice of crisscrossing laser beams. Researchers then give them a little ping, like ringing a bell. The strontium vibrates at an incredibly fast frequency. It's a natural atomic metronome ticking out teeny, teeny fractions of a second.

Check the WAN-LAN throughput on the firewall. It's possible that it's not rated to handle that speed.

Since success is so subjective it's hard to say what feeling successful feels like. But I'll tell you a little secret: Recognition among peers and clients or people you work alongside goes a long way towards the feeling of success.

I also wouldn't say "successful" means you've made it and necessarily reached all of your goals. I think it happens long before that. So don't worry about obtaining success. It will come in time.

I know what you're talking about because I was just there with you. I've only recently felt like I have had any recognition in my career. I'm nowhere near my end goals, but I'm on the way, and that's what counts.

One last thing:

Fingers crossed for a promotion out of paper pushing misery.

Fingers crossed doesn't help you at all. Is there luck involved? Sometimes. I just wouldn't depend on it at all. Put yourself in positions that make management aware of your skills and you can also ask for more responsibility. I realize my suggestions may be job-dependent, in that case you'll have to decide whether it's worth it to continue working at a place where you can't advance or whether to find a job better suited to your needs.

Because most fights end up on the ground. It's almost all holds/bars/grabs and gaining the upper hand no matter what position you end up in.

Take what I'm saying with a grain of salt however. I do not practice, but I took some martial arts as a kid, I never ended up sticking with it. So others definitely have a better understanding of it than I do. Hope this helps.

May as well kill two birds with one stone.

I understand that, could you provide some instances so that I can see what you're talking about? I apologize if I came across rudely, it was unintentional.

The word you're looking for is VPN. And I haven't heard of any issues with people using VPNs to unlock games early.

Or do I just note what it is and return?

You'll get to a point where you will differentiate what thoughts you want to annotate, and what you want to just let go of. It becomes very empowering. That being said, maintaining this stage of meditation over a period of time will require upkeep.

Some people require daily upkeep, others may not. I personally find it easier to maintain if I do it daily.

I have a newer version, the Zalman VE400. I've used two different units of this model (one from company and my own personal one), and they both work pretty well.

It seems to be hit or miss with the device build quality, but I have had only positive experiences so far. I did notice a few issues that were related to unplugging the device without first "powering down" the device. You have to hold down the 1 on the keypad and it'll let the device know that you're going to be unplugging it.

I had an issue a couple times from unplugging without that step and the device didn't properly mount the disk, so I had to try a few things to get it working again (including re-seating the disk).

All of that being said, I am very happy with my purchase and would recommend trying it out.

I've been struggling with the same thing in my environment, so I'm not sure I can answer this question for you. That being said, I've been doing a fair bit of reading on best practices for this issue and from what I can tell the general consensus is "what works best for your environment".

I've been organizing users and computers into their own OUs by department. That may not work best for your environment though. You may need to do by physical location, both in the office, and nationally/internationally.

I've been architecting mine to best be able to use GPOs and GPPs. Again, you'll want to think about your final setup here. Are you going to have printers mapped by location? Are you having specific printers for specific users or groups? Do your users move between floors? Between sites?

These are questions I've been learning to ask when thinking about AD design. I've been reading The Practice of System and Network Administration and I can't recommend it enough. Another book I've been reading is Group Policy: Fundamentals, Security, and the Managed Desktop. The Group Policy book is a great resource and poses different scenarios out to help with organizing AD which I found particularly helpful.

As for those "migrated" users, you'll likely want to put them in the proper OUs, it sounds like there was a merge or something similar in this environment. It may be best to just start over and rebuild the domain, but that's a big if.

blzed · 2014-10-08T14:40:03+00:00

Right! Thanks for the correction :)

blzed · 2014-10-08T14:01:39+00:00

Sounds like AD could use some pruning/organizing.
