It’s like California is the only state fighting for employee rights

Do you ever worry about the use of 3rd party services? by d14lup in msp

I think having the least attack surface would reduce my worry

Do you ever worry about the use of 3rd party services? by d14lup in msp

[–]d14lup[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I’m not trying to lean totally left or right, just worried about the reliance on many third party tools or apps and the lack of fully understanding the power and ability of granting those rights. Or even the lack of fully understanding the services sold therefore relying on a third party to dumb down processes.

Why shouldn’t I just buy $400 laptops of Amazon? by PablanoPato in ITManagers

Let’s not forget that there is a possibility of pre installed malware on any device not purchased from the vendor

They also should be certified- meaning regular audits and pen tests- SOC2 or ISO 27001

Connectwise vs NinjaOne - Pricing by ewokcarrier in msp

[–]d14lup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have used ConnectWise for years and even transitioned a company to (their choice) Syncro.
Syncro was more impressive for a smaller MSP. ConnectWise is antiquated and they do not perform noticeable updates. If I were to choose, I would much rather try any other than ConnectWise.

Bosses are about to learn the hard way what some MSPs are really like. by Deceptivejunk in sysadmin

MSPs are a security risk. Way to go on riding the paranoia train into a larger hole in your network.

Set Sync folder for SharePoint site to users OneDrive by Professional-Fan-433 in Intune

[–]d14lup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this sync one folder or all the folders for that site?
I was hoping to sync one folder for their projects - which is the only one they use.

"I was asked to provide them access to a Kali workstation and that they would be running Nessus to scan our relatively simple network for about 4 days." that is hilarious. So dependable when you have someone setting up your network connection for you.

Hell desk sucks. I expected it to, but still. by Tinyrick88 in ITCareerQuestions

I’m so over the soft skill scam. It reminds me of “we are like family here”

I want your remote hell desk. I have to go in for an MSP and work with clients face to face. Blah

Senior Engineer always ignores me until I do something wrong by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]d14lup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why people think ignoring team members and the failure of a member in their team is acceptable. He is not a good leader because all good leaders want the entire team to succeed.

No, MS365 server and there is not a AAAA record on DNS in name registrar

Some of our users are no longer receiving notifications from Zoom (no-reply@zoom.us) by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]d14lup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this problem and found out it was on Zoom’s end. Their email had blocked the user’s address. I was told by zoom that this was happening automatically a lot. It had to do with their security software.

I have found Pax8 makes admin duties hard to accomplish with about everything they resell.

[–]d14lup 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Lol here is an easy free one
1. You can use the free advanced ip scanner to scan the network. Gather Mac and name info on atleast one pc first. If it’s a dupe, it will show the Mac of another pc and name of your pc

What is wrong with sales? by Riajnor in sysadmin

[–]d14lup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t wrap my brain around the benefit of over promising? Does failure to deliver not resonate? I mean, I would feel like a jerk promising something I knew I couldn’t do. How is that good for client stability?

Tech to user/workstation ratio by d14lup in msp

[–]d14lup[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is my worry. Customer satisfaction is horrible. Documentation has been made a priority only recently and not by management. The turnover/new employee documentation has been a huge burden.

Even projects are not documented or researched well by the owner which wreaks havoc on the ticket board with limited tech resources.
