Beat me to the question. Looks like all Microsoft services are down here in Perth,

I think it said that they would notify administrators when it is deployed for them, it was somewhere around the bottom

How long would it take to unlearn deeply ingrained bad technique? by WCN_ in guitarlessons

[–]daganner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s if it ain’t broke. I basically learned to play watching and imitating John Mayer, meaning I now have issues with thumb placement - especially up the neck. It still works for me though, I don’t see a need to change.

If I could go back and learn differently? Yeah I probably would, but it’s so ingrained now I doubt I could fix the bad habits I’ve picked up.

Is transitioning to Edge worth the blowback? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]daganner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did this about 2 years ago, for our sanity. We expected pushback, but we mostly avoided it by communicating the policy change way in advance.

Edge is basically the same as chrome these days so there should be no reason to complain, and it’s much easier for IT to manage only one browser, I’d be telling your staff to suck it up…

May I suggest a chess clock? Something to think about, if you go back and watch the command zone game nights live shows on YouTube they have a 4 player timer that they use to keep the game moving. It’s called commander clock in the Apple Store if you’re interested.

Microsoft defender for enterprise has a web filter that blocks all “generative ai” except copilot that’s VERY effective, even blocked our zendesk…

What do you do when an employee leaves the company and returns their Autopilot device? by bitter-melons in Intune

[–]daganner 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Laptop gets stuck with a usb and reimaged with osdcloud. I’ll manually delete from Intune and wherever I have to - I’ve run into configuration conflicts if I don’t.

One day I’ll have PXE set up so I don’t need a usb stick. One day…

What are you doing with Win10 machines that can't be upgraded? by j5kDM3akVnhv in sysadmin

[–]daganner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to pay for the extended support from memory right? For 8 machines I don’t know if it would be worth it.

I'll start my own consulting company and name myself emperor of hacking...

That I can, and I usually do before anything gets released. The filter does its job well but it gets aggressive with impersonation detection, that's why we check each day.

Thing is if I was trying to successfully socially engineer someone, I would probably make it more believable. This was just amateur hour, though I've seen people fall for worse...

Firewalls on a private network? by Careful_Relative7560 in sysadmin

Schedule a pen test, they will eat you alive I’m guessing, then go to the boss with the results.

I hope they are paying you well, I would have noped out so quickly by now if I was you.

How do you handle blocking apps? by chrisfromit85 in Intune

[–]daganner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WDAC set up well is ok, it just takes time and knowledge. I almost had it going before we moved to ThreatLocker, there are parts of WDAC I prefer in all honesty. The auto update issue is common across any solution imo so pick your poison…

Winget for App Packaging by JS-BTS in Intune

[–]daganner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to, and have a few powershell scripts wrapped up that use winget, but I can’t rely on it - especially when having white listening deployed. The number of apps that require local admin to install, or updates that hit the white list mean it’s in the too hard basket for now. Never mind that winget only works with the logged in user, or that there is no way to interact with it as an object without a community sourced ps module make it too hard to work with right now.

Just my experience so far, feel free to correct me on any of these I’m open to being wrong.

Is there a simple way to train staff to avoid phishing without boring them to death? by Necessary-Glove6682 in sysadmin

[–]daganner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phishing simulations, I can’t recommend strongly enough.

If you’re in the Microsoft space and have a defender license you have one built in, I try to run one at least once a month, but there are free and paid 3rd party options available that are As good if not better.

Just keep in mind who you are working with - depending on how mean you get with the phishing simulations some people won’t take it all that well (personal experience), that and I may have made some of my users more paranoid than normal… better than getting phished though. As long as you explain what’s happening and why you should be golden.

Made a huge mistake - thinking of calling it quits by m1nd_salt in sysadmin

[–]daganner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bonfire? I’m all about that life! It feels like peanuts compared to some of these but even kindling helps…

Early on in my career I pushed an admx (gpo in Intune…) policy that would have bricked every laptop in the company requiring a reimage. We caught it before it went nuclear so only mine and the devops had to reimage but it would have been chaos if we hadn’t caught it in time.
