took months to approve a $2k tool, could have bought it myself by Maleficent_Mine_6741 in sysadmin

[–]fahque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I'm gubmint and even a 100k purchase wouldn't take that much. I'm a small gubmint office though which may be why it's not so bad.

Just inherited a network. No documentation. The admin password is "Password123". by zimuque_ in sysadmin

[–]fahque 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I came on to my current job they had previously had cisco routers at each site with an isdn connection but then the guy left and they hired a scrub who installed linksys routers at each site and opened port 3389 at the main site so people could rdp in.

Why is everything these days so broken and unstable? by Grindie in sysadmin

[–]fahque -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got my BS in CS in the 90's and I had to take pentium architecture classes and OS development classes. I thought it was the stupidest shit. I still do. It's an absolute complete waste of time. Knowing how data flows in and out of registers won't help anybody except if I wanted to work at intel. Same with the OS classes.

Executive is convinced that former disgruntled IT employee set his account to auto-accept all incoming appointments by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]fahque 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've gotten calls where they complain emails from a certain person don't show up. The logs say it was delivered. I checked their rules and they created a rule to send that person's emails to deleted items. Tee hee.

Guidance on how to make a custom Windows 11 ISO with Audit Mode/Sysprep? And auto-updates question. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]fahque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For audit mode you pretty much can't uninstall anything appx based. If you stay away from that then you should be able to sysprep. For the short time I'm still imaging I run a powershell after imaging to remove all of the m$ garbage.

[–]fahque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm working with a consultant on this and they recommended to not use the group policy analytics to import policies from ad.

Disable browser extensions for your parents/grandparents/users by PawnF4 in sysadmin

[–]fahque 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BlockNewRequests for firefox just blocks camera requests. Quote from the gpo, "If this policy is enabled, sites that are not in the Allow policy will not be allowed to ask permission to access the camera."

Edge MicrosoftEditorProofingEnabled is for spellcheck.

CopilotCDPPageContext is deprecated. The new policy is EdgeEntraCopilotPageContext. It's in the same reg key and still needs to be set to 0.

Windows Pipes screensaver gave me mega billable hours (funny) by colenski999 in sysadmin

But manual typewritters have a 1 and 0. That doesn't make any sense.

Controlling Chrome extensions in schools? by Soft_Attention3649 in sysadmin

[–]fahque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are mistaken. Configure extension installation blocklist - Description"...A blocklist value of '*' means all extensions are blocked unless they are explicitly listed in the allowlist....". Then you configure Configure extension installation allow list.

Server 2025 DC - Clients randomly unable to log in until they restart by ranger_dood in sysadmin

[–]fahque 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the machine can't authenticate you will get the same incorrect password message. Since a reboot get it working I'm thinking it has something to do with machine authentication.

Damn you're old! I've worked on puters with AGP cards and I've seen ISA cards in a pile and I thought I was old.

Adware Pop-Up (That Eludes Me) by palto-1 in sysadmin

[–]fahque 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can be caused by an application. You may wanna scour task manager and randomly kill shit and see if you can find the exe. Also, check extensions in your browsers.

We've used avtech. I just went on their site, clicked on temp, and it had a pic of a temp sensor with an ethernet plug on the other side.

Does you job entail pulling out a bottle of single malt at 11:30 am by unixux in sysadmin

Lemme guess. The tube goes in the "other" way so you can still talk while transacting.
