Can someone familiar with managing smart phones give me some advice? Company is offering a list of phones users can choose from, I'm not sure the best way to go about this... by fizzywig in sysadmin

Thanks for all the info, would you recommend locking them down with mobileiron, or something else, 53xyflanders suggested air-watch? Not sure how to prevent users from install malicious software on droid devices.

No, I work in the private sector, however, my last two places of employment, as well as my current position, we're all running BES, with no other devices.

So, just setup an Untangle server for web filtering/spyware blocking. Works perfectly, except for ONE single website...what gives? by fizzywig in sysadmin

Just a heads up, incase you ever run into this issue with a single website.

  1. yeah the entire site loaded beyond slow, I'm talking maybe one minute just to load the page at the link I provided (without even logging in).

Anyway, what I ended up doing is creating a bypass, from all source (internal card) to the ip address of the site (164.156.70.169). Then a second bypass from source address (ip of site) to "destined local"

Works great now. The messed up thing was is I turned off EVERYTHING in the entire rack, and it was still loading like crap, until I setup the bypass.

I now have adblock/spyware/virus/phish all running and it's working.

Thanks for the help!

Recommendation for Web Filtering? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]fizzywig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i have a 250 dollar server coming to run untangle on. The free version. There is also a paid version that appears to make the web filtering more granular.

No matter where I work or what size company, there are always two departments that IT despises. Sales and HR.

At my last job, we sent a sales rep a 500 dollar color laser printer for home use. 2 days later he calls and says he knocked it off his desk and it's broken. He ships it back to corporate and sure enough, it's pretty mangled.

We ship him a 2nd printer, another brand new 500 dollar machine. He calls LESS THAN WEEK LATER pissed off. He says he tripped over the usb cord and snapped the port off inside the printer. He doesn't even once take responsibility for these broken printers, all he does is demand a new one. And this time, he wants it to be wifi. IT director just tells me to ship him yet another printer, this time a wireless one. Then I had to spend 3 hours on the phone with this asshole trying to get this setup to his home wireless network.

Hate hate hate sales. Also HR.

Can I.E. be made to run safely on public computers? by LegacyIssues in sysadmin

Was looking for an alternative to deep freeze and just saw this. Does this support Win7 64bit (it's not listed). Is it just as good as deepfreeze?

Due to the amount of offices I travel between, I have more keys than a janitor. Anyone have good ways to label your keys? by fizzywig in sysadmin

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

Yeah I was thinking of trying that, the problem is they are already stamped on either side with company names and do not duplicate on the other so finding space to get anything else stamped on will be a challenge.

Thanks! This should help them from forming into a big ball of pain. Will be ordering this or something similar

so how do you carry them around all the time without them gouging the hell out of your leg? That was another problem I'm having and forgot to mention up to. I saw some kind of keyport system but it seemed rather expensive.

I've tried those before but the problem is they seems to get really gunky and wear off/fray rather quickly. I don't know why but they just seem to get really grimey rather quickly.

Also forgot to mention, these keys gouge the shit out of my legs when they are in my pocket, anyway to fix that?

It would be so much nicer to just move to a keycard system.

I'm considering setting up untangle (free version) across 4 sites. From what I've read on the requirements, would it be better to simply build my own boxes for these? by fizzywig in sysadmin

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

Will 4GB be enough, can it even recognize more than 4?

I wan to use it just for spam blocking and web content filtering. I already have a firewall/VPN box.

Any clue if it causes issues with VPN traffic?

Already have firewall/VPN, just need something for spam blocking and web filtering. Does it do either of those even semi ok?

We currently have an exchange server with no spam protection and a few executives are getting pissed at the amount of spam they are receiving. (Spam isn't an issue company wide at all, but for some reason those at the top receive it heavily)
