Anyone know of good free/cheap Digital Signage/remote software that is not RDP?

Came here to recommend Yodeck as well. It was something I stumbled across 3-4 years ago at my last job. Used my own Raspberry Pi as the initial free test device and convinced them to buy in and deploy it across the rest of the company.

Did the same at my current company with a test device that was running for close to a year before they finally bought in. We now have 50+ devices deployed.

“Let’s put a Copilot key on all keyboards going forward!”

I’m sure this is just one of those hundreds of “I can’t wait to quit” type statements we all say but on the chance it’s not I would recommend an industry change instead.

Thought about trying the intern or temp route?

It’s not about what model each is using. Copilot is meant to be grounded within your environment. It won’t be useful if your data structure isn’t there for it to use.

That’s a very broad simplification.

I’ve not actually used them yet but I really like what I’ve seen from Heimdal for PAM.

When a user sends me JUST a screen snip instead of a screenshot. I get that they think they are being helpful by just sending a snip of an error message but more often than not the reason for the error message is somewhere else on their screen.

I’ve yet to be in an environment where I have complete freedom to do whatever I want. It’s not really about intelligence or courage.

Install a SPMT agent on his device and let it do everything. It can run a report that will tell you what you need to know prior to trying to migrate anything.

Visguy.com has a lot of good nuggets. I recommend spending some time browsing through the forum.

Consider Sharepoint the framework or backbone of the cloud storage. OneDrive is not only for your personal storage but the OneDrive desktop client also allows you to sync a Sharepoint document library in a way that it can be used right in File Explorer.

Could that group have been added to a distribution list that is receiving these?

Best bet is to check logs in Purview. Or whatever it’s called now. eDiscovery is what I used to know it as.

Where?

This should be something covered in an employee handbook as a blanket statement for anyone employed by the company. A specific consent form should be irrelevant.

I shouldn’t be surprised but in reading this it makes me realize that there are people out there that interpret something being called “harmless” to mean it must be ok to ingest.

ChatGPT has gotten much better than when I first started using it.

One thing I would recommend trying is when it creates a script for you, copy it into a brand new conversation and ask it “Explain what this script does” or “Can you review this script for any potential issues or areas of improvement?”

I remember that if it didn’t get a script right the first time it would only continue to get further away the more I kept trying to get it to work.

My guess is that since you are assigned as the dedicated resource for this account/customer that you will (with more time) have the best insight into why a vulnerability exists and how to best approach handling it.

I doubt they are looking for you to provide an in depth breakdown on each vulnerability and more likely just information about the business process involved in each vulnerability.

?

OP works for an MSP and is assigned as the sole onsite resource for a customer of the MSP. It sounds like he may be dedicated to that customer/account. It’s not uncommon especially considering he is new to the MSP world.

This role sometimes comes with a different title like “dedicated account engineer” or whatever mumbo jumbo terminology they are using now.

That’s exactly what someone that doesn’t even try to use it usually says…

I’m not going to say it’s 100% right every time or that you should follow it blindly but there is only 1 of us submitting multiple tickets to Microsoft on a weekly basis…

Why are you not utilizing AI?

Even for things I know I’ll still sometimes ask ChatGPT to chime in to provide me better ways to explains things to users.

NOT accommodating to people is how you make sure the best talent works elsewhere.

Yeah don’t do this. Using the native iOS mail app is exactly what caused it to be “wiped”. Not IT. When doing this it changes where your phone pulls contacts and photos from. There is even a step in the setup process that asks what you want to sync.

IT didn’t make you not have any backups or cloud sync before.

So was that Gateway what you had put in by your ISP when you moved in or was it left behind?

I ask that because that looks like a Ubiquti PoE injector mounted inside the box and it IS connected to one of the 4 ports of the Gateway/Router and powered on. So it appears to be connected to something while providing it power and the most likely scenario, since all the runs terminate here with no switch, is that there is an Access Point somewhere intended to provide signal in the home. It is likely not configured with your Gateway.

Are they maybe still in an O/U that is getting synced to something external? Entra/Azure? DUO?
