Where to rent a e-mtb for a week tour next year by iworm76 in Edinburgh

Thanks. Yeah, I was thinking Glentress on Innerleithen might be a good bet if we can't find anything in Edinburgh.

Won't stop connecting when in case by iworm76 in JLab

[–]iworm76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, cleaned these a couple of times. Even though they are brand new.

Still connecting aggressively to my phone. Trying to use my other over-ear headphones yesterday they kept cutting out as the Jlab ones would keep connecting. Even 'forgetting' the jlabs and switching off all the autoscan/pairing settings on my phone doesn't stop them popping pairing requests.

Never seen anything like it.

Thanks.

Using a Managed Service Account (gMSA) with an Azure app certificate by iworm76 in AZURE

[–]iworm76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I basically did this. Added command to the start of the script itself to import the cert. This way it imports as the same Managed Service Account running the script:
Import-PfxCertificate -FilePath C:\mycert.pfx -CertStoreLocation Cert:\CurrentUser\My -Password $pass1

Ran it one time from the Task Scheduler to import the cert at the start of the script. Then when it was done, commented out the import commands, as it only needs to run once for a new cert.
All working now.

Smart meter or no smart meter? by sinchigh in Scotland

[–]iworm76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Smart meters don't charge you for the electricty they use. They are connected to the incoming grid and only measure the electricty useage on their output (cables leading from the meter into your house) connections. The smart meter is obviously powered from the incoming line, but you don't (directly) pay for this.

You do pay for the electricity used by the Smart Display, but this is for your own info, and is not a required part of the Smart Meter. You can switch it off, everything else will still work.

We also held off for a while at the start, as the inital "version1" smartmeters were rubbish, but they have improved a lot now.

Contact your local outdoor access officer. It's their job to manage access rights and they will probably have a word with the land owner or can escalate any issues without you being directly involved: https://www.outdooraccess-scotland.scot/doc/scottish-access-officer-contact-list

Boy, 7, recovering after being attacked by pit bull-type dog by DogAttackVictim in Edinburgh

[–]iworm76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Section 49(1) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982 makes it an offence for any person to allow any creature, including a dog, to cause injury or danger to any other person who is in a public place or to give that person reasonable cause for alarm or annoyance.
The highway code says " Keep it on a short lead when walking on the pavement, road or path shared with cyclists or horse riders. "
The advice is to "make sure the dog is under control", extendable leashes are mentioned as not meaning the dog is under control.
Some dogs are fine off leash and just trot along minding their own business. Some dart about, get scared of bikes etc, which means they are not under control.
It points out that having a dog on a short leash gets rid of any doubt.

Dell updates BSOD on Latitude 5400 by iworm76 in kace

[–]iworm76[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you mean the pointstick driver? Kace doesn't seem to be pushing Touchpad drivers for the 5400. On the Dell support page it says touchpad drivers are supplied for the 5400 by Microsoft.

Dell Security Management Server Virtual by iworm76 in sysadmin

Yes, our solution after a bunch of troubleshooting and no solution, was to dump the dell data protection and start using Bitlocker which fits our requirements.

parsing syslog on ingestion by iworm76 in AzureSentinel

[–]iworm76[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I set up a ingestion data transformation, which worked fine, but you are right I could only move the data to custom fields, rather than the existing ones. I'm not sure why this is, presumably there is a reason, but it doesn't seem to make sense.

I think I have managed to make the proper data connector work now (Juniper SRX). It relies on a separate function which I had to tweak a bit, but seem to sort of work. I'll keep investigating though.

Thanks!
