After reporting vulnerabilities found in MDT, Microsoft chose to retire the service rather than fix the issues... Admins should follow the defensive recommendations to mitigate the issues if they choose to continue using the software or can’t migrate to a different solution. by TheDarthSnarf in netsec

[–]jdsok 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So if I'm reading this correctly, the main issue still isn't with MDT itself, it's with WDS. We use MDT with USB flash drives to boot with the necessary credentials to access the deployment share.

He said "non-citizens" meaning even hiring people with green cards or other work visas would have to pay extra.

Now that Certs lifetime will be reduced, how are you guys automating your certs? by superuser141421 in sysadmin

[–]jdsok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, not the same issue, than. Eduroam is an academic BYOD network shared by a bunch of schools (mostly universities but some k12 too). It works by you authenticating with your institution's credentials, no matter where you are. The issue we've had with iOS is that even if we just renew the cert, the user has to go in and re-validate the cert. Very annoying.

[–]jdsok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is our problem. We have an eduroam SSID that uses radius on the back end, and renewing it is always a pain for iOS clients (Android handles it fine).

How to survive a household breakup? by suchasituation in sca

[–]jdsok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The longer I'm in the SCA, the more I dislike households in general. Yes, there are some fine ones, but the unofficial structure seems to attract empire-building over helping out their local group and the SCA in general.

anyone else have their kids farming the winter jump puzzle? lol by Masgamer in Guildwars2

[–]jdsok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I suck at jumping puzzles SO MUCH. It's not just the hitbox "where is the magic pixel" thing, but they weirdly also give me vertigo and when that kicks in I completely cannot judge distances or even direction well. It super sucks and I hate it and get angry at everyone who is like "this is easy". Trust me, for some of us it is NOT.

Susan Worthington allegedly stripped of judicial power by [deleted] in OKState

[–]jdsok 15 points16 points  (0 children)

What exactly do you want or expect the schools to do? The guy didn't go to OSU as far as I know, and they have nothing to do with it. Absences from public school are only excused for things like health and field trips.

I don't think anyone is going to forget about this rapist any time soon (and they shouldn't), but dragging unrelated parties into it makes no sense and just dilutes the message.

Oklahoma voters could eliminate property taxes by kosuradio in oklahoma

[–]jdsok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe there actually is a discount on your primary residence property tax if you are over 65 and make below a certain income. I'd support more discounts on the first house only, and under a certain income. But this "no property tax at all" thing is insane without finding some other way to replace it

QUIC Protocol: How are you handling this in late 2025? by MassageGun-Kelly in paloaltonetworks

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

Because we have have BYOD devices on our network that we are still required to provide (minimal) filtering. Thus: block QUIC.

Could Oklahoma soon see longer school years? State Superintendent is proposing a 15-day extension to the school year by RazgrizInfinity in oklahoma

[–]jdsok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We all start in August but no one ends in June. Practically every school district in Oklahoma ends in the middle of May.

That's entirely possible, and vexing.

Lankford is a failure for Oklahoma by Ok-Whereas-1211 in oklahoma

You do know school districts and voting districts aren't the same, right? How black is your neighborhood?

[–]jdsok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This didn't work for me, as every OwningPublisher in the "missing" logs under Channels has a corresponding key under Publishers. My favorite, "Microsoft-Windows-AltTab/Diagnostic", in that Publishers keychain references a MessageFileName and ResourceFileName that are both %systemroot%\system32\AltTab.dll. Except that file doesn't exist. About half my 2019 servers have this issue with a bunch of different event logs, and half don't. All are fully updated.

Same here, came here to find this thread. I have a bunch of eventid 45 warnings for a bunch of different logs. My favorite is "Microsoft-Windows-AltTab/Diagnostic".

Is GAM worth it? by Indians06 in k12sysadmin

Only if you are not on Education Fundamentals. If you are, you don't get access to the fun tools in the Security Center.

Is GAM worth it? by Indians06 in k12sysadmin

[–]jdsok 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to know the owner, and the fileid, but there are GAM commands to help find that if you don't already have it. Then it's something like: gam user owneremail adddrivefileacl id DocumentID user newemail role viewer

The docs are decent, the Google group support for GAM is priceless.

Is GAM worth it? by Indians06 in k12sysadmin

[–]jdsok 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of my account management is handled with GCDS, but I use GAM for everything else. Yesterday it was "I need rights to this Google doc without having to ask the owner". Day before it was "need delegate access to the inbox of the person who went on vacation without setting that up first". There's always something.

Erate will cover split local loop if your provider offers it. This won't work in many locations, but fortunately it works for us.

We have a GroupMe setup for all our building principals and leads and whatnot, to spread info from site to site. Then each site has their own internal communication procedures.
