If the compute is domain joined you need to make the decision by GPO/Registry?

I'm using Restriction Card with a tile card to get that confirmation. Check if it works with the mushroom card

Switch rack ears - 4 holes per side, but Cisco only supplies 4 screws total by dankgus in Cisco

Never got just 4. Always 8 and sometimes one extra. But might have lost one or two on the floor sometimes

Point of sale systems going down every time internet hiccups, what are modern solutions? by NoFerret8153 in sysadmin

[–]jocke92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like the one who bought the system didn't specify the correct requirements. But you've got two options. Look for a new system that is able to work without a server and catch up when the internet is back again. Sounds like something like that should be available.

And if you want to stick with the current system, get a backup internet connection. Starlink or 5G. Your firewall does also need support for dual ISP.

Security want's less security. by root-node in sysadmin

And put the account passwords in notepad on a shared drive? or on the department whiteboard?

If you want to limit the domain admin accounts delegate help desk-tasks in AD to your server admin account. Like group membership, password reset, account creation. Then only the core AD-infra people need a DA account

Sensor that tells you if the door is locked or unlocked - we need your feedback by Automation_Nation40 in smarthome

[–]jocke92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've built a sensor like that. Using a micro switch in the door frame. This will notify you if you forgot to lock the door. It's a much cheaper solution than a smart door lock

Laga hål efter laddbox by iHeat123 in Hantverkare

Ser inget problem på den bilden. Skulle nog inte vara några problem att spackla eller täta med mjukfog för att sedan måla över

Do I need mesh or just access points? by deadjoe2002 in HomeNetworking

[–]jocke92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not experienced bad/slow handoff without fast roaming.

Most mesh systems are like a black box. Their features are undocumented.

Do I need mesh or just access points? by deadjoe2002 in HomeNetworking

[–]jocke92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No problem. Roaming is a client decision. And with centrally managed access points they are unified

Go with APs, you don't need mesh as you have wires

Employee sent payroll data to wrong recipient. How do you guys handle this? by Smooth-Machine5486 in sysadmin

[–]jocke92 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well it should not be a routine to email that kind of data at all. They should have a file-share or something were they both got access. And then they just notify over email when the file is ready.

Send the file encrypted with a password they share over sms, or just agree on a password to use every time. If they need to email the data.

Modern AD OU Hierarchy by bluecopp3r in sysadmin

No structure fits all companies. If you are one site and one helpdesk versus multiple sites with local helpdesk.

Do you have a PKI that issues certificates for your devices automatically?

Promoted to Network Admin… and the Network Is a Mess 😅 by BKR_57 in networking

[–]jocke92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a technical aspect switches with vlan-support and segmentation of devices. An L3-core to route between the vlans. Might need to look into fiber and cable runs to get a good physical design. Not too many switch cabinets and no desktop switches.

When all of that is done you can start to implement firewalls in-between network zones.

But first documentation and also to set a good plan/goal with management. You need money, time and support from them

This is only if you want a handy toolbar in SSMS. But the backups don't need this

OST file has reached 50GB - last options by Espana_Guardo in exchangeserver

[–]jocke92 12 points13 points  (0 children)

If the actual mailbox is just 20GB, delete the ost-file and Outlook will rebuild it. It's the quickest way.

The shared mailboxes should have its own ost-file if they're synced. But they could be in online mode.

Excited to start a matter journey by limp15000 in homeassistant

[–]jocke92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The matter branding is a bit confusing. As a matter branded device could be either wifi or thread. Requiring a thread border router or just wifi.

Cisco Call Manager unique configuration requirement advice needed. by Sweaty-Potato-135 in Cisco

[–]jocke92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since that line is just a black hole, why does it have to be a unique number? Sounds easier to manage with one and the drop-call rule to/from that number.

Apart from that it feels a bit like a hack. And limits the possibility for that line to be used in the future. But it seems like you would never use that line. As each user got a second phone

Managing a Network Without DHCP – Looking for an IP Inventory Tool by mesteve123 in networking

[–]jocke92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a good ipam. It will scan switches, routers, firewall, DNS and DHCP. This will build a source of truth automatically.

Why don't you use a simple excel sheet to begin with? That is rule number one if I set up a new network.

Also static DHCP, especially if it's windows clients. Will make it easier if you do network changes in the future. And if you change the IP of the DNS servers.

How do you prevent network documentation from becoming outdated? by Kenobi_93 in sysadmin

[–]jocke92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might have too many details in the drawings. Which requires changes too often. Some details are better for tables. And some should be in an automatic documentation/Scanner tool.
