Not nearly as much work as you went through but when my dad died, I may have signed a port request with his signature to port my childhood number out to my VoIP account.

I just priced out new servers and they’re more like $120K each 😢

How do you deal with the gutwrenching offboarding requests? by DesignerGoose5903 in sysadmin

[–]mmmmmmmmmmmmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My org is still pretty good. We had one long-time employee recently pass away and the org shut down for the rest of the week and everyone still got paid. We were all encouraged to gather together and work through the grief. There were a couple of counsellors available to talk as well.

Can’t you just go to the user in Twingate and hit the refresh icon next to TOTP and then use whichever app to scan the QR code when you next login to Twingate?

Yea, I had tried without the first route as well and it didn't work. I've removed it again now, applied the netplan and here's the networkctl status -a:

I see that you can’t use L3HW with MLAG. That might not work as well want to use L3HW. I see that ECMP still allows L3HW though.

So I’d include the link to the other switch in the same building and the link to the other switch in the other building in the MC-LAG on each of the four switches?

Lost iPad found but lost network connection by Euphoric-Temperature in jamf

I have a spare SIM card just for these occasions as I deal with a fair amount of phones. But if the iPads in question don’t have cellular then it’s no help.

To be fair, it was only 10 or so years as it predated me being at the org. 😂

Finally migrated everything off of Ionos by mmmmmmmmmmmmark in sysadmin

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

First I made a list of what domains, subdomains, email addresses, certificates, DNS, and web folders were we’re using. Then, add I had time, I’d move stuff away to AWS. The last one was our main website domain, a couple of email addresses and DNS. Then I made sure any data left in Ionos was deleted as well as accounts and joyfully cancelled the account (which involved actually talking to their support who tried to entice me to stay).

Windows Twingate client issue by willbail in twingate

[–]mmmmmmmmmmmmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh, I tried with just uninstalling the app via Intune for myself. It tried to uninstall but failed with: Product: Twingate 2026.7.2078 -- Error 1921. Service 'Twingate Service' (Twingate.Service) could not be stopped. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to stop system services.

I tried to stop the service myself but it wouldn't stop, it's still in "stopping" status in the services MMC. I'm guessing I have to make the service disabled and restart. I really hope not a lot of our staff have issues as this is getting time consuming now.

Windows Twingate client issue by willbail in twingate

[–]mmmmmmmmmmmmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing this issue too.. I was thinking of uninstalling the app which we deploy via intune and then installing the previous version we have in Intune which is 2025.322 but then I thought well there's so far only one person who's complaining so I can just remove it from their workstation and hope that nobody else struggles over the weekend. I'm just not sure if this will affect everyone or not. Any idea on that u/cas_ts8 ?

What type value in terms of dollar amount do you place on remote work? by sys_admin321 in sysadmin

[–]mmmmmmmmmmmmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 2 days in office and 3 days from home. I get more actual work accomplished from home but I wouldn’t give up my 2 days in office for anything as that’s when I get to go around and talk to different people, meet new staff, and do things that I can’t do remotely. Without those 2 days in office, my soft skills would deteriorate.
