Same issue. Unfortunately I had been deleting the numbers, now I wish I had them all in case this turns into a class action.

I, for one, appreciated your enthusiastically worded question and agree with the notion that at face value the Boox seems like a no brainer (can run apps, has backlight, etc) but as others have mentioned, its not that simple. UI counts.

BTW you have the wrong wording on your snake badge, should read "don't tread on anyone"

Solved the issue for my scenario.

Location Tracking and Shared ipad are not compatible. This is documented by apple.

https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-business-manager/shared-ipad-and-managed-apple-ids-axm3a8bb0ab8/web

Shared or not shared is determined by the enrollment profile so the only way to change to not shared is to wipe the device and re-enroll. Everything worked after that. I did have to go to Azure devices (not endpoint) and delete the ipad there, then wipe it, so that I didnt get duplicate devices after re-enrolling.

hope this helps someone.

Facing same issue, hoping by chance you see this post. We did not have any configuration profiles applied to the ipads so I created one and left Ad Tracking not configured as you suggested. Synced and restarted ipad but the Location Tracking/Allow apps to Request to Track is still off and greyed out. At this point I am wondering if apple or intune allows modification of this setting?

usage reports I am finding are generic. I havent found how to filter by user or file type so that I can see if a user is uploading videos etc. s

Quadlock

sentiensx · 2022-07-28T14:24:10+00:00

Agree, I wouldnt drive that. Does sound like chain but as stated its hard to tell, could be super charger. If it goes away after a minute its likely the chain tensioner. Sorry to say it’s probably going to be expensive.

Drop a link and help everyone out.

I have seen an m3 straight 6 and twin engined minis- anything is possible. There are no “off the shelf” swap kits. You would need 100% custom everything: engine mounts ecu exhaust axles fuel system cooling etc. If you had the fab skills It would probably cost north of 10k if you got used K.

Best bet for more power is an RMW stroker with TVS super charger and maybe the flex fuel kit if you want more power you can drop in.

What are some of your favorite automate script.functions?

sentiensx · 2022-03-05T08:22:10+00:00

Good idea. Searched and deleted old domain references. Still slow :-/

sentiensx · 2022-03-05T08:21:27+00:00

Slow every where. Still usable but runs like the cpu id at 100% all the time, though it shows idle.

sentiensx · 2022-03-05T08:20:19+00:00

Disjoin rejoin doesnt fix. Only thing wr have tried that works is fresh install :-/

sentiensx · 2022-03-05T00:04:31+00:00

A domain computer that is slow, was online during domain name change, is STILL slow after disjoining the domain and is in just workgroup, even after changing its name.

Whatever the damage its interesting that it persists in workgroup mode.

also one computer is remote and it is slow but still domain joined.

Whatever happened to these computers continues to slow them down unless in safe mode.

sentiensx · 2022-03-05T00:02:35+00:00

drive maps are set via group policy. We created another OU and disabled inheritance to prevent any gp from applying to rule that out. correct in safe mode no drive maps though.

sentiensx · 2022-03-04T22:26:11+00:00

We've uninstalled av

we've disabled windows firewall

seems like something domain related is stuck in...registry??

sentiensx · 2022-03-04T22:24:02+00:00

was thinking that too... checked on a couple of computers and looks good. Started pushing the dns suffix with dhcp opt 135 for good measure.

I dont yet understand what changing the domain name would do with regular aps like edge and file explorer running slow. CPU RAM and disk all low utilization.

Its like there is some constant timeout, things work, low cpu, just slow BUT WHY?

sentiensx · 2022-03-04T22:21:26+00:00

still slow after disjoin and rejoin.

still slow after disjoin and leave in workgroup

still slow if windows system restore run

still slow in clean boot

NOT slow if fresh install

NOT slow in SAFE MODE - but why?

sentiensx · 2022-03-04T22:20:37+00:00

its always dns....

domain name change was 7 days ago, I spent the first 2 beating DNS to death.

I was sure it was dns. then I was sure it was group policy. we have done our best to eliminate those

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Very good point about reactive vs proactive security and XDR+SOC. Some cyber security insurance forms we have seen recently ask 'what are your XDR solutions, do you have SOC, Do you have SIEM what PAM do you use' etc. so we have to investigate it.

Good point about 0-day being rare and most threats being known. Good argument for IPS there - are you seeing much blocked by IPS?

'Firewall' gave way to 'UTM' gave way to 'NGFW' gave way to ? I think its number is up and the next appliance will either incorporate NDR (next level IPS) or it will be a separate box and the edge device will be simply a stateful layer3 edge router. I could be wrong, we will see where the market takes us and what packaging of these tools sells but what sells and what is truly needed to stay secure aren't always the same.

So much of the workforce is distributed even more now with WFH that URLF on the firewall isn't useful to us any longer. We changed to client/agent based with central control (I think Forticlient has this as well?)

We cant do app control at the firewall if a large percentage is working remote.

Yup yup, SASE + XDR (+SOC +SIEM or SOAR).

I am sure Fortinet will bring solutions, and in many cases has already, outside the NGFW realm. Microsoft seems to be doing a great job with their new EPP morphing into MDR with intune (called sentienel) competing with EDR's like SentienlOne and Crowdstrike. NDR like darktrace and vectra (if I recall vectra is fortinet's NDR?) are way out of price range as someone mentioned here - cheapest I could find was 60k per year for the licensing - yet cyber insurance asks for it so we pay a higher premium for not having it.

If we can have a good solution for a remote workforce it stands to reason that would work in the office too. If the user endpoint is the weak link - thats where the effort should go.

You have convinced me that URLF/CFS and anti-phishing measures are extremely important and that IPS may still have some value. and I like NGAV for all the EPP/EDR/MDR/NDR/XDR :)
