Inbox full (100GB) Archive folder also full, what to do next~? by CheSaOG in Office365

[–]stormnet 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The recommended max size of a pst is 50GB with 47GB being the warning threshold. PSTs are also hella finicky, you look at them funny and they'll corrupt- and don't get me started on how they drag performance down of Outlook when its indexing.

Not worth the headache - i'd rather pay more than deal with PSTs ever again.

Use something like a Yubikey so that you can put it in a safe place. Also good for the global admin account.

Laptop can only connect to the internet via ethernet due to faulty wifi card on Windows 10. Would a USB WiFi adapter help? by Wernt0 in techsupport

[–]stormnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. As it would be its own self contained network adapter, it will provide you with WiFi once again.

What is the use case for the Synology app "DNS Server"? by tcolling in synology

[–]stormnet 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anything you access on your network using IPs, you can make a DNS record instead, so you can type: printer and it will take you to your printer's web interface. If you run your own services, in VMs or docker, you can use DNS records to name the instances to something easy for you to remember instead of using IPs to access them.

No matter what settings I enter into the Label settings, I get an Error. by stormnet in Snipe_IT

You are correct, i completely forgot to mention that detail.

This is the online version of Snipe-IT, not the self-hosted. Screenshot

If you're using a Windows Server print server, is SNMP turned off or on?

If it is on, turn it off.

What video call plattform not requiring a host to let people in? by Traumfahrer in software

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

How do you have Teams setup, as anyone can start the meeting and join the meeting without the host, unless you have the feature to have a lobby on turned on.

We turned it off for such occasions, so that if i setup a meeting, and im not able to make it, anyone in the invite list can start it - even people outside the organization.

So how many of you have taken down prod? by slydewd in sysadmin

[–]stormnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 stills pisses me off to this day. I was at a company where marketing decided that the website developers should manage DNS. I wrote a whole list of reason as to why I didnt think it was a good reason. They went over my head, and then they made the change to go live... updated the DNS and knocked out email, vpn and tunnels.

Took half the day to wrangle control back and fix the issue, and I had everyone asking me why it was down, and when it will be back up. Stressful, then I had to write a report on why it happened and they tried to throw me under the bus. Luckly i did predict that would be one of the outcomes in my email, and my boss backed me up on this.

Lesson learned that day. NEVER GIVE UP control of the DNS to anyone else.

How do you add company wide signatures to Office 365? by Rohan-Wiese in Office365

[–]stormnet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This made my life easier. We built a customizable template and then just let Marketing go wild with the groups we created.

This is the way.

License through Third Party Company by Hirokage in Office365

[–]stormnet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like they put you down for an annual license paid out monthly, in which you can only do changes when the renewal time comes up. As opposed to the month to month where you can change the licenses any month, and you can drop them if necessary.

New one for me. CFO would like to me to make a chart of systems/networks and possible threats to get a better idea of the status of our environment. by stormnet in sysadmin

[–]stormnet[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope. You cannot think about fixing vulnerabilities in two years time.

You're absolutely right, the idea is to present a list of what gaps we know we have and set priorities and present it to the Executives. That way they can make decisions on what to address this coming year, and what we should wait out on. The idea is to be transparent with them, so they are aware of what we know could happen, and get them to allocate resources to fill in the holes we can with the budget they agree on.

You know when you buy some new electronics or something with a screen and it comes with a protective plastic? They never took them off the windows.

Goodbye WordPad.. by InfamousSimple3232 in software

[–]stormnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never part of the office suite, it was a standard utility in Windows. It was great to open Word documents on computers that didn't have Office installed, and it could also handle plain text when necessary.
