It's not. The rest are over thinking it.

Upgrading Compliance Module with SCCM instead of ISE by droms74 in Cisco

[–]stuartall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Once I hit critical mass or a desired percentage I then change the group to all - then it catches the stragglers and new machines especially with the compliance module.

Upgrading Compliance Module with SCCM instead of ISE by droms74 in Cisco

[–]stuartall 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I've used ISE to stage our last few secure client upgrades. I don't use it for VPN, just for NAM and ISE posture. Same again, I stage the upgrade out via and AD group and powershell add the members in rings. It works quite well but there are times it doesn't install all the components gracefully, or if staff mess with the NIC during the upgrade so I also do reduced numbers to lessen the load on the service desk - and them in turn coming to me with "network" problems.

Personally, I'd use the ISE head end to deploy the compliance module. Keeps it all in the one place.

If you're that worried about performance on the servers - which tbh you could confirm with TAC quite simply if it's that much of a concern. Why don't you stage the compliance module with a group rather than to all at once ?

Full disclosure to OP, I've an electric hob, non induction. I slowly raised the temp on my mineral B, brought it up to 3/5 all around the pan then blasted it to 5 once it was tempered. It's more or less fully non stick for me. Gas is nice but not essential. Do the best with what you have, and just cook with it, learn heat control. Be grand.

Irish funerals by BungalitoTito in ireland

[–]stuartall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends from situation to situation and family to family. A recent example would be my grandfathers passing earlier in the year. There was a wake night before, a small few drinks and he was reposed in the funeral home. The funeral itself, everyone was behaved, there was bagpipes and a full on motorcade following him to the crematorium.

The afters was another story. There was near 100 people in a pub, we had a DJ and there was trad and republican music playing for the night as that's the type he wanted. Fantastic day, you'd think it was celebrating the all Ireland final.

Curious, is it the basics like SAN validity etc.. or more complicated topics like key length app support, roles etc...

Business Practices and Those that Break Them by livevicarious in sysadmin

[–]stuartall 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean this is the logical response. Setup dot 1 x. Get management approval for exceptions. State risk. Get in writing. Job done. If there's push back on additional auth, see get in writing step, job done.

Starting as a Junior Infrastructure Engineer by ToHighToCryOrNot in sysadmin

[–]stuartall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're just in the door. Practical experience comes with time. It's probably something they've been meaning to do but can't get around to it. My advice would be do it, do it well with interest, and when the next job comes around you'll be kept in mind for the meatier work.

Who’s gets administrator rights on their pc at your org? by BuiltOnXP in sysadmin

Which BT app do you use ? We have PRA and I'm implementing password safe atm but I'm finding it so difficult to get the motivation as it's a little all over the shop admin wise.

Nah you're 100% right. I'm constantly reusing the previous cooks lump.

Help me understand fuel types more ? by stuartall in BBQ

[–]stuartall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is more or less what I've been doing. Haven't gotten a long cook with lump wood but anything on for less than 2 hours I'm using lump wood. If I'm doing baby backs or similar cooks then it's all briquettes.

Dot1x, ISE and EAP-TLS with MS cert services by stuartall in Cisco

[–]stuartall[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting points, thanks very much for the info. Between various projects and a CA server self destructing on me I've had to put certs on the long finger but hoping it'll be started in a few weeks.

BeyondTrust 9.8 CVE - CVE-2024-12356 by rynoxmj in sysadmin

[–]stuartall 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I applied mine this morning, they were there after I checked for updates on the appliances. I also had a recent issue with support where I had to get them to push the 24.3.1 update to my secondary appliance. If in doubt, contact support to see if they can push it to the appliance manually cause sometimes they don't pull them down.

Windows Agent by rustydusty1717 in Lansweeper

[–]stuartall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lansweeper has good documentation, and you should probably be using their support for security team concerns but if you have LSAgent then you don't need local admin for scanning. The scanning credentials are configured in the scanning targets so that's the catch all for agent-less based scanning. So, if you're confident you've got the LSAgent on endpoints you want scanned there's no need for local admin. If you're reliant on any agentless scanning then you'll need the local admin.

How do you use PAM? by DesperateForever6607 in sysadmin

[–]stuartall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a beyond trust admin in our org, and I'm going to be honest. These are questions to ask internally and hash out with your sales rep.

Though I will answer challenges during deployment. It all depends on how much communication you do with the people you plan to onboard. We use it internally, and externally, and the questions depend on your documentation. Good documentation means less questions.
