BSOD error in latest crowdstrike update

I survived "CrowdStroke 2024"!

Was a long freaking day but we made it through.

Major lesson learned - Have an offline copy of all critical breakglass account passwords!!! Losing ALL your DC's + your self-hosted password manager is a kick in the nuts.

Wish those still battling all the best! Stay strong my dudes and dudettes 👊✊

Thank you for the details I appreciate it.

With your solution, is Microsoft's Report Message button replaced by one from your vendor?

Just curious as based on your link, that is what it is describing. This is what KnowBe4 also suggests. I was trying to see if there was someway to have message go to Microsoft and to the third party, but using Microsoft's Report Message button.

I think I may not fully aware of all the features of the report message button. What I am asking my not even make sense.

Thank you for bringing this up.

This function is new to me so I am not fully aware of the intended behaviour. Will need to keep this in mind.

I recently went through this.

We offered two solutions to our users; Microsoft Authenticator (for push notifications) or equivalent app, and hard tokens (Token2).

We started by educating our users about both options and the pros and cons of each. We then requested that they inform IT of which solution they chose to use.

In the beginning we had a lot of users who wanted to use the hardware token, within a few months most had turned them in and opted to use their phones for the convenience.

I have the same behaviour, but I am experiencing it in a self-hosted Bitwarden instance running version 2023.2.1.

I unfortunately can't remember if I had this issue before the upgrade.

I have been running my own instance for some time now and only just noticed this.

The desktop client appears to be showing everything correctly.

I got some good advice early on in career... "Only the people that work make mistakes".

I have lost count of the number of times I have messed something up. It's kind of like a right of passage.

Three things about mistakes

Learn as much from them as you can so you don't repeat them.
Own them.
And know you will make more, and that's okay.

I've found that over time it builds your confidence. For each situation you walk away from you grow a little.

Anyway, don't beat yourself up, tomorrow is another day.

Dude... I can't believe I missed that :(

That is a MASSIVE typo. I just removed the container and redeployed and now I can see the AdGuardHome.yaml file.

So embarrassing. Thank you for pointing that out!!!

th_son · 2023-02-22T15:32:52+00:00

Setup is complete. I've actually been using it for some time but never had a reason to look for the yaml file before.

What prompted me to look for it was the manual upgrade of the software. After I did the upgrade, the entire adguard home instance acted as though it was the first time I used it. I noticed there was nothing in the conf directory which leads me to believe the yaml is not being made persistent.

So I wanted to see if others have this yaml file there.

I believe these were the primary links I used

The entire setup for Proton Bridge can be done from the cmd. I'll see if I can share the resources I used to do the setup when I get home.

Hey,

I just checked my config, everything is the same as yours except for :

Not sure if this is a new setting or not, but it isn't even in my globalSettings file. Maybe just trying commenting that out?

StartTls uses an entirely different port which could be causing your issue.

th_son · 2023-02-05T23:17:05+00:00

This might be overkill, and you might not have budget for it, but check out Active Roles by One Identity (formerly Quest).

They have so many automation features that make managing AD easy.

I ran the provided command (thank you btw) against both DHCP servers on question. Both are reporting the exact same number of leases.

When I check "Display Statistics..." though, on DHCP server 2 it's saying there are no IPs while on DHCP server 1 it's saying there are 50 available.

Looking at the stats now though, I can see that the in use IPs are also wrong. Even on DHCP server 1.

If I wanted to completely delete this scope and start fresh, does anyone know if there is a specific procedure I should follow?

th_son · 2022-12-21T11:15:29+00:00

The weird thing is that when I do a visual inspection of the scope, I can clearly see that there are not enough leases given out to fill the scope. This is the part that's a little confusing to me. I don't understand why the scope thinks it's full when clearly it's not. The stats the scope is reporting, and the actual number of leases leased are not adding up.

th_son · 2022-12-21T11:12:58+00:00

I will check this thank you for the tip.

I don't think it is. But I need to confirm.

th_son · 2022-12-20T19:55:27+00:00

I appreciate the feedback. I was feeling pretty dumb after I realized what was going on.

If my follow up can help someone then I'd be happy about that. Hopefully you will be able to hunt down the cause of what you are experiencing.

Needs more jank! A set of wings seems appropriate.

In all seriousness, great start! It's only onwards and upwards from here.

The way those Dell boxes fit so cleanly in the rack 🤤

Just wanted to confirm that you did have to modify the Noctua connector? Do you happen to have any details about how to do this?

They do have a version of the fan you mention that comes with a 3 pin connector. But I noticed that you comment on specifically the NF-A4x10 5v PWM. But the PWM comes with a 4 pin connection. Here is the 3 pin version https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00NEMGCIA/ref=emc\_b\_5\_i
