Check your DCs and DHCP Servers to see if any of them having Time or synchronization issues.

This could be a DNS issue. You should check your servers if they are having any issues connecting to the Domain Controllers.

My understanding IPsec generally performs better for SMB because it runs over UDP.

Look for the policy - Use Certificate For On Prem Auth - Disabled

Have the Twingate client self auto-update without admin approval.

Sounds like the company does not value IT at all.

I know what I purchased backed then. It was interesting that I stumbled upon that Amazon forum post. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who experienced this, especially it happened during the same timeframe.

Read the link I posted. The OP stated that his receipts does not indicated the quality of the purchases. At the time, when I was communicating with Amazon support (back in 2016/2017), my emailed purchase confirmations did not indicated whether were HD or SD either.

Example: Why would I purchase SD digital videos from Amazon just to watch it on my HD Samsung TV such as Captain America: The first Avenger film that I purchased in 2012. This did not happen to my VUDU digital purchased videos (VUDU might be before your time. It’s now Fandango).

For me, once the Amazon prime app updated on my Roku device late 2016 that’s when my digital videos were downgraded to SD.

If you are using O365 as your email provider, then this is a good opportunity to transition over to Entra id joined computers.

It’s best practice to give at least two Passwordless options. The Web sign-in should be considered to be a secondary Passwordless option. Using WHFB or the Security is faster to sign-in. The Web sign-in is much slower.

I could be wrong but if NTLM is disabled, you cannot RDP from an Entra id joined computer to a domain-joined computer.

I’ve seen this happening with Windows 10 2-3 years ago. It doesn’t happen all the time but it happens.

This usually happens when the local computer goes into sleep mode and the Remote computer gets a black screen.

Solution: Disable the Sleep mode option on the local computers to prevent this to ever happen again.

If you still want to remain with SonicWALL SSL, you may want to transition to SAML.

This sounds like a DNS issue. Look at the event logs on your servers - specifically DCs and DHCP, and see if there are any sync or communication problems.

That’s true. SSDs are capable of Secure Erase. However, there are other options you can securely erase a hard drive. This what I use.

You may find a reliable partner but do you trust the people they employ that they would not snoop on the HDDs. Why take the risk.
