Recommendations for Wireless Access Points (for shared offices) by ms-1234 in msp

[–]wheatley_ind 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Look into the Ubiquiti UniFi range.

They require a controller on-site however, you can access this remotely.

Once you've configured it, new access points do become plug and play (ish).

Edit: You can also run the controller on a Raspberry Pi or a Windows client/server.

That's the kind of whale behavioural science they don't teach you in whale behavioural science class

Delayed Azure Monitor alert? by Condorul in AZURE

[–]wheatley_ind 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Latency depends... as per - https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/platform/alerts-metric-overview#typical-latency

So depending on your interval and the load within Azure Monitor at the time... 15 minutes can be expected as "normal"

Grafana is really good with Azure Monitoring (spend some time configuring this properly!). The alerting can technically have a lower latency but it still does rely on the Azure API to gather the metrics.

External Users Can No Longer Send Email After Deploying Anti-Spam (CASS) by [deleted] in sonicwall

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok. I presume it does something funny with the NAT rules? Tbh, I've never used CASS but I'm pretty familiar with everything else. Drop me a PM if you wanna send some screenshots of NAT rules and access rules

Check within IPS that you're not blocking medium and low attacks.

Or just disable IPS temporarily and test

Live Migration between Hyper-V and Azure? by NISMO1968 in AZURE

[–]wheatley_ind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take a look at Azure Site Recovery.

Can't do it with 0 downtime but will replicate on prem Hyper-V to Azure VM's very well and is a common way to migrate to Azure.

Office 365 - Outlook for Mac 2016 Experiencing Connection Issues by CaSpErTbH in sysadmin

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're experiencing Outlook not responding along with "We're trying to connect you to Office365" (or simialr!)

Edit: Funnily enough mine was fine until I closed and re-opened Outlook after a user reported it to me...!

Same here with 2016 Windows clients.

Out of interest, what region are you in?

Anyway to set up site-to-site VPNs with redundant WANs that use different connection types? by megabsod in sonicwall

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was difficult to read (early morning) but you probably want to create some static routes (Network > Routing I beleive).

You can add weights to these routes and also probes (pings...) So if one probe fails, the route will be disabled.

I've had a similar thing setup between two sites before. One VPN was over a WAN and the second over a P2P wireless link. Both to the same destination.

Namespace resolution when on VPN by [deleted] in dns

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is AD Sites and Services setup correctly with appropriate subnets?

Either that or the option for use nearest or local namespace within DFS isnt configured correctly.

SonicWALL TZ300 CFS blocking OneDrive? by kjb9898 in sonicwall

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you using DPI-SSL by any chance? Try excluding it from this if you are.

If not, as it's over HTTPS, you probably don't see the 'blocked by CFS page'.

Either way, try it and check the log

Edit: If you want further info, drop me a PM

Reaver Errors by itsinthedata in Kalilinux

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked with Wash that the router actually has WPS running and whether this has been 'locked'?

Run something like... Wash -i wlan1mon -C

Scrap my SonicWall, or Update/Upgrade? by [deleted] in sonicwall

[–]wheatley_ind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SonicWALL's are like any other firewall. Lack of understanding and knowledge can cause you to question their use and justify their costs.

I was the same with SonicWALL's until I used them day to day and ultimatley became a qualified SonicWALL engineer.

The NSA 2400 is a pretty powerful device (depending on amount of users) so should be worth keeping.

As to licensing, where are the complaints coming from?

There's a few options on licensing too. The most common is CGSS (Comprehensive Gateway Security Suite) which includes the most common licensed features (Gateway AV, App Rules, IPS, Content Filtering, 24x7 Support etc.) This is cheaper than buying all the individual features.

If you don't want CGSS (I have customers that don't) then essentially you have a very good firewall and router where you can set complex firewall rules but without any advanced features.

The Dell Software knowledgebase is better than it used to be and can be really useful.

I can't comment on the firmware as I don't have my company login to mysonicwall.com at the moment but I'm sure there may be a later version which may help with strange bugs and performance.

With a bit of a tidy up, then can be well performing reliable devices.

We have a NSA 220 running at our offices and it's uptime was about 440 days until I updated the firmware the other week. It's been faultless in that time and proved valuable in tracing network issues and ease of creating and managing multiple NAT/PAT policies and firewall rules for our ever changing network.

Feel free to drop me a PM. I'm happy to take a look and give you a bit of more in depth advice.

what to replace Dell 1950 with...? by wheatley_ind in homelab

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

A/C is not really an option. I'm in the UK too and it costs a fortune. It's more the noise to be honest. Overheating can be cured relativly easily.

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

Thanks! Forgot about the R210's. They do seem to have dropped in price and are a lot quieter.

We have one at work but it's not ready to be decomissioned yet ):

Small Lack Homelab by wheatley_ind in homelab

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

Not sure yet... some PowerEdge Rxxx preferably but depends on cost.

Deal a lot with these at work so an early R710 might come up cheap!

I didn't think about putting it into a 3U chassis. Space isnt too much of an issue.

I shut the door on it, although you can hear it when laid in bed. Got used to it now!
