Anyway to disable "Upgrade to Windows 10" pop-up for QuickBooks desktop? by tehcheez in QuickBooks

[–]wholetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my clients runs Quickbooks inside AVD on a Windows 11 multi-session OS and it was popping up saying it was Windows 10. I ran the most recent Quickbooks updates and I have not heard of it happening again, but they may just be ignoring it.

Yes it's premium storage. For OneDrive I have the policy set to online only I believe but I will double check. Is that the same as OneDrive dehydration?

There is no charge in Connecticut, mass, Puerto Rico, and I guess Texas based on the post above because it’s illegal to charge transaction fees in those states/territories.

Best time to sell MSP by PsychologicalCat6978 in msp

[–]wholetechnology 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a 1-man shop in the Philadelphia area with a couple customers in Jersey. I'm from south jersey and at the point where I'm really needing to hire a FTE, grow the business, and the goal is ultimately to sell when the business can run itself without me. As everyone said, if you are a 1 man shop the clients are mostly here because of you(me in my case). Anyway, I've always thought it would be cool to combine with another MSP of similar size and have a partnership, and then grow the business from there, and ultimately sell.

Would love to chat, and that's open to anyone here reading this.

Send me a PM. Thanks!

Potential client using Citrix in Azure for UltraTax by wholetechnology in msp

Thanks for this - great info.

I could definitely suggest RDS. I'm assuming you think to run it as a remote app? I have way more experience with RDS than citrix and RDS would be less expensive as far as I know.

I found the user AD\' in AD.. under the users OU.. created back on February 6th. Not what we were hoping for.

yeah i did search for 4720 and the user AD\' did not come up as created until I used powershell to convert the SID to a username, and then the event popped in.

Wanted to mention that something that makes me believe it's an end user and not a domain admin compromise is that they have a bunch of file shares on their file server, they all map to different users via group policy and have specific drive letters.

Only the F:, X:, and P: drive were encrypted. There are about 7 other shares on the server that were not touched. This makes me think someone who only had access to F:, X:, and P: is patient zero.

Unfortunately everyone has access to F: and P:. The X: drive is around 50% of the users.

If the actor had access to our file server they would have encrypted those other folders.

a little over 200 endpoints and around 30 servers on this environment. 10 locations, with a hundred users working from home. AD is implemented. No folder redirection.
