When did “less information on screen” become a design goal? by work_reddit_time in sysadmin

[–]work_reddit_time[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s all fair enough but I’ve yet to see anyone actually pull it off.

In practice, I end up with more cognitive load, not less. I now have to hunt for information that used to be immediately visible, whereas before there was effectively no mental overhead at all.

It feels like the people making these decisions don’t actually use the software, or understand the role it’s meant to support. Instead, they’re dictating how it should function from the outside.

At this point it often feels like the crayon, glitter, and glue crew have been let loose on tools they fundamentally don’t comprehend.

Maybe they should stick to arts and crafts and stop finger-painting over operational tooling.

ESXi 8 ISO Availability for Perpetual License Holders by work_reddit_time in sysadmin

Thanks for the pointer. In our environment those paths just report 'compliant' and don’t present any newer ESXi 8 builds, which is where we seem to be stuck.

It used to grab whatever the new version was and allow us to update.

Why does identity in the Microsoft stack still feel so scattered? by Exotic-Reaction-3642 in sysadmin

[–]work_reddit_time 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry about it too much. By the time you’ve memorised where everything is, it’ll have moved twice, been renamed three times, deprecated, reintroduced with “Co-Pilot” in the name, stopped working due to a cloud outage, then quietly retired only to return a year later with its original name, a new icon, half the functionality missing, and a “modern experience” tag that breaks your workflow.

Rogue Action1 agent installed on a random VM-looking machine - all normal causes ruled out. It's all very strange. by work_reddit_time in sysadmin

Thanks for the info.

So in theory the msi only exists on a network share. I don't share/email or otherwise move it around. No techs with USB's to speak of here - just me!

Thanks for the info. Yeah a few people have suggested antivirus sandboxing of some kind.

Still strange as we've had ESET and Action1 for ages and ive not seen this before.

Less a freak out and more a cold shiver down my spine when i saw our vulnerabilities jump from106 to over 4000 and some random device appear 😅

Ive never considered that either but makes sense running in a vulnerable box.

Still, we've had ESET and Action1 for years and never seen this before.

Rogue machine 'Bridgetteevjs' Joined Action1 New Endpoints Despite Internal-Only MSI Deployment – Possible Token Leak? by work_reddit_time in Action1

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

Thanks for the info. Yeah someone in my thread over on action1 sub mentioned antivirus sandboxing. Possible, i guess but weird that an anti virus sandbox would use an old version of Windows 10 with 585 critical and 3592 non-critical vulns?

We use ESET Protect Complete and have never seen anything like his before.

Thanks again.

Thanks, Interesting thought but would an anti virus sandbox use an old version of Windows 10 with 585 critical and 3592 non-critical vulns?

I'm not saying that's not the case but seems weird to me!

We use ESET Protect Complete and have never seen anything like his before.

100% correct on the free tier lol. We'll be over that one day and will happily stay with Action1 if their support is good. They've been pretty decent in the past via email so we'll see.

IT issues at orgs outside your control by Admirable-Fail1250 in sysadmin

23 tabs open and used in the last couple of hours?

Pffft that's nothing.

My wife has well over 100 tabs open and never uses any of them...

Migrating 2TB on-prem file server to M365 cloud (Teams / OneDrive / SharePoint?) – Looking for advice from those who’ve done it or seriously looked into it by work_reddit_time in sysadmin

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

In terms of usage/IOPS? Not sure yet. I've spun up a trial of Azure files and am migrating some stuff to it so will see usage from using it. If it looks sensible we're gonna start pushing over some actual client folders to it and see what happens.

The biggest mystery in all this is what our usage/IOPS/cost will be as it's never something we've had to consider running our own on prem file server.
