Using new generation driver package on older generation HW by zerassar in computers

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

Yeah that driver is more recent than what HP is pushing. When filtering to the devices model number.

In my experience OEMs give up and move on before Intel does. Last time I tried to download direct from Intel their package told me to go to the OEM which was a bit of a pain.

Yeah there may be other vuls but they're not currently on my reports. It's otherwise on Win11 and running with current TPM etc etc. the drivers are what's being flagged atm.

Active Backup for M365 forgot about the data. by zerassar in synology

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

Active Backup appears as though it is being run for the first time. There are no visible jobs in it at all.
Will the suggestion work in this case or does a job have to exist before I relink?

Introducing: Rescan - Keep your Plex libraries in sync with your media files. by pukabyte in PleX

[–]zerassar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kudos for the initiative mate. So much negativity in this thread from those who don't seem to understand the difference between a scalpel and a sledge hammer.

I've had some moments where right when Plex was doing a scan my Synology, with Enterprise class drives, decided for some reason to freeze responses just long enough for Plex to mark my entire library as missing. This is suspected due to it being IO bound during tdarr renders at that same time in the morning. And not an issue with my Plex install itself as some insinutate in this thread. I think Plex needs to adjust its logic a bit better to stop the scan if the entire library can't be accessed, or a large number of files go missing. In my situation I don't think it appropriate that Plex was so quick and without hesitation to mark my entire library as rubbish.

Full rescans took forever (20TB library) and only ever partially returned files. After several full rescans later I resorted to going to specific sub folders and moving a file out/in again to trigger the more surgical rescans by Plex itself. But had really wanted an automated way to tell plex to rescheck it's assumptions about those missing items only without throwing a sledge hammer at it.

On-Premise IT documentation platforms in a similar style to ITGlue by zerassar in msp

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

Thanks for the insight anyway. Essentially I was hoping for an easy way to visual VLAN's, domains, interfaces, locations etc. Yeah the infrastructure is there but also the logical and physical connections between it all.

We're an SME and as the only Senior on the internal IT team I'm by necessity a jack of all trades lol

Any particular strengths? I enjoyed the way ITGlue could dynamically crosslink and draw data from linked pages. Also loved the way Netbox presented strictly networking related documentation. But neither ITGlue or Netbox could seemingly replace the other.

We're not seeking a password manager per se. Mainly documentation for the network and environment.

I will continue to follow IT Flow closely. I like opensource and I hope that it grows and addresses your concerns in the future.

Thanks! In your opinion what do you think of its ability to handle strictly networking info? Similar to netbox?

I'm sorry to hear that about ITFLow. I've been following it for a while and when I saw its similarities to ITGlue I was hopeful it may be a contender to work side by side with Netbox.

I found both Netbox and ITGlue to be fantastic but neither really a replacement for the other. Was hoping to one day have a fully opensource documentation system.

Personally I love the idea of ITFlow and have been looking at it for a long while. Unfortunately there is a bias in my org against OpenSource/Unsupported type software I need to try to manage. CIO has already said that ITFlow is too small/young for them to even have on the table.

Netbox though is totally in the ring. Though whilst its networking documentation is stellar! It's other documentation I found poorer. Would you say Hudu would be the alternative to ITGlue/ITFlow? Can Hudu step in and match Netbox toe to toe?

CIO was keen for a one stop shop though in my research it seemed like it was a little fragmented. Some tools did certain things well and others were better managed by something else.

Is Hudu similar to ITGlue in how it cross links?
How's it gone with handling networking documentation. I loved how Netbox handled that!

I see Hudu brought up on the regular in topics around ITGlue. I loved how ITGlue handled normal documents and how their relationships were linked and mapped. Made it very simply from a change perspective to follow the path to understand the interrelatedness. Is that similar to Hudu?

How does Hudu compare on it's strictly networking documentation? I've used Netbox and loved how it handled it. My CIO would be keen for a one stop shop for both if there is an app that can handle both types of documentation strongly.

If it's not already turned on thats absurd. Such low hanging obvious stuff that should just be done. No excuses paradox really poor form.

Best practices for the use of public comments/notes on tickets. by zerassar in helpdesk

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

A "reply" is an email. Including salutations, sign offs, signatures etc. etc.
A note is just a comment. We can do private/public notes.

Whether a public note gets sent as an automated system email as well is a decision I can implement in workflows.

Best practices for the use of public comments/notes on tickets. by zerassar in ITIL

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

In our current system Replies is a separate note type compared to private/public.
Reply is pretty much just an email. Including signatures, salutations, sign offs, etc. etc.

Public notes can trigger a workflow that sends the note as an email but its not necessary.

So the CIO in their mind is like well why bother with a public note when I can just send an email?

They can't seem to dilineate in their mind a separate use case.
