@scottalanmiller said in MDM for Windows and Mobile Devices | Mobile Device Management?:

I've got a customer that needs MDM that is able to lock down devices to the point of controlling what websites that they can visit. It's a small user pool, just two corporate devices that will be off network, but we'd like a lot of control on these devices. They are for singular purpose, essentially.

The company has a number of mobile devices that are less important but they'd like MDM for them as well.

Ideally a single solution that allows us to manage everything off network in a single pane of glass is ideal. What options do people know and/or recommend for something like this?

I personally use MS Intune for device management, but please look at Manage Engine MDM and is free for 25 devices https://www.manageengine.com/mobile-device-management/?pos=MEhome&loc=ProdMenu&cat=UEMS

Oh, we use Zoho a lot too. Great tip, free for 25 gets us a LONG way!!

@CCWTech said in Windows defender quarentined my VM... WTH?:

Server down this morning...
VHDX File is just gone... It's missing...
I found out that Windows Defender had detected it was (or had) a virus and quarantined it...

How Windows defender even would ever quarantine a VHDX is beyond me.

Come on Microsoft!

That's odd. VHD/VHDX files are NOT ever scanned by the host, unless of course they are mounted in the same way as a disk or USB disk is to the host OS for example. Otherwise, they are treated like a black box. So something else had to have happened for it to be quarantined by the host OS. That doesn't just happen willy-nilly.

Additionally, VM files are automatically excluded when the Hyper-V server role is installed. So again, something isn't configured correctly or something weird is going on.

What happened to you isn't default behavior.

Not sure, we 'inherited' the server. We don't do HYPER-V any longer. Everything is KVM now. (Proxmox)

But it was for sure quarantiined. Funny thing is that Windows defender scan of the actual VM shows no virus... So weird.

My guess would be that the VM's AV cleaned it up separate from the host's AV killing the VM.

If you search for net_bind you would assume it would find both these post but it finds nothing.

It seems to only search "words", and that isn't a word or part of a word.

That does seem to be the case. It's not smart at all.

And one last update from Node 15 to Node 19. I bet we are a lot faster now.

@Pete-S said in 3CX Desktop VoIP Client Hit with Supply Chain Attack:

But if I understand correctly it was only there it had been compromised, not upstream.

That's what it seems like from all of the reports. Otherwise there should have been a HUGE report of an open source ecosystem hit. Closed source vendors would have been all over that.

@srsmith said in I can't even:

The backups are stored on the same physical host

To assist in these kinds of conversations with customers (or internal IT), I never allow people to call these backups. I say "whoa, there's no backup here, that's a file copy and nothing more, backups have a definition and this doesn't in any way meet it. We can't say we have a backup as at no point do we back anything up."

Not allowing people to say "backup" helps. As long as they are allowed to say the word, they will convince themselves and others that they are protected.

And trust me, when government agencies with backup requirements come to check, you don't want to have been using backup sloppily to mean something other than a true backup. I've had teams threatened with actual jail time for playing fast and loose with their use of the term when the SEC almost found out that they had intentionally avoided backups.

@CCWTech said in Choosing between Microsoft Hyper-V 2022 and VMware vSphere 8.0?:

@Oksana KVM really should be part of the converstaion.

Right? Hyper-V and VMware are the two I'd rule out, period. The short list is KVM and Xen. Hyper-V is effectivley discontinued. Vmware is the worst product in the field (and the most expensive, but even at free, it's the worst offering out there.)

Interviews while eating hot wings from mild to needing assistance.
They show each kind of sauce they use - 10 for each episode.
I personally liked the interviews with Matt Damon and Jimmy Kimmel.

Turned out to be a SIP port issue. I remember when I set this particular site up I ended up using port 5160 instead of 5060 but when I configured the new IP group in the skyetel portal I didn't change to the correct port. Once I made that change the portal now shows the new interface as healthy.

@AdamF said in Nextcloud Install question:

Does anyone install Nextcloud (On Ubuntu latest version) using snap?

I did, and everything was going fine. But then I wanted to change the default storage location for all of the media to a directory "/data" I cannot for the life of me figure out what config/permissions are incorrect. But taking a step back, is installing via Snap recommended (for home use)

Disregard. I went with a manual install and was able to change the path quite easily. Downloading/syncing all my stuff from Backblaze B2 now!

Snap is good for normal desktop apps, not good for servers.

It's so weird, especially after learning other cultures now that I don't live in the USA to watch how people act in the USA.

Such entitlement. It's nuts.

Yeah, you rarely get that same weird entitled attitude anywhere else.
