  @IRJ said in Pentest - Who would you recommend?:

  Internal attacks are many times more likely than external attacks

  And more effective. A trivial insider attack can do more damage than a dramatic external one.

  ok, if it is able to mix hyper-v version it can make a bit of sense but it is slooooooooooow.

  have to move to the other warehouse, if I've time I'll try to run this in linux under wine.

  ok wine failed both as common user and as root. I give up!

  @JaredBusch I use OWA because I switch back and forth between my Windows Desktop at my home office, and my Macbook while I am in the office, and traveling. While I could run Outlook on both the Windows box, and run Outlook on the Mac side, I think the Mac Outlook version sucks. So, I use OWA.

  I find OWA more mobile as well, but Outlook does handle moving between devices pretty easily.

  Yes, it does. On the Linux side, would you use a local mail client, or still stick with OWA?

  If a native mail client, which one?

  I use OWA. I tried Nylas, but something about my O365 account made it sluggish when it isn't with my other email. I don't use Exchange for my primary email, so OWA is fine. It's not Zimbra, that's kicking its butt in usability, but it is okay.

  It's nice to have moved back to something better than Exchange. I forgot how much I preferred it.

  Q

  @dgingerich @scottalanmiller sorry for the delay in a response from me. Working on a sev-1 at work at the moment so I'm only sporadically available. I'll be sure to take a look at this later when either the sev-1 clears up or my day is over.

  Server details?

  OS version?

  Windows Server 2012 R2

  Audit records will tell you everything that can be told. Copy, however, doesn't have an "action" with it so there is no means of tracking that. The server isn't told when a copy is made, so there is no way to log that.

  Will that record access if say, viewed in preview pane, rather than opened fully? Would be good to setup prtg to look in event log for that on specific files, if possible.

  It should has it has to open it for that.

  Microsoft released a new cumulative update last night that appears to address this for Windows 10

  I haven't tested it yet.

  This specific link is for version 1703

  @EddieJennings said in Twilio as a SIP provider:

  Unless @bigbear is talking about my "normal" month estimate. I don't have CDR before the toll fraud started, so I made an estimate based on the proportion of 60/60 and 6/6 minutes from my last bill.

  Most likely he assumed you did not calculate as you did. Most people cannot figure it out even once explained. I cannot count how many times I have done this.

  Should have just been LTS, the industry standard term. Why they added the B to the end, no one knows.

  Thought it was Long Term Servicing Branch?

  I agree with Scott - if you think your computer is ever infected, you can't really ever trust it again. Format and reinstall - or restore to an old backup, whatever.. get to a known clean state.

  In other words, scorched earth.

  I have HAProxy setup on Fedora 25 for use with Exchange 2010.

  I really need to turn that into a write up as I need to replicate it at another client anyway. Last two current clients with on prem Exchange.

  @brandon220 said in Nextcloud Questions:

  I thought about making a new VM using Fedora 25 as the one @scottalanmiller provided the group works so well. I'm just afraid I won't be able to successfully migrate the data.

  It's all just a database and filesystem. I've not done this, but should not be bad.

  Would this still be possible if you've chosen to enable encryption? I would assume that your encryption key would be different in a new install. I don't remember reading anywhere about how to migrate data from one install to another if it was encrypted (although maybe I've never read it because it doesn't matter). Has anyone done this? Moved users and data to a new install with encryption turned on?

  Doing the migration would decrypt on the source before doing the move. So it should be the same. The key would change or not depending on if you move the key.

  @Tim_G said in Laser printer sometimes trips an APC and shuts off computer??:

  I wouldn't put a laser printer into a UPS.

  If you lack plugs, and need protection, use a good power strip (for the printer) in one wall socket, use the APC in the other.

  FFS people. There is no damned printer plugged into a UPS.

  Misread. Please do accept my apology.

  In case you have a mix of private and public network profiles use this command.

  Enable-PSRemoting -SkipNetworkProfileCheck - Force

  SkipNetworkProfileCheck ignores any public network profiles so you can enable remote powershell successfully.

  Not quite the same as NFS 3 and NFS 4, but we intentionally use NFS 3 much of the time today even though NFS 4 is old.

  This may be good for a fork...but why hang on to NFSv3 instead of stepping up to NFSv4??

  Because the work differently and having the overhead of NFSv4 often does not make sense.

  Can you give more detail?

  They are very different protocols with a lot of different features. NFSv3 is much lighter than NFSv4.

  You will see that status if replication had been failing long enough to get into critical status. Even if it is now replicating again. I will show critical for a few more replication cycles.

  That is why you need to open the full status and check what it says.

  @tim_G what OS was your Host where it worked?

  2012 R2 and 2016, both Hyper-V Server and Windows Server.

  I've also done it with Hyper-V on Windows 10.

  It's always worked for me. When it hasn't, it's because of not paying attention and using incorrect options.
