  @stacksofplates said in Microsoft plans on retiring the MCSA,MCSD,MCSE certifications in June 30,2020: This is just like that time when @JaredBusch and I argued with you because you said "we were laughing at people not using APIs in the 90s" meanwhile there are still a ton of companies making client/server architecture including a piece of software you have to support. Actually, no, it's completely different. You are conflating the idea of people doing things poorly with that lots of people do do things poorly. If you stop putting words in my mouth and actually read what I write, you'll see absolute consistency. Your understanding or assumptions jump around wildly because I'm being realistic and evaluating each situation on its own merits, not in spite of it. In the example you just gave, yes, I'm mocking people for doing things poorly. But that in no way claims that I believe that people don't do things poorly. In fact, I've stated ad nauseum that the majority of the world does things poorly. And I've said many times that we should make people doing things be more accountable.

  Starting on Server 2012 you can have as many SSLs on your IIS Because of SNI support as you want however anything OS than that you can have multiple SSLs but won’t be able to apply them to different sites. I use certifytheweb for Let’s encrypt client with Windows Servers and it works beautifully with Exchange, RDS servers, Application Servers and even internal servers as they use DNS Verification.

  @Pete-S said in sftp without ssh shell access?: Thanks guys. To summarize the link above, it's these lines in sshd_config that does the magic. Match User sftpuser ForceCommand internal-sftp <snip> The first line will tell sshd what user(s) the rest of the settings apply to. The second line tells it to go straight into sftp mode. So this will only apply to the users that match the rule above. Just make sure to test SSH after you do the changes ok a new session otherwise you might just have broken SSH access.

  After all that, why doesn’t the company work on something like an RDS or Terminal to Server system that way the data and application is not on the user’s machine? Or even better think about a web app or anything that doesn’t depend on your hardware. Also you might be able to disable tamper protection on the client for Sophos however the best thing for someone using Sophos Central is to have the MDM to allow the wipe of the computer, it will wipe the minute that computer hits the internet. Also the Sophos lockdown with the agent is very annoying but I have gotten it to work for the reasons this topic started but HR took care of getting the laptop back and not IT.

They are not that expensive. for multiple sites? Just what everyone wants, a pocket full of tokens. EHR email 2nd EHR 3rd EHR 4th EHR 5th EHR it's PHI so I could easily see insurance companies at some point also requiring it, so that could be another 20. This is a joke right? You can use a token across multiple sites. Especially Yubikeys. yeah I know you can with something like a Yubikey - but that assumes that the site supports Yubikeys -and our EHR only supports Symantec VIP tokens - super lame! I'd argue it might work anyway. Yubikeys support up to 31 or so OATH-TOTP codes (like an RSA token or Google auth app type token). It also supports any number of u2f applications and two slots for TOTP/HOTP, hmac-SHA1, and GPG keys. As long as the VIP tokens use some standard for the way it generates the TOTP token you can scan it/enter it with the Yubikey Authenticator app and have it manage that. Interesting.. thanks. It is the same for using Authy instead of Google Authenticator. A lot of sites only say Google Authenticator, but they all use standards, thus Authy works just fine. Exactly. Anything that says it uses Google Authenticator, can also use MS Authenticator. Same standards as JB said. That part I know, but Symantec VIP uses their own what they call credential IDs, it's not a generic number like GA or MS auth uses... but I'll have to dig into it to see if it's cross compatible.

Anyone know if the logs are only/mainly in GMT? Almost all O365 logs are UTC 0 regardless of the timezone of the server or requestor. yeah, OK that makes the time line up for when the user added the rules, I'm just curious why it took MS 6 hours to send the noticed of alert? They batch some of their processes, so it may have had to wait for the group to run rather than being on demand/occurrence.

  @magicmarker said in Renaming a Hyper-V Host: @PhlipElder said in Renaming a Hyper-V Host: @magicmarker said in Renaming a Hyper-V Host: I want to rename a Hyper-V host to comply with a new server naming scheme. The Hyper-V host runs 2 production servers that are replicating to another host along with being a host that other Hyper-V hosts replicate to. I’ve been unable to find anything that says this not a good idea or explaining what this can break. If this can break things, or is a hassle, I’ll leave the name alone. I don’t know how the Hyper-V replication handles a host name change. Has anyone renamed a Hyper-V host? How is Replica set up? HTTPS or are both members of the guest's domain? Off the top the rename would break things either way. With the need to re-establish replication the existing replicated data should be okay to use as a seed. Replica is setup on HTTP. I'm leaning towards not renaming the host. Seems like it will not be worth the effort. Not HTTPS so not using certificates? It's not much of a chore if straight HTTP. That being said, if it is HTTPS then the certificates need to be generated, seated, and applied again to get them happy with each other.

  It's the capability of the device to be hot-swappable. Purchasing one then adding another for some other time for a proper set-up is possible.

I made sure the key was set first. after the upgrade it is gone. What a pain in the ass. Where did you add the registry key? HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Nextcloud GmbH\Nextcloud? I did not add the second key because that was to prevent user override? My users don't have admin rights so even if they attempted ot override, it would never work.

  If your nginx reverse proxy is on Fedora, confirm that SELinux isn't denying anything. sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep 'denied'

  Theoretically there could be a link aggregator somewhere down the line that is putting loads of smaller connections together to create this effect by accident.

  @Pete-S said in Opinions on POS/label printers?: @Dashrender said in Opinions on POS/label printers?: @Pete-S said in Opinions on POS/label printers?: @scottalanmiller said in Opinions on POS/label printers?: Any reason not to look Dymo? We like them a lot. Does Dymo make standard thermal transfer printers? I thought they only made printers that would print on their own media. What does this mean? I have Dymos all over, we buy non Dymo branded labels from Amazon and they work fine. Is there something special about that type of label though? What I meant was that Dymo makes printers that takes Dymo labels. Sure other might make compatible labels but that is not what Dymo had in mind. Dymo sells their printers because they want you to buy their labels (which is where they make money). Zebra and others on the other hand makes generic printers that take standard size media - just like an office printer takes "letter" size paper. OK I getcha... like Keurig tried to pull with scanning a barcode on coffee pods - total fail! People will do damned near anything to override your lock-in when possible.

  @JasGot said in Exchange 2010 (On-prem) Migration to Hosted Exchange/Office 365 Planning: @wrx7m How did your migration go? Have you done any more? Just curious what tools (if any) you used...... I'm about to start a migration and need to decide if I am going to do it as a pst import, or a migration from on premise exchange to cloud, and if so, do I use the built-in migration tool at admin.exchange.microsoft.com or a third party tool. I am interested in what you did and what the pros and cons were. Thanks! Ended up doing a migration using the standard MS tools. Been a few years now and am glad I did it.

  @DustinB3403 said in Office 365 Suite - User Licensing T&C: And what I specifically was hoping someone had a link for was to MS's license or T&C saying that "no you can't share an account for multiple people". Obviously this doesn't exists since the way the software is procured is per user. Right, they won't repeat it because they have it in writing already. But you can always show that it is 1) assigned to a named user 2) at the time of procurement you have to agree to a single human. That's better than any T&C link.
