@scottalanmiller "just toggle it back and forth" 🤣 🙄

Yeah, that bit was pretty funny.

@nikunjd05

If you want to continue down this path of PSEXEC, how about having an python agent that tracks your changes, check SaltStack, and salt minion, it will make your life alot easier, and it is much modern and supported than PSEXEC

AT&T is definitely blowing smoke. The new tenant will "own" that IP equipment and can charge both the existing tenant and AT&T for use of the facilities, or just cut it off. The new tenant will own that equipment and that connection.

My boss does.

So until you can show us what you are talking about, please answer this...

Why does he? As I illustrated in a prior post anyone can spam anything all day long. Why does he care about these bad accounts?

Yes, and arent these reports detailing hundreds or thousands of bad email addresses/day? Seems like they would be. If i received this report it would have tens of thousands of bad address bounce messages every single day.
In a large org i imagine it would be many millions.

Easily, for sure.

Content filtering comes to mind 🙂

Apparently Ninja doesn't control that, so it must have been Windows update defaults.

Wow, check it and see if you can apply a GPO to not allow for that.

As soon as the fire is out... I'll have to take a look.

This is the thread that pointed me to the Uniden equipment.

@aaronstuder Oh yes! Rackspace was about 3-4x more than what we are paying for Vultr. Not to mention much more flexibility, and performance (SSD).

@tim_g said in PowerShell Error:

What's the goal here?

Restart two known services named: "Sophos Agent" "Sophos Message Router"

If that's the case, there's a much easier way to do it:

function Restart-SophosServices { Restart-Service -Name "Sophos Agent" -Force -Verbose Restart-Service -Name "Sophos Message Router" -Force -Verbose }

Its either that or just wanted to restart all Sophos services.

I went with Lubunutu in the end. The hardware I have is old, but not ancient. Centrino 2 and 3 gb of RAM. I tried puppy linux and bodhi linux, but didn't care for either.

Puppy was fast, but ugly as holy hell. Bodhi didnt seem to work right on my system. It was sluggish for some reason.

Ya Puppy is just bad. I hadn’t Slitaz running on an old thin client at one point. It worked pretty well for that.

I didn't see your reply until after I decided on Lubuntu. I will try a Slitaz on a usb drive.

Ya I didn’t mean for you to have to do that. It’s ok, doesn’t look awesome but def looks better than Puppy.

I dont feel obligated. I just want to give it a shot 🙂

function Repair-SophosUpdate { [cmdletbinding()] Param( [Parameter(Mandatory=$True)] [string]$computername ) $Services = Get-Service -Name 'Sophos*' ForEach ($Service in $Services) { If (($Service.Name -like 'Sophos*') -and ($Service.Status -eq 'running')) { Restart-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose -Force } Else { Start-Service -Name $Service -PassThru -Verbose } } } ; Repair-SophosUpdate -Verbose

When I run this I get

I can restart the services as an admin but when I run the script as an admin I get the same error

Maybe put this in a new thread so you get help?

I didn't just burn the bridge I poured gas on it and stood on the other side laughing.

Did you really? I'm surprised the cops weren't called and you weren't arrested for arson. . .

There was no bridge left to burn by the time they got there.

Sadly I don't do anything with oVirt. I run OpenStack at home and bare KVM at work.

SOrry, I thought you were doing oVirt stuff. my bad.

No prob. I think @Tim_G was doing something with it. I just find it too bloated. It’s pretty sad whenever it’s easier to do an all in one OpenStack than it is to do oVirt.

I hate that. You always have a few outliers before you standardize on things and they are always the gotchas. This has happened to me on many occasions.

@smitherick said in FreePBX Endpoint Manager File Location:

@jaredbusch Right, I get that. I meant that they should still exist once I activate the new install since they were in the DB that was backed up on the old install and restored on new.

AH, I missed the part about having made a backup and restore.

@jaredbusch said in Remoteapp issue Windows 10 workspace.:

@fredtx did you reboot after clearing those keys? I’m not using workspaces anyplace at the moment to try and test this.

Yes I did. This may be from the aftermath from last Friday where I had to fix the RD Broker that wasn't allowing new remote apps on "any" workstation. Couldn't even access rd web from the broker itself. I had to give full access to IIS_URS and Network Service groups for both Tempasp.net files and c:\windows\temp folders. Restart IIS and that fixed the company wide issue. However, this 2 computers are giving me issues still.

@tim_g said in Use DHCP option 43 on Windows Server to tell UniFi devices how to find the controller:

@jaredbusch

I see, so just setting option 43 on whatever DHCP server you use is all you need. Nothing hardware specific is required on the network.

Correct
