It's it @scottalanmiller who said that the NAS has admitted that Amazon has better security than they do? Or did I dream that?

If you are a burgaler looking to steal something, of course you are going to make that statement that you cannot break into a particular area. People will move their valuables into that area and whoops, the thieves have them.

Government sponsored, highly motivated, extremely dangerous combined with serious levels of funding burglars.

But it's where the government moves its stuff. It's not what they tell the public, it's what they do to protect themselves from the public.

Can you rename ADUC Security Groups without breaking the linking to GPO?0_1474908000492_2016-09-26 12_38_32-SSI-DC1 - NTG - Connected.png

I have some groupings that I want to 'filter' by, but to do so, I would need to rename the Security Group Names

I have

Accounting Printer Deployment Engineering Printer Deployment Sales Printer Deployment Shop Printer Deployment

and I would rather have:

Printer Deployment Accounting Printer Deployment Engineering etc

Should be able to. Group names are just identifiers there is really a UID that each group has that is actually linked to the GPOs.

Updated, guess we'll just wait to see if it broke anything. It's just printers so nothing critical.

@Minion-Queen said in Microsoft Activations:

Still the leaked key can be from a VL. There are shady companies that will by VL and sell the key off to fit in their VL amount.

We've lost customers because of this before, they were only willing to work with MSPs that would acquire leaked VL keys for them. If you refuse,they hire someone else. It's pretty common.

LOL, yeah I got fired from a client once for this. I was tired of them making a killing and not paying their fair share or switching to something else. I was happy to see them go.

It's a pretty common thing, sadly.

@travisdh1 said in Windows 10 Update 1607 seems to be removing .Net 3.5:

@JaredBusch So how the [self-moderated] do certain, previously named, companies make things that require very specific not-quite-upgraded versions of certain components of .net? I mean, they target specific versions of files that are a part of .net. When I go bald, at least I'll know why!

Because they do not want to spend the money to recompile for newer versions in order to maintain a stupid high level of compatibility with people using old shit.

You think they're actually bothering to use the tool you posted? Nope. They're checking the filenames on the system. I forget exactly which files they do this for, but it's super annoying because it didn't match with the latest updates or original version last time I had to install the P.O.S.

@gjacobse said in How to turn off iOS Suggested Words:

Recent updates to the iOS system have made a number of changes. One of which is you don't swipe down to turn off Suggested words when using the keyboard.

How to turn off the QuickType keyboard on your iPhone or iPad

Launch any app and pull up the keyboard. Tap and hold on the emoji icon in the bottom left of the keyboard. ... Swipe upwards and hover your finger over the Predictive toggle and release your finger. To enable QuickType again, just follow the same three steps.os

I was not under the impression the swiping down on the handle was disabling it. Only hiding it.

Thank you all guys, I've already started my experiments (successful, till last try) with clonezilla &co.!

That's a good one - I'm used to the typical fake invoices.

Glad to hear it. No better way to kick off a weekend!

@Dashrender Broken is the natural state of a WSUS server unless regularly poked at.

that doesn't make me feel better 🙂

@JaredBusch said in Dell R710 NIC teaming issues:

@BBigford assuming you had no team made, your screen looked like mine?

When you then clicked on team at the top did you have create? Because I do not.

Yeah, Create is now gray but only cause the NICs have all been allocated. Before, it was the only option in the menu. Pretty different from BACS 3, and not sure if that's a good thing... 😐

0_1474655858474_3.jpg

I do not get that option. So yeah, it must know the NICS are not available even though it is not managing a team.

I used to use the windows debugging tools. Set it up once on your workstation, use the MS symbols , then !analyze -v (if I remember correctly) on the .dmp file should spit out the offender.

I have never looked. I last used one of these systems in 2009 and hated it. Never looked at one again.

@travisdh1 said in PCI compliance:

@Dashrender Yep. Just one reason why PCI isn't about security, it's about passing the blame.

Can also replace PCI with HIPPA here and it stays true.

@scottalanmiller Ok, I think I got it. Per http://bugs.elastix.org/view.php?id=2549:

Starting with PHPMailer v5.2.7, the default HELO hostname is not set anymore to 'localhost' if not supplied on the Hello() function... This generates that the Elastix remotesmtp configuration checker ends up sending an empty HELO/EHLO command, which makes Gmail (and probably many other SMTP servers) really unhappy.

A possible solution would be to modify /var/www/html/modules/remote_smtp/libs/paloSantoEmailRelay.class.php on line 156:

if(!$smtp->Hello()){

change to:

if(!$smtp->Hello(getHostname())){

If you are using the Multi Tenant version the location is /usr/share/elastix/apps/remote_smtp/libs/paloSantoEmailRelay.class.php

Changed that and it worked. However, whenever I create a new organization and the email is sent to the "admin", I never receive anything... what could it be now? Any ideas? Thanks!

So then restore from backup on a host that has enough capacity, and just kill the power to the other host.

Of course, having your DC and email server inside the same VM will be more problematic than just being one or the other...

@scottalanmiller Yeah, it was a test box on Vultr, and in the end, I'll probably just reinstall it, but the fact that it's doing this is bothering me, especially thinking about if it would be a production box. Oh well, thanks for the help.

This is exactly what the original Surface was. A Windows only piece of hardware. ARM based, Secure Boot locked Windows only computer. I have no problem with that, while not blatantly obvious, anyone reading the specs would realize this.

Wherever I've worked decisions have always been made collectively amongst various stakeholders.

Often involving politics, diplomacy, compromise and ego-stroking.

@scottalanmiller said in Exchange Online Migration From POP3:

@Carnival-Boy still looking to move Sharepoint? Any progress.

I'd forgotten that Microsoft has killed Foundation (2013 will be the last version), so there is no longer a free version of Sharepoint. If you need it, you have to pay for it. I'd forgotten this even though I actually posted it on ML a year ago (I think my memory is going in my old age).

Add that to the fact that it appears that migrating from on-premise to online is not a simple task (compared with say Exchange), and I'm coming round to thinking it would be foolish to further invest in Sharepoint Foundation 2013 and we're better off moving to Sharepoint online asap. It will mean extra cost in the short-term, because we'll have to buy a load of O365 subscriptions, but less cost in the long-term (as eventually we will have to migrate from on-premise to online since Foundation is the only product that makes financial sense on-premise and Foundation has been killed).

I've never heard of anyone actually getting paid. I think it is more theory than reality.
