Something custom certainly would do this easily. Of the shelf, I can't think of something that would work, but I can't quite picture your workflow, either.

I have a number of things that I have to track for every employee (only 50 employees right now), all of them required by some level of government compliance. Many of them require documentary evidence, while others would simply be a date. Others would require both. Workflow is something that is more random aside from new employee starts as it would be based on need rather than a schedule.

Are these like PDFs? If so, Sharepoint or Alfresco are best. If it is just data, a quick web front end to a database might be best.

They are PDFs, but I don't think Sharepoint will work. I believe I need to be able to build relationships between my tables. Sharepoint is very flat, and there is little to no relationship between two lists. At the most basic level I could probably do it. I could do it in Excel for that matter, but it isn't designed for it.

Maybe I'm not communicating as clearly as I think I am...

I'd like a means to track all my employee information. This includes PII, numerous forms (PDF), and date/check boxes. I'd rather not make a non-normalized, scroll-forever-to-the-right list or spreadsheet. If I were to build this in Access I would have several tables on the backend linked relationally, and then use a form with several tabbed subforms as my interface.

Does that clear things up at all?

You can have multiple lists and build relationships via a higher level if you wanted. But that seems like a lot of work.

@Romo said in HP Microserver RAID controller:

@scottalanmiller Yes,Intel RSTe

Oh yeah, that's awful 😞

That's why I always use MD raid, fake raid is awful.

Well yes, of course. But the SmartArray software RAID isn't bad. Has some benefits. Might even do blind swap. But that's just the Microserver from HPE.

@coliver said in Removed ADFS, CRM plugin for Outlook wont authenticate now:

Man am I the only one that doesn't have issues with ADFS? It just works with little to no intervention on our part.

Yes. It's just awful.

Why do you have ADFS? Why not just sync?

Follow up to this... They agreed to go with email to fax. Problem solved.

Sweet, well that worked out.

@DustinB3403 said in Install LAMP phpMyAdmin and MariaDB into CentOS7:

This is CentOS 7 that is running LogAnalyzer and Syslog.

I'm trying to stand up a centralized location to push the logs to from XenServer.

So you are looking for the XenServer or the CentOS logs? In both cases, they are in /var/log/messages, not in /var/log/syslog as that's an Ubuntu file.

@Veet said in Vendor Harassment Black List:

@scottalanmiller - while I back your intent, I don't think a community based black-list would work ...

Perhaps not, but what if we had a thread and each person maintained their own list on it? Then people could pick and choose quickly from that list?

Graylog has updated and no longer relies on the old version of ElasticSearch. It will use ElasticSearch 2 now. So time to revisit.

@Francesco-Provino said in LUKS, passwords and Cloud instances:

So, you already use LUKS… where do you store it, locally or on in a cloud-something? I'm very curious about that, I believe LUKS is not so widespread, but very good at solving problems like password storage.

I used it extensively and automated it's creation for a huge hedge fund. Used for global finance data. Both local and cloud.

For databases, not little files 🙂

Passwords held in trust by department managers.

@travisdh1 said in I passed....:

Good job...

Now, where do I get my evil overload certification?

EOC exams will be held on the second Friday the 13th of each calendar year, or on the eve of the first blood moon, whichever comes first.

Well to see the groups you would run dnf group list. I'm not sure if that's exactly what that is showing you.

For example in a minimal kickstart all you will normally see is

%packages @core %end

I think it's just how they package everything, so you don't have single package dependencies. I could be wrong though, I never looked into it.

@Veet said in To Password Protect a network folder or not:

Hi,

This may be off-topic, I don't see many people talk of AD RMS, with or without Gigaworks / Secureislands etc..

I'm certainly avoiding it because I have no idea what it is 😉

Gigaworks / Secure Islands I've never heard of

AD RMS = Active Directory Rights Management Services.

"By using Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS) and the AD RMS client, you can augment an organization's security strategy by protecting information through persistent usage policies, which remain with the information, no matter where it is moved. You can use AD RMS to help prevent sensitive information—such as financial reports, product specifications, customer data, and confidential e-mail messages—from intentionally or accidentally getting into the wrong hands."

Great will do, thanks.

@momurda said in Trust Relationship Error:

@scottalanmiller @Lakshmana
Ah, if that is the case then there is an option to use the NT Offline PW reset bootable iso and change the local administrator pw or blank it. You can then login as the local administrator, and remove the pc from the domain using that account.
That would then require the object to be deleted from AD manually some time in the future. the pc would then also need to be renamed as well I think if you wanted to rejoin it.

Assuming JB's assertion is wrong, and they really do know the domain admin username/password, but they don't have a working local admin password - this solution will work for resetting the local admin, which then can then use as indicated.

First thing I would have done is turn on the hotspot on my phone and tried to connect the printer to that WiFi.

I hadn't planned on that method exactly... but it's a good quick idea. I had brought a different switch\router along for the ride.

I got it restored to a new db,.. but i did have to change the file name.

This one has been intended for years, but never bubbled to the top of the writing list.

The situation that you are facing here is that you are being forced to act as a Project Manager (PM) and you need to step into that role mentally and work as one in the context of addressing the scheduling.
