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.

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.

@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.

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.

We've been able to Default the remaining APs and they are adopted. We have one that is being stubborn, while it 'pings' it's not reachable. Suspect an issue with the AP itself. One just lost the heartbeat, but, it was found and adopted.

All in all, four of the six are running and good to go. lot better than where we started.

Thanks

I have used Mozy over the years and have been quite happy.

I use Crashplan at home. Have used Mozy and Carbonite over the years also.

Very cool, will have to toy around with this.

Always enjoy reading articles like this. :thumbsup_tone1:

@scottalanmiller said in Starting Clean - Kibana:

Looking through the old threads on this that I can find, the first mention of Filebeat was by @DustinB3403 and that's what sent us down this path, not someone suggesting it (as far as I can tell.) Then he posted on the Filebeat article, which firmed up this path even more. Then in this thread, there was no talk of anything else.

So that Filebeat wasn't the right tool was never really considered because Filebeat was injected from the beginning. That's what led to the crazy confusion.

So a new thread all about using rsyslog to send to Logstash in ELK is what is needed. And the issue appears to be that ELK was never configured to accept syslog files because it's not open by default to listen for them.

And mentioning Kibana doesn't help. KIbana is the K in ELK, but it's not a part that processes logs. You can use Kibana for other things too, like just showing system graphs.

Yeah I get the whole Kibana wasn't where the problem was - but this was because Dustin (and I) didn't understand where the error was.

The simple setup Dustin did - install Kiwi syslog server, change the XS log config file to send all logs to the Kiwi syslog server (took less than 10 mins) was so brain dead simple, neither of us knew what was failing in ELK. So Dustin started troubleshooting at the point he had direct contact with, Kibana.

I really wish there was a way to do multiple hosts (like a range or comma separated) because this will get unwieldy with a lot of users. And would be nice for some LDAP integration.

There is LDAP and an interface for this, but not available in the XML setup. I'm going to be doing another one with MariaDB soon.

Ah I've only tested the XML version. Didn't realize there was another.

Yeah, much more robust interface.

@scottalanmiller is NTG using Azure AD for it's Windows 10 machines yet? Is NTG using anything for GPOs?

Yes, we've been on Azure AD for quite a while now. Like since last year.

No GPOs.

Local admin? or at least access to the Local admin account?
