@scottalanmiller I couldn't find a way to mark the post as closed/ answered. Do I need to do anything to shut this one down?

It's currently marked as a discussion rather than as a question. In theory you can use the Topic Tools and "Mark as Question". Once it is a question, then you can go to an individual post and mark that one as the answer OR you can use the Topic Tools again and just mark it generically answered.

Skype for Linux Alpha works great. Really, really well.

Does that support skype for business as well?

Who cares! LOL

Just curious lol.

C is pretty easy to learn... only takes 3 fingers...

Found it: https://github.com/vatesfr/xo-web/issues/697

So here is a quesiton. When you first add a secondary DC/DNS, do you go back to the original DC and update the DNS on the NIC? Or do you leave the original pointing only to 127.0.0.1?

This has not been fixed, yet. 1.1.2 retains the issue.

Just a guess..

@BBigford said in Torch malware / browser?:

If we're talking about the same Torch, it's not malware. It has a torrent client embedded in it so that might be throwing up a flag.

Not to say it might be a phishing variant, or be compromised in another way. But the browser itself is fine (based on Chrome). Used it for a couple years before moving on.

I saw that there is a split on whether or not it is technically "malware", but that's not as much my concern. I just need to be able to positively tell the customer that it didn't come from our side (and I'm feeling pretty confident in that it did not).

And to my eyes, @BBigford, its behavior absolutely qualifies it as malware. Too much sneaky stuff going on when you use it, pop up ads all over the place, the use of the word "toolbar", etc, but I digress.

Problematic line is JoinDomain=$domainName

@scottalanmiller we have an ERP system that MOST of the companies work is done in.

They could still use office and such, but without the link the ERP stuff is useless. Production could continue on paper, it would just slow down

Email isnt local either, we use cloud based email which is stemmed from the datacenter.

That is a good point thank you for mentioning that

@gjacobse said in Linux Mint: Reset Windows Password:

WHile I asked, I also searched:

Reset Windows using Linux Mint

You can use Linux live CD and a program named chntpw will do the rest. You don’t have to install that OS to your hard drive. I am showing you how to do it using Linux Mint. Visit Linux Mint website and download ISO. Burn it to a disc and boot up your computer using that bootable disc. Go to Menu>Accessories>Terminal. Type sudo apt-get update. Press Enter. Type sudo apt-get install chntpw. Press Enter and keep that terminal open. From desktop go to Computer and then just open the drive where Windows is loaded. It will mount that drive. In the terminal type cat /proc/mounts. Hit Enter. It will give output like /dev/sda1 /media/CA123DD456EA6512. This long serial no will vary in your case. Change it accordingly in next command. Type cd /media/ CA123DD456EA6512. Hit Enter. Type cd Windows/System32/config/ and Press Enter. Type sudo chntpw SAM and Press Enter. You will get a menu with all users of the system. Default is Administrator. Type 1 and press Enter to clear user password. If you need to reset password for a specific user, type sudo chntpw -u username SAM and follow previous instructions. Close everything and reboot system.

I was going to suggest the chntpw. As far as I know that's compatible up to Windows 8.1... Never had to use it on Win10 yet.

@scottalanmiller Nothing stands out between them?

ioSafe uses Synology under the hood. So no. LOL

So it's like HP vs. Canon. Got it.

Duh here is a guide I actually wrote...

UPDATE:
This is just a copy and paste from my message to SAM btw

I got the firmware updated on all my devices and I got my network up. Not like I want though.

So I had it working with VLANS(as in DHCP, DNS, and routing were working), but then i had issues because my AP (10.0.10.2) couldnt connect to the desk(which is the wireless controller) which is 10.0.20.2

It had something to do with L3 integration on the AP, and I spent 9 hours on the support with Ubiquiti. They basically told me to wait for the next patch for the L3 support.

So i had to remove my vlans and just have a flat network. :((((

So with tagging vlans, i have a question:
the ports you tag on are the "trunks" in cisco terms?

On my switch, what i did is i tagged ports 1, and 8
1 is the AP, and then 8 is the switch->router port
I did this on both vlan 10 and vlan 20
this makes it so that if vlan 20 traffic goes to the wireless it will actually work correct?

I have a TPLink SG108PE.
It can do 802.1Q Vlanning. I have 8 ports and you can assign a PVID per port, and also assign which ports are tagged and untagged.

Port 1 goes to my AP, so it will be be a "trunk" in cisco terms.
Port 8 goes to the router, so it will be to be a "trunk"

Ports 3-7 will be vlan 20, and
port 2 will be 10

Wired is vlan 20
wireless is vlan 10

Am I correct in that ports 1 and 8 need to be tagged for both vlan 10 and 20, and that they are untagged for 2-7?

Am I correct in that ports 3-7 will have a PVID of 20, and port 2 will have a PVID of 10?

Am i correct in that ports 1 and 8 will have a PVID of 1 (the default)?

This is something I worked on for a while,.. I had a 1U server I could use, but it only had slots for 2 drives.... something I thought was 'risky'.

I looked at getting a heavier box something that could take up to 8 drives,.. but boiled things down to getting a ReadyNAS 314, 4 bay with 2TB drives.

IT's been running fine, have a few shares on it,.. permissions and attached a 1TB external USB drive as well (already had).

Small form factor and serious lack of ambient noise makes for the win...

ETA: I credit research and speaking with @scottalanmiller and ML for insight on it.

You might be doing it wrong. The basic/free version is very limited, from what we saw. What are you having issues with?

Oh sorry I'm not trialing that backup software yet.

I'm using the built in tools from the application vendor to try and restore a .BAK into a clean installation.

Oh, I see.

Yup, I have 65 devices exactly like this, sent out all over the country. I know exactly what you are going through. Your best bet is to just figure it out. You really need to be familiar with it before you send them to remote offices. You are going down the right road, just keep going. If you get stuck, or have any specific questions tag me or shoot me a message.

As far as what I am doing we developed an internal ad-hoc application for our users to preform tasks, and sign off. They then upload the results back to a database. We had to fight the political battle between people wanting to use the iPads for more than just our app, and locking them down enough that they would still work in a shared device environment. We have a Mac Pro that I setup the devices using Apple Configurator. That gets me wifi, and I add a policy that joins them to Profile Manager. Once there it is like Active Directory. I can assign users, groups, devices. I can lock security settings, add applications, control app updates, etc. Once they go out to the world, they communicate back to my server here. This computer also hosts a website that acts like a internal app store to host the installers for our in house apps. Nothing we work on is available in the Apple app store.

Do you ever have a need to lock parts of the screen down like you can do in Guided Access? Though I'm still not 100% sure I can't use Guided Access along WITH this scenario.

Also, can you change app setting over-the-air?
