    @IgnaceQ said in If starting from scratch, would you suggest learning BASH or Ansible?:

    Besides anisble there are other tools for remote tooling. In a linux world you need bash. this is a basic need.
    On top of bash, it really depends on the environmnet you're in. I would suggest python on top of this. You can use python in ansible, chef, terraform, etc... Also on non linux environments, python is availlable (bsd, windows).

    He needs Ansible because he's doing an Ansible based certification path.

    I ASSUME that their answer is that no one should be emailing attachments like that and they should be sending links to the hosted files instead?

    I can't remember the last time that we had to email someone an attachment of an office document, just saying that sounds like a legacy process. Who needs to do that in the modern world?

    @NETSERVER that's a bit surprising, but honestly, I guess not. With the way that IBM decided to view CentOS and RHEL, it isn't the stable, well supported system that it used to be. It used to be taken far more seriously. Now, I can't imagine a scenario where I'd deploy RHEL. And at one time, I had one of, if not the, largest RHEL fleets in the world.

    I think what you want is a completely external device. That's how this is normally handled. Meaning it's common to have a dialer / ringer on a computer but you answer the phone. Same thing could be done to make a loudhorn blast anything you want as well.

    @Pete-S said in Debian 11 & php8:

    Not a challenge at all but the reason to run "stable" is for stability.

    Once you start abandoning the integration, though, you are abandoning stability. The idea of using an LTS and then replacing the parts of the OS that aren't up to date is counterproductive. Choose the most up to date, best supported, most stable version and use the fully tested and integrated components instead.

    The idea of "stable" is not stability in IT terms, that's a myth. It's actually against that. The idea of current is for IT stability. Stable, in reference to an OS like this, is in reference to the versions of products remaining stable so that unsupported, out of date software from bad vendors can be used without updating for long periods of time. Not a positive stable, it's a bad stable.

    So found out the user is actually corrupt, this is the 4th time this has happened according to the internal IT team, and they're looking to get the PC replaced

    It’s always best to replace a corrupt user. The can leave so much of a mess.

    I realize this is nearly a year old but you can actually just backup the AAD user profile with USMT as USMT will see the profile as a local profile.

    We have done this using USMTGUI previously

    @lilyleiden said in User migration to azure:

    We just tested migrating a small batch of test users to our new Azure tenant.

    While migrating the PC/user account was no problem, the fact that people get a completely blank user profile, certainly was a showstopper!!

    Many of our users has had their AD profile for years, even a decade and has a lot of individual settings, ways to work, shortcuts, quick links, favorites/browser cached passwords etc. and they loose all that.
    Management has currently halted the process due to the protests.

    So I am on the lookout for a way to link/migrate the old profile/profile settings, when Azure joining the PC?

    As far as I know, the only option is using third party software. There are several options.

    We have for many years used USMTGUI from Ehlertech for domain profiles (USMTGUI use USMT for local and Domain profiles) but USMTGUI (corporate edition) also has a really simple to use function for migrating a profiles content to an AAD user, after the PC has been joined to Azure.

    As said there are several third party options but as we already knew USMTGUI prior to switching to Azure, and USMTGUI makes it possible to handle all scenarios with one program, we have not really tried any of them.

    @Pete-S said in sssd and user ID mapping:

    @Semicolon said in sssd and user ID mapping:

    @Pete-S If it is an issue, its trival enough to prevent public key authentication for users or groups of users, even groups of AD users.

    Sure, but the problem for developers and admins is that they usually need their keys. That's why I don't think ad/ldap integration with ssh users really works in that use case.

    The other solution, which is what I think is more suitable for developers and admins, is to use your SSO/AD solution with MFA to pickup a short-lived ssh certificate. Then you use the ssh certificate to actually access things.
    Many companies with huge infrastructures use this method because it's very scalable.

    We forced kerberos for SSH auth after wen enabled AD integration. SSH works like keys then but you don't use the keys.

    Never used it but it seems to be a good solution if you want AD integration.

    I noticed that gitlab also supports kerberos for pushing and pulling. I assume github does too. That's very convenient.

    @scottalanmiller said in Get Alert Whenever There is MS SQL Server Access:

    It's a production database so there should be an email when the application connects and absolutely no user should ever, ever, ever be able to log in unless it's an admin doing an emergency backup and/or restore (likely alerts would be off during a restore.)

    I cannot imagine a MS SQL Server based client-server application that does not make a billion DB calls all day long. So you will have to exclude that system user from being audited.

    @scottalanmiller said in Get Alert Whenever There is MS SQL Server Access:

    There's no user ever authorized to just connect.

    The application user is always connecting. Repeatedly.

    @melvinsilva said in Ubiquiti - UDM + APs - Guess Wireless Affecting POS Traffic:

    If the GUEST network is activated, the POS network traffic is degraded

    Have you checked to see if the network is saturated? Does this happen when it is activated only, or only when guests are there using it too?
