MangoCon 2019
-
And @gcarreon
-
I'm going to try. I'll likely have to take vacation for some of it. Though I can likely get some of the expenses covered.
Won't know until A) there is a list of topics and B ) likely after the new year.
-
Tentative location selected. Looking likely to be Plano.

Is there any cost for bringing a guest? I would love to bring the wife. I doubt she would be interested in the tech, just a vacation.
I was wondering about that as well. I'll probably be bringing the girlfriend unit if I'm able to attend.
We hadn't really thought about this yet, because let's face it, nobody's main squeeze was interested in going to Rochester, NY
Not really sure they would have ANY interest in going, even it was in an exotic location. Because then they would want to be out on the beach and not in some IT thing.
I know at least one spouse came to Rochester during MangoCon and did touristy things while the IT talks were happening. Can't remember who it was off the top of my head right now.
I don't know if Houston would be more attractive for doing the touristy stuff or not. 2019 will be the first time I'll have been in Houston other than waving while I drive by in a truck.
It was me! Brought he kiddos too. They had a good time in. Rochester.

Powershell
What type of powershell? 101 type stuff or more advanced?
-
Something that might be of use is using PowerShell to manage a small environment that doesn't use AD.

How do you deal with permissions in a non AD setup? keep a list of logons to refer to for the script?

I suppose. That's something I wonder myself. I suppose one solution can be to configure an administrator account on all machines with the same password and use that.
I've only heard of such management happening in a non-AD environment. If someone actually does it and makes it work, I'd be curious to see how.

I can probably do a 101 or 102/103 type course. Let me think of something and I'll post it.

That large'ish shop I used to work for had 1500+ SCO boxes, and they had a shared password file that was sent out to all boxes. No centralized authentication. This was 18 years ago, no clue how they are handling it today.
I would think a LDAP type solution would be best - but perhaps not.

That actually is central authentication. Different than how AD does it, but not all that different. That's still just a form of caching, and AD does that too. It's just proactive caching versus AD's reactive caching. Same difference, though.

OK - how do you push the hashes around?

You CAN do that using state management. But with state management, you don't' need hashes, either. The theory of full state management is no logins, at all. Dramatically more secure than any kind of login management.
Doesn't work for END users, but works for admin users.

Venue has been finalised!
Details to come. But it will be Las Colinas, TX. Between the two airports.
