Thing learned today: Domain controller must have SMB v1 enabled for a Server 2003 member to join the domain.
Why.... why are you joining Server 2003 members to your domain?
Fastest network stack?

Because some of the apps we use are ancient, and I don't have a choice (other than find another gig). What's even better is this, is a machine cloned from production to create a test machine -- supposedly to test upgrading $something.

Just mowed the back lawn.

How many people here play D&D? I know @JaredBusch and I do
I do tabletop RPGs, but not much D&D.

I'd like to get into it. My schedule is so crazy, I haven't been able to commit to one.

Working with Barracuda Bad Spam Virus Database
https://status.barracuda.com/incidents/bg1k53czc8p8Isn't everything from Barracuda bad? I've never really had a "great experience" with Barracuda.
Their spam filter is pretty good.

The consensus for the majority seems to be that way. Not everything is bad but somethings are not the best.
Their firewalls are pretty bad, IMHO. But their spam filters are one of the best. Their security issues that would keep them out of most places in my shops aren't hugely relevant to a properly installed spam filter.
Barracuda isn't cheap, I'd normally get a service like The Email Laundry instead, but if I needed an appliance, they are a good way to go.

So you know what your path must be

Except it was their spam filter that was compromised

@scottalanmiller - I used to use an on-premises Barracuda spam filter (when I had Exchange on-premises). It was mostly good, and definitely better than Office 365's native one. Microsoft can't even filter phishing emails that pretend to be from Microsoft.

Everything was compromised... it was a hard coded back door in nearly all their products.

Why do you need a resume? Are you not busy enough already?!

Really interesting position came up today and they reached out to me as the "one guy with the background we need". So I polished it up.

Any one else having issues that Indeed.com isn't working for employers? Try to post a job ad and it just goes to a 404 page?

Not going to post it for healthy critique?
