Microsoft patches 0-day vulnerabilities in IE and Exchange
IE info bug was under active exploit; exploit code for Exchange flaw was circulating.
Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday this month had higher-than-usual stakes with fixes for a zero-day Internet Explorer vulnerability under active exploit and an Exchange Server flaw that was disclosed last month with proof-of-concept code.
The IE vulnerability, Microsoft said, allows attackers to test whether one or more files are stored on disks of vulnerable PCs. Attackers first must lure targets to a malicious site. Microsoft, without elaborating, said it has detected active exploits against the vulnerability, which is indexed as CVE-2019-0676 and affects IE version 10 or 11 running on all supported versions of Windows. The flaw was discovered by members of Google’s Project Zero vulnerability research team.
Microsoft also patched Exchange against a vulnerability that allowed remote attackers with little more than an unprivileged mailbox account to gain administrative control over the server. Dubbed PrivExchange, CVE-2019-0686 was publicly disclosed last month, along with proof-of-concept code that exploited it. In Tuesday’s advisory, Microsoft officials said they haven’t seen active exploits yet but that they were “likely.”

Pantheon DE that Elementary OS uses will be available has a new spin when Fedora 30 is released.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/PantheonDesktopThat's awesome. Glad to see that DE moving into the mainstream!

Me too. My kid really likes that desktop environment a lot.

https://glpi-project.org/glpi-9-4-0/I used GLPI before switching to Spiceworks at my last job. From what I remember, it wasn't terrible... I'll have to give this one another go.

I've also used it before switching to Snipe-IT mainly because of the check-in/check-out feature.

Currently using snipe-it. It is great. The one thing spiceworks has is the automated scanning. This mostly works, but also can cause network issues and is kind of clunky. I actually use both, but only use sw to fill in certain gaps.

I haven't used them for a long time now but, Fusion Inventory or OCS can also automatically scan to and then add the info to GLPI. If I remember correctly they require installing an agent to the computers for them to work.

I don't mind having an agent. SW uses agents for remote systems. PDQ Inventory does too, or will. I am using PDQ deploy and would like to have the integration that comes with the inventory aspect.

I prefer agents. Slightly more work overall, but consistent results and no weird troubleshooting.

Even when I used SW, I used it with all agents.

I find that for inventory and stuff like that, Agents are usually more accurate and less resource intensive than reaching out to scan from the server.

For the server but for the computer it is more intensive... however I do like when something scans the network for me instead of an agent. There were certain devices added that sometimes do not get agents and so I like that part when there is a networks scan.

Being able to do both is usually a good approach, IMO. When you scan the network, check for an agent. If the agent is found, trigger an inventory update. If the agent ain't found, try to inventory it yourself, or at least alert somebody to put the agent on.

The one feature that will be extremely useful to me is the custom asset report addition for the "fully depreciation" value. As it is now, we're guestimating when an asset is due for upgrade based on an Excel spreadsheet.
