Your not allowed to talk @aaronstuder shhhhh

I like WordPress, building a couple of e-commerce sites at the minute using WooCommerce which is a plugin. So much versatility with Wordpress.

@scottalanmiller do you have many to do?

@obsolesce Probably unlikely to be using DFS when using Samba as your PDC but something to be aware of I suppose

@scottalanmiller hahaha, that's what I wanted to check....I'm sure DFS improvements were there somewhere, not sure what level though.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-server-2008-R2-and-2008/cc754918(v=ws.10)

yep, using 18.04.1 here...

@scottalanmiller Very true, nothing wrong at all in using. believe there was some improvements to DFS-R in higher Forrest levels, but if your obviously using Samba in your environment you probably would not be using this role anyway.

I believe the forest level with Samba can only be 2008R2 though.

Anyone seen the new features of Chrome OS. starting to look impressive, glad they have finally have the play store..

Certain security practices could be a good topic, including prevention and monitoring.

@scottalanmiller said in Hot Topics for MangoCon 2019:

Some topics I'm thinking about doing...

• NoSQL, What is it and what are major products today
• The Commodity Line
• What Does Good Look Like - Modern Software Design
• From RAID to RAIN, Storage Trends in Current IT
• Cloud v Colo v On Prem - Understanding the decision factors between them
• Backups in the DevOps Age
• Risk Analysis for High Availability
• Linux on the Desktop 2019

Defiantly these Scott!

Cloud v Colo v On Prem - Understanding the decision factors between them
Backups in the DevOps Age
Risk Analysis for High Availability
Linux on the Desktop 2019

Defiantly some brilliant and interesting topics there.

this was defiantly a popcorn thread, cannot believe that was back in 2016.

@jaredbusch does digital ocean block this by default as well?

@dustinb3403 I agree with this, I've seen one type of HR software copying data from one program to another using plain text files, might as well not of even had passwords on the software login screen.

I've got a client that I've warned, that has POS program that writes data to an access backend database with the access database fully open... I stated to him as well, might as well not have a login screen for the POS software. I've emailed his software developer and asked him to sort this out.

This steps into the Devops kind of arena I personally think though.

@carnival-boy Only if you have some kind of password policy automation in place, like Scott has stated, using tools like puppet.

@carnival-boy said in GDPR Requiring Centralized Password Management:

I don't understand what user/password management has to do with GDPR. My understanding of GDPR is that relates to restrictions on personal data held by companies, and rules on reporting data breaches to authorities in a timely manner. Neither of these seem to relate to AD or similar services? AD doesn't even generally hold personal data.

First and Last name of a person is personal data. But so is an email address, birthday, sex, sexual orientation etc.

Don't store sexual orientation in AD. Have processes to remove accounts for ex-employees in a timely manner. Job done.

storing sexual orientation in AD would be a bit weird lol...

@carnival-boy This is what I'm stating, using AD for GDPR compliance

@scottalanmiller Most consultants I work with don't know how to use automation tools like puppet, ansible etc.
I agree if you have an RMM tool, this could possibly work.
