@carnival-boy The basis of it is regarding personal data, but the outer layer is prevention, how are you protecting this personal data.

@scottalanmiller Could you give me an example of how you would change the local admin password on each machine if this password was compromised? or if a new person has started as needs to use multiple machines? are you going to go round to each machine and create this local account?

How passwords are stored and reset is a critical aspect of GDPR compliance. Clients and staff members may legitimately forget or need to reset passwords for a number of reasons. GDPR requirements mean that companies must be able to demonstrate that their password reset processes and procedures are secure. Systems must be in place, for example, to prevent help desk employees that may be involved in resets from directly accessing passwords.

With GDPR centralised password management is now required, so AD could me more prevalent then a Workgroup in the UK now.

@scottalanmiller use real coffee beans I take it Scott?

Deploying chocolatey packages via ansible playbook to several interview room computers. Very cool.

This does sound smart, would like to get stuck in to learning these one day....

@scottalanmiller haha 100% agree

Loved using DOS, but now prefer using bash rather then powershell.. I just don't get why every command is like writing a sentence in powershell.

The days when a Yahoo account was relevant, I started creating a site with Geocities and talked to random people on ICQ lol...

I got dialup when the first company in the UK called freeserve offered a fixed monthly cost rather than per minute billing..

How slow site loading was back in them days lol...

@scottalanmiller I agree, this is where Linux shines now....I'd would love to see developers drop windows and push their products to Linux, we only need some big companys like Adobe to adopt this which would push everyone else over..

Latest feature release 1809 has been pulled:

I'd say the old service pack method was more reliable then this windows as a service crap.

I use wordpress with Wocommerce, integrates with paypal and stripe.

@scottalanmiller Defiantly can understand what you are saying, I bet it has probably crossed a few MSP's minds though. I just hope they do stay loyal to the service providers.

@scottalanmiller could you possibly see Microsoft eventually putting the prices up on RDS Cal's targetting hosted desktop suppliers and companies running RDS/VDI on their own servers and try and push them to run on azure instead, so not making it profitable running on their own infrastructure?
