I'd store it in Lastpass in a secure note.

Known terrible employer and put of despair place to work announced already that they are making people come back after the pandemic.

Yeah, I was asked just yesterday - can you spy on people what websites they are visiting and for how long?

I asked why do you care? Why not look at their production numbers and if they are bad - council them, if they remain bad, get rid of them...

That's now how I was picturing Crazy AJ's

Not me.. I expect a huge flashing sign with his face on it....

LOL - I simply downloaded the install file and Spiceworks instantly thought my machine was now dealing with the ZOHO cloud network.

@Dashrender Mexico might try to take it back again

I wonder why we don't just buy Mexico and build a smaller wall? lol

I got bit by this - I'm almost more sad I didn't get to bring this to group

We got hit with this at 7:45 this morning. Of course at first we weren't sure what was wrong (but looking at the streams of emails coming in from out AV some of them claiming files in the AV folder were bad made me think the AV was suddenly broken).
I started a mad dash at first thinking I should tell everyone to shut down their computers, but quickly rethought about that and instead just told everyone 80+ people to just walk away - stop using your computers (in retrospect I should have told them to get off the network too). I was running under the assumption that a bad DAT has been pushed (felt awesome to be right) and I grabbed a stack of unused laptops and started booting them up, disconnecting from the internet as soon as possible (disable wireless) and then proceeded to uninstall the AV. This worked! I was in business with machines that didn't seem to have the issue. We handed these machines around to get key areas access to our main applications. This surprisingly took a long time, finally around 11:30 we received notice via email (I called support and left a voicemail since they didn't answer - and still now 12 hours later still no call back) that they were aware of the problem, had pulled the bad DAT and were researching solutions to the affected machines.

around 12:30 I was able to start checking all of the computers around the office and found that we only had 15 machines that actually had downloaded the update and need to be fixed. As of now I'm still waiting on the aforementioned fix.

Damn it's been one hell of a day!

Love this one!

If I can't scream at JB then it's worthless to me

holy crap - MS is having a bad year of patches so far already...

Trying on my new kicks

Oh - if you can,.. buy at least ONE shot of you know what for you know who..

Ohhh I need to get a in on that one.

I had a discussion with Danielle and Joe yesterday about unencrypted SIP trunks over the internet.

Anyone who's been reading ML for any length of time knows that @scottalanmiller is fully for using SIP trunks directly over the internet without bringing in anything special like vendor supplied session boarder gateways, etc. This isn't to imply that extra stuff is needed to provide encryption, it's simply a side note.

I'm just curious what the rest of the community thinks of using unencrypted SIP trunks over the internet?

Also, some endpoints will connect to the PBX via the internet.

I am sensing that the "congrats" are much more directed at her for getting rid of this crappy responsibility than they are for my getting stuck with it.

Oh, and I won't be wearing any of her shoes, just to be clear and up front about all that stuff.

So we have a new shoe size to discover? lol

OMG I can get a good price to Dallas.

I'm going to be replacing my WAPs this summer. I'm wondering what the best direction to go is?

UAP 2.4 Ghz only Wireless N $60 (Amazon) Won't work with standard POE, requires 24 V power injector
UAP Pro Dual Band Wireless N $229 (Amazon) POE 802.3af
UAP AC Dual Band Wireless AC $280 (Amazon) POE 802.3at

1/3 of our laptops support Dual Band N today (replaced summer 2014)
remaining laptops are between 3-5 years old, running windows 7 and will only be replaced upon failure (or Windows 7 retirement).

None of our devices run AC today.

Also, what kind of switches do you guys like to power these and VOIP phones? Is Gb to the desktop really worth the expense over 100 Mb?

I'm updating 3 buildings worth of networking:
Building 1: 7 APs, 40 desktops/phones all need POE
Building 2: 11 APs, 50 desktops/phones all need POE
Building 3: 5 APs, 20 desktops/phones all need POE

With the explosion of new users in the past two weeks, this list could get large!

I agree you - it's a waste of $10K.

Scott's comment digested means - we can either have some money in the bank, or we can spend it. Sure, since we have money in the bank we can spend it today/now.... and if we need that $10K for something else, something more important tomorrow - Oh well, I guess we'll live without because of our shortsightedness.

It sounds like this printer/scanner is connected directly to a computer - but if it's not, I'd definitely setup both Scan to email and scan to network and ditch the local scanning software from the machine.
