Is anyone else experiencing issues setting up new outlook profiles for O365 users?

There appear to be a litany of open items right now but nothing that specifically says configuring outlook as being impacted.

Have you contacted support?

Yes, just waiting for a reply.

@dashrender said in Need Regex Help:

Is there anyway to pull the data out so you can use the tools you want?

I want to use BrightGauge because I dont want to have to handle the data on an on-going basis. But yes I could export the data, and filter it down to show me just the "These don't have that" in excel which, that is actually already done.

But its still incredibly annoying to have to review.

The end goal is to have a list of systems that are simply lacking one piece of software or another, and to not have to view everything other piece of software with it. So that the lacking software can be installed.

@dustinb3403 said in Need Regex Help:

@pete-s I can't use grep for this specific function as I'm limited regex or known string searching only through BrightGauge.

If you can't make scripts to massage the data in BrightGauge, I don't think it's possible.

That's kind of what I'm feeling. . . but hopes and prayers I can pull something out of my hat. . .

The regex inverse match is

\b(?!:Microsoft|Libre|MyTax)\b

But this will list literally every other piece of software found, and not the exclusions of "I've not found this software on "Bobs-pc" or on "Sarahs-pc"

@pete-s I can't use grep for this specific function as I'm limited regex or known string searching only through BrightGauge.

Have you seen: https://regex101.com/
I got shown that the other day. Looks like it might be of some assistance.

I'm on regexr.com right now but will take a look at regex101.com in a moment.

Worth noting there could of course be spaces in the software name and that the above is just an example of what I'm trying to do.

Hey all,

I need some help with some regex, which I admittedly never use in my day to day.

The goal is I want to search a list of software across multiple systems and key in on 3 specific names and only list the systems that specifically don't have any of those 3 names.

IE

Computer Name | Application
bobs-pc | Microsoft
bobs-pc | Libre
bobs-pc | MyTax
Sarahs-pc | Anti-virus
Sarahs-pc | MyTax
Sarahs-pc | Libre

The output I would like to list

Bobs-pc since it doesn't have Anti-Virus and Sarahs-PC because it doesn't have Microsoft.

Anyone able to help me sort this out?

What's the specific use case for the NAS? But probably synology and their SOHO models.

@dashrender or just don't install Windows 11 Home if you don't plan to give Microsoft more insight into your personal habits.

This in my opinion makes little sense to work around from an end user or implementator standpoint.

With the online account you get better integration to backup systems (OneDrive).which for a home user is a pretty important feature. Among other features.

If you simply don't want these features for.a home device, why bother with Windows 11 at all?

Sounds like you're using this in production, correct?

@pete-s a mix, where I currently work we ha e our own Colo and in office servers. A large number of our customers require on premise hardware for their offices, cloud servi es make sense for a lot, but not everything. Even colod workloads make little sense to a lot of our customers.

While it makes a ton of sense to move to hosted email, or even file shares, there are so many proprietary systems that business uses that aren't cloud ready.

@dustinb3403

Unfortunately tech that goes obsolete always causes problems but it's more technically sound to monitor through the OOB management interface.

It's after all independent of the OS running on the hardware, independent of the server's NICs, independent of most hardware failures and can be used for a lot more than just monitoring.

And in any modern installation, the OOB management should have been setup and in use already.

Absolutely I agree with that, except the only OOBM that existed before OneView was Ilo and smtp emailing. Which is hardly reliable.

And I do agree that moving to an OOBM like OneView makes sense, it doesn't make sense for an ITSP to have to use though, as it's setup per customer, and would be running on the same hardware it's monitoring in most cases.

@voip_n00b said in Goodbye hardware monitoring on HPE Gen10 and newer equipment running ESXi:

@dustinb3403 Why?

Because you're required to setup and maintain and additional environment for it.

1 customers won't want to spend more money for something they've previously had included (by hpe) and 2 ESXi needs this functioning to report on the underlying health status.

Explain.... "Well, this happened because you are overpaying for something that you don't need and now it costs even more because they know you will pay because you are already paying just for the sake of paying. Instead of paying more, you could pay less."

And they will instantly say "oh heck no way do we want to SAVE money, spend spend spend"

What?

HPE is removing a hardware monitoring provider for VMWare (and presumably everything else). The assumption that anyone who has hardware, must be able to monitor it, ideally through their hypervisor.

Sure shifting to monitoring through the hardware interface, such as ILO or OneView but these approaches add yet another administrative panel that must be used and managed and maintained.

@dustinb3403 It’s free and has more functionality.

For a standalone environment, it is not msp/itsp friendly.

@voip_n00b said in Goodbye hardware monitoring on HPE Gen10 and newer equipment running ESXi:

@dustinb3403 who cares. This is what the iLO Amplifier Pack is for. Just use that. It even automatically opens tickets with HPE.

You clearly don't support customers.

"Hey those new servers that were easy to monitor and support, yeah well now all of that is gone. But you can buy this other thing to get a tiny portion of the functionality back."

Good thing no one here runs ESXi..

Sure and none of us support it either.

Just like HPE. jajaja

That is actually a good one
