@travisdh1
I inquired about Asterisk... and shot down fast.

Should have asked about VitalPBX or FreePBX, something you can pickup support with. Don't know why, but people like having support available, even tho that's what they are already paying us for!

@scottalanmiller and I discussed... and that was an idea. I knew I could leverage strong support from @NTG and @Bundy-Associates. Not to mention my previous experiences working with same.

It was a hard Nope. Support or no,.. It's sadly not considered.

Testing Microsoft Configuration Manager current branch deployment procedures.

Oh the fun. We are in the process of getting Autopilot configured and working. It's working,... but I feel there are still some questions and failing points still. And I think the core AD/AAD needs to be addressed. (shrug)

suddenly a noticible chunk of stupid issues just stopped.

Had the same thing happened when I added a 4am reboot to all users systems on Monday mornings.

I would like to add that. But so many of our staff won't be on network, on at that time. Nearly 85% of the PCs are laptops...

ETA:
That and a force kick from the Citrix and RDS servers at 1am daily.

Oh for FFS -

An alert has been fired on local host DOMAIN\COMPUTER regarding user myuser. A suspicious powershell script has been found in C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\Teams_ODfB.ps1.
Please let us know if this is legitimate.

This is the script

 Start-Process -File "$($env:USERProfile)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Update.exe" -ArgumentList '--processStart "Teams.exe"'
 Start-Process -FilePath "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Microsoft\OneDrive\OneDrive.exe" -ArgumentList "/background"

Which only starts Teams and ODfB.... Like.. JFC -

oh FFS People!

Ah you don't unstand why your computer doesn't work right...

Looking for a new radio, as I managed to sell my main one yesterday. ... which was a bit of a surprise. Not sure I want to deal with an external tuner on the next one,.. but just means more up front...

It's between these:
FT-991A ALL-BAND, MULTIMODE PORTABLE TRANSCEIVER

or

FT-891 HF+50Mhz ALL MODE MOBILE TRANSCEIVER

I would need a tuner to go with the FT-891, whereas the FT-991A has it internal. It's been a long time (cir 2000) since I bought a new primary radio,... it's over due...

What kind of radios are those? CB?

I'd definitely go with the 991A if it's got the tuner built in.

GASP He said Ceee Bee... GAH

Hahaha - Amateur Radio or Ham Radio. Likely the route I'll go is the 991A, as as stated,... it has the internal tuner. And beats having to manually tune things as I had been.

All - Staff
\ This group
\ that group
\ New group
=user 1
=user 2
=*user 3

So - uhm, yea,.. we have this group that is a member of a group, but has disabled users in it....
Yup - seems perfectly normal... OmFG!

Meaning - lets not remove disabled users from groups and just leave them 'laying' around ADUC

Looks like it's going to be a long day.... It's AD Password change day - I've been here 90 days.

So, that's
.AD
.OneDrive
.Teams
.Outlook
.Sharepoint

That I have had to manually update... (shakes head).

@nadnerb Me. Every. Single. Time.

lol, remember to quote when replying to a specific thing. I'm laughing because it looks like your reply was to the "Why not try....? Crime" picture.

ROFL. Good point. Post fixed.

Although some days, I wonder if it isn't easier to turn criminal. Had $1500 disappear from my checking account over a period of 4 hours yesterday. Fortunately, I was at the bank about 30 mins after it started happening, lol.

Ouch - I have heard that happening more and more.

@jaredbusch

Thank you for performing your civic duty - while I know is a hassle.

Ugh - What is it with Spammers today... @nadnerB took out several,.. and I have taken out three or four now myself... (incoherent mumbling)

Today's AD Pull
1,060 accounts total.. of which 538 are disabled, 555 haven't signed on since I have been here (June 28th), 99 have never signed in....

oh the joy of ADUC management.

There's a powershell to help with that.

get-aduser | remove-aduser -- the AD Equivalent of rm -rf

Well ,... I will at the VERY Least - kick to the disabled folder.

We are moving forward with a complete ADUC re-do.

Taking from a previous post I made about a certain piece of equipment, I've just learned that the equipment must run Windows 7... because of course it does for legacy hardware.

So know that pain. State Unemployment app was like that for scanning... Pain ITA.

Can't download a Printer Driver from support.lexmark.com.

Why - because it's a .EXE file and the FW blocks it... Like really? oFFS!

guest network - then zip it and mail it to yourself? or something to that effect

heh - basically what our off site contractor did... Still.. I get security - esp with PHI involved. But you can't break the tools that your support people need.... jeez.

oh - I I don't see it as breaking tools IT needs - I need they need to provide a solution for IT - such as the one I suggested - or a separate network for IT to use that doesn't have those things blocked.

yes - there needs to be a path - an accepted and useable path - to get the tools and such needed. So that one doesn't 'break the system' and end up with a data breach... That... That would be a very bad thing (to happen again).

Sadly, they'll still have on-premise Quickbooks
