Why are you deploying 1709 when 1803 is due any day?

By the way even Microsoft only released 1709 as current branch for business in January of this year so it was pretty later after the release on the fall. I just did this upgrade and even with WSUS and restart restrictions for after 7:30 PM computers reboot (about 6 out of 200) in the middle of the day.

Right, and it's April.

@irj I have not used it but it looks like some of the Antivirus with integration to it are BitDefender, SentinelOne, Lookout and Ziften

We have tested it our lab extensively against SEP and Cisco AMP. It outperforms both of them in almost all use cases. We haven't tested on Linux yet, though.

Neither of those results really surprise me.

I thought Symantec was the best company in the history of Software companies

You have to wipe your phone to root most of the time... No other way around it.

It looks like there is the possibility that you can purchase perpetual license software (non-OEM, non-subscription) in the US so long as the license was designated as an EU license and originally sold to a company in the EU. It isn't a matter of EU law vs US law. The EU has simply clarified existing law clearly and US courts have not.

So the answer here is it is probably ok for personal use in the US?

Bonanza has been around for years, you would think Microsoft would have them blocked from US buyers by now if it were an issue...

The answer is dependent on the level of exposure and risk you're willing to assume. As a personal purchase your exposure is low, and you're thus unlikely to become a test case. We have gotten used to the idea that if something isn't specifically allowed it is illegal. The truth goes in the opposite direction. I believe (IANAL) that you would not be doing something illegal to purchase software from Bonanza and using it, even in a business. That said, case law does refine interpretation of law, so I won't be recommending Bonanza to my clients as a way to save money

nicely written...

That is the way the cookie crumbles

The elephant in the room

Maybe I am an anomaly here, but I have contacted Microsoft support twice and I thought it was excellent! Yes, I got an Indian tech and manager each time, but they helped resolve my issues and one issue went on for a week and was well outside the scope of MS support call. The tech I worked with on this case went above and beyond and helped me configure a third party tool to achieve my goal even though it was out of Microsoft's responsibility.

I made the switch over to Fedora Workstation because of this thread.

How to create a custom shortcut for terminal

https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/9623/how-can-i-set-a-key-shortcut-to-launch-terminal-under-gnome/

I usually already have a terminal window open and just have gotten in the habit of hitting Ctrl+N to open a new one. This woudl be easier because I wouldn't have to Alt+Tab to a sessions first...

Yeah I felt broken when Ctrl + Alt + T wasnt working lol

It's Ctrl + Shift + T to open a new tab in terminal.

I just use the default terminal with green on black. The tabs label themselves. It's very nice.

Ctrl + Alt + T opens a new terminal in Ubuntu.

I'd venture to guess that your users have local admin rights?

Remove admin rights from everyone including yourself and you will solve so many issues. Admin accounts should only be used when needed by IT.

One day, you'll stop giving a shit about making end users happy. Just make sure they can do their job and lock it down so they can't fuck it up.

Now I just need to get communicator/lync/Skype, whatever Microsoft wants to call it today, working.

I installed pidgin with sipe. I haven't had a chance to configure yet.

Web interface works fine.

We have 2010 communicator I believe. Not sure what product it was back then.

LOL, that's just silly.

we are going to 0365. We already signed contract for E5. They are figuring all the details out with MS. So that will change soon.

I got lync working. So I am 0% dependent on Windows for my job functions

@ignaceq said in Looking to ditch windows at work....:

I used Evolution on my box and this works very well. But i stopped using it in favour of OWA once we were on office365. Evolution still works on office365, but the owa interface (chromium and firefox alike) works very well.

I had to go through a million settings to get it the way I wanted it, but now I am liking it ok. Definitely not as good as Outlook or OWA, but usable.

I also found that you cannot trust Evolution to listen for exchange updates. I found it was spotty and unreliable. I set it to check with server every minute instead. I know that isn't ideal, but I can't miss stuff for 20 minutes.

Is drag and drop file transfer possible?

I really like OpenVAS and never noticed it being slow... it scans, and reports it's findings in an excellent way. Very intuitive and useful. It is worth spinning one up.

It is slow to start the tasks

Definitely.

Nessus is so much faster. In a big environment, OpenVas just isn't usable. It isn't bad for smaller environments, though.

@obsolesce said in Network Vulnerability Scan with REporting:

What does everything OpenVAS does, and giving you the same info such as fixes/resolutions, but is faster for larger environments?

Yeah, but OpenVas is a resource pig, and the reporting isnt very good when you are reporting against thousands of systems, and you need to break them up into smaller groups. Also it isnt ideal for enterprise as permissions are a nightmare when you only want certain people to see certain assets.

It is actually much more expensive for a large company to try to use OpenVas

Support article comes from intuit so that means they support it. If some level 1 isn't familiar with Linux that's irrelevant.

It's very simple to set up in a properly configured AD environment. You basically just install it, join it to the domain, configure it remotely. It just works. (so long as your AD environment is set up correctly)

This is the huge gotcha. The fact that it has to be domain joined to easily manage it is silly, IMO. Other hypervisors don't require this at all. Other hypervisors just work without this step.

How is it a huge gotcha when most business have an AD infrastructure anyway?

Wow so you cant use Hyper-V without a domain? Did it always use to be that way? I seem to think it didn't matter at some point?

Of course you can. But you have to do a few extra things manually with setting up trusts and delegation rights. There is a lot of confusion on this and a lot of misinformation out there.

I do totally agree that Microsoft screwed up by not making this simpler.

I guess if you aren't using AD, you probably aren't too fond of MS and are unlikely to use Hyper-V.

So i can agree on that point.
