@gjacobse said in OpenSource or free rouge device detection:
If you are talking about devices on the network,.. isolate by the MAC address - Rouge devices would not matter then as they would not be allowed resources.
Security is no good without monitoring
Does it exist? Just need to be able to whitelist devices and get email alerts for ones that are not whitlisted.

@scottalanmiller said in Anyone have Fixed Wireless?:
Interesting topic, I like that.
Don't use fixed wireless here, there are no providers in the area. We are in that density that is light enough to be a problem but not light enough to warrant wireless to move in.
There is no fixed wireless here either,.. however could your Cell phone provider be classified as such?
No there is no Fixed wireless with celluar. It's roaming.. Just like devices with wireless APs.
Wireless will always have more latency. Also generally there are more Hops in wireless. Wireless is susceptible to weather, tree growth etc. Fiber generally is not.

Aaron just decided to reduce his community profiles and remove his old stuff. He was never an official media rep for them, he just works as one of their sysadmins so I ping him when I see stuff that is relevant. Nothing awry at BackBlaze itself.
Well he's done it several times before so seems like normal for him.
He has? I've never seen him do anything like this ever. Or do you mean when he stopped working at SW? That's different, he changed jobs.
He's went through several different accounts on here as well as spiceworks before.
He did? Are you sure? I'm not aware of that ever happening.
Are you perhaps confusing him with @aaronstuder ?
Oh this isn't Aaron Studer?

@Jason said in Joining/Binding Macs to AD Domain - Should I Bother?:
We have a few macs. They are not domain joined. The have local accounts, and are encrypted (preventing single user mode bypass/reset of passwords without damaging files), they just store their AD account in keychain. They have to change their password via RDP. Heck most of their tasks are still done via RDP. The macs they just use for internet and outlook. Pretty dumb if you ask me but Marketing Director seems to like it. Guess he fits in at Starbucks with other marketing folks.
To be clear are marketing department is not a graphic design, web design, video or audio editing team. They work on campagins, corporate account pitches etc. All the other stuff is outsourced.

It's hard to argue actual business usage for a Mac unless you are really doing some heavy music or video editing.
is that even still true? Macs and Windows machines run the same hardware. Most, if not all of the editing software that used to be Mac-centric is also available on Windows. What I don't know - all things being equal except price, is the Mac faster?
I am sure you can do use alot of browser based tools, but I am sure you would probably run into unsupported hiccups. You say except price like there is only a $50 or $100 difference in pricing per unit. Generally you are paying double if not triple for a Mac.
Grandma can use a Lamborghini to get the groceries, but that doesn't make a Lamborghini the best choice for Grandma.
Browser based? No audio or video editing professional app runs in the browser. Avid Pro Tools is the Standard for Music, for Video it's Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro. Final Cut Pro used to be a choice but after the switch from 7 to X it was a consumer app. When there was Final Cut Pro and the integration with Logic Pro, SoundStage their was some argument for macs not anymore. Adobe used to run better on Mac but now Mac OS X is such a bloated OS it runs better on Windows. Font Rendering used to be better than windows, now it's the same.

It hasn't been true for years.. People just assume that still.

The basic security risk is inherent in creating an opportunity for a single breach to affect multiple endpoints. A lone computer can only be compromised itself. An entire network can be compromised through the breaching of a single account (if it's the right account).
Only true to some degree.. Computers inherently trust each other even not on a domain they will always try pass through authentication first. actually requesting pass through and getting NTLM or Kerberos tickets are some of the easiest ways into a network.
They removed their google profile cause it had so many negative reviews, disabled reviews and "post by others" on their facebook page. And they delete most comments on facebook they have no interest in interacting with customers, they want to hide reality.
ASO sucks in the service department. They are now know to take months to reply to tickets, and office have random issues.
@BRRABill said in SMB firewall options:
@scottalanmiller said
Partly why I like PA so much
But they do more than a traditional firewall, less then a "full" UTM.
BTW, at MC you mentioned $10K as an entry point to PA.
We have the PA-200 and it was less than $3K.
And like $1.2K ongoing a year for subscriptions, support, etc..
Wish ours was that cheap.
We replicate between none clustered SQL servers here but it's one way. All Onsite Clusters replicate back to the Corp Cluster every 30min or so. Two way would require a lot of Checks.
@scottalanmiller said in SMB firewall options:
and, technology type or both.
Sorry, been away. "Good stuff" was referring to Palo Alto there.
Palo Alto does not make true UTMs they are all considered firewalls. We have them and they are great but they aren't classified as UTMs.
This is what Palo Alto themselves say about UTMs
The only value proposition a UTM provides is to collapse the traditional (broken) network security infrastructure into a single box as a cost savings mechanism.
@Veet said in SMB firewall options:
For 20 users or so, I'd stick with an all-in-one box (UTM) ... Sophos, Sonicwall, pfsense ... all would work, just as well
Sonicwall is crap.
Pfsense is not really a UTM, it's a firewall sure you can add some packages to it but it doesn't perform that well as a UTM.
@DustinB3403 said in Join Azure AD after installing Windows 10 1607:
And how many home users take advantage of it? (I'm asking for posterity) I have users who have a hard enough time typing in a password, much less syncing up their accounts.
It would be for users buying their own devices to use remotely for work.
@DustinB3403 said in Join Azure AD after installing Windows 10 1607:
@JaredBusch You're right.
But I'm still confused why you have the option under computer settings.
Can you try and join home to AD?
The link is suppose to be there on Home edition so you can join it to Azure AD & inTune for MDM
