After comparing the Coronet vs the MS E5 cloud app security license, I'm not seeing any alerts in Coronet that are already available in the cloud app security portal. The Coronet interface is just a improved and easier to work with interface. I'll be sticking with my E5 license for now since I'm getting the alerts I need with only paying for one E5 license vs paying per user with Coronet.

I have a C-Level executive that wants a 2-in-1 laptop. I’m trying to decide to recommend the Microsoft Surface Pro, Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga, or a Dell XPS 13 7390. I have no experience with any of the 3 listed. Has anyone deployed one of these products and your employee and/or customer is happy with? Is there another 2-in-1 product that I’m missing?

This was always handled by HR or the fired managers employee. Is this normal? How can I get this task off our plate and worry about more important IT related tasks?

So this is where semantics are helpful. This is an HR action, whoever does it, is HR. So what is actually happening is that staff hired to be IT are now acting as the HR staff. The issue isn't HR tasks to an IT department, it's an HR department being mislabeled as IT. If you are doing this job, you are HR. If you put HR on your resume, and someone checked your references, it would be a lie for them to claim you weren't at least part time HR.

Other than explaining that having IT trained people doing HR tasks that they have no skills, desire, or knowledge to do and having HR not doing their job is a problem, there is nothing you can do to get it off of your plate.

Love this comment. Yes, I worked part-time in the HR department goes on my resume.

Hardware is not worth the fucking time to get back.

If the company thinks wasting man hours on that is a good idea the company is insane

Thank you! I completely agree. Trying to convince my company this idea is difficult for me right now.

Are any of you doing anything to protect your network/clients regarding the Zoom security flaw in this article: https://mashable.com/article/zoom-vulnerability-windows-passwords/?

If you apply the workaround GPO policy on a domain joined pc, then there will be problems accessing files on a file server or NAS mapped drive the way I understand it.

Server 2019 enables by default some Hyper-v feature called RSC. I wonder if this is your issue. Someone had this same issue as me and turned it off and my Read speed went up to the 900Mbps limited by switch speed now.
