To come back around to the initial question, I'll throw GLPI + FusionInventory into the mix as a decent replacement for SpiceWorks. You keep the ability to have your whole IT environment managed and documented in a single system (Equipment, users, ticketing, contracts, contacts etc etc....)
So the laptop is my main driver and runs the 3 displays + it's own.
The lower display to the right is for a workstation that's used for building / maintaining our windows 10 deployment images as well as a GNS3 install that I need to find the time to use to mock-up our WAN / VPN topology.
The fireplace on the arm is a drastically underpowered 20" inspiron all in one touchscreen that had been doing nothing for years so I've taken it, put linux on it and it's just a toy / conversation piece.
EDIT: fireplace has now become an ASCII aquarium
I searched really quickly and didn't find a section or category where folks have been posting useful how-to guides or articles for the community. There are a couple of things that I've worked through lately that could probably be useful to others, just don't know exactly where to stash it on here. As an example, how to make a uefi bootable USB to automatically apply BIOS settings for Dell. In all honesty, my motivation here is as much to share with the community as have stuff like this publicly documented so I can find it if I need to re-do or update it for my own needs.

Isn't that just marketing chicken fingers to adults? :face_with_stuck-out_tongue:
@mr-jones knowbe4. They provide training modules for users as well as allow you to run simulated phishing exercises. There are other companies out there that provide the same service(s) but we're using these guys for now.
On a related subject, not looking forward to the eventual request(s) to have he/him, she/her etc added to AD and our automatically generated email signatures
Good afternoon from Eastern Canada! I'm part of the IT team for a manufacturing company with offices throughout Canada and the Eastern US. Cheers!
It feels like the OP thinks that this is a seller's forum as opposed to a group of IT professionals looking to help each other out. Or just trolling to waste time. Or a college kid who was given an assignment and is looking for us to provide the answer.

Try
SFC /scannow
If corruption is suspected, there's no harm in running chkdsk against the filesystem too.

@dafyre said in Website down, but only for organization Network:
The website goes down, or appears to for about 5 minutes. Hosting Provider assures me there is no PHP issues and everything looks to be in order.
Tricky thing is, if I take my phone off of our organizations WiFi, the site is still operational. In fact, the site never really goes down to the rest of the world.Putting these two things together, I'm going to say it's almost certainly Fail2Ban. I bet something on your network is sending a bad password automatically and causing an auto-ban for a few minutes,.
Could be a password, could just be some of the actions actions that your editor / editing is performing that are triggering rules, depending on what the setup is like on the other end. See if they can either whitelist your corp IP(s) or tune out the false-positive rule.

@Fredtx does the isolated site still exist in Sites and Services? What's the plan for that location if the ideal end goal is to have the vpn tunnel down and no site to site connection? (apologies if this was already covered)
Yes, the site still exist. I'm just confused as to why the KCC is adding the connection to the link when there is no network connectivity to that site. From my understanding, the whole purpose of the KCC is to create connections with the best paths, which this one would NOT be the best path since there's no network connectivity.
Is the defunct site's subnet set up in Sites? That's what is going to need to be changed or removed.
This is where my idea was headed, but wanted make sure that the OP realized that without AD connectivity it's going to be entirely off the domain and that his other domain machines are going to tombstone as well (if they haven't already)

@WrCombs said in Task Schedule Failed:
SO Iknow whats causing the issue, I'm just not sure how to fix it.
Windows 11 device, Task is scheduled to start a program
c:\program files (x86)\Parent Director\Subdirectory\program /switch1 /switch2 /switch3It shows Last Run results
0x4Which I find out means "System can't access path/file"I Changed user, and tried running it again (different admin user) no change, same status.
I go to CMD to see if I can path to it - Can't find path specified - tried writing it a different way (with spaces, without spaces)
Having a hard time understanding why it can't run this program - it's needed to import sales into a different system every day.
The owner of the software suggested making sure DotNetFramework 4.5 or higher was installed and repair it. which it is, 4.8 is installed currently.
Any ideas how I can resolve this?
Ideas:
1- try using single or double quotes around the path, simple way to get the "proper" path is sometimes to use tab-completion
2- if the above doesn't work, maybe try having your scheduled task call a batch or .cmd file (or powershell) which invokes the executable
Depending on your workflows it might be best / easiest to leverage the "Teams" setup and mentality. The teams to which a user belongs are automatically listed in their teams view and they can either access the team files directly within the teams app or there's an "Open in SharePoint" option.
Watch out for moving groups that are heavy excel users. It's been my experience that they love to link to external documents with drive letters or paths that will throw you for a loop and they'll deny (or be completely unaware) that's why they hate the new file setup.
Good luck and keep us posted, we've got a similar undertaking on the radar here at my new gig.

TacticalRMM is no longer completely free. It's open source, so I'm not completely unhappy about it. But it is at least $50/mo for full functionality (unless you alter the code yourself to disable the fee... which they even say that you can do.)
I don't think that the code-signed agents were ever available free of charge....
Correct, they haven't ever been.
Scott simply isn't paying attention.
Non-signed agents were available before. Now only limited platforms. It's VERY different.
Maybe something that was available in the beginning or that I missed along the way. My understanding is that TacticalRMM was only ever usable with Windows endpoints. I seem to recall reading that there was a possibility of some Linux functionality being developed but I can't recall it ever having been rolled out on Tactical. I know that the mesh agents have been available for many more platforms for quite some time, but this is the first mention I can recall seeing that TRMM was ever available for anything other that Windows.

I've gotten too used to KeePass over the years and have a hard time getting used to or trusting anything else
