      @stess said in What is it with people forcing their preferred Antivirus to other?: @scottalanmiller I treat Windows Defender like iOS mail on iPhone. It's there.. and it works... but I'll be using MS Outlook instead of native mail app. Nothing wrong with it, but it doesn't have a lot of features other competitor offers (as you have mentioned). Still, I have no intention to disable it. Ha! Perfect analogy

      @stess https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/platformspfe/2014/01/20/integrating-xaml-into-powershell/ look at this. It gives the basics of integrating XAML into a PowerShell script and might be right what you are looking for.

      You likely want to make an app that talks to email via something like IMAP and parses them that way.

      did you looked at this? it uses the Remove method and seems quite straightforward to me. You just need to rework the for loop or simply add a counter to it to know which row has to be purged.

After reading the article, and tinkering with the script, I found that I am passing the credential in the wrong function. I try to pass it in the testing, but I should have pass it in the connection phase. Also, I'm surprised this article is so easy to understand. So I guess I get the "Best answer" Yes you did

Maybe moving to local accounts would make more sense. Not a bad idea. I’ve been going that route for mobile users for awhile. How do you manage them? or do you just not worry about them? You can use IaaS such as JumpCLoud or anything else. Why replace it with another version of AD? JumpCloud is not AD.

I was just assuming since he was considering buying a used server in the first place that he may be interested in having something capable of doing more than just a NAS. I did the opposite, assumed that since he was looking at a NAS that he only wanted storage

      @dustinb3403 said in Local powershell script to pull AdObject without installing RSAT: You could try using psexec to call powershell to do this. . Just a thought where would you be calling it to? Wherever you call - you have to have the correct permissions, and the AD commandlets have to be there.

      @dashrender said in Need idea for running ethernet cable (roughly 70ft in distance): @scottalanmiller said in Need idea for running ethernet cable (roughly 70ft in distance): Consider very subtle in wall "patches." Are you allowed to do that? Not technically. But it will look nice and in an inspection, absolutely no one will figure out that you modified anything. You do them back to back in the wall so you don't need to run a cable straight through the wall. You can then use a patch cable from either side to get through the house. I had to read this a few times to get that Scott was recommending that you install ethernet wallplates on the two sides of the wall with a straight through cable between them, then you can use it as a patch and to the normal onlooker, it looks like it belongs there. That makes sense now.

      You could write-output the whole command something like: write-output "my command with all the parameters here"|out-file -filepath export.csv mycommand with all the parameters here|export-csv -path export.csv -append -notypeinformation Or something similar (code typed on the fly, likely has a syntax error or two)

These works to certain extend of what I am looking for, but it needs some tweaking to work the way I am expecting the result. Thanks! How are you wanting the result to look? The script doesn't appear to be showing false on non-inheritance. There either True or False for every member of the folder regardless of their inheritance. I am looking into this post right now as it was brought up in Spiceworks. It shows the result I am hoping for where non-inheritance = false and inherited = true. Ah, okay. I thought you wanted to only see the ones where Inherited=False... So you want to see everything, and whether or not it is inherited? Edit: Also for the CSV File generated, the layout is Folder, User, Is Inherited Is Inhertied is True or False.

      Is best and more efficient to buy a new powersupply rather than spending time on an older workstation. The fan needs to be desoldered and then solder the new one back in. That's a lot of time of labor that can readily be done with a $34 part.

Why is your admin station still Windows 7? You can upgrade for free. Once you upgrade, you'll have the latest version of PowerShell and you won't have these types of issues of compatibility. We planned for Q2 next year. We just moved into new office space, so we don't want to introduce too much changes. I'd only update your PC right now. This will let you move forward without affecting your users.

      So... here's an update. I called my local shops to get some pricing for this service... but most of them asking for $60+tax or more. The cheapest I got is $45 an hour for a somewhat shady craiglist post. My thought right now is to get a new S3 from Newegg, do a mobo swap to get the pictures out, then return the device in its original(ish) condition. What are your recommendation? I popped the broken phone opens, and I do not see any warranty sticker anywhere.... anyone has any experience on this?

      @scottalanmiller said in Changing career path.... Red hat certification?: @Kelly said in Changing career path.... Red hat certification?: @wirestyle22 said in Changing career path.... Red hat certification?: It's nice to use as an education path. I am currently studying the cert book for RHCSA/RHCE. This. I think for someone that doesn't have to use Linux on a day to day basis getting a cert delineates foundational knowledge and skills that has to be learned. http://www.smbitjournal.com/2017/04/using-certifications-to-drive-education/ Eggzactry

      I've been using FrootVPN for the past couple years or so for all occasions. I only have positive things to say... fast, reliable, very low cost, lots of servers. I started with them when they only had one server, in Sweden. Now they have a ton world wide, which is very useful while I am in Sweden... and very useful when in the States! Copy/paste from their website: ALL PLANS INCLUDE OpenVPN, PPTP, SSTP, L2TP (over IPsec) First class VPN software 5 simultaneous connections Unlimited bandwidth and speed 2048bit encryption Torrents and P2P Networks No logs 80 VPN servers worldwide Global network with 22 countries coverage

      @stess said in How to start guest VM in VMware WS Pro 12 when host poweron (no signin): @MattSpeller said in How to start guest VM in VMware WS Pro 12 when host poweron (no signin): Is this what you're talking about? Running VMWare workstation when your computer turns on (before you login) https://www.howtogeek.com/228467/how-to-make-a-program-run-at-startup-on-any-computer/ Or do you want it to load certain VM's when you power on before you login? https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2005585 AutoStart You can use the new AutoStart feature to configure shared virtual machines to start with the host system. You can also configure AutoStart for shared virtual machines on remote hosts running Workstation and ESX 4.x and later. To access the AutoStart feature: Right-click Shared VMs/Server Name/IP Address. Select Manage AutoStart VMs. To setup/configure delay between auto startup of multiple shared virtual machines: Right-click Shared VMs/Server Name/IP Address. Select Manage AutoStart VMs. Select the virtual machines that you want to auto start. Set the delay that you want for the virtual machine in the Delay between starting each virtual machine (in seconds) option available at the bottom of the window. Click OK to save the settings. Thanks! Somehow the workstation server won't run on port 443. I have to change it to 442. Then I follow your instruction and it seems to be working. Check for Skype. That one tends to grab 443 and 80 on its own.

Quality over $$: @RojoLoco said in Need advise on bluetooth receiver for aux speaker. Quality over $$: @stess said in Need advise on bluetooth receiver for aux speaker. Quality over $$: @RojoLoco I tested with internet radio and it plays for hours without interruption, but with itunes library it struggle to keep up. What a POS (the macbook/itunes part)! My music library will play uninterrupted across the whole house from a big, slow SATA drive. Did you use NAS option? On the speaker? I don't think mine has that option, might be a gen 1 model. On mine, you just point it to a network share. On Bose's app. There are 2 primary options. 1st is internet radio. 2nd is add a server. In Add a service there are options to add Amazon Music, Spotify, Pandora, etc... and connect to NAS and Using iTunes Library. Yeah, I guess that's the option I used. I didn't remember it being called "NAS" though, but my memory sucks sometimes. I think my brain translates that to "network folder". I'll look into that option. Thanks for the tips
