I am dealing with random reboots after updates last night even though my GPO active hours are between 7 AM and 7 PM and Default maintenance is set to 2AM and the computers are still rebooting... Windows 10 Pro with WSUS....

Are you using any monitoring software? My boss used something (I forget the name of it) and it actually out-prioritized those settings. Turned automatic updates on and everything.

If any app sends a reboot signal with proper privs, it's going to reboot. Those other settings won't apply. It's like hitting the reboot button.

In my case it was triggering reboots due to updates and ignoring GPO

Normal updates, or a third party app running updates and then rebooting?

I don't think Google Chrome is a wrapper on top of Safari on iOS.

It is, all alternative iOS browsers are.

Anyone seen ExaGrid pricing?

That price is incredible. $1 for a DID and $.007 per minute for most calls. That's hard to beat. No line cap is cool, do they offer a pay ahead plan so that you have a cap on your spending in case of security issues?

Overall, are you having a good time? how are the drinks, food and parties?

@Dashrender it's big, for sure. Storage isn't just a big pool for mapped drives any more. Now users control complex sharing relationships. More power, less centralized control.

Conversation excerpt:

CEO: Has [Director of Sales] been in touch regarding our [new sales person] who will be starting on [date]?
Me: I know not.

Tell him to put in a ticket.

Back to learning how to configure my test hyper-v host to initiate an iSCSI session using PowerShell.

With Starwind?

IBM was showing off their insane scale robot at VeeamOn, it was nifty.

Was it one of those room-sized vaults?

Rack sizes. Still quite impressive.

That'd be even more total storage than the room size ones I used to see advertised back in the late 90s!

Single tapes today probably hold more than that!

Great news.

@Farhad-Farahmand said in Elastix Call Back Feature:

only for internal calls . not inbound call or outbound call . simply you are calling my extension number . i am busy on another call . once i get free my extension should call your extension at that time .

Still, it would potentially be ringing people and interrupting them and then have no one calling them. How would that work?

So looks like HP released a patch for this https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/hardware/hp-releases-driver-update-to-remove-accidental-keylogger/

So most vendors have something on their machine, previously Lenovo, now HP. Getting any machines from a vendor, first thing should be wipe it and install a pre tested, custom build, hope that solves all such issues and guess most companies are already doing it

The problem is that they've taken to adding the stuff you don't want into system drivers. Issue a travelling worker a laptop without sound working? Good luck with that!

Or into the BIOS!

Inquiring minds want to know.

Club de Cuervos

Good show.

So you want the call to happen even without someone dialing from extension A? You want both phones to ring at once? What if the person at extension A gave up and left, or is on another call?

@Kelly said in HP Laptops Found with Keylogger Built Into Audio Driver:

So I have a Spectre 360 and it has the MicTray64.exe, associated process, and the logfile in C:\Users\Public\MicTray.log. The log file is zero bytes though and appears to be empty. I'm wondering if it isn't logging, or if the list of affected machines is longer than officially announced.

The driver is Conexant via whomever it's hardware ends up on.

Does that mean that other vendors might have this too? I mean, it might, that we know. But why has only HP been discovered thus far? Is it an HP version of the driver? Is it HP unique hardware?

I'm not liking any of these options. . .

Multi-colored duct tape?

Leopard print?
