    • RE: GPO question

      @JasGot Correct, only BYOD on a separate VLAN/wifi for students.

    • RE: GPO question

      @Dashrender said in GPO question:

      If the machines are BYOD, how are your users trying to change their passwords?

      Can they do it on the OWA portal?

      They definitely wouldn’t be able to do it via cntrl +alt+del

      Correct, as they are BYOD, they have to change it in OWA. However, they get the message that they haven't hit the complexity rules. These are new users, never before created, never before logged into a machine on the network.

      @WLS-ITGuy said in GPO question:

      I just created our new incoming first year students and was testing one of them out and they cannot change their password. I looked and I do not have any GPO that says they cannot change their password. I don't have a default domain policy enabled either. I have the GPOs set in the groups.

      How can I figure out what is not allowing the student to change his password?

      The default policy has a minimum age of 1 day. They cannot change their password for 24 hours after you create the account or reset their password in AD.

      Default policy (was testing) is actually disabled and no other GPO has password settings.

    • RE: GPO question

      Let's add to this, all students are BYOD but have access to our Exchange server only.

      All domain users who have a PC can change their password through the change password option on a windows machine.

      Also, those domain users get prompted to follow the complexity rules.

      @WLS-ITGuy said in SFTP fails after 7GB:

      @scottalanmiller I figured it out.. I formatted the drives wrong and made separate partitions for /Var, /home, etc

      Ah yeah, almost always best to avoid that. So I assume that whatever filesystem you were using was full?

      You are correct sir!

    • SFTP fails after 7GB

      I am uploading a zip file to a local debian server and after 7gb of 19gb the connection drops. I am using cyberduck.

      Is there a threshold or timeout?

      @WLS-ITGuy said in Exploring VitalPBX:

      Rather than create a new thread, would I be correct that any hardware that works in FreePBX also works in VitalPBX?

      I have a Sangoma wanpipe card that connects into our PRI and before I break things and move to VitalPBX I'd like to know for sure that it works.

      Curious why you're switching?

      Not 100% on switching but would like to test. Before I tested it all and possibly found I liked it better I wanted to make sure the hardware I was using worked.

    • Close ports on Linode Debian

      Hello all,

      I have been trying to figure out what firewall I have on our Debian host but cannot. I did a port scan and found that we have some ports open that I want to close as I know we don't use any of them.

    • RE: Laptop trying to factory reset itself

      @kamidon said in Laptop trying to factory reset itself:

      @WLS-ITGuy Ah ok. If it seems to stall on that screen, let's make sure the computer is completely off.
      So hold the power button down for 10 seconds, unplug and take the battery out.

      Put the battery back in, plug in the power, and turn it back on.
      Since it's an older laptop, maybe make several sandwiches or knit a sweater or two. 😉

      Sorry - I was posting that I was doing the 1903 upgrade as I thought the OP posted that he had just done that.

      maybe it's going through the setup after 1903 install?

      I'm finishing up a 1903 upgrade right now. I'll see if it does this...

    • RE: Wide ransomware virus infection sourced from 3rd party IT's remote agents.

      @scottalanmiller said in Wide ransomware virus infection sourced from 3rd party IT's remote agents.:

      @Fredtx how did it get determined that it was their agents that did it and not just a coincidence or something?

      We received several support calls from the whole Oregon area and that was one of the common denominators for all the computers that were infected with that variant. I for one hand did not work with the customer, but that's what our techs saw and found. Tbh, I'm trying to understand how that could happen when most of the ransomware cases involves a self executable file.

      If it was a vulnerability in the agent wouldn't that fall on the responsibility of the MSP's software vendor?

      Yes.

      Also talked about here.

      Ahh, so server hardware failure. A little surprised it is only running on one server/VM. Not because there is a need to do otherwise but because it could :grinning_face:

      is it worth the expense just because it can?

      Always 😉
