Just deployed new CentOS7 VM and fully updated (about 177 updates from ISO I had on hand) in the time it took for Windows Server 2016 to restart due to updates.

You might consider the Amplifi line. I've not used one but they get good reviews, are more home user focused, and can be configured from a mobile app.

When I take photos and videos with my Android phone, they automatically sync to OneDrive.

Every so often, I'll delete them from my phone, then sort them out in OneDrive.

Nextcloud has a feature to auto-upload pictures from iOS and Android devices, but I have never used it yet. I should probably set that up and test it out.

I've been doing this from my Android phone now ever since I setup Nextcloud a few months ago. No issues thus far. Have it set to backup once I'm connected to wifi.

Just noticed this while applying this month's patches. I know I've seen some on here complaining about the 14 character limit before, so just in case you didn't read the release notes...

Me. I tried to set the minimum password length to 16 at a client with Server 2008 R2 and found out 14 was the largest I could set it to.

I found it odd this was a Windows 10 update and not a Server or Group Policy definition update. Maybe the latest 1803 GP enable this, and they're just having to do an update to pre-1803 systems to play along? I'll have to look more into it tomorrow.

Dealing with this...

Yeah we went through this a couple months back. Office 365 tools to help detect/prevent these types of things aren't strong unless you're willing to pay for Azure AD Premium. Thankfully minimal damage done.

Did you enable MFA after that on the accounts?

We looked into MFA before this ever happened, but it doesn't seem to work well since we have Office 365 through GoDaddy. The authentication seems to run through GoDaddy first so it makes it act fairly wonky. I'm now testing a "pure" Office 365 account and going to enable MFA there to confirm my suspicions that GoDaddy is where my issues lie.

Oh okay, this account is fully Office 365.

Yeah we ended up creating some new rules as a result and learned a whole lot about all the different Office 365 relevant portals to capture logs, etc that we weren't fully aware of prior. It's really quite scattered at the moment and the ability to setup alerting is pretty weak, especially on the Azure side. Now we're having to manually check the "Users Flagged for Risk" and "Risky Sign Ins" weekly to help identify any fishy (phishy?) business.

@scottalanmiller said in I can't even:

2018 - 2005 = 25?

I've never cared for people who do the cumulative years experience. 5 guys with 5 years experience = 25 cumulative years experience. Seems deceptive.

With that being said, I don't see the fuss here. If I were to start a new business, I would say the amount of years experience I had doing the work I was doing which is exactly what they seem to be doing. In this case I know that the business has been running for 13 years but they have an additional 12 years experience on top of that.

@justin867 said in How to reinstall Windows on Dell Latitude e5450?:

Can I use the image of other Dell Laptop? I assume I will update the drivers as needed since its different laptop model.

Don't bother. Do a clean vanilla install and then just go get the drivers you need specific to your device.

If you had Windows 10 on here before, the install should validate automatically.

That all looks accurate, assuming the underlying info is accurate. Double check your Translated Destinated IP info is accurate and service group info. Also, the wizard generally does this for you but ensure that these new rules have a higher priority than any previous rules that were there. Finally, ensure that the check box is set to "Enabled" under the Firewall > Access Rules and Network > NAT Policies.

Doing my annual dance with Comcast to get ourselves back on promotional pricing. Unfortunately live in an area where it's my only viable option. These sort of tasks are made especially for Mondays.

@penguinwrangler Yes, I'm afraid so. Looking forward to another top 3 draft pick again next year. Hopefully we'll accumulate enough of those eventually to be a .500 team again.

Already mowed three or four times in South MS. Inside watching the Reds play while a storm passes. Thankfully no tornadoes this time.

@zachary715 said in Backup server comparison:

The R320 will be a slightly newer generation, but still two generations old now. I guess it depends too on how much you'll need the improved processor performance and core count. For just Veeam, I should think any of these would be fine. If you're talking about adding other VMs potentially, then the extra core count could be beneficial, but again where's your storage capacity with only 4 slots?

The R320 is newer, but what I was trying to decide how that benefits me for this specific workload. Also, much less available drives. So I am also leaning towards the R510.

I would think this only benefits you from a support standpoint. For instance, VMware 6.5 doesn't support the R710 and R510 but does support the R320. I know you're using Hyper-V and this doesn't apply, but that's the only reason I would care about the newer generation. That and newer processors which may give greater performance per core.

How much storage will this backup server require? Only 4-6 drive slots could be limiting.

The R710 and R510 look identical in specs, therefore I might would opt for the R510 with the more drive slots.

Not sure if you've checked the compliance center in O365. There are lot of audit tools available like Manage Engine o365 audit. I just found this as well (haven't tested but looks interesting)

Hey, yes I have checked the Compliance Center. I've setup some alerts from here but it's hit and miss really. Then you have the Azure portal which gives you other reports. They're scattered everywhere. I'll check out the link you referenced. Thanks

Do you guys go beyond the SPF records and also implement DKIM or DMARC? I've looked into these briefly but not much. DKIM looks fairly straightforward with Office 365.
