@Dashrender I didn't realize you still had a problem with KB4515384 as you never mentioned KB4515384 in the thread. It fixed it for me.

I haven't. This freshly installed machine (last tuesday) was the first time I've ever run into this issue.

Which frankly is surprising considering I am using a cleanup script that does disable Cortana... so I should have possibly been having this problems since the first patch issue...

@Pete-S Using a bullet point in a damn folder or file name is not at all normal!

Just discovered that someone on this forum was sending us files with bullet points in their names. But they are printable in our systems and cause no issues.

What file system are you using, some of the bullet points I've found are for actually creating the blip noises on archaic systems.

Don't know, our storage is a cloud platform.

@black3dynamite No change, still getting a blank connection.

Just a black session.

You need to put a route on the ASA so it knows how to get to VLAN 6

something like

route add 10.12.10.0/24 10.12.0.2

This is an example of a jbod expansion chassi. 88 drive bays total (both front and back).

Data flows between the server and the jbod chassi over SAS cables. Only thing needed to use a jbod chassis is a RAID/HBA card in your server with external ports.

Notice the SAS connectors to the right of the power supplies. Usually several JBODs can be connected together, aka daisy-chained, without putting more RAID cards in the server.

Same thing on Yealink SIP-T42S 66.84.0.80.

I'm out of easy ideas. I've been on site at a location all day.

Mine doesn't show it too.

@PhlipElder

YES YES YES SCREW AWS, they have this big marketing scheme for CEOs that force us to work for those CEOs that believe everything is better in AWS, and the server wont work properly unless its AWS, then when the bill comes we have to explain to them that we can never calculate the cost accurately cause it is Amazon AWS, and they charge for IOPS, and there is no way I can calculate that shit, its meant to be bill sinkhole for to pay bezos divorce settlement .

The Great Firewall of Cloud Marketing has done a great job of suppressing the billing shock that cloud brings with it. It's also been great at suppressing the movement back on-premises where costs are fairly well established.

We have a client we work with that has a handsome cloud credit every month well into five figures. They did some testing for their application work in-cloud to see how it would work. They burned through that five figure credit in a matter of a few days much to their surprise. They put their workload into that cloud, get it up and running, and then the following year that credit disappears. So, they get a billing spike on top of the six figure count it would cost them to run entirely all-in. We have a high performance all-flash hyper-converged solution set just for them. 🙂

@Dashrender GP is working, but I get errors. Some of which I believe are related to syntax changes from 2008 to 2016.

How about rebuilding one of the GPs, then disable the old one and enable the new one, and test?

Yeah I'm working through it slowly. It's applying most. I just see some errors I am trying to diagnose

Manual rebuild might be necessary.

Working with a vendor we use for special projects like this today. Definitely possible

@Dashrender said in How to possibly download older version of Windows 10:

https://winaero.com/blog/download-windows-10-version-1809-iso-images-directly/

This link walks you through tweaking Chrome on MS's page to look like you're using an iPAD Pro to download 1809 or 1903 directly.

So to summarize - if you just change the user agent in the browser, so Microsoft don't think you're running Windows, you can download iso-files directly.

Aka user agent spoofing.

Download link is:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO

With Firefox you can just goto about:config and add a specific user agent string for microsoft.com by adding:
general.useragent.override.microsoft.com
And set it to this for example:
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; U; CPU OS 3_2_1 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.10 (KHTML, like Gecko) Mobile/7B405

@garak0410 said in SpiceWorld 2019:

I'd love to see the Spazmatics again at the party but sounds like it may be country / western music. But I could be wrong...

They like to bring back popular bands, but traditionally not back to back years. So I'd expect someone else this year. Although C/W seems like a very unexpected selection.

No dice just yet, finishing a beer and headed home. Going to see if this can get resolved tomorrow.

@brandon220 Nice site, thanks for the recommendation.

Worth noting on this that while sync works, copy is the much safer option.

So

rclone copy source:/path dest:/path is what I'll likely end up using. In any case, the resulting solution still works.

Still need to tweak OSX a bit as it seems to kill the SSH session after some time for sporadic reasons - still testing but I may end up having to add ServerAliveInterval 120 to /etc/ssh/ssh_config to resolve that issue.

@marcinozga said in Evaluating Defender ATP:

I was about to evaluate it to, I had a webex session with Microsoft sales, and while it looks nice, it doesn't really offer anything special over other solutions. And it's expensive, really expensive. Perthaps sales mislead me but we either had to subscribe to O365 E5 or M365, or get Windows 10 Enterprise licenses. It worked out to being 15-18 times more expensive than 3rd party antivirus solution.

Not sure how did they gave you that info! An average pricing structure as below

7455634e-b366-4cb5-af6e-859115ac1fcd-image.png

And security products straight from O365 admin portal subscriptions page:
560b3413-64e4-4a77-9b6c-27030798a842-image.png

These are prices IF you already have one of their subscriptions. If you don't need them or have something else, you're paying $15-$20 per month per endpoint. That's how much it costs per year if you go with other av vendor.

But as mentioned - $15-20 per year is only for typical AV, not an ATP product.

And the difference between the two is.....? ATP is really just a marketing phrase at this point. Here are some features from "traditional" av:

malware protection, both behavioral and definition based ransomware protection phishing protection ids/ips device control exploit blocker botnet protection web filtering memory analysis central management, either cloud or local

And a full forensics audit trail?

I'm really curious which ones have this stuff for 15-18 times less the cost of Defender ATP?

I'm having a hard time finding what the real price here is?

I know that Intune is like $4/user/month. aka $48/user/year. this makes it 2-3 times more expensive than typical AV packages - of course, it gives you a lot more features at that price point.

The above posts have a dozen different security things listed.

As @marcinozga says, typical AV with many of the above mentioned features (but not all - and full forensics trails - forget about it) for like $15-20/user/year

ATP is not available if you have just Intune, you need O365 or M365 Enterprise subscriptions, or Windows 10 Enterprise.
O365 E3 is $20/mo plus ATP add-on, I think it's $2/mo. I don't know how much is Win 10 Ent, so I'm guessing O365 E3 is the cheapest route, at $22/mo, that's $264 a year. Depending on number of endpoints you can get AV for $15/year, perhaps even less.

That's an unfair assessment. If you already have O365 E3, then it's only $24/year/user

Also - is O365 E3 the requirement, or can you add ATP onto E1?

Is windows 10 Enterprise a requirement of ATP? Things I was reading last night never mentioned that.

It is fair. What if you don't have O365 because you don't need it or use something else? Other AV don't force you to buy any extra services, you can get AV on a plain vanilla Windows machine.

From the document I got from Microsoft, E3 is minimum. It's O365 E3 or Windows 10 Ent.

If you're not in the O/M365 ecosystem already - then you likely wouldn't even consider this plan, you would likely look at another option... so yeah, it's not a fair comparison.

Now, you could decide, since you are looking at this solution, that you might want to change your other solutions at the same time since MS has these bundled together... but you don't just line item this entire cost all on the ATP project, you split it out.

DNS server is at 10.50.235.235

Configure your computer to look to 235.235 for DNS... and configure the DNS server at 235.235 to forward anything it doesn't recognize along to your Meraki?

I added 235.235 as an additional DNS in the 250.254 network.

I tried this yesterday but silly me forgot to "refresh" the NIC so it could grab the new settings.

All is good & working.

I realize that this is tangential, but....
The area around Portland is awesome. I used to spend a lot of time there in the 80's.
I've had lunch at the Timberline Lodge on Mount Hood, cruised the Columbia River Gorge, stopped at Multnomah Falls, the fish ladder at the dam, Pittock Mansion, the Grotto, the navy shipyards, .... there's a lot to do. The scenery is great.

Never mind, twas a permissions issue.
