Composing a company wide email about how to make sure macros are disabled inside MS Office.
Why? Use Group Policy and just do it.
One malformed GPO by my predecessor made the bosses leery of group policy. I've got them basically convinced that it isn't evil, but it's an uphill battle. And I have every confidence that the users here can manage this one.

a reminder to never click any unknown links, etc.
Sadly this isn't very useful either since you can hide the real link something is going to in most email clients.
Sure, but it only takes on person turning it back on to hose your whole system.
of course GPs can mess things up.. that's why you test things like this in a small sample group of users first

I've been testing things successfully. I think the one that went badly was really like 20 different policies in one, untested, and poorly chosen. Since macros are off by default, I'm fairly sure that everyone will have it disabled already. But I'd rather send the email than have to log into every machine as the user.

I'm copying this in case we ever get a real spam filter that can do things like replace attachments.

New thermostat is in and we have a working furnace! From what we can tell, the renters broke the furnace two or three years ago and didn't know or something. It definitely just kicked on correctly for the first time in a very long time. We have heat again.
