Fed up and frustrated with 'security walls' in place... and having to 'remote' to a computer to re-start a (poorly built) service...
Anything that I can do to manage the service on a remote computer via script is a win in my book.. so off to the Google pot again to find how I can deal with this service without 'delay'.
Enter Elevated CMD prompt and the SC command.
sc \\Remote_Device query triposservice SERVICE_NAME: triposservice TYPE : 10 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS STATE : 4 RUNNING (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, ACCEPTS_SHUTDOWN) WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) CHECKPOINT : 0x0 WAIT_HINT : 0x0Great - Glad to see the crap-nugget still running. But this give me ammo on building MY solution to have to restart this damned service on a weekly basis.
sc \\Remote_Device start triposserviceNow - just have to wait for it to 'fail' to test it as I'm not about to stop it mid day. They'd panic and call me on the phone about it.

Eh - I am up, not sure about the thinking part yet. However I have a old portable battery I may try to sort out. The 3s2p battery that was in it failed - I have plenty of batteries so I can repair and augment it's storage. but do I WANT to....

Up early on a Saturday... not sure why. Coffee is brewing and we have a bunch of duck eggs, so I think I see brunch in my future. Also have to apply a code update to our fancy, new storage appliance.

WOW..... our receptionist got spear phished hard... payed out $44k without confirming it with the owner. Granted, they did spoof the owner's email, but not his email signature. Should have caught it there. Does anyone know of a magic bullet to stop spoofing on O365?

Good question.
One think you can definitely do is turn on the notice - this email came from outside the company.
Then if this happened again - it would be a huge red flag that the "owner's" email came from outside the email system - and that should NEVER happen.
I don't know if O365 can be set to prevent the allowance of emails from the outside that appear as the same email address/displayname as an O365 user.

This requires the person receiving the email to do something... which clearly they didn't do on this email.

I'm in "The little switzerland" today (Sugarcreek, OH). Also home of the largest cuckoo clock.
Like all tourist traps, it sounds more exciting than it is.

Running around my father's neck of the woods (aka "Downhome").
Also, if you are a golfer, you should definitely play Oak Shadows (in season of course) as the first hole is a doozy.

Can't really tell from the map, but I think Watt may be in trouble -- unless Grottshankes and Eldric are fellow adventurers.

an actual conversation this morning :
Me: Hey do you have the cybera email for support? i gotta open a call about Guest wifi at this site and they control that.
CW: Well what's going on?
Me: well, i told you, guest wifi is not allowing people to connect to it. AP is online and broadcasting the wifi - there's something fishy with the site.. so do you have that support email?
CW: well did you reboot the AP?
Me: Why would I do that if it's broadcasting the wifi? the AP is doing it's job..
CW: but did you ?
Me: I found the Email Address !no, I didnt because the AP is online and broadcasting the SSID - it is when the guest tries to connect to the wifi that it gets stopped.
CW: what the hell is broadcasting the SSID?me:
-
@wrcombs You still should have rebooted it. Just because it is broadcasting, does not mean it is passing traffic.
