@scottalanmiller not really, even in DR there are shortages. Even in the UK as well.

@jaredbusch The only one static IP or IP address is what kills me and so I have to agree that is why we have been shifting to proxies recently.

We use DNS health checks for this, Route53 and CLoudFlare have this but it comes at a n additional cost.

It's likely we have all had to address this at some point in the last eighteen months or so; A person sent to work from home for whatever reason has just had their password expire. They don't expect to be back into the office for (x) number of days.

Why are they treated any different compared to any other user? You either need AD access or you don't. Working from home doesn't change that aspect.

If they work from home, authenticate to AD every day, then why can't they reset their password?

If they work from home and don't use AD for 90+ days, then why do they even have AD account at all?

Resetting a password remotely does not work automatically like it does on-site. The users have to manually do it themselves before the password expires. I'll give you one guess how many users even know how to change it manually

VPN clients have that availability, so maybe they don't have that?

I found a simple Powershell script to reset the countdown timer but it would be also helpful to be able to a expiry date. Just to make sure that my Google results are accurate - is there a process to set an actual date (time) for the password to expire. Or - as I have found / read thus far, is it only value 0 or -1?

Extend Expired Password Using Powershell:
On a machine with access to Active Directory launch Powershell as Administrator.
Run the following command to reset the pwdlastset attribute to 0.
     Set-ADUser -Identity username -Replace @{pwdlastset="0"}

Next run the command to reset the pwdlastset attribute to -1.
     Set-ADUser -Identity username -Replace @{pwdlastset="-1"}

Replace username with specified persons UserID.

Why not use the AD Connect password writeback? It would be so much better.

This will apply to Office 365 Synced with AD so yeah it is limited but it is a good way to allow the user to change their password.

@jasgot Gotcha, that is very bizarre.

@jasgot What is the Service Pack and CU Leval of that Exchange 2013 Server? What is the .NET Framework installed on this server?

M365 Business Premium

You already have Premium? Or you are just looking at the upgrade delta?

It's funny, in Central America "premium" is used as a derogatory term. It's funny to hear it in product names.

Premium is no a derogatory term in my country (Dominican Republic). It classifies as service higher than normal.

@jasgot said in My complex Windows Copy command stopped working.....:

It said Syntax Error. 0 Files Copied.

But..... now it is working.......

Well, maybe a reboot happened or it couldn't read the data and then now it can.

This started showing up this morning.
in Firefox

Chrome does this all the time. Either incognito, another browser or clearing the cache helps.

@jasgot Also take a look here.

@scottalanmiller said in Understanding STUN???:

@jasgot apparently Unifi uses STUN for some UDP traffic stuff in some cases. None of the normal stuff, must be log shipping which is a communications channel. They recommend having the port opened and forwarded. But it shouldn't cause problems. They noted that they only added the warning recently so it might have always had the issue without reporting it previously.

If by recently they mean 3 years ago, then I guess that was recent.. I've been having those errors for what seems like ages.

Correct, this has been there for ages now. STUN errors are common on Cloud Controllers which is all we have.

@gjacobse No, sounds fair to me. I have many tasks like that for Opera Systems interfaces and other poorly designed applications. Even door systems for hotels we have had to come up with that too.

I use VSCode it works well too. It has that function as well.
