I forget off the top of my head which device it is,

The UniFi Access system consists of four elements:

UA Controller: The control center for your Access system, hosted on the UniFi Dream Machine Pro (UDM-Pro). Your UA controller is easily upgradable and offers a host of features that simplify access policymaking as well as personnel, space, and device management.

UA-Hub: A secure I/O hub that authenticates inputs registered by your Access readers (UA-Pro & UA-Lite), push buttons, and sensors. Your UA Hub can also control door locks, alarms, and motorized door openers.

UA-Pro and UA-Lite: The Access system's card or motion reading devices that unlock doors with a swipe of an NFC card or NFC-enabled mobile phone. Please refer to the Current and Future Access Modes section below for more information on current and future access methods.

UA-Card: A NFC card that is specific to your Access system and encrypted with a special algorithm that cannot be replicated, unlike other NFC cards. Your Access system will support any NFC card, so you can retain your current access cards.

It was the Dream Machine Pro I was thinking of. The reviews I've seen all say that if you have to buy a Dream Machine Pro just for the access control that you're better off going with the competition who's overall price will be lower.

That applies if you aren't planning on using the other stuff the Dream Machine is capable of. It's a single device that can manage all of your AP's, Security Cameras, Door Access and soon VoIP. Depending on the use I would think it would be worth it provided you are getting the functionality you want out of it.

That's sounding like a great product for the home, I'll have to keep my eye on them.

It's really not. Think of your home like a business. This is a product for a business that has confused itself with a home.

Sounds like it's not a product for business

It is not, probably not even a serious house product, just something that looks neat to play with (expensive toy.)

What even makes it look neat? To me, being junk, makes it far less interesting than normal gear. Like you are used to a Ferrari and then someone comes along with this Yugo. Yeah... not interesting, at all. Not even as a gadget, because there's nothing special, just crappier versions of what we already use.

Normal people see SPOG and just love it.. one ring to rule them all - that's what makes it 'neat'
neat doesn't make it good or worth while.

Like humans with rings of power. So lame.

Yes. Google is your friend. Millions of examples.

I don’t disagree,.. but at the time, wasn’t in the position to do so,.. still not really...

No worries. That link I posted is a good place to start. It has several one liners that may help you.

I'm guessing the sort by date is an error that has crept in (like the overlapping printer issue they had for over 3 years).

I've noticed it shorts by date for the last several months or more... in my case it has worked out, but I can see where others wouldn't want it.

As it turns out, it is called

Text with Layout

It uses txtlyt32.cnv which is in the (x86)\common file\Microsoft shared\Textcnv

It is a standard MS-DOS text file with layout, or fixed columns.

@gjacobse said in Control network shares with DNS-:

This is a new one on me,.. I don’t have much more than this;

. State has AD tree with multiple domains.
. Network shares ‘require’ local DNS record for a agency domain.
. Displayed list shows servers and IPs and Host A record

I’ve never heard of controlling shares with DNS. I may be able to get more information from that team, but they are in the middle of a pilot user domain to domain migration.

Shares may be assigned to users via GPO and restricted to certain computers (here's your need for DNS).
OR they may be using AD and GPO to create shares on remote computers.

GPO Loopback is for the first option:

Nope.

But if the M.2 is completely dead it won't power up at all.

Right, that's what it is booting from to run DART.

@gjacobse said in SCCM: Configuration Manager Properties; Run all actions:

We have noticed that unless you run all actions in SCCM:CM on the PC, it doesn’t update correctly.

While I can go to CMP in Control Paul and select/run each is there a way to run this from the CLI?

Asking as I am also searching,..

Yes- there is, in PS.

Found on poweshellbros.com. Update later when I can

@dbeato said in M.2: Initialize Drive:

@gjacobse At this point if data is important you should use a data recovery company to see if they can get the drive and then you can decrypt it.

Yup-
State device no my problem anymore.

@scottalanmiller said in VULTR NJ location: Partial Power failure.:

But how did you determine that? I just looked at my servers and their specs only match server class Xeon processors (Skylake 16MB L3) so not sure how it is possible for them to be consumer.

I don't remember exactly. A couple of years ago you could determine that there was actually no xeon of that architecture that would fit with the GHz. Since they are obscuring the actual CPU in their linux kernel you can't read the model number outright. I going from memory here, but that was the gist of it.

Honestly the best thing in my opinion is put k3os on it and run the stuff in a single node Kubernetes cluster. You'll get experience with k8s and the applications use very little resources when deployed this way.

@Obsolesce said in PXE Boot & Software deployment:

@gjacobse said in PXE Boot & Software deployment:

What is your preference on PXE Boot deployment and software deployment?

SCCM and Software Center seem to be a joke here. Although it could be the team responsible for managing it.

We have a tremendous amount of issues with PXE Boot deployments, not installing the right image and thus nothing is installed or installed right ( Office 365, Adobe, VPN software, etc).

If the agent isn’t right you delete from ADUC and SCCM and start over..

We are lucky if Software Center works,... some times.

Published software packages break on a regular basis, aren’t available to install due to GPO, and you can’t run it ( that my group has found) in an elevated state for applications the user doesn’t see; not all applications are published to everyone...

We use Intune for ~10k devices across a handful of countries and is working great for device and software deployment.

I agree with this. Intune is replacing SCCM functionality in the best way possible.

But I know what you mean and I've seen it before. But I'm trying to reproduce it now and can't.

Same. I just tried also. Annoying as hell when I know I have seen it.

No kidding, I know I've seen it too.

I know I've seen that happen before as well, so make that 3. I just don't have time to look at the moment.

@gjacobse said in Fail2Ban: Failed to access sock path:

Since that is a screen shot, it appears that some parts of the code is cut off.

You are not listening. I said previously posted.

Thus, you need to look before that.

There in the actual .local file I did post, you will see an action listed. In the settings of said action is one of those options.

I posted that screenshot of with the intentional size because it contains the comment regarding what each does as well as the format.

Actually, I was and am listening. When I you are working from a 6.5” diagonal screen as I have been, you likely miss a bit of information.

That said - not that it likely makes any difference.

I was a little bored, so here you go:

## Example drive letter selection # Only allow X, Y or <enter> do{Write-Host -NoNewline -ForegroundColor Cyan "What drive letter do you prefer as a backup?" $letter = (Read-Host -prompt "(X) or Y?").ToUpper()} while ($letter -notin @('x','y','')) # This sets the default to X, allowing the user to simply press enter if X is OK. if($letter -eq ''){$letter = 'X'} # Now set the drive letter. New-PSDrive –Name $letter –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\\server\backup” –Persist -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

Basic drive letter set is done, but we can be more complicated:

# Do actions based on a user that has an network location from IP. $ipaddr = Get-NetIPAddress|?{$_.SuffixOrigin -eq "Dhcp" -and $_.AddressState -like "*preferred*"}|select -ExpandProperty ipaddress # Set the preferred drive letter. $letter = X If($ipaddr -like '192.168.0.*'){ New-PSDrive –Name $letter –PSProvider FileSystem –Root “\\alpha\backup” –Persist -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "You're in Alpha!`nBackup drive connected to Alpha site.`nHave a sumptuous day!" } # if you have more networks, insert here with more if statements.

@VoIP_n00b post using the phone, couldn’t edit after, then forgot when got to a computer.

I use it in pfsense router. It works against script kiddies, bots/botnets, at least partially. It's just another layer of security. And like it was mentioned before, it reduces log noise, with almost no effort.
