I have a 3D tv. I really like it and I've used it for several 3D movies. So far, the best ones are animated, like Nightmare Before Christmas and Monsters vs Aliens. It's interesting that there's such a dichotomy in 3D - we all want to see 3D movies in the theater but not at home? I'm all for the 3D experience.

That's awesome. I really hope that FE becomes more and more viable.

If the IPs are on the same subnet, it's doing more harm than good. Traffic coming in on one NIC will go out the other. Windows likes to use the lowest IP address to send data out. If you receive on 56, it will go out on 55. I've seen this happen. We have wireshark logs.

I would suggest you immediately remove or team the spare nic to increase throughput. Be sure that your network hardware supports that!

You can do a route print from the command line to see which nic is dominant.

@Tim_G I could always disable the port on the switch and if the screams come in switch it back on. Like most clients I take on the customer has zero documentation on how things are setup/configured. Maybe I'll be able to have a conversation with the old IT guy and see if he's willing to share on why things the way they are.

I'm working in an environment now with this kind of bullshit and it's almost 100% because the previous admins were /idiots./

I'm working on a program that installs, and runs, based on .net, right? It installs almost everything on the user's profile (appdata\local) and then it adds a metric shit ton of registry keys. Problem: I need this application on a VDI with linked clones and the clones don't keep the registry; I guess Persona doesn't track the registry entries from HKU?

Also, @JaredBusch, do you get some kind of kickback for referring others to T-Mobile? Such as a code or something?

Never looked if they have a referral program or not.

Just googled it, they do.

Just IM'd you.

I've been using Tmo for years and they've been fantastic. Ever since LeGere started working for them, as the CEO, things have improved a great deal. He's actively poking the bear and riling up all the other carriers.

I wish I knew about the referral program! Sad panda.

Youtube Video – [00:51..]

Deployed a WSUS GPO to a portion of the enterprise and now I'm watching machines check in. It's a little exciting because it's actually working as intended! Shit never works on the first try and this actually is.

I might need to get one of these in the near future:

Customs might have a problem with it? Tell them its your Mifi hotspot and they shouldn't have a problem with it. Business people travel with them all of the time.

They look like commercial gear, though. They don't look homemade. How it looks is all that matters to border control.

Not just border patrol.

I'm going to mention the RPI route here.

How about Raspberry Pi 3-full kit $50-100 and then OpenWRT burned to the microSD card? Only catch is that you have to shut it down before you unplug it or you risk messing the SD card. Otherwise, its pretty much plug it into the wall or USB port and your modem and your ready to go.

What's the benefit there? I was not aware that it had a switching option, where are the ports? How do I get a good antenna for it? That seems like it would be really hard to get working well.

Pi3 has the wifi built in, unlike the 2 which requires a USB wifi. You'd probably have to solder something in to add a better antenna.

@travisdh1 said in PowerShell AD Properties:

@Grey Don't you have to turn on extra logging to get that centrally? I'd hate to have to hit each endpoint to grab that bit of information like @scottalanmiller already pointed out.

Yes, it's in GPO, and it's turned on. The logs go to the event manager for each workstation, though. There's a separate log in the DC for a user authentication event.

@scottalanmiller said in PowerShell AD Properties:

Are you sure AD stores that centrally? Looks like there is no option but to loop through the machines to do it.

$Computers =  Get-ADComputer  -Filter {(enabled -eq "true") -and (OperatingSystem -Like "*XP*")} | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Name
$output=@()
ForEach($PSItem in $Computers) {
    $User = Get-CimInstance Win32_ComputerSystem -ComputerName $PSItem | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UserName
    $Obj = New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
        "Computer" = $PSItem
        "User" = $User
    }
$output+=$Obj    
}

$output

Yeah, I saw that, too. I was hoping to avoid crawling each workstation. I've seen where some people are using a logon script to dump the user detail and timestamp to a globally accessible file. That's ... less than ideal.

powershell

The following is supposed to output all the things:
Get-ADUser Grey| get-adobject -server the_DC -Properties *

The only item missing is where I logged in. How do I get that tidbit out?

Just spent an hour listening to sales stuff from Varonis.

FOr reasons that should surprise no one, this topic is under moderation. All I know is the title, and I know it will be a disaster.

I'm already confused..... are they trying to create a SonicWall Area Network?

That might be a SWAN.

My baby. That swan ate my baby. Baby, please, get out, we gotta go to State!

@Grey What functionality level is your domain at?

2008 R2, and I just checked that all the required GPO options are on so now I'm just trying to get PS written up so it'll carve through all of the logs.

Right now: struggling on a pwershell method to gather logon/off events for a domain and filter to a user while showing the machine used.
