@dbeato said in You Have Exceeded the Maximum Number of Computer Accounts - Windows and Active Directory:

@scottalanmiller This is for a standard user without any Domain Admin Privileges. I am assuming this is for a Technician joining computers that no one wants to have admin permissions.

That would be an example case. Yes.

@dashrender said in Technologies Begging to be Ransomwared:

FYI - my experience in all of this is through the use of shares - so if shares aren't enabled.. then I'm guessing you're probably correct due to configuration.

Shares aren't on by default. But even when they are, nothing is shared out that a local non-admin user could access.

Yeah, and this is ultimately what saves you - OK now we're on the same page.

Thanks

@nadnerb said in Another Microsoft Breach, 92% of LinkedIn Users Compromised:

How did the 8% avoid being compromised?

I was wondering that.

Would something like crackmapexec do the trick? I've started playing around with it to validate that some of our security configs are actually doing what they're supposed to and it can be used to dump user lists from a lot of the native windows locations. Not sure that it would get everything that you're looking for but "hacking" tools might be something to consider in addition to the typical bevy of PS and Windows commands.

@carnival-boy said in Ransomware Isn't the Problem, IT Departments Are:

I think just blaming IT departments is harsh. I know from back when I was running IT departments that there is constant pushback from users whenever security was tightened or new policies rolled out and it is critical to make clear that security is something being pushed from the very top and not from IT. In many companies, senior executives will actively undermine IT when it comes to security - that shouldn't happen.

This is completely true. However, I am also very critical of not allowing senior management to undermine IT by making IT decisions and then claiming to not be IT. Those "senior managers" without IT, are actually the IT managers in that situation. That they try to skirt blame by claiming other titles is irrelevant. IT is who does it.

It's like plumbing. If you hire a trained electrician and then he does your plumbing, he's a plumber. He might not be a trained plumber, he might not be a good plumber, but he's a plumber.

@hobbit666 said in Raspberry Pi Blade Servers:

Out of interest what would you use this for?

One case I can think of as if you were running a 3-D printer farm. Although you might be able to run more than one printer off of one pie if you were not also running a camera.

@scottalanmiller said in Remote Hands Unifi Install in Indianapolis:

Good first project to send a middle schooler on, lol.

Make sure they're a music student though. A more dependable than the average middle schooler. 😉

We did it all remotely. Even people IN Tampa had no interest.

Good to know we got a slew of requests for a self-audit back in October, same phone number, all hit our spam filters so we ignored.

They don't display for me. When checking the browser console, I'm seeing an HTTP response of 403.

@scottalanmiller Hm... I'd thought of posting that up here but figured it'd be old news for you lassi it hounds... Good news for the battle for ROSS.

@scottalanmiller said in How to Install PHP 7.3 on Ubuntu 18.04:

I hate having to do this, but sometimes it has to be done. Here is how to get this middling PHP version onto this old version of Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php sudo apt update

I'm not sure that is the proper way to do it.
ppa are personal repositories - meaning someone put it together.

I think Ubuntu has offical backports, just like Debian.
In that case it would be better to get a the "newer" php version from the backport repository instead.

UPDATE.
It looks like the ondrej/php repository is actually maintained by a Debian developer, Ondřej Surý. He is one of the package maintainers for the official debian and ubuntu php packages.

@carnival-boy said in Free Laserdisc Collection and Two LaserDisc Players to Good Home in DFW Area:

@scottalanmiller Nice. Have fun.

Thanks. Can't wait.

@mr-jones said in SAMIT: The Roles of Web Hosting:

@scottalanmiller I don't know how new any of this is, but I'm really digging the transitions and logo stuff you got going on. It's got the RGB feel to it, but not over the top.

All that stuff is done by our marketing team in La Paz!

@gotwf said in MangoLassi: Seven Years:

@scottalanmiller Lots of newness in 16.x. Been kicking it's tires a bit myself as of late. But... ya' know... 1.17 is almost here! 😜

Congrats & Happy Anniversary!

Yeah, 17 already in beta!
