@scottalanmiller said in What Happens When Microsoft Doesn't Issue Licenses:

So the reset and query tool that Microsoft provide do not work (they don't claim that they do in 2016, just that they thought that they would.) They report that all is well, and then RDS fails anyway. So there is both the licensing issue, and an issue with a lack of working tooling.

Next time do it properly?

And not use Microsoft? We did everything we were supposed to do, Microsoft messed it up. Short of not using anything that depends on Windows, what's the solution? Right now Insight and Microsoft are still going back and forth blaming each other.

Unfortunately, not using Windows isn't something we control. But without being able to control that, having a reliable product isn't always something IT determines.

@wirestyle22 said in Mitigating Nextcloud Two Factor Authentication Error:

I upgraded Nextcloud and for some reason two-factor authentication activated on my admin account. Since I couldn't access my admin account I needed to find a way via cli to disable two factor authentication, but because it wasn't configured there was no folder in /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps for me to rename, etc. Below is the command I found that worked for me.

sudo -u apache php occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

Note: You have to run the command as apache, or if you're using Debian www-data.

You also need to be in the right folder

By default on Fedora

cd /var/www/html/nextcloud

Or

sudo -u apache php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

@dbeato That's pretty cool to actually work with that technology. I'm kind of jealous!

I didn't like it though, nothing like breaking a cassette...

And they are so slow. You really don't know slow until you use an audio cassette for data storage. They actually recorded audio and played it back, and it is obviously linear. So image the worst, old floppy ever, now imagine that you couldn't use a table of contents but had to do everything at half speed, and sequentially! What might take three minutes with an old floppy could be 30 minutes with a cassette!

@flaxking said in Why mostly people hire Developers from India?:

Offshoring junior Devs that will end up always being junior Devs is a good way to make your senior developers have to work harder and give them incentive to find a new company.

LOL, and so true.

It depends if you are using an agent or just rsyslog. Rsyslog can do tls and compression but not sure if you can cache until the remote server is back up, you would have to be sending over tcp for it to be able to verify. It can do tcp but I don't know if it has built in mechanisms to cache until the remote returns. The best way to handle it with just rsyslog is to have multiple syslog servers (Graylog) to send to and then they store in their backend (Elasticsearch in the case of Graylog).

@JaredBusch said in Wazuh Agent Install - CentOS:

Why are you disabling agent updates?

Wazuh doesn't understand how to maintain their own repository, so when OSSIM updates their stuff, it breaks Wazuh. It's silly, easily fixable, and I don't have the time to maintain the thing myself.

A simple scheduled task to run a simple PoSh script would be easiest IMO.

@travisdh1 said in Deepin 15.9 Installation Screens:

Am I the only one that still missed text mode installers? Probably.

I do find it funny, that they all have gui installers when everything is cli, out of the box.

Deepin is a desktop only, never meant to be a server or command line, though.

It sucks that you cant create rules by group yet. The devs have submitted a feature request for it on my behalf so hopefully soon 🙂

@JaredBusch said in ScreenConnect agent on Fedora fails rpm install:

rpm -U ConnectWiseControl.ClientSetup.rpm

ConnectWise Control version 19.0.23234.7027 resolved the failure to update. but they neglected to remove the old screenconnect version as the new install is named connectwisecontrol

If the client isn't connecting at N or AC, you won't get higher speeds. If the client hardware is capable, you can try modifying the adapter properties and forcing the preferred band.

Just an FYI - Whenever I see weird issues with Wifi affecting a single client, I usually find that the client is a Windows device that has been using sleep mode. Sleep causes speed issues and other weird issues like connecting not being able to connect to a VPN but no issues connecting to the internet.

That makes a little more sense. They've negotiated a deal with Microsoft from the sounds of it.

No, way, way more likely they just figured out how hard it is to get caught.

I totally doubt anything like that is going on here. I have been told our annual budget for licensing which we pay is in the region of £600,000. Either way, not my problem 🙂

Wow. But, sounds like only that high because they don't know what they are using, lol. The only way to get licensing truly down is to know what you use. Someone is both ignoring what is used, but also encouraging unlimited use. Both things set MS up to just keep making it more and more expensive. It's a trick, sounds easy, but makes one lazy licensing person encourage not keeping licensing lean - basically giving Microsoft the power to charge anything that they want down the road.

Yeah, not your problem, but definitely a symptom of management issues and a lack of clear thinking. If they are truly paying their bills, my guess is a licensing "specialist" who has created their own job and knows if MS isn't used heavily, their job would go away, so is doing stuff to encourage you to lock in MS so that that specialist can't be eliminated. Basically creating their own job.

Yeah, I don't disagree with anything you said. It's just not my issue. I still get to buy shiny new toys 🙂

No it hasn't.

It has, we started getting the error several days ago.

DTMF

Is that on the ext in advanced? It's set to RFC4733

Both the Phone and Asterisk have settings for this. They need to match.

They do, we checked that last night.

@DustinB3403 said in How to configure SSH Keys for Nessus:

Isn't this step redundant?

sudo mkdir /home/scan_user/.ssh sudo chown -R scan_user:scan_user /home/scan_user

As ssh-keygen will create these directories and set the ownership?

It certainly does on Fedora.

Great Job @EddieJennings !!, Really liked the flow and tempo of the video 😃

Thanks 😄
