, it's always best to find what Dell part number works.

it's not worth it, sata is sata. no reason to use m.2 when a 2.5 form factor will be just as fast.

That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that as a general rule you need to look at the Dell's part number to find parts from other manufacturers that are compatible.

But yes I agree that sata is sata. For a desktop/laptop nvme or sata ssd doesn't matter though. Only matters in benchmarks.

That's the answer!

Can you please stop link dumping as a new thread?
It's spam.

It's bad enough when people do it in the news threads.

@dave247 said in best way to map various combinations of mapped drives to AD users?:

Problem: we have about 10 different shared folders as mapped drives and a handful of simple bat scripts used as AD logon scripts for users...

I think it would make more sense to just have one mapped drive and use sub directories for each department. That's probably how the files are organized anyway - at least judging from the looks of it.

The users that have permissions to a particular directory can use it and the other can't. That way you don't have to mess with the different drive mappings because everyone get the same one drive.

This also also how I have seen organizations with many departments do it. They basically use one drive mapping per entire file server. Everyone has gets the same shared drive(s) but permissions determine what directories they can access. It's more flexible to do it like that.

Yes actually that's one plan I've had for a long time, just haven't gotten around to doing it mainly since it will disrupt everyone's workflow for a bit.

If you have the directory structure in place, you could do it by adding the new drive share for all departments. Give people a couple of weeks to start using it and then slowly start to remove the older shares one by one. That will force everyone to migrate to using the new share - but not everyone at the same time.

@stacksofplates docker is worse than reddit. I can’t believe you would suggest such hot garbage.

How is it garbage @VoIP_n00b ? It is quite possible if someone wants to run their Controller as a container. I am not sure why you are also comparing Reddit with Docker, what is the comparison?

I think it's an attempt at trolling.

As a pratical way you would have centralized printing on a CLoud Service but with Windows Servers then you will have to manually match and correct or somehow script it.

@dbeato Thanks. I'll give this a try over the weekend.

Does the patch management in Tactical work or are those buttons just placeholders?

It works. On the demo it appears to be disabled

Have you actually tried it?

Yes I set it up in my lab and used it on some equipment/vms without issue.

I meant have you tried the patch management function?

Yes.

And the machines got patched?
Mine isn't working, that's why I'm asking.

Yeah mine did.

Ditto. Just have to invoke the scan or setup some automation

I have been using proxmox and XCP-NG for quite a while now with no issues. Whats your view on this move made by Microsoft. You have support until 2024 on the 2019 edition.

This is sad, but not surprising. You pay per core per month for Azure stack HCI (the replacement) according to what I found quick.

it does have one line that removes a port

@dbeato said in MS O365 Autodiscovery: Failing:

@dustinb3403 What do you mean disabling autodiscover for a user? Are you talking about a registry key?

No, within O365 you can either selectively disable authentication protocols because you're a glutton for punishment or you can do so with conditional access policies or Security Defaults.

Well you can disable Autodiscover as a whole organization through the modern authentication setting, however in order to have conditional access you have to have higher licensing than normal which is why I am confused at the disabling comment.

Just a P2 license to setup a conditional access license for the administrator account(s). The user accounts don't require this level of licensing.

Why is it a confusing question?

@DustinB3403 I'd love to hear your thoughts so you downvoted my post. I have no problem debating you and anytime I downvote you it is because I don't agree with you. You also know that I upvote you as well even if we aren't best buds 💔

Any vote of yours that I've downvoted is because what you said is wrong or at a minimum disagree. You've been downvoting people out of spite, unless you have a really good argument to what I've posted then I recant the above statement and welcome your debate.

Also everyone that's downvoted you except maybe @stacksofplates has downvoted me before when they disagreed with stuff I've said. @JaredBusch @Obsolesce , @travisdh1 but they've had a reason or an argument to why they've disagreed with me. That's how it's supposed to work.

but the OP isn't looking for that.

Not sure why this is assumed. I took it to mean they wanted similar features of a pihole which include adding specific filters and reports.

Sorry, that was ambiguous. I meant that he wasn't looking "for the pihole", not that he was or wasn't looking for the whitelist/blacklist features.

I just meant that PiHole with CloudFlare was an obvious, super cheap, perfect solution - but the OP didn't want it so would need something to replicate it without being it in name.

Ah ok, no prob.

@mmicha said in Where to start...:

Build out a site to site to a their datacenter and slowly build / upgrade things.

A lift and shift can be a good idea. But it isn't very likely. Taking applications that aren't well maintained on premises and just shifting them off premises is just "moving" a problem, it isn't addressing it in any way.

That doesn't mean that you might not benefit from keeping these applications in this way. It's not to say that colocation is bad. But you can't start with the assumption that the "less common" solution will automatically be the right one with no evaluation at all.
