@Mario-Jakovina said in Should I give my SSN to a U.S. Senator?:

I am not US citizen, but I do not see what is a big deal about giving your SSN to anybody?
Isn't it just a unique number of a citizen in public records? It is not some secret code, right?

They're not even unique!

SSN are not supposed to be used as an ID, but they are used as a form of ID a LOT.

Side question: When does 23.04 get moved into LTS mode?

@BraswellJay said in What determines the interface that SIP RTP streams over ...:

@BraswellJay

I finally figured out what was causing my issue.

In FreePBX under Settings->Asterisk SIP Settings there is a parameter to set the External Address used. I had this still set to the public IP of the original interface. Once I changed that parameter to the public IP of the new interface then all started to work over the new interface as expected.

Glad you sorted it out. Good work!

@Dashrender I concur about the Networking Essentials material. Good then and lot of it still relevant today. 😉

@ITivan80 said in What are you using to open HEIC files?:

Maybe you want to try the following software:

I have done this many time and it has worked.

We have an Adobe subscription. I hadn't even thought of running a batch on the .HEIC files to convert them. It's something to look into thanks!

Not totally certain on this, but here are some additional factors.

Thus far, the following has been working:

Outlook

Rename OST file and allow to rebuild

Word, Excel, etc

Sign out of the O365 account Delete all O365 / Office saved credentials Delete all folders that end with CACHE in the %localappdata%\Microsoft\Office\16.0\ Delete Word Normal.dotm Delete the Auto Correct file (no aways) at C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Office - generally just deleted them all Sign into Office using Word or Excel

@Pete-S said in HTML Form filling Integrating through GCP Serverless:

API integration that allows you to submit tickets directly from other places, like a website.

How to create an api to send the email to the helpdesk email from the google form?
Here the user send an email to helpdesk email to create a ticket for their daily issue

API is the last resort and only needed in special cases.

And you don't need google forms at all.

Helpdesks like zendesk, freshdesk, zoho desk etc have widgets. It's some html/javascript you insert into your web site and a customizable form will appear.

When the user submits the form a ticket will be created with all the right information in the proper fields.

Search for the name of your helpdesk and widget and you'll find it.

My point is not being registered.

That's why I asked you straight up multiple times to state your point (goals) clearly so that we'd know what we were talking about. Like I did for you.

@gjacobse I'm setting one up in our lab today and as a basic SMB router with VPN capabilities its OK. Compared to an ER-L I'd probably stick with the EdgeRouter.

@Ambarishrh said in MDM for Windows and Mobile Devices | Mobile Device Management?:

@scottalanmiller said in MDM for Windows and Mobile Devices | Mobile Device Management?:

I've got a customer that needs MDM that is able to lock down devices to the point of controlling what websites that they can visit. It's a small user pool, just two corporate devices that will be off network, but we'd like a lot of control on these devices. They are for singular purpose, essentially.

The company has a number of mobile devices that are less important but they'd like MDM for them as well.

Ideally a single solution that allows us to manage everything off network in a single pane of glass is ideal. What options do people know and/or recommend for something like this?

I personally use MS Intune for device management, but please look at Manage Engine MDM and is free for 25 devices https://www.manageengine.com/mobile-device-management/?pos=MEhome&loc=ProdMenu&cat=UEMS

Oh, we use Zoho a lot too. Great tip, free for 25 gets us a LONG way!!

@CCWTech said in Windows defender quarentined my VM... WTH?:

Server down this morning...
VHDX File is just gone... It's missing...
I found out that Windows Defender had detected it was (or had) a virus and quarantined it...

How Windows defender even would ever quarantine a VHDX is beyond me.

Come on Microsoft!

That's odd. VHD/VHDX files are NOT ever scanned by the host, unless of course they are mounted in the same way as a disk or USB disk is to the host OS for example. Otherwise, they are treated like a black box. So something else had to have happened for it to be quarantined by the host OS. That doesn't just happen willy-nilly.

Additionally, VM files are automatically excluded when the Hyper-V server role is installed. So again, something isn't configured correctly or something weird is going on.

What happened to you isn't default behavior.

Not sure, we 'inherited' the server. We don't do HYPER-V any longer. Everything is KVM now. (Proxmox)

But it was for sure quarantiined. Funny thing is that Windows defender scan of the actual VM shows no virus... So weird.

My guess would be that the VM's AV cleaned it up separate from the host's AV killing the VM.

If you search for net_bind you would assume it would find both these post but it finds nothing.

It seems to only search "words", and that isn't a word or part of a word.

That does seem to be the case. It's not smart at all.

@BraswellJay

Turned out to be a SIP port issue. I remember when I set this particular site up I ended up using port 5160 instead of 5060 but when I configured the new IP group in the skyetel portal I didn't change to the correct port. Once I made that change the portal now shows the new interface as healthy.
