Trying to figure the mechanism being used to activate the licenses for our Windows endpoints.
KMS?
Supposedly. But the VM that should be the KMS server isn't listening on tcp 1688, and the only configuration I can find on it is actually an AD object for a single license with an ambiguous name. The answer will involve me polling various people to try to piece together what people have tried to configure in the past.
nmap -p 1688 10.10.10.0/24 -

nmap -p 1688 10.10.10.0/24Believe it or not, it would probably take less time to poll people than to get approval to run
nmap, but that's a good idea. -
Look through DNS for an SRV record that starts out like this
_vlmcs._tcp.domain.com
in case you missed it, there is a "." between _vlmcs and _tcp

Federal government contractor (company for which I work is servicing a federal government contract). I’d have to see if nmap is on my team’s approved app list. If it isn’t, there’s red tape to go through to get it approved.
-
@eddiejennings Ok that makes sense, If you explain i'm sure they might be ok. But they may be funny with running nmap. But nmap is quite powerful and and can be run with scripts to find potential CVE's. Which ain't a bad thing tbh. all networks should be scanned.
-
documentation and more documentation.
i used to like doing doco when I was younger, now not so much. -
@siringo well better to get it done then forget what you did in 6 months.

Crap. I can't believe I did what. What was I thinking?! Was I thinking?! I'd better write it down this time.
Next Event: Repeat.

hahahahaha.
currently writing up a doc on how remote staff can reboot switches, diagnose led displays etc.
Lots of pictures, no tech words, just words like box, thing, light.This is where many IT people go wrong with doco for non tech people. They think the reader is interested, or wants to learn or should know about what is going on and what things are. Most people don't give a toss, they just want to get back to their work so they don't have to work back after hours to complete it.

early lunch, why not indeed.

Changed my terminal to terminator. Checked on some wordpress installs. Got wordpress security. lots of login attempts from India. May have to Geo ban that country, the emails are getting on me nerves.

Not enough. This sort of continued behaviour by people will be the spark that triggers the robot revolution
-
@nadnerb haha, bloody robots.
been watching Raised by Wolves, damn show's got me sucked in. Last episode tonight, it seems to be a 1 season only, but with 1 episode left, it looks like another show that will end with an unfinished story?
