When dealing with shared mailboxes in office 365 do you folks usually add the user directly to the shared mailbox, or do you add the user to a security group and then give the security group permissions to the shared mailbox? Is there an advantage over using security groups to control access to shared mailboxes as opposed to adding users directly? If someone can point me to further reading on this I would appreciate it as I'm mostly finding how-to's instead of theory and best practices.

I would say add them to a security group that has access instead of adding the user directly. All of the same arguments that apply to using groups in AD vs direct user assignment should apply here.

Sefal posted:Still being told in 2017 that we don't need an imaging server I've been whining about this for quite some time and I think I only finally got the go-ahead because our only available image for a machine nearing its EOL was from 2014. It's not just the deployment that's nice -- it's that it gets rid of the need to babysit multiple thick images (for at least 9 models of workstations and laptops in our case, which obviously nobody was doing).

Mail-enabled security groups are a good way to deal with this because then you can make someone an owner of that group, show them how to edit the group membership themselves, and then never hear from them again. Just be aware that adding someone to a group that has permissions on a mailbox doesn't do the automapping in Outlook that you'd get if you added them individually.

You and me both brother, to be honest mine is more not having a single spare moment to do anything about it and there's a poo poo load of quality of life and core improvements I need/want to make to our infrastructure. Since it's been brought up what's the barebones setup for this that's been asked a million times? We're using Server 2012r2 at the moment so say I spin up an VM and install WDS/MDT ready to do, how does all the licensing shenanigans work out? From what I understand you need to at least buy Reimaging rights but how does this work with OEM licenses? as we get HP machines with Win 7 Pro (now 10) preinstalled which would be ideal to use (volume licensing would be a hard sell at this point).

If you have zero leeway for overtime you better hope your deadlines have an enormous cushion. But because it's state I'm sure timelines are skimpy and budgets are a joke so you better be prepared to be the scapegoat if you take that role.

Talking to the facilities manager about printers. Printing color has been on by default since we started leasing the MFC's a couple years ago. Someone finally did the math and figured out that converting 50% of color prints to B&W would save a little over $10k per year.

We have Exchange 2010 soon going to be Exchange 2016 and we have two dozen+ email accounts which have dozens of users added with full access rights. Would prefer those be groups. But not if they don't get auto added to end users Outlooks.

I'm in local government and my projects move at a good clip. I plan them, open them, do the work, project closed. It's probably a side effect of being so small that nobody stands in my way, but not all government is glacial. Now the bank I used to work at, holy poo poo. 3 weeks to review a group policy change. Then 3 weeks to test and deploy. It was just consolidating mapped drives from login scripts. A router refresh project spanned over a year, which was longer than I lasted there.

I think the current thinking for Windows 10 deployment is to apply a provisioning payload on top of the base OS, rather than re-imaging. There are some useful resources here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mt240567.aspx

So I had my interview with Amazon yesterday, was one of the most technical interviews I've ever had. I never been asked to list what is sent in a 3 way TCP handshake and what are the different kind of TCP congestion control algorithms. It went well though so next stop is a trip to Seattle for a full-day of interviews. They're also starting to verify my references and job employment for the local management position so hopefully the timing of these two positions coincide nicely.

It's a small group working on NDA projects where I will get to use my programming and networking knowledge on whitebox hardware. They were asking very granular knowledge on OSPF and BGP also but that was more inline with what I would expect.

It's those kinds of questions that are why I'll never leave my current job. I'm as high as it gets here, but I always get the sense that if I interview somewhere else I'm effectively a junior sys admin. I have no idea what happens during a TCP handshake nor do I care. If it doesn't work, I rebuild the server. If that doesn't work, I buy a new switch. If that doesn't work, I just kinda hem and haw until someone else fixes it.
