It's one of those things where it probably immediately recalls stories like this, and the difference between "turn it on/off when you're doing your test" and "we own the laptop so we're just gonna flip that poo poo on whenever we like".

Agreed. Because there is ALWAYS someone to gently caress it up for everyone else.

I just don't like the idea of having to install unknown software from somewhere in order to pursue an online education.

I think the shortest evaluation of a security firm would be to invite them in to pitch and slide them a USB stick with some 'useful company information' on. If they plug it in then they lose.

Zero VGS: Aug 16, 2002; ASK ME ABOUT HOW HUMAN LIVES THAT MADE VIDEO GAME CONTROLLERS ARE WORTH MORE; Lipstick Apathy

I'm drawing a blank here... what's the technical term for the name that appears alongside an email address?

People are sending email as our CEO's name, the email address appears as: "CeoFirstName CeoLastName <admin@NotOurDomain.com>" asking for payments, and I want to create a mail flow rule that'll redirect these to me if they are from outside the organization and that name matches. The sender email itself keeps changing.

I have options for:

"address includes any of these words"
"address matches any of these text patterns"
"has specific properties including any of these words"
"has specific properties matching any of these text patterns"

Like, how am I supposed to know the difference between those four options?

That whole thing, "CeoFirstName CeoLastName <admin@NotOurDomain.com>", is the From header. If you're using Exchange, you can set a transport rule that catches external mail with "CeoFirstName CeoLastName" in the From header and sends it to you or spam or whatever. You should also check for "CeoLastName, CeoFirstName" while you're at it. This is probably going to catch any email from their personal account, and obviously anyone with a similar name, but you can set exclusion rules on specific email addresses if you need to do that.

"From Header", got it, thank you for the help!

Yes, I was already setting the exclusion rules because the CEO sends from his personal email a bunch.

If your company is in any way serious about stopping this type of fraud then the CEO not using their non-company account for company business needs to be really loving high up that list.

What's the best practice for print servers nowadays?

I have an old Windows 2003 DC that is also our "print server". We are moving our domain to 2016 and new DCs and I don't want the printers to be on the DCs at all. The current server just has the printers installed on the server and then shared and we manually set them up or use a Kixtart script to assign them to machines.

The server I am going to use for them is Windows 2008 R2.

What is the easiest way to assign the printers after also. Any powershell magic to strip printers from all the user machines (windows 7 & 10) and then assign them the moved versions?

Seems to work fine on iPhones, but installing the certificate without mdm is a shitshow. I haven't looked at Android, since our entire executive team are iPhone users.

Does whatever you use for tracking usage not link to Active Directory? Why do you need codes to track usage, other than for photocopies or billing to accounts?

Is GPO the way to go even for printers that only 1 or 2 users have? We have a bunch of people with printers in their offices (who doesn't).

We are a small office. Just about 30 computers on site not counting servers.

We use Uniflow. AD has a field set to the employee number, UniFlow tracks according to that number and links it back to AD for reporting. Best thing is that the computers only need a single driver for Uniflow. They can then walk up to any printer, log in, and print their queue. All under a single install on each machine.

Uniflow also watches which windows account jobs come from so they can print directly to their printer without messing with a queue (because apparently this is a big loving deal to some people who need to save 4 seconds of their day).

It's probably expensive though, i never vetted it against other options because I like how well it works.

Genuine screenshot, I am afraid.
Skype is gone from o365: no warning, no help, no nothing.

On the positive, at least the desktop client for SFB still works

On the negative I can guarantee every user of Skype will struggle to use Teams and life will be miserable for IT support.
