"Is this is a virus?" At one job, more than once the links being forwarded as suspicious were legit emails sent out by the security or IT teams  They were just atrocious at drafting emails. For example, they sent out a link to the mandatory anti-phishing course through an ESP like SendGrid or something. It rewrote the link to run through their metrics tracking domain first before redirecting to the final destination. A shitload of people reported it as suspicious, because they literally urged you to click a link to some random-rear end domain in an email telling you not to click on links to random-rear end domains. It was not a trick or test, they just legit hosed it up.

I would actually shy away from a NAS because those two apps are cloud based as far as I recall from talking to my father in law. Even if they aren’t switching them to google apps(I prefer google here) or o365 and using the inbuilt file sharing features is a much smarter play. With a small consultancy like that a single office NAS is a disaster waiting to happen with from loss of the machine or just not being able to access files remote(easily) is going to be a non starter. Single local file storage doesn’t make sense to me anymore when Dropbox/google are so cheap. Unless you are using it to store your Linux isos. Edit: and those files are meant to be shared with external partners. Local NAS seems silly here unless they can only get dogshit dsl in the office. freeasinbeer fucked around with this message at 15:45 on Nov 4, 2017 |

Anyone here currently/formerly a junior DBA and able to shed a little light on the day to day work? I work in a clinical informatics position at a decent sized hospital and there has been an internal job opening for a junior DBA. I have zero experience in the field but I do have a background in tech support, can use google, and can solve problems.

DBA is a really broad field, but if they're not listing expected duties, I'd guess: DB maintenance, making sure backups and replication are working, patching et al. Helping on root cause analysis for incidents, with seniors taking more of the heavy lifting. Fixing developments terrible SQL and schema design.

Don't you love it when you find issues at a new job that makes you look great? Our licensing of things in the Azure space is the loving wild west. Too many people can implement things that cost money and nobody at this point as been auditing things to make sure we are using the things we are actually paying for. I have found more than 90k a month worth of licensing we were spending on 0365 licences alone on employees that were no longer with the company. My azure audit so far is in the 150k range and growing. Developers creating virtual environments for projects that are no longer I was nice and gave all the middle managers of these groups a heads up of my findings so that they can strategies how to explain the waste. Saying that, I met with the CIO just now and the look on his face was priceless. I can almost guarantee that if it gets to the CFO he is going have an aneurysm. The upside is that come time for my yearly review I already have a bluechip bullet point that justifies my salary and we are just finishing month 2.

There’s even more work this month than there was last month when I was basically having a breakdown. But I feel fine. Making good progress, and I have a second person who is learning how to do the reports. I’m not stressed at all. Thank you (prescribed) Ativan and upcoming week long vacation where I won’t even have my computer. I also stopped the medication that made getting up in the morning absolute hell, so now I’m not coming in 5-15 minutes late all the time. Today I was actually early.

Didn't they blame a major outage last year on a configuration error?

So, we're moving to Azure AD some time next year for user self-serve password resets. We're also going to slowly move everything to authenticate against AD instead of having separate accounts for everything. Cool. I like this plan, but I have a question that I don't want to ask the higher ups. Someone forgets their account password and locks their account out... how do they reset their password? If they can't get on the computer, they can't reset their password, correct? We're also going to be rolling out MFA, using tokens most likely. Might be Yubikey. Will that affect the situation? Just general stuff, obviously some is going to differ based on specific implementation.

If somebody is locked out and can't remember their password, they'd need an admin to reset it for them. But that's the case with on-prem AD as well.

Avenging_Mikon posted:I figured as much. I was just hoping I'd actually be able to be free of password resets FOREVER!!!! Self Service Password Reset with Password Write-Back to OnPrem is definitely a thing. It's not perfect but it uses security questions/alternate email/SMS Messages to verify the user if i recall correctly. (We have it setup internally but I've not needed to use it myself).

So I'm not sure where your comment is coming from. I'm using it along side ADFS. But will probably turn on RADIUS for use with our client VPN Soon(tm)
