Even though he CAN attach the Mac to AD, the scope of what IT can do to manage it is laughable. Unless you buy a Mac yourself and load up their shiny server app.

We had another KnowB4 phishing test, and ANOTHER loving member of our small IT department clicked the link in there. This is the second time it's happened in a year. Last guy who did it got walked out for other reasons though I'm sure his click contributed. God drat, we don't have but seven loving people in the department. This has got to be difficult and embarrassing to report to the Big Boss.

In my defense I was crazy hungover, and it's almost impossible to check on a link when it gets run through the safety software we use, you can't see where the URL actually points. Also, there was a reporting problem where they could see how many people clicked on it, but not who, so I didn't get dinged.

You guys would accept "nah I was hungover lol and also you make more than me anyway lmao" as an excuse from some user who fell victim to a phishing attack and let in the latest cryptolocker or something?

Blue_monday posted:My bosses are finally onboard with Macs in a Windows environment being a spectacularly bad idea. This is after three years of me telling him this, and repeatedly being demonstrated by the litany of problems the Macs have caused over the years. They are also now finally onboard with wireless devices being a bad idea. At a previous job, we had an old client leave a Mac Pro for training, then pulled out and left the machine. When we asked to return it, they were all "Naaaaaaah." We finally found it. One of the trainers had it stashed under his desk. After explaining we were a Windows shop ONLY, a coworker and I confiscated it and turned it into a file server for profile backups.

I would have been fine except for the "you make more than me". It's such an annoying bullshit excuse. As if my dedication to my education and furthering my career makes it ok for others to do stupid poo poo that hampers me from doing stuff that matters. "sure, I'll stop working on <thing that keeps the entire business running> to address <thing you did that is stupid>"

A week of tickets will come in and I will ignore them. Next week I'm taking three days off, so with the Thanksgiving break that means I will be taking an entire week off for the first time since 2003 when I had my cancer surgery. I'm going to do it right. I'll have a message on my voicemail as well as my email so no one will have to wonder why I'm not responding. Everyone will be directed to the MSP who have already been alerted. I will probably be bored as poo poo but just like taking yucky medicine this is something I should force myself to do.

Read a book, go for a walk, clean out your closets, reconnect with a friend or relative, work out, tinker with a new technology, etc. If you're bored when you're not at work, then you're not trying hard enough.

Current mood: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'm honestly shocked they let you stay past resignation date. At least in my small experience, someone with admin creds resigns? They get a nice vacation before $new_job.  Something tells me though, your boss was desperate cause he didn't know poo poo all about the environment.

Ours can do that all by itself. Just CC the address in an e-mail from the ticket system. Thanks TrackIT

My voice is higher than your voice. EDIT: I think one of the things I will do next week is go to Suit Supply and begin a middle age review of my complete lack of style. I only have one suit that fits, no blazer/sports jacket, etc. It's time to fix this.

Inspector_666 posted:Because it happens even when they're not in the office. If their domain account is getting locked out when their primary computer is not communicating with the domain in any way, there is another device trying to log in with those credentials and you need to look at your DC logs. If the user account is getting locked out due when they're out of the office, and it's not getting locked on the DC, they're probably an idiot and keep typing in their password wrong.
