Todays dumb decision...we want to allow computers on the guest network to connect to domain servers for intranet, RMM, and AV.

At that point, isn't it easier to point out they basically have access to internal stuff so why not just put them on the LAN?

I know it's ridiculous, which is why I am asking in that way. I had that conversation with someone once at a previous job and it managed to light the bulb for them that it was a terrible idea.

Treat the guest network like any other non-corporate network and use something like DirectAccess if clients need to use services hosted internally.

Does anything go to poo poo faster than poorly documented ACL rules on L3 switches? Most of these hosts aren't even around, external IP's are from like 5 ISP's ago....

The problem with L3 switch ACLs is they might not be stateful, so you're now in the position of having to open a load of ephemeral ports from your LAN to your guest network.

It looks like at one point in time they were plugging an ISP straight into the core switch and using it to do all the heavy lifting. Then we have a doctor who basically has our office inside our building, we give him internet so he's off on his own little vlan, and then a bunch of other poo poo that nobody knows what. Oh and then a bunch of guest IP address that we let just go on our network at some point in time. 95% of this poo poo doesn't even apply anymore.

Why is this an eye-roll? Do you not have any semblance of an infosec / risk management group? Are mental health patients not entitled to having their data secured in a relatively competent manner?

When people have to pay for their oversights it all becomes more efficient (for most).

I agree that's how it should work but this a SME: no cost centers, no oversight, no planning, no care for procedures.

Our next set of laptops are going to be 100% hands off autopilot so technically the laptop delivery could be delegated to the hr dept. Try offloading every step of on boarding to machines or other depts if you can.


Our current policy for “no heads up” is having the user watch teams and outlook over the web with their phone/tablet/ laptop until the machines are purchased/enrolled in autopilot.

One of the best things I did at my last job was build automation that toed the HR system to active directory. That way when HR set a new employee up, their accounts got automatically created and tickets were automatically generated for other onboarding tasks like laptop deployment.

Did not stop some managers from constantly asking for next day or same day setups, but being able to tell that if they’re not in the hr system there was nothing I could do felt really good.

In our case, HR doesn't know which employees get computers or not.

So this means when you do a billpay from your bank, they have to print the checks and mail them, and because USPS is so delayed right now, you get a late payment notice on your bill!

We get notified when someone is hired. We get a spreadsheet every week. We just don't know who gets a user account, laptop, phone, desk phone, desktop, email...HR has to tell us that, along with giving that person keys, a badge, whatever else they need.

Yeah, that should be a conversation between the hiring manager and IT, HR doesn’t need to be a part of that.

If you’re getting new hires from HR part of your process should be to make sure you’re coordinating the employees onboarding with their hiring manager, not waiting on anyone to deign to give you the information.

Have them dial in to a conference call with your phone, share your screen with the Microsoft person over Teams and the Cisco person over WebEx... but goddamn is that ever stupid.

Pissing me off:

I have a meeting that's at 9:30am on Tuesdays. 9:30am is my start time, and people from the East Coast a) are inevitably morning people and b) as much as they may claim otherwise, do not understand how time zones work. Two weeks ago, the vendor who controls the meeting cancelled it at about 8:30am, so I'm logged in early to get prepped for a meeting that is cancelled. I send her an email "hey, this is my start time, and I get up early for this; if you're going to cancel this meeting, please do it on Monday, and don't wait until Tuesday morning." We have a back-and-forth where she thinks I'm trying to get it rescheduled, but I'm not asking her to go through the rigmarole of working through everyone's schedule again, just... if you're going to cancel it, let me know early enough that I don't set my alarm. Like, just some basic loving consideration.

And then this morning at 9:25am she cancelled the meeting, so I just declined next week's, guess it must not be that important. Not pissing me off: Next week is my last week here, so I don't give a fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

Thanks Ants posted:

I have a corporate domain in an Office 365 tenant but we aren't using Exchange Online for email, a small team wants a domain adding to that tenant and they do want to use Exchange Online (as it's linked to using Teams for meetings with a certain set of clients). Is there any way to tell Office 365 that the corporate email needs to be sent over to Gmail, or is it always going to try delivering internally if the domain exists on the tenant?

Edit: Looks like the magical search term is Internal Relay Domain, I'll try it out this evening

We don't even get that information from HR. The way it works here is HR fills out a form saying what accounts they need. If they need hardware whether it's a phone, computer, cell phone, various badges...

We give them what they ask for. It's not IT's job to figure out what an employee needs.
