You have to add the VCal data as an "alternative view". Fairly easy as I was using system.net.mail.mailmessage, so just add alternativeview objects instead of attachment objects. Today's fuckwit is a user who sent me a message of hey is (external supplier)s FTP account still active. The details I have are username:reallylongpassw****@ftp.company.com I've redacted the last four characters of the password for security. Well that password might've been valid, hosed if I know, but it's not valid any more because you just reduced its security to that of a four character password and CCd it to a bunch of people, so now I gotta reset it.

If I wasn't in this position, I would've found it hilarious.

We just had a vendor do that to us a couple weeks ago. We had an issue with a service on a new system not starting after a maintenance reboot, and apparently they only read as far as "logon failure" in the error log. Log on as a service rights? What's that? Better email "Please try using password XXXX for username $ServiceAccount" to the whole project team instead. Now we have to go change it in like a dozen places, thanks.

loving ManageEngine service desk and it’s ADSync tool. Apparently it needs to use the administrator account and will silently fail if using a different account. We asked support about setting up a generic LDAP lookup account but apparently using an account named administrator is the only option they support. WTF.

I'm doing a PoC eval with Bomgar/BeyondTrust Remote Support. After multiple emails back and forth with my technical point of contact about our failures to get past UAC, their support team has responded Bomgar Support posted:We won't troubleshoot edge cases or tell you what your GPOs or UAC permissions should be. But it should work if you set User Account Control: Behavior of the elevation prompt for administrators in Admin Approval Mode to 'Elevate without prompting' Well. It doesn't. And we're pretty standard in terms of UAC permissions, just about all of them are in line with MS defaults.  Any other recommendations for remote support tools that can do some kind of credential injection for getting past UAC?

Yeah dameware is good. I think the credentials you use to connect have to have domain admin rights in order to bypass UAC stuff, if I remember correctly.

In our monthly status meeting, the CIO told me he received the feedback IT wasn't fraternizing (for want of a better term) enough with the rest of the office. Apparently we need to make more small talk and socialize. There's only three of us and we're supporting the group IT projects and infrastructure for a 2000 man company (some of the other sites have local IT) so we spend most of our time talking to people on other sites. Okay, I guess? (Yes, I'm well aware of the need of IT to come across as persons rather than tech/support dispensers or social recluses but that doesn't change the fact we're dealing with the complete company on a daily basis, not just one site.)

When that failed, I set it to always elevate and that still failed. I'm fine with acknowledging that our UAC setup is weird or idiosyncratic, if that's the case. I'm more disappointed that their support standpoint is 'gently caress you, we have no documentation and no guidance to offer about what our product requires to work. Good luck troubleshooting it yourself, rear end in a top hat.'

After multiple emails back and forth with my technical point of contact about our failures to get past UAC, their support team has responded ScreenConnect (ConnectWise Control) never had an issue with this IIRC. I don't recall the particulars (been years since that job) but I remotely did stuff requiring UAC all the time without issue, but we had the ScreenConnect agent running on all our machines already. Obviously a different situation for those "on demand" support sessions where unprivileged users are downloading and running the support session executable. I'll never stop raving about ScreenConnect; it was (and probably is still) great software and I never had a single significant issue with it. Edit: they've got a video showing privilege escalation/credential injection so seems right up your alley. Sheep fucked around with this message at 14:04 on Aug 17, 2021 |

I share an office with a contractor who does helpdesk etc. Someone comes in with two sales guys. I'm clearly on a call (headset, Teams on screen). They're being loud as poo poo. They can't get an iPhone off silent. I mute my call. "Hit the switch on the side of the phone" They still can't figure it out. lol iphones suck! androids are better! laughing, just being loud  After about five minutes they realize the case on the phone covers the button so you have to pop out the little panel to access it. Why would they put it there! That's so dumb! iPhones are stupid! Android is better! Hahahah! Then my boss went into a schpiel about how he wants to switch us over to Androids because security is better and he also wants to switch us to Tmobile (who has terrrible coverage in our area)

Maybe get a better loving case and learn to use the poo poo you have? I'm an Android user and have been for most of my cellphone having life, but the little mute switch on the iPhones are amazing. On that note, getting an iPhone from my new job - screw having company poo poo on my personal phone. Only been in this new job 2 weeks as of this Friday, but I gotta say, that move has been fantastic  .

Work gives us a cellphone stipend. I still don't hand out my cell number. I direct everyone to my office line (which is forwarded), and block my cell number whenever I call someone. A lot of my colleagues have put their personal number out there over time, and they have users calling them directly after-hours. Definitely ain't getting two phones.
