Cyks posted:My take in this situation is to block the account and create a new one, and migrate files and forward emails. I guess it depends on how dead the person wants their old name but the previous name lingers around too much everywhere. Not trans, but that seems like a good idea. My ex's deadname was still on a couple of her tech things despite her having every reason to change it and with how many systems have settings outside SSO that would display an old name it might be better to start fresh. For the record I pretended to not notice the systems that showed her deadname until she mentioned it to me because it seemed like a "if you want me to know you'll tell me" thing. Paypal is apparently also a huge gently caress about changing names, there's someone that I sent money to on Paypal years ago that I don't even remember the name of but I remember her deadname because it's still sitting on my Paypal page with her deadname as an option to send money to.

Yeah I fully support just making a new account for trans people, although I think there can be a little wiggle room if someone changes their name due to marriage or divorce to just update the existing account. Anyway I think I'm becoming the cyber security person by default (I actually responded to one last week while my coworker was out and now my boss is tagging me via teams on another incident) and I cannot explain how little I want to become the untitled, unpaid, and untrained endpoint, AAD, and cyber security person here. I might be a goon and real good at computers but I really shouldn't be trusted to be responsible for this poo poo long term.

You shouldn’t shy away from working with new technologies just because they aren’t in your job description. You should learn new poo poo, put the new poo poo on your resume, and get a better paid job elsewhere working with said poo poo. Don’t be a hero for saving the business all the time, and obviously try to maintain a healthy work life balance. but if you wait for a formal training, promotion, or role change to get your hands dirty doing new things you will find career advancements few and far between.

Yeah, on one hand promotions are generally a joke in IT and you're likely to get more responsibilities for the same pay, on the other hand if you're shadowing/working on stuff in a specialty it means you can add that to your resume and discuss the topic and end up actually making the corresponding money at another job. I doubt I would have gotten into linux admin work if I hadn't shadowed the Linux team at my NOC job rather than doing what I actually wanted to do (mostly ignore the ticket queue while playing Cyberpunk).

You should learn new poo poo, put the new poo poo on your resume, and get a better paid job elsewhere working with said poo poo. I'm not complaining about working with new things - that's been my push here since our old things are all hosed and probably not worth saving - but that I'm being trusted to be the frontline cyber security person with no experience and nobody to teach me/stop my fuckups since neither my boss nor coworker have any applicable experience. Intune and endpoint aren't nearly as critical or likely to blow up in our faces, and we have PII on vulnerable populations that need good cyber security which I am not qualified to provide nor realistically able to learn starting from "check the sign in logs in AAD and run antivirus." Doubly so if I'm not allowed to set stuff like password policies or force users to stop storing PII on their laptop C drive. Plus the rest of everything I've complained about this place for the last year and a half means that any actually good cyber security is going to get squashed by a head boss that hates everything she doesn't understand and refuses to learn anything new. tokin opposition fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Jan 10, 2024 |

Were a four person team and nobody has cybersecurity expertise. See 80% of my posts to see why shadowing from these people would be a profound waste of time. God I wish I could shadow a linux team.

Two more days of "What do you mean I need to be on the VPN to change my password?" and then I'm loving off to Australia/NZ for three weeks. Boss has said when I get back, he's gonna start slowly giving me the keys to the networking kingdom, or at least start letting me access stuff so I can be our teams point guy for it. So that's cool.

Defenestrategy posted:My problem with Microsoft licensing is that its the most obtuse tiering schema ever, so that budgeting for it feels nearly impossible. That’s completely valid. Microsoft does an awful job of explaining what licenses you need or any changes they make. I highly recommend anyone who deals with m365 licensing to get familiar with the site m365maps.com, especially the product matrix. Once it clicks, it’s not too bad. I try my best to be somewhat in compliance but I’m sure there’s a few I missed. I’ve done a Microsoft audit before but we were a very small company (under 80 at the time) and they were mostly interested in total number of servers and devices. I doubt they’d audit if I have room resources using a CA without a entra p1.

Depends what you're translating - but yes for software it's possible. We had an in-house team translating user manuals of MFPs into various European languages, and they had access to the machines themselves to better understand what exactly the English guide was referring to, as well as access to all the service manuals of products that hadn't been released yet. It can be quite commercially sensitive stuff.
