why wouldn't you just download the official iso. did you know? if you don't activate windows 10, a few features are locked out but it mostly works?

the torrent is probably advertised as activation cracked

it's great if you want a tool that doesn't update itself effectively and has zero integration into AD

why would it need integration into AD? also it checks for updates every time you launch it.

*does a doubletake at shaggar not wanting something integrated with AD*

the client wouldn't be able to use it since (afaik) there are no ways to do ad based auth to the file server protocols FileZilla supports



no its not

if you put locks on your bag and they are not TSA the TSA will cut them off but yeah they're useless either way cause of 100 reasons. the only way to secure checked baggage is to get a hard case with a good lock and transport firearms in it along w/ everything else.

a backhoe once took out the major phone related fiber Verizon had between Mass and Maine so most of the pstn in maine and parts of NH was down for like 13 hrs cause when they spliced it the first time they did it backwards.

backhoes need to be stopped.

altho technically I think the fiber was owned by rcn so the backwards splicing was their gently caress up

well. I like how


apparently the power company doesn't know about outages until someone proactively notifies them??

they'll see the drop off but a lot of the times they don't know where exactly the cut is so they rely pretty heavily on user reporting to narrow things down

my bro was telling me about some of the PLCs at a plant he was managing and he was telling me they have a separate internet connection (DSL, lol) for letting the vendor on to do work. It didn't occur to him that leaving this open all the time was a bad idea cause he didn't realize that theres effectively no security on the PLCs.

What should they use instead? openldap? NIS+?

Azure AD

Isn't there a limit to the number AD users and groups?

theoretically theres no limit to objects you can store, but there are limits around SID generation for new objects on a per domain controller level.

Shaggar
Apr 26, 2006
My guess would be they'd be using ADFS and not direct ldap authentication to AD since it would be far more flexible. Azure AD would be a better choice since it has a lot of hardening and handles password resets and the like.

assuming 30mil users 180mil/mo for p1, 270mil/mo for p2 @ retail prices so probably less for enterprise agreement pricing.

if you're actually gonna have people in there and using it all the time then it makes sense, otherwise self hosting would probably be cheaper.

I imagine they would be offered quite the discount for something like that.

enterprise agreements that anyone can get are like 30% off for a 1 year sub so I would bet Microsoft would be willing to give them something even better to be able to brag about hosting the identity management for the worlds largest prison.

Also while Azure AD would be a decent choice, price concerns notwithstanding, Australian citizens might object to hosting their PII in the US or on systems possibly controlled by a US company under the Patriot Act.

Although Australia being a FVEYE member that might be less of an issue.

e: I know the average EU citizen would probably flip their poo poo about hosting their government PII in the US. (Even though most of them share everything anyway through social media.)

My guess would be that it would be hosted in Australia with the US zones as backup. they could probably negotiate for aus only hosting if they really wanted.
