Unless "home software development" is a euphemism for something illicit you are trying to do, I don't see why an individual would need to work in such an environment unless you also find the need to wear a tinfoil hat to protect against RF mind control attacks as well. At the most extreme case...

how isolated is this network in practicality? Is it true air-gapped, or is it just denied internet access through firewall rules and vlans? Having an isolated network and no servers is a bit strange since basic functions like DNS/NTP/Identity management require some sort of server to function...

Followup ADMX question... Are you all keeping all ADMX files from all active OSes in the central store until those OSes are removed from AD, or are you only keeping the latest editions? IE. If you have Win10-21H1 ADMX installed and go to install Win10-21H2, do you keep the original one...

if you already have the cat5e cable installed that isn't shielded and grounded and it is working, I would suggest leaving it as-is and just installing a poe powered fiber converter and a short length of fiber on that remote side just to create that power isolation point as others have suggested...

++ to what SplatMan_DK said. Why do you NEED exchange on-prem at all if your mailboxes are 100% online now? I would definitely look closely at decommissioning your exchange servers https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/decommission-on-premises-exchange?redirectedfrom=MSDN and AD Connect...

bonus if you can make it into a crossover event!

A separate VLAN should be more than sufficient so long as the gateway you use is capable of setting an ACL or other rule to prevent traffic between the two networks. Beyond that, this all seems highly overly paranoid unless the company has explicitly stated they are going full big-brother on...

Strange... if this your personal PC or a work one managed by them? When I click on save-as for a new file, it just shows the various locations available, sure the company one is at the top for me, but I have to actually click on it. Likewise, I just tested and clicking save pops up a...

what others have said... 2014 era could easily have been a HDD and not an SSD, so upgrading to an SSD will make a huge improvement. As will upgrading the ram if you can find the correct stuff. I'll also say that 100 tabs open on a laptop between two browsers is insane. I'm a big fan of tabs...

I know you can do Work/Personal OneDrive without an issue. I don't get this whole "not see" restriction which seems arbitrary. If you required real separation, you shouldn't be logged into the computer as just one user and just create a separate computer account and switch logins when needed...

Personally, I'd use that annoyance as a good reason to move over to Office365 for real and use OneDrive for the file shares. I can't find the instruction link I used, but if there isn't a setting option in the trust center to allow network locations to be used, you might have to use a registry...

Thats pretty quick to move production into 8 already. Most critical vendors haven't added support for 8 yet... Veeam should be formally releasing their latest version which supports it next week, but I think we will hang back a little before we make the jump up to 8 with production.

I believe it shows as a CVSSv3 score of 9.8 on that link listed... thats pretty scary, BUT its been patched since 7.0U1c... There is a lot of neglect going on if your "managing" a server that is still running something that is two years behind in patches on anything that is network connected.

"No Hardware" makes this a bit of a challenge as the ideal solution is a wifi extender of some type, but if that really isn't allowed, you could run a VM on the Win10 box that is running some firewall software which you should be able to get around this network limitation by creating two virtual...

reading between the lines, you mention the files are located on a shared folder that is on a Mac. and that there is no local windows domain. I'll assume the issue is likely a trust issue between the windows computers and the Mac. Most likely the old computers used to have the same problem, but...

We have been using Bartender as well. Works well. The basic is cheap enough and can be upgraded to have all sorts of integration bells and whistles if you ever do get that far.

My reasoning was to limit the number of cords hanging out everywhere. I feel like my life is surrounded by 3' and 6' lightning and USB-C cables which are constantly failing and getting replaced and are just laying everywhere. Converting what I can to wireless charging pads might be less...

guess that settles it... guess it doesn't exist.

I've struck out searching on my own and thought maybe this forum might have an answer. Are there any MagSafe Battery packs that you can charge the pack using another wireless charging pad? Every one I look at says that you CAN charge using USB-C or some say lightning, but are there any that...

Not sure if this is too basic since you probably should already know this if managing 133 desktops and using GPOs, but if it was from a GPO setting, you should see that by running the command gpresult /H report.html from the command prompt both as a regular user and as an admin and you will see...
