    eMail Hosting for personal domain

    Not the most cost effective way to do it, but I just pay for some Exchange P1 licenses from CDW and run my personal stuff on 365. Think it is like a few $ per user per month. P1 is cheaper than business basic and I don’t need OneDrive/Office desktop apps since I already have in my 365 family...

    what did you learn today? (part 2)

    Sorry for commenting on a bit older post. My biggest gripes preventing me from wanting to play with ipv6 much are multihoming and internal ip addressing. "Proper" way for multihome is to get your own address space and BGP with your ISPs but that is cost prohibitive for a lot of SMB/SOHO...

    Exchange 2013 to 2019

    You may want to run the hybrid wizard up to the point where it gives you the free product key to enter into your Exchange 2019 box for hybrid management then add it in. https://www.alitajran.com/free-exchange-hybrid-license/ Might make it easier if you ever do need to bring it online again.

    Reliable email service provider?

    I myself just migrated my own "home lab Exchange Servers" to Microsoft 365 for the $5/mth. I just did Exchange Online Plan 1 which is the least costly. Had a supplier willing to hook me up so I could save a little but it wouldn't be that much more to buy straight from MS. It amused me doing a...

    Microsoft Authenticator App MFA - Any idea what would cause two users to get prompted for MFA in Teams at 4am?

    Sorry to have partially abandoned my own thread. I did Ctrl + Alt + Shift + 1 to dump the diagnostic logs in Teams. It appears that the Teams client had self updated and when it restarted itself just before the MFA prompt happened. So root cause found at least. I've since gotten approval to...

    Microsoft Authenticator App MFA - Any idea what would cause two users to get prompted for MFA in Teams at 4am?

    Morning Long shot here. I've had two users that came back to their phones finding they had missed MFA prompts at 4am (not on the same day). Digging into the logs (PC and Azure) I see nothing unusual, just that in both cases the Teams app on their work computers (on our office network)...

    IPv6 (thread?)

    I'm going to bring something more generic to the mix. IPV6 seems pretty easy for home users in simple environments (which is most users)...just turn it on and it probably just works. Hope that your ISP supplied router has a firewall. I find it more confusing for tech enthusiasts and for sure...

    The clock is rapidly ticking on Apple’s Lightning charger

    As long as I can plug it into the USB A port for my Apple Carplay I'm OK with changing to USB C on the device (not buying a new car just for wireless carplay though I do wish I had it)

    How to ensure that users are migrated from expired Office licenses to active ones?

    I used to have an E3 license on a credit card (to play with). It showed up in a different row than the E3 we purchased a bunch of through a reseller. Once I cancelled the credit card one, I didn't have to do anything to the original user. My suspicion is that as long as the product matches...

    Microsoft Print Server 2019

    What I do likely isn't perfect from a security perspective but I do the following. My thoughts are that if I'm still using Point and Print to define allowed servers, it should be a little better than having it totally free. GPO Computer Configuration -Disable inbound remote printing by...

    As Apple postpones office return, workers say they value flexibility over money

    This will probably get buried (and someone may have already made this comment) I fully support working from home or in a partial office/home setup as long as there is a good work/life balance. I do not believe they should lose money/benefits/holidays over it. There are a couple issues that...

    Europe is fresh out of IPv4 addresses

    This probably will get buried, but I find the biggest issue is ease of multi homing or switching between different ISPs. For those not in the know, multi homing is where you may have multiple internet providers for redundancy or additional capacity. With IPV4 and NAT, it is easy. Your private...

    In the era of HTTPS and now DNS over HTTPS, what are you doing for web filtering?

    Multi layered for sure. Trend Micro Apex (what they call Officescan now) does a decent job on endpoint AV, inbound hosted email filter catches some, WSUS patch management, limited local admins, etc. Fortigate charges quite a bit for their UTM stuff (Web Filter, DNS Filter, App Filter, etc)...

    In the era of HTTPS and now DNS over HTTPS, what are you doing for web filtering?

    "Deep Packet Inspection" is their term for Man in the Middle. Absolutely it is a lot of work to setup and can create a lot of trouble which is why I appreciate any feedback as to whether it is still worth the trouble or if I should be doing something else instead.

    In the era of HTTPS and now DNS over HTTPS, what are you doing for web filtering?

    Hello Hoping this is an appropriate forum for this. I'm not huge (SMB) and currently run Fortigate brand gear for my edge firewalls/routers. I currently take advantage of it's Web Filtering and DNS filtering and Antivirus just to stop "the easy stuff" when it comes to employees...e.g. I'll...

    Screen share software for Windows

    Ugh...it looks like ConnectWise may be on the chopping block also. For now they are honoring existing pricing (around $1200/yr for 500 computers) as long as I'm making no changes to my subscription but now to get the same thing (with a few new features) is now around $4500. If I need to add...

    How to present a network share as a folder instead of a lettered drive?

    To just map a disk show up as a subfolder, I would just fire up Disk Manager, right click the volume you are adding, assign drive letters and paths, and add a path to it. Think this is a junction vs symlink...I think there are some differences. Perhaps google or someone else can comment on...

    Requesting Insight Into Real World Differences Between Win10 Pro And Ent And GPO's

    I've never had a problem applying Start Menu GPOs to Windows 10 Pro for custom layout so they should work. Bitlocker works fine in 10 Pro. For me the main difference is DirectAccess so for the few users that need it I just pick up Ent licenses. I've scripted MDT to pull Windows 10 OEM keys...

    Screen share software for Windows

    I am looking to switch to Connectwise Access quite soon when LogMeIn subscription is up. LogMeIn got WAY too expensive. Used to be like $700 for Central Unlimited Clients (plus a few bucks for the handful that I wanted Pro Features like file transfer) Then they raised the price a couple...

    Windows Folder Redirection, setting permissions with windows ACL

    Once you solve the Linux side and are able to set ACLs, these may be of use to you to get your folder redirections working and allow the GPO to automatically create the appropriate folders on logon. Use the "advanced" button to see the more granular stuff in the security dialog. From...
