Anyone got anything left unpatched?

Hopefully no one replies to this, as it would be a great way to find targets.

LOL, good point. Although very hard to trace back an online profile to an IP address.

We don't have good internet connection.. Am i safe now?

Not quite. SSL connections generally don't require much bandwidth.

Well Totally i disconnected our production machine into internet.
@scottalanmiller is right. No stable internet connection.

I am curious and i drop by to read about Chef. Interesting 🙂

Within a Elastix Web interface. I fixed the issue, but some of out team got a serious kick out of this, so I posted it here.

I saw it happen. It was unique to IE and to Mike, apparently.

Did you show it to Liesl?

Thanks. I have some work to do.

Whoops! Lol.

I found a couple to play with: Microsoft Project Siena- looks like it is an App creator but I have no clue how it works or what I would use it for... something to play with while traveling this week.

See it is useful!

Don't change your password on any system that isn't updated yet, or it will just get stolen again. There's a bunch of places that will tell you if a site is updated or not, including LastPass.

I'm not sure what the specific pointing out of LastPass is, but here's a link to their blog http://blog.lastpass.com/2014/04/lastpass-and-heartbleed-bug.html
According to them, your passwords were never in jeopardy because it's always pre encrypted before being sent over the internet, even thought it was going on SSL.

No I mean LastPass will now check sites for you: http://blog.lastpass.com/2014/04/lastpass-now-checks-if-your-sites-are.html

Aww.. yes Very cool of them! Scott even started a new page just for that.

Yeah, not to bad - I don't like the fact that it's all browser based. You download a client that's installed, then the browser session connects to that install to run the scan from your machine on your network. You have to put credentials into the software to get the scan to do anything worth while.

The first scan I ran came back empty because I didn't associate the credentials with any machines - wasn't obvious this needed to be done, still took me 5 mins to figure it out.

Ah, I was wondering how it did it without an install.

Favorite thing so far is the easy of having everything synced with my desktop. So I can move to the couch or out on the deck and not miss a beat on Skype, lync, email even web pages I had last open.

Congrats Sir 🙂

Has anyone used Decrap?

Hopefully not. Much better to do a clean image.

I do like that option when the client is on-board, however very small businesses (mom & pops) usually decline because of time and cost.

Saving money is never something that little shops like. That's why they stay little 😉

Yep.

What's your view on projectors versus televisions? A few years ago we replaced the projector in our training room with a 50 inch telly, and people complain it's too small. But you can get a 60 inch LED now for the price of a decent projector, and a 70 inch for a fair bit more. I'd prefer a television, as I find them simpler to operate and I like lots of HDMI connections. A 100 inch touch-screen monitor is probably a few years away for us.

It annoys me when people complain they can't see something and I ask them if they have glasses and they say "Yeah, but I never wear them at work".

I've not used it but am very interested. Looks like a software defined storage platform.

@Dashrender

Awesome! Glad to have been of service. Feel free to mark my response as BA!

Got a spare Unifi AP hanging around the office? I'd go with a commercial device as a test. Also, make sure yo use various ports on the Verizon router

A bit on the reimaging rights. Intune with SA is a volume license. You could use the volume license media and key to reimage other computers that run the same exact product version. You could use the Win8.1 Pro media and key for other Win8.1 Pro computers. Upgrade rights are only available with SA, one device per user. Do understand that if you cancel Intune, you'd be revoking your volume license rights.

Alex,
Under the old SA in a VL setup, let's say you bought Office Pro plus with SA, when you purchased it Office 2010 was out, but during your subscription, Office 2013 comes out.
Now say you discontinue your subscription. It is my understanding that you can use 2013 in perpetuity.

Is the same true for machines that you purchase Intune with SA? So you have a Windows XP machine today, you buy Intune with SA which allows you to upgrade to Windows 8.1 Pro (or Enterprise if you wish). If you dump the SA portion of the subscription are you required to go back to XP on that computer? If that's the case, calling it SA was a bad decision as the rules would be different for two things with the same name.

The software, including the OS license, is provided on a subscription basis only. There is, however, a buyout option that's available for cancellations after the initial 12-month term. I'm not sure what the pricing on it is offhand, as that requires contacting MS directly.

Thanks - I do recall seeing something about a buyout.

Do we have a MS rep around to answer this?
