I just added this server as a trusted site in IE and it worked

Yeah, we're trying to take a more holistic approach to security. Whether virus, malware or phishing, we're trying to be the one-stop place for security reputation for processes, IP address and URLs.

Not much call for AC yet.

Blame the British then 😉

I was thinking more about controlling rules in Exchange. If HR need to be involved to get something enforced then I may as well forget it.

Then why the concern? If management and HR think it doesn't matter then it should definitely not concern you. Not IT's place to make those kinds if calls.

@Carnival-Boy in that particular case, I would guess that that was an accident. Service providers and vendors do have to be careful as their accident "blast radius" is often larger than in house IT is. But to be fair, we see internal IT people accidentally post rather a bit of stuff when looking for help online or using KB systems that are hosted publicly or whatever.

Publishing tickets without an air gap process, though, that is pretty idiotic I must admit.

I've been using Clonezilla for 4+ years.. it's easy and fast. it has some caveats, but you can read about the requirements if you're doing anything more than restoring to the same (or same size) disk as you started with.

We are about to subject a non-tech user to their first time seeing Windows since Windows 2000 and it will be 8.1. This will be exciting.

You sir, have an interesting view of excitement!! 😉

Cool, thanks.

I'd only buy telecoms from a telecoms company. Best of luck to them with their all-encompassing we'll sell you anything approach but I fear it may not work to well for the customer when they need help. Call me skeptical.

That would be two guides for one test. Each number, in this case 70-410 refers to a single test that results in a single certification.

For that much you can pick up a card which should crank out lower end titles at extremely playable framerates with all graphics settings maxed out. I would recommend jumping up to the $200 price bracket, but if on a fixed budget, you can pick up a Radeon HD 7790 or a 7770. I've had experience with both, and I've gotten the 7770 to push 37 FPS on Battlefield 4 on Ultra settings at 1280 x 1024, but a sad 28 FPS at 1920 x 1080. The 7790 is on slightly faster on paper, but is better optimized for modern titles. If you were looking to spend a bit more, I would recommend an EVGA GTX 660 SC at $209, which will run anything but the most demanding games at Ultra settings around 60 FPS in 1920 x 1080P. If you want any further recommendations over price, brand, specific types of Video Plugins, Video Encoding/Decoding, or Chipsets, go ahead and ask!

Made more fun when your code only works in a IE or FF!

Oh yes, my Google Fu is powerful today.I found the answer and tried it, just what the doctor ordered, aside from some weird formatting, but who cares really?

You can open/read your email and then in the toolbar at the top under Move, choose Calendar. A calendar schedule appointment opens up with your email subject in the subject line and in the text area the body of your email. You just set your start/end time and BAM, its on the calendar. I might actually get stuff done now.

@Bill-Kindle people coming from another community have been conditioned with heavy misuse if the term beta. It makes people think that it is something that it is not.

Right, my bad.

For an entry-level employee, I can see doing some prepwork. For an experienced employee, a typical rite of passage often is having them set up their own workstation, join it to the domain, etc. Watching how they go about this and paying attentention to the questions they ask will give great insight on how to go about training them in an effective fashion.

Few large companies would give desktop admin rights to average IT folk. And far fewer would let them join to the domain.

Most larger companies would use something like SCCM or VDI, so joining the computer to the domain would have already been done.

I don't think that VDI is as common as you would imagine. I've yet to hear of Fortune 500s even discussing it yet. I only work in so many, but from what I've been seeing it is a long way off from common adoption for normal users in the large space. It seems to be mostly small companies doing it. I'm sure some large companies are going that way, but I've not seen it not really heard about it. Now small companies, I hear them doing it every day.

I'm familiar with a Fortune 100 that's working on implementing VDI. Bigger companies are doing it, but it's more of a phase-in process. Because of this, it isn't as widely known. Most implementations start with a PoC at a smaller division, then grow from there.
