Causing headaches because I'm completing assigned tasks properly. Have someone retiring at the end of the month, and was asked to create an "archive" of his Office 365 email. Did the normal ediscovery search and download, but the download kicked an alert to the account owner (in this case the police chief for the village).

The numbers are out and you can see the effectiveness of the vaccines.
Yes, and it's only really effective against serious infections. Some of the vaccines (remember, whole regions of the world can't get the really effective ones and no children can - nor can people pick which they get) are only like 65% effective against infection, but nearly 100% effective in stopping a serious complication from infection.
So stopping the infection isn't even on the radar realistically. The name of the game is lowering infection rates to allow hospitals to have capacity while stopping serious infections to allow people to live and hopefully recover.
“In the United States, vaccines were 90% effective against any infection in nearly 4,000 health care workers, and 94% effective against hospitalizations from COVID-19 in an evaluation across 24 hospitals in 14 states,”

KMS?
Supposedly. But the VM that should be the KMS server isn't listening on tcp 1688, and the only configuration I can find on it is actually an AD object for a single license with an ambiguous name. The answer will involve me polling various people to try to piece together what people have tried to configure in the past.

nmap -p 1688 10.10.10.0/24Believe it or not, it would probably take less time to poll people than to get approval to run
nmap, but that's a good idea. -
Look through DNS for an SRV record that starts out like this
_vlmcs._tcp.domain.com
in case you missed it, there is a "." between _vlmcs and _tcp

Federal government contractor (company for which I work is servicing a federal government contract). I’d have to see if nmap is on my team’s approved app list. If it isn’t, there’s red tape to go through to get it approved.
-
@eddiejennings Ok that makes sense, If you explain i'm sure they might be ok. But they may be funny with running nmap. But nmap is quite powerful and and can be run with scripts to find potential CVE's. Which ain't a bad thing tbh. all networks should be scanned.
-
documentation and more documentation.
i used to like doing doco when I was younger, now not so much. -
@siringo well better to get it done then forget what you did in 6 months.
“Who the hell did this? That’s a terrible solution! It makes no sense… oh wait, that was me.”
