So my Friend is from India and he set up an AWS account using Upi Autopay. When first setup was complete, he turned off Autopay. The 100$ free credits were present and credited into his account. But he could not access services as AWS asked to complete account details. So he reconnected his UPI but after doing so His Credits now show as 20$. He did not use any service and Billings do not show any service being used. What happened to his credits? Note: The 20$ are not from the small tasks submitted by /u/Blueberrywafflee [link] [comments]

So let me tell the context first, I have an kubernetes environment for production, and for like shared storage solution, I have installed nfs-utils and use the nfs-server service. In my scenario I cannot use cloud as an option. And for long I have been using the nfs-server but I have been facing alot of issues with it. 1. On multiple occasions I found dead or queued nfs processes in worker nodes which made the worker node totally unresponsive sys load was very high but low cpu and ram usage. 2. Something with the nfs4+ client where it uses session. On of the worker node again stopped responding, df -h was not responding rebooted the node still the same issue. And while viewing logs in the nfs node it stated nfsd was blocked and looking it up stated the thread on that worker node was locked due to unknown reason and all the requests from the worker node had just queued up. Restarting the service also hanged and needed to reboot the node itself to resolve the issue. These are some major events there are also other small issues I have faced. I wanted to understand am I the only one facing these issues or this happens with others too, and what resolutions did you used to fix it?

Wanted to ask, it seems like this is the position ideally one would want to reach. As far as what I see, this type of role is mainly there to "oversee" how the IT department is doing and give updates and what not to the C level execs. Plus they get paid good $$$. Anyone here in this type of role and if you can expand on what things are like etc. submitted by /u/SpecialistTeach9302 [link] [comments]

Looking to have a discussion on OSDCloud, are you using a Workspace, have you bundled scripts to push apps and if so how-local installers, winget, chocolatey? Have you used WinRE to use OSDCloud over Wi-Fi, or installed from a Workspace hosted in Azure? Do you pass any secrets to a vault during imaging? Currently configuring a USB to image Win11 and pull driver packs from any of our HP models, update the firmware, and install O365, Teams, NinjaOne. This will really expedite over AutoPilot. Also want to make it available as a backup over Wi-Fi from media hosted in Azure. I haven’t seen much updates from Segura on OSDCloudv2 since a few months after Recast acquired it but I think it’s a pretty mature solution. submitted by /u/MENTactual [link] [comments]

Running VMware Tools 12.5.3 on a Windows Server 2019 VM (ESXi 7.0 host, not sure exact build off the top of my head, can check if relevant). After the last Tools upgrade I noticed Device Manager now shows two separate "VMware USB Pointing Device" entries under Mice and other pointing devices instead of just one. Older one is dated 10/27/2021, version 12.5.12.0 , listed as VMware Inc, not digitally signed. Newer one is dated 6/13/2024, version 12.5.14.0 , listed as Broadcom Inc, signed by Microsoft Windows Hardware Compatibility Publisher. Checked the device event log on the older one and it was last configured back in 2025. The newer one has a fresh install event from a few days ago with outranked drivers msmouse.inf and input.inf listed. Wondering if anyone has run into this before. Is the old one just a leftover ghost device I can remove with pnputil or Device Manager, or is there a chance both are actually in use (like separate absolute vs relative pointing interfaces)? Also curious if this happens on every VM after a Tools upgrade or if something in our environment triggered it specifically. Trying to figure out if this is worth cleaning up across the rest of our fleet or if it's harmless and I should just leave it alone. submitted by /u/maxcoder88 [link] [comments]

Hi I am in a new role where they use Github for all their repos. I have been using Gitlab exlusively the past 5 years. For CI/CD in my previous role we had a central 'pipelines' repo that was reference in the gitlab-ci file of each project to save teams/projects from repeating work. I want to know if it's possible to do something similar in Github? I'm still learning how it maps to my existing Gitlab knowledge. submitted by /u/tmg80 [link] [comments]

I have been tasked with essentially playing the sysadmin / it role at the company for now. I am trying to find vendors to assist, but due to time constraints having to do much of the work directly. This would be for a facility in Germany. I am trying to work out which deployment options for a new we might have to gather quotes. We have 3-4 heavy engineering applications, each that need fast single core performance and graphics. In one application they recommend a GPU A6000. Each applications' recommended specs are at between 64Gb to 128Gb RAM. Currently we would only have 3 users (one for each application) however we expect this to change quite quickly. Making everything available via VDI on a powerful server or two seems better to me from a management, security and compliance perspective. But I don't understand the network, or hardware requirements that it imposes and whether it's practical from a usability point of view. Also I assume there's more server setup required and complexity than is necessary for our current business' size. Then there's the question of how to sizing the servers vs just purchasing more workstations. submitted by /u/Advanced_Run2922 [link] [comments]

Hey everyone, The Virtual Disk server of one of my virtual machines keeps stopping, I checked the logs and there are no crashed at all, no error codes, nothing. All I see is information saying that the service went to stopped state and therefor I cannot access the Disk Management. I've tried a few things for this, but sadly nothing worked. See blow a list of things that I tired: Sfc /scannow DISM commands Re-registering DLL files Ran diskpart but doesn't work Tried putting VDS to auto and manual, no effect Checked some VDS regkeys and they are okay My backup also doesn't work because I can't connect to Disk Management, rebooting the server fixes the issue temporarily but I just cannot find a permenant fix. Before the reboot I started VDS and it went okay, but as soon as I tried opening Disk Management it failed to connect and VDS went to stopped state. But VDS seemed to be working before I tried opening Disk Management so it looks like something in Disk Management makes the service go to stopped state. Does anyone have an idea? submitted by /u/No_Concentrate2648 [link] [comments]

I currently work as an It support engineer and I’ve gotten some access to Intune and entra ID to perform some basic tasks whenever required, I find it pretty interesting and fun, however I totally understand that entra and intune and m365 admin is a huge ecosystem that usually requires a lot of learning to be good at enough to reach a sys admin level. I am wondering in terms of opportunities in the job market is being good at it open up better career options in the future? Or is it something that is soon to be obsolete and taken over by automation and AI? submitted by /u/Salt_Translator_6274 [link] [comments]

Hi all, In the last month or so, I've been experiencing some issues with RDP internally, where connecting by host name will give invalid credentials, but by IP works fine. This is usually a Kerberos issue from what I've read, and I see event 37 in the DC event logs intermittently, similar to this: ----- Ticket PAC constructed by: BOB-DC2 Client: FAKE.LAN\BOB-DC1$ Ticket for: krbtgt ----- Often these are like this example, where it's one DC talking to another. Environment: 2 sites, with 2 DC's in each site. All DC's are server 2022, with any available patches from Windows update. All member servers are Server 2025, workstations Windows 11. Domain functional level is 2016. It seems like the RDP issue occurs when I try to RDP between sites. We've got an internal VPN so there is no NAT. Like if I try to RDP from Site1-ServerA to any server in Site 2, I get invalid credentials. If I try to RDP to those same servers, using the same user, from another server already in Site 2, it's fine. I see lots of people had similar issues a couple of years ago as Microsoft was pushing out some updates to Kerberos, but these are all newer DC's. We just recently (last 6 months) replaced our older Server 2016 DC's with 2022. We had originally gone with 2025 but were having authentication issues with clients (couldn't unlock their computers without disabling their network connection if at the office), so we spun up the 2022 ones and demoted the 2025 servers. The domain itself has been around for 20 years, so may have some legacy thing lurking somewhere. Things I've tried: -Reset the krbtgt account password twice, 24 hours apart -Updated the internal windows certificate authority so it's issuing Kerberos Authentication template cert's to the DC's, with the template set to Server2016/Windows10 compatibility, and marked the old Domain Controller ones as superseded. I see occasional errors in the event logs about sysvol replication issues, but that looks like it's connection issues or a server being busy during backup, since it's only once or twice a day. Sysvol replication seems to be working fine, password resets and the like are all replicating fine. Any thoughts for where to go from here? submitted by /u/GreenEnvy_22 [link] [comments]

I know SMB 1.0 is bad. Unfortunately the organization I work for has to use it for certain operational needs. This morning I am having some intermittent issues with Windows showing that SMB 1.0 is enabled but with some simple powershell scripts, it seems that it is all disabled. I had to force it back on. I cannot find anything on google about windows update breaking anything. User can't do it. GPO wasn't changed. Just trying to figure out what happened. If anyone has any insight lmk. submitted by /u/Ok-Investment7295 [link] [comments]

Good morning everyone, I'm still very much an Azure newbie. I have a few quick questions regarding the Azure AD B2C deprecation and migration to Microsoft Entra External ID. Is there anything actually changing or is just rebranding (according to an article from 3 years ago)? I'm assuming I won't be able to use portal.azure.com anymore and will need to use the Entra portal URL. My organization has several tenants: a production tenant, 2 dev tenants, and another tenant where we host a bunch of VMs (it's an old 365 tenant). Will any of this stuff be affected? Will our application's URLs containing tenantname.b2clogin, etc. be affected? Thank you in advance! Edit: Forgot to mention that are tenant licenses show as Microsoft Entra ID Free on each tenant, so we aren't using the P1 or P2 licenses. Edit2: Each tenant has several app registrations with secrets, and also API connectors for b2cenrichment if that helps. submitted by /u/No-Illustrator-3075 [link] [comments]

I have a frontend/backend working fine when I use any browser. When I emulate a phone in Chrome, it all works. But any request to the backend as phone in Firefox returns 504 gateway timeout (instant response). The same request works fine in another tab. Any idea what could it be? I use istio for networking (virtual service + gateway). No special config, just routing to the k8s service. submitted by /u/i_sometimes_ [link] [comments]

Hi All, I've seen the deprecation of teams on 2019. My question is, has anyone tried to install since then? has it worked or failed? I'm having explorer crash on startup when trying to open after reinstall, with the deprecation it makes me think that MS have killed the installers. submitted by /u/ItzFLKN [link] [comments]

We are a UK charity and offer guest wi-fi to our visitors. We have SonicWall firewalls and then everything else is Unifi switches, Cloud Key+, Wi-Fi, CCTV and DisplayCast Pros around the building. The Unifi Captive portal seems to work properly with a Unifi Gateway - but we don't have one. Anyone got experience of getting a captive portal working with a non-unifi router/gateway? It seems as though the guest network needs to be able to connect to the CloudKey (which resides on the corporate LAN) to pop up the portal page? What is to stop people browsing to the IP of the CloudKey and hitting the logon screen? How does the Captive portal work with iOS and Android devices? What are my alternatives? We need a way for the guests to accept T&Cs about acceptable use e.g. not looking at p*rn etc. Thanks submitted by /u/iamBLOATER [link] [comments]

had a moment a while back where someone left the company and I assumed IT had fully revoked their access, only to find out weeks later they could still open a couple of shared files. nothing bad happened, but it stuck with me. built a small checker for this you put in the offboarded person's email, it checks whether they still show as active in the directory and whether they still own or have access to anything in Shared Drives. simple status, nothing fancy submitted by /u/Economy_Jeweler_7049 [link] [comments]

We're a mid-size supplier in the EU, not big enough to be in NIS2 scope ourselves, but our largest customer is, and after the npm supply-chain mess a while back they sent us a 40-question security assessment with a contract clause attached, we answer it or we're not a supplier anymore. Answering it means I have to turn around and demand the same evidence from our own suppliers, because half the questions are about how we manage our sub-processors. So I'm getting audited from above and having to audit downward at the same time. The parts where I could answer without having to reach out to any 3rd part were basically all fine, like one question was "How does the organization correlate security events across cloud, on-premises, and OT environments to detect complex attacks?" and the answer was just Splunk, since it can correlate logs and flag threat patterns, another was "How does the organization ensure that critical administrative credentials and secrets are protected by modern encryption, and where is this data physically stored to maintain EU data sovereignty?" We use a self-hosted Passwork so that was also an easy answer, it operates on zero-knowledge and credentials are encrypted client-side using AES-256. Other operational flow questions were also fine. Some questions, however, were infuriating, like the one that prompted me to make this post "You rely on third-party software vendors and digital service providers. Demonstrate the technical process you use to track zero-day vulnerabilities within their code or dependencies. When a critical flaw is announced in a component they use, what cryptographic or automated evidence do they provide to prove your specific deployment is secure or patched within 5 business days?" The hard part is the downstream half, obviously. I now have to get pen test summaries and ISO certificates out of roughly 20 small suppliers, plus breach-notification clauses into every contract, and some of them have no security function at all and will look at my questionnaire the way I first looked at the one I have. I'm stuck on two things, (1) how to get evidence out of small suppliers who don't have it without just dropping them? Some of them are good and Id hate to lose them, and (2) how can I streamline-ish continuously monitoring 20 vendors when I don't have a GRC team or a tool budget (I think the answer to this is to nag upper management into recruiting people). submitted by /u/Lazy_Side_6830 [link] [comments]
