Anyone recommend a good flexible password manager

Posted by NteworkAdnim@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 66 comments

Previous-Low4715@reddit

I've used 1password for years and found it excellent. I've also used Bitwarden, which is good, Lastpass which is no longer good, and Keeper which feels a bit dated and fussy.

Anyone else have contractors who can still log into GitHub months after their contract ended?

Inherited network in a bad state. which brand do I pick for hardware refresh in my situation?

Keep spares with zero touch config. It’s been a journey, I took over this place five years ago and we’ve been managing 100+ sites with zero scalability up to now. Unifi fabrics solved that issue at least.

I run over 100 sites for a single org on Unifi. Very recently they’ve announced a raft of features to properly manage sites at scale, it’s called Unifi Fabrics.

I made a nice one in Azure which emails our service desk weekly when anything is due to expire in the next 30 days and when one has expired. Vibe coded, runs daily.

Is your IT purchasing department unreasonable?

Yes both, it's done via a business account, our finance team sign off individual products and categories, so they came to IT for example to get a list of everything we provide/approve/recommend etc.

In terms of Amazon, we just went through months of work to set up a purchasing portal into Amazon where individual products, and shopfronts can be approved so people can buy stuff from there if it’s on an approved list. This removes the counterfeits. I assume it’s part of Amazon business but not really my area

We have the same number of people supporting ten times as many users across 100 sites. It sounds a little like you’re in the Dunning Kruger phase of your career where you don’t know what you don’t know. Your problems sound very normal. Cloud has been here for 10+ years now and isn’t going anywhere, if your company are paying for your education without hesitation you should just study what you want to do and then leave. What little you’ve explained of your work sounds like typical infrastructure engineering, architecture is generally becoming highly attuned to the needs of the business/organisation itself and delivering on business need while balancing risk and budgets.

Looking for simple and cheap replacement for MDT that isn't FOSS.

Posted by SimplifyAndAddCoffee@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 22 comments

Previous-Low4715@reddit

If it’s a brand new hard drive for example you can either use manufacturer repair to grab a new iso with drivers, set us a WDS server (note you asked about MDT, not WDS) or just put a Windows ISO on your keyring. Manufacturer is the preferred method as the drivers are prebaked. I have switched an org to autopilot from WDS/MDT and they’ve rebuilt hundreds of machines without needing sticks or WDS though. Autopilot + Dell Prodeploy has saved my service desk about ten hours per laptop. The solution you’re describing is kind of old hat now, although it is vendor agnostic which is nice!

SharePoint storage nearing quota - how are you handling this at scale?

Posted by hakdugka@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 14 comments

Previous-Low4715@reddit

If you buy a single copilot 365 license you can unlock advanced management for SharePoint for your entire tenant (MS want to fudge the uptake numbers I guess) which includes SharePoint lifecycle management and archiving sites off to azure storage for a fraction of the cost

What's your opinion/experience with implementing Entra ID Passkeys?

Posted by Arrow2899@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 34 comments

Previous-Low4715@reddit

Yeah, we have a hybrid environment and we are bound to the NCSC guidance (as we're a government bureau) which now states passwordless by default. Which doesn't really play with AD to Entra synced accounts for many resources. And we are one of the more modern orgs.

It’s the same handling as any other data in M365 in a GDPR etc bound location, you use a tool like purview with trainable classifiers to identify the data in your environment and enforce data boundaries through DLP and so on. Copilot data does not leave your tenant.

You can see whether you’re protected or not, at least in copilot, by hovering over the protection icon in most copilot enabled apps. But like the other guy said, in theory all your prompts are visible by IT or information management team
