Only "manua"l entry is phones where we copy the serial of the number to the app before pushing, pcs is fully automatic with Ninjaone, every computer added to NinjaOne automatically runs the glpi agent install/update and then once per day.

Azure Files Review

Posted by garyrobk@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 31 comments

I'm in the exact same position as you, we currently have a on prem server plus Nextcloud (also synced to the on prem) to sync when people are at jobsites outside of the main office, most of them, nextcloud alone has close to 3tb of project files, mainly cad drawings like DWG and documents but also photos and videos. We have people a bit all over the world and Management wants us to move everything from the on prem servers to sharepoint by next week... we are talking of close to 5TB of data of mainly documents and said project files. From the quick research the Azure files looks like it's what makes the most sense but it looks expensive and I have no idea how the performance will be and the syncing work for the big files we have. Permissions is even worse. If you figure it out be sure to reply.

Modern Alternatives to SSL VPNs. What’s Actually Working Long Term?

We have been using the draytek Smarvpn client since it doesn't need admin rights but sometimes it's a bit hard to get it working, doing the same steps most of the times it works the first time and others we need to remove and tunnels a couple of times. Do you happen to have the code for it?

Happy Thanksgiving, fellow sysadmins. I’m the new (and first) in-house IT Administrator for a ~70-endpoint company. No servers, no domain, and until two weeks ago everything went through an MSP. Now all requests come to me first, and I escalate only when necessary. Here’s what I walked into:

Advice on Domain Server 2012 R2 migration to 2022/2025

Posted by Toinopt@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 39 comments

Toinopt@reddit (OP)

Thanks for sharing your experience, we have decided to buy a new server, not only because it will make all of this easier but also because we need more and better structured storage, right now from what I understand all of the storage is in single discs with no redundancy and backups exist but are far from perfect with some folders not being backed up. Also the 2022 server already has 2 VM's running so we can't add any more without having to purchase more licenses.

Toinopt@reddit (OP)

Yeah, I don't think we can get two servers approved, will need to be 1, any recommendations for the server hardware? And what do you think is the best to migrate all the files while keeping the shares and permissions?

Toinopt@reddit (OP)

3 questions: 1 - The "Do the same again" is to have two domain controllers right? 2- Do you think it would be ok to do all of this in a single hyperv host? We don't have any free servers, the ISCSI server is really old and at least to me it doesn't make sense to have it, after talking a bit we are thinking in buying a new server and consolidate everything in one server but its all on different VM's. Does this seem right? 3- If we were to do all in one server we would need a datacenter license right?

Constant remote access problems since going hybrid

Do you mind sharing the tool you are using? We are having some issues with VPN and I don't think Ninjaone works for what you said.

Hey sysadmin. Can we talk about chairs?

This 100%, im similar in size to you and i miss it everyday im at work without it, I was working in shifts with hybrid work so it was around half the time remote and I have sat on the secretlab titan evo chair continuously for almost 27 hours straight only leaving to eat or bathroom and 0 backpain, both then and now at my work after sitting for 1 or 2 hours my back hurts and im constantly changing position, on the secretlab I kept the back straight and barely moved around. well worth the €600+, I have thought about buying one for work more than once.

Free open source Ticketing System for IT support

I implemented GLPI at my work mainly for Asset Management but the helpdesk is awesome too, iirc you can't escalate a ticket by default but theres a free plugin that does I think, ours is running in a Hetzner VPS on docker using barely any resources, full system is using 2.88gb of ram and around 5% cpu and its got another 2 or 3 containers also running. We were using OSTickets before and since we switched to GLPI I won't go back to OSTickets.

NinjaOne remote desktop

Teamviewer doesn't even come close to what NinjaOne is able to do, yes the teamviewer remote access is slightly better than Ninja but we are in the process of migrating from TV to Ninja right now and i only use NinjaOne remote access now, if it doesn't have it the first thing I do is access with teamviewer, install NinjaOne, close TeamViewer and access with Ninja. But where NinjaOne shines is the automation, miles ahead of TV.

I bet mine is one of the weirdest ones, installation/maintenance of railway dynamic and static scale systems and weighbridge scale systems used to measure wood density in paper pulp plants.

My Walmart chair is dying, what’s actually worth buying?

I have a secret lab titan Evo V2, got it last year and I fucking love it, I'm a bigger guy and heavy(185cm and around 140kg right now) but it's the best, kinda of hugs me in all the right spots and the bottom foam is stiff at first but I can say that after sitting on it for almost 27 hours straight it doesn't have the same issue as other chairs with softer foam where they sag and you have the butt resting on the plate below the foam. Even the ones I had at work that cost almost the same price and had a mesh back with soft foam would start hurting my back after 3 or 4 hours and I never had a good posture while on the secret lab I can have my back straight with the lumbar support just perfect, ohh and the magnetic pillow for the neck is awesome too.

IT admin in a company that’s never had someone in my position

Posted by AufderReiseumdieWelt@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 161 comments

Toinopt@reddit

I'm in a similar boat as OP, just started at a company where there was only one IT managing everything and there's no automation, main AD server is on server 2012, a couple of newer 2022 servers and around 200 users worldwide, no asset management, laptop deployments are done manually, creating a admin a account for administration and a local user without admin, not connected to Domain, setting up a computer takes atleast 1 to 2 hours for everything and it's a pain. Planning to setup Snipe-IT next week but I also in need to of some advice, what would be the best way to go about this? Not how much money we could spend on Management software but seeing as a single engineer can have a 3K a year licence for cad stuff I don't see why we couldn't spend around the same or a bit more if it means we having to spend less time doing everything manually and have more time to actually help the users and be able to look into upgrade the servers and stuff? Thanks for any help.

How do you document?

I'm also using wiki.js for a beamng gaming server and I love the interface minus the buttons that do nothing because they haven't been implemented, are you using wiki.js directly or something on top of that?

Vivaldi is by far the best for everything and especially productivity, to the point that I use it against the company rules, should only be using chrome but needing to have around 30 tabs open to efficiently do my work chrome sucks.
