Notably, the October 8 surge wasn’t an isolated episode. Ferguson’s earlier telemetry showed that Aisuru had already launched major assaults in mid-September, including a series of multi-terabit strikes targeting networks that serve popular online gaming communities, including Minecraft servers, Steam, and Riot games Reading is hard sometimes isn’t it? How in the world are you a sys admin if you can’t read 1 article and comprehend it?

I said “my server host”. So, still wrong, but at least we are closer to comprehension. I rent a box, from a data center, and run multiple virtual servers off of it. *high five* champ.

Is it me or are you finding the new generation of techs have little to no troubleshooting skills?

Computers work these days. This generation didn’t have to troubleshoot their home computers. Software installs via App Store and not cd Roms or floppy’s. My buddy is a teacher and half the kids don’t know about turning it off and on again. They just want a new chrome book.

UPDATE: Bosses are about to learn the hard way what some MSPs are really like.

That mindset is why you will be gone. It was mine. I got let go. Your job changed to supporting the MSP. Your company struggles, it’s your struggle as well. You are still considered IT. The first one they will come to when shit happens. Change your mindset while you look for another job if you need. But it will make you a lot happier.

I think you are going about this the wrong way: You company made a financial decision to lower IT costs to 120k/year plus your/your team salary. And you are doing your best to show them they were wrong to choose a msp. Which do you think is going to happen first? Letting go the squeaky wheel or break a 3 year contract? Your job has changed. You are the sys admin. You are the owner of the IT account now. Yes, they came in and switched your network stack. That’s because their technicians are trained and used to working in 1 or 2 environments. Is it what I would choose? Nope, we use only Cisco and veeam for our clients. We ask new clients to switch over because we can’t work in 4 different network environments and keep them up to snuff with security and troubleshooting. We have loads of internal IT at our clients who help with the success of the partnership. Your c-suite made this decision. They made it for a reason. Badmouthing the MSP to your leadership team isn’t the path forward. Even if they agree, here you are calling them idiots. Has that ever ended well?

Is there a simple way to train staff to avoid phishing without boring them to death?

What do you think users are most afraid of? Shame, if people fall for phishing, shame them. Boom, people pay attention. But in reality: lunch and learn with the stats of phishing. It’s insane how much money was lost last year to compromised accounts. That tends to stick with people.

New job as an internal IT Manager, but EVERYTHING is managed by an MSP

I work at an MSP. We have clients who have an on-site IT team. They are amazing, and utilize us and manage the contract. They also have domain admin, which, for op is weird to not. If the MSP isn’t performing well, and you want to learn, there is no reason your business can’t request for a shared service board where you can work on tier 1-2 tickets. There are shit MSP’s out there. There are great ones. Find the one who doesn’t view internal IT as a problem, but rather a god send. It’s so much more economical to have the internal people do the onsite triage like loose wires, hold down the power button for a full reset, get out loaners to redeploy.

If you make fema look like the bad guy, then you can close it; privatize it, and it looks better while being way worse. 100% this is their plan.

If I said to you "open AD and find the user account John Smith" in a Service Desk interview would you understand the question?

Homie hasn’t heard of azure only environments before lol. We had a tech come in, green, yes, but didn’t know AD at all. Showed him the ropes, and he took off. Find the person you want on your team, and teach him the skills for your company.

I’ve had 9 Adobe managers in 10 months. They introduce themselves in an email and I get a new introduction next month. Gotta say, I have never felt Adobe has ever had their shit together.

College Closing - I have to wipe and image all the unencrypted drives...

I’ve done this for early education, power, bio science, and industrial. They all want shredded drives, per their insurance. OP is asking for advice, not to re-educate the insurance system.

Insurance wants certificates of destruction. Every time. Go ahead and tell them why they are wrong, they will say shut up little IT boy and shred the drives.
