I wonder how many people are going to run into issues on October 10th related to CVE-2022-37967 and patch #KB5020805

That's when the KrbtgtFullPacSignature Audit gets removed and the setting locks to Enforced.

How is it 2023 and vendors are STILL disabling server firewalls instead of opening up the ports they need????? 🤬 #SysAdmin #InfoSec #InfoTech #MSP #ITSupport

How am I this old and just discovered Shift+Mouse Scroll???? 🤯 #SysAdmin #InfoTech #Windows

Never overlook the simplest solutions...

Client: My printer is offline - I can't print
Me: OK. Let's try the following
Proceed to walk them through power cycle printer, check WiFi is Private mode, check for new printer driver, bad print job, restart Print Spooler, etc)
Do network IP scan - no printer...
Me: Um... your printer has a wireless button that should be lit blue. Is it?
Client: Awkward pause.... "No"
Me: OK press it
Client: It's printing!!!

I never thought I would spend this much of my life (and eventually money) researching ultrasonic cleaners. 😬 #MSP #InfoTech #RightToRepair

I want those 4 hours of my life back. User's HP printer stuck in a firmware update loop. Tries to download. Fails. Rinse repeat every day. Clearly an #HP side problem, but their forums swear just reinstall the drivers to fix it 🙄

Driver reinstall is hanging during the background software suite download. Hmmm - coincidence? I think NOT! Somehow the printer hard resets to defaults - no big deal, right? RIGHT???

Oh, but dear reader... They subscribe to HP Instant Ink!

They insist we have to pay them the renewal and next year be sure to cancel 28 days in advance. Oh hell no. The card they had on file was expired so - whatever.

They actually turned us over to collections!!! Added a $150 in fees. Are you serious right now?? 😂 You can't just set an arbitrary cancellation deadline, then say PAY ME. Needless to say they won't see a dime. What a scummy business practice #TeamViewer Do better.

#Infotech #RMM #MSP #SysAdmin

Unreal how scummy #Teamviewer is. We used them as a backup quickremote support option if we had any trouble with our RMM or to deal with non managed clients. It did the job simple enough, was white labeled, and we'd used them for years. This year they jacked their prices WAY up, so we decided to finally cancel and move to something else. 2 weeks before our renewal, we try to cancel. "Sorry you must cancel 28 days before your renewal" LOL no. Cancel. They refuse..

I've worked in IT a long time, and I don't think there's anything more tedious than having to replace or reset your primary phone. Soooo many apps to sign into, reconfigure, set battery restrictions, 2FA. 🤬

#InfoTech #SmartPhones #Android

Meanwhile the likes of #Google and #TPLink are doing the same thing. PLEASE bring back web based router administration. You are killing the ability of #MSPs to remotely assist clients with setup. It is ridiculous to have to install #Bluestacks to run #GoogleHome or #MySpectrum or whatever TP-Link apps there are. Mobile apps are great for self setup, just stop getting rid of the web interface.
#InfoTech #SysAdmin #ISP #WiFi

How in the world is an #ISP like #Spectrum deploying routers that a) only allow configuration from a mobile app and b) don't let you change the LAN IP. #SysAdminNightmares

Sure, let me reconfigure the entire business network because you swapped out their router yesterday and didn't ensure they had the same LAN numbering. Where do I send the bill? 🤬 #MSP #InfoTech #Internet

Vendors. If you're in a multi vendor environment and your product isn't working, don't just say "it's the other vendor's fault" or the #MSP network. Prove it. Provide data. Otherwise, I promise you, the #SysAdmin will advocate that you never be recommended elsewhere. Ever. 🤬

Vendors who participate, even when it turns out not to be their issue... Are the vendors you recommend. #InfoTech

Laptop OEMs. I'm begging you... Please pick ONE SET OF PARTS for a given model. Why do you make me completely disassemble to find the part number when the client NEEDS it back until the parts arrive??? Otherwise, make sure the online component list tied to serial is ALWAYS every single label in the system. Please. We're begging. #msp #infotech #laptoprepair #dell #hp #lenovo #Awhatever

Maybe this week I'll finally get a vendor to send me the exact UPS batteries I ordered. We're on, no joke, set #5. 🤷 #InfoTech #MSP #SysAdmin

TFW your phone has faster Internet than your house 🤷 #TMobile #Internet #InfoTech

Ah #PatchWeek how we've missed you...

Just once... can we have machines restart when they're configured to AND not blow up after? 🤬

#Microsoft #MSP #SysAdmin #InfoTech

Any company that requires you to cancel an annual subscription 28 days in advance, otherwise they force renew you, needs to be launched into the sun. Glad the card is expired! 😂 #TeamViewer #Infotech #ShadyBusiness #MSP

This is the stuff of #SysAdminNightmares We moved our office ~4 years ago. Just down the street. So we grabbed our cable modem and plugged it in at new office - worked great. Paying bill couple weeks ago happened to notice the old address still listed. Whoops. Forgot to tell them - ok. So I call and tell #Spectrum I need to update service address. Everything works great. "Oh well you might be somehow using the old person's service, so we need to send a tech out. It'll cost $99" #MSP #InfoTech

Never ceases to amaze me the creative ways #Windows 10/11 can 'eat itself'. Recovery/Auto Repair are great - but how often do they work. And seriously - how can you present 8+ restore points then say 'You need to enable system protection on this drive' when you try to use one? Oh look! System restore finished and yet 'failed to restore registry' Ugh. It's gotten SO much better in so many ways, but DAMN, still pull hair out. #MSP #SysAdmin #InfoTech

#TMobile may be the 'un-carrier' but their fee structure for #10DLC #TCR SMS/Text Campaigns is completely ridiculous. Charging a $250 fine if you have a registered campaign but don't text a T-Mobile number in two months? Why would small businesses even risk that if their volume of texting is low? #InfoTech #VoIP #SMS #MSP
