Re: [NTSysADM] Managed Anti-Malware for Servers

I have never been a proponent of AV on servers because like others have mentioned it causes way more problems than it fixes. That said, can recent AV detect ransomware encrypted files? I would think not because it isn't really an infected file per se, just encrypted. But if it had logic to

Disable all touchpad features if you haven't tried already - two finger scrolling, tap touchpad to click, zoom in/out, etc. Leave it at straight mouse movement and clicking only with the hard buttons and see if it persists. 2016-11-16 15:56 GMT-06:00 John Neish : > If

Re: [NTSysADM] AV setup question

Rick's idea is a great way to do it, kudos. I've never worked with the Intel compute stick, but this small Win10 PC worked very well at one of my clients for $179 https://smile.amazon.com/MINIX-NEO-Z83-4-Dual-Band-Technology/dp/B01M24W77N/ Some double sided velcro tape mounted it to the back of

Re: [NTSysADM] Dropping Kaspersky Av, who to replace it with?

Yep they all suck and they will all disappoint you. I use Symantec Cloud because it's cheap and stays out of the way, catches the random thing but nothing to write home about. Sophos' Intercept anti-Ransomware tech seems interesting, have a client using it but haven't gone in depth. On Thu, Sep

Re: [NTSysADM] Crosspost: clearing the autocomplete cache

If you delete everyone's autocomplete cash, you are going to have a full scale riot on your hands. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend you don't do that. People use that exponentially more than contacts in my experience, they won't know what to do. On Thu, Nov 30, 2017 at 10:04 AM, Heaton,

Re: [NTSysADM] RE: Crosspost: clearing the autocomplete cache

If you do have to bring a file back after removing, be sure and to COPY the backup over and not simply rename it. I've run into multiple times during o365 migrations where a previous autocomplete.dat file gets renamed yet gets wiped out when starting outlook the first time. Do it a second time

It seems that just about every "inexplicable issue involving network communication" issue recently is because Windows keeping putting one or both computers in the public network and you have to switch it to work/private. It maybe not be it and in this case it's only one computer/side, but it's

Re: [NTSysADM] Server build recommendation

Just chiming in as well to absolutely do the standard Server 2016 and avoid OEM essentials. You'll get two virtual licenses - one for the main/essentials system and one for TImberline. The total PITA of the Essentials license and hokey virtualization setup is not worth it. At all. Did it once
