spankmeister posted:docx et al being zip files is fun and all but did y'all know that the legacy .doc format is almost like a FAT filesystem? IIRC they were effectively just OLE objects saved to a file, at least in the '97-03 variant.

wolrah posted:IIRC they were effectively just OLE objects saved to a file, at least in the '97-03 variant. Yeah, the format is specifically called an OLE Compound Document. And I've also done way too much hacking/attempted rescue of XLSX files with unzip and a text editor. Such as when someone somehow manages to make one million rows of explicit formatting data that causes editing in Excel to feel like molasses.

So I am part of an outsourced helldesk. Some clients pay our company $$$ for us to be their exclusive helldesk, others we're only the after-hours team. This means that every client's systems and what permissions and software we have to do administrative tasks vary from firm to firm. So I'm having to teach myself SCCM by trying to figure out why this poor lady's Acrobat Pro install has been stuck at "Downloading (0%)" in Software Center since yesterday afternoon. I think it's at least in part because the documentation we had said to put the user in $collection, but you can't do that. You can only put devices in $collection. So now I have to try to get back on her system to force a policy retrieval and she's not at her desk to hit the "allow" button. And on top of it, work other tickets because they don't stop coming.

You can also unzip password protected excel documents and remove the password from them by editing the xml of the protected sheet and deleting the specific line of code saying this is a password protected sheet lol

Well, at least they're not saving plaintext passwords in the file.  On the plus side: this knowledge let me regain access to some files I'd lost the password to.

This means that every client's systems and what permissions and software we have to do administrative tasks vary from firm to firm. I almost missed this. Check the status of the Distribution Point just to make sure it's not throwing a billion errors at you and is on (Monitoring > Distribution Status > Distribution Point Config Status). Assuming all is good there and reporting well, the next thing I would look at is the status of the deployment (Monitoring > Deployments > Search for the deployment of the package) and see what the status is. If it's stuck on "waiting for content" I would probably try and clear the SCCM cache on the machine, reboot, and try again. nielsm posted:Isn't there a way to trigger a policy update via PowerShell or other remote management (that isn't a remote desktop)? I don't think there's a cmdlet that does this and you'd have to script it through WMI. Recast Right-click Tools definitely has an option for this though.

I could be wrong but I was under the impression that from the SCCM console under Assets and Compliance you could right click on the device then "Client Notifications" --> "Download Computer Policy" to trigger a policy retrieval/update.

Hey buddy, I understand you've been having problems for 4 days but this ticket you put in is dated today and it's first come first serve. I actually took care of it but that's because I saw the case after the phones closed while skimming through cases for stuff I can fix without the resident, buried in a bunch of other tickets all put in today. Sometimes I wonder if people don't want to call in because they feel if it's a dumb issue or already being worked on we'll get mad or something but that's just me projecting since they then turn around and start bitching at our tier 1 that they've been down for days so it can't be anything like anxiety or shame

I recently helped clean up after a phishing attack was successful and you'd be amazed how many users DID NOT click on the link or enter their credentials. Shame turns into rage to cover for the user pretty drat fast TBH.

Johnny Aztec posted:Might there be a trick like this for removing password from a zip file? No, the password protection on a ZIP file is just the mutual password of each of the files it contains, which are actually encrypted in AES-CBC. But you can open that container to list the files it contains and replace them without knowing that password. And I suppose if you actually have several smaller documents and you can start making guesses at what the data looks like based on file extensions, it may actually be cryptographically feasible to break that encryption outright. Not something I would spend time on, but maybe someone already published some rainbow tables.

But those are pretty rare to deal with these days.

We have been struggling with this issue for two months and we are very upset! Fix this now Now NOW! Oh no! When did you first notify us about your issue? this morning!This crap happens all the time. You were grumpy about this for two months and we are just now hearing about this from you? Maybe engage with us as soon as you start your project. I could have one of the guys who wrote the service get on the phone and tell you how it works. But no, you want to reinvent the wheel and work on your own and suffer in frustration for two months before contacting us because that is waaaaay more effective.

"This is still a problem! It's been a problem for months! Why isn't there a fix?" "I asked you for logs. Did you get the logs for me yet?" "No, that's too much work!"/[total ghosting]/"But why can't you do it for me?"/"JUST FIX IT" The best part? The source of the problem is too many security agents. My recommendation? Consolidate and use fewer. Security's recommendation? LOL gently caress HER HEY ALSO DEPLOY THIS NEW AV CLIENT KTHX.
