Nothing like going to open up Event Viewer to validate something with another team only to have it launch cmd.exe because you were testing out UAC bypasses earlier in the day. I forgot the golden rule of running through something before you present it to other people.

For us, DOB is used as an indentifying metric for manual remote password resets, so it’s stored in an ad attribute when the account is created.

SSNs were never meant to be top secret skeleton keys for ID theft and this dumb lazy country is idiots for making them into that.

Any other agency issuing a number would turn out the same. It's never made sense why SSNs are treated like some special issue but, say, alternate ID numbers aren't. There's quite a few countries out there where people are expected to regularly enter national ID numbers when using government and business websites.

sfwarlock posted:Clear cache What's funny is that this really does fix about 90% of our IT problems in the contact center. The problem is that they use this huge mess of tools that pull on the IE framework, so clearing the cache doesn't actually clear the cache until you close all the tools. Last week we performed an upgrade on an internal, web based tool. I was on 3 separate bridge calls throughout the day just from outages being opened up by the contact centers where it turns out nobody was clearing their cache right each time. Well, 2 of the bridges were to yell at them to clear their cache. The 3rd was because nobody read the patch notes, and the mysterious new error messages they were getting when trying to do something dumb were new features to prevent them from doing something dumb.
