How long until somebody automates an unencrypted efax solution to send massive amounts of sensitive data back and forth between sites because is technically legal and then the inevitable happens

eFax is not an acceptable solution as far as I've been informed. At least for police reports to the Magistrate and whatnot. I offered to set up an eFax solution to send faxes to a physical recipient and I was told that it had to be a POTS line connected to a physical device. I do not know if the same applies to HIPAA or lawyers.

It definitely doesn't for HIPAA, although lot's of people pretend it does.

Having physical lines that tie numbers and services to physical locations is a huge liability and the death of POTS cannot come soon enough. Even our fire alarm monitoring is ethernet with an LTE backup now.

I have a feeling that faxing is so integrated into pol/pro at most banks, insurance companies and government, that its cheaper and less hassle to just license enterprise fax software.

Dick Trauma posted:You can have my copper when you- I'm actually fighting Verizon on this right now. They showed up one day and ripped all the copper out of our building leaving us with no service while they did their transformation to FIOS. Luckily we were mid-renovation so the building was unoccupied but still WHAT THE gently caress?!!? Anywho... fast forward to 2 years later where we are still being billed for a service that doesn't even physically exist at our location. It was a CO-switched block of DIDs that used to be delivered to us via a single copper pair but apparently they can't replace the service as it was. Our only other option is to receive it via PRI which won't directly hook up to our existing fax service and costs 10x as much as the original line did. Billing is asking us for a ticket number where we requested the copper be removed and I'm like, "yo gently caress YOU. We never requested it be removed in the first place."

We have a new location opening and for the first time I am going full VoIP with no dedicated fax line. This should be interesting. Some of the big players in our industry are still married to fax, and it isn't likely to change anytime soon. However with all new staff at a new location getting them used to email to fax might actually work.

Bob Morales posted:My VoIP provider decides to be a dick every 6 months and changes our configuration just enough to break this I have a bunch of Adtran TA924s (24 port channel bank/ATAs) that have been in service for well over a decade on the exact same config files. They occasionally get a firmware update when a security issue or potentially service-impacting bug is discovered but that's it. We actually recently discovered that one of our sites had one installed at the other end of the building that had been forgotten about because no one ever saw it or had to think about it until we couldn't figure out how the site had 113 lines while the tech on site was looking at 96 ports worth of equipment.

Alright can anyone help me brain this? I've got too much going on to wrap my mind around this simple task. I need to remove all security groups from disabled users and add all disabled users to a new security group: "Disabled Users" So obviously Powershell: Find all disabled users. Easy. Pipe that output to - Remove all security groups from all disabled users. Easy? I'm not sure I can remove ALL groups, can I. Like don't they have to have a primary group? Then find all disabled users again and pipe that to add them to "Disabled Users" security group. Maybe I should test this first. Let's see if I can remove my boss from all security groups...

I think the usual recommendation is to make their primary group a group you created that has no rights anywhere, since the normal default of Domain Users is granted all sorts of permissions (read, mostly, but still) all over the domain.

I ate dinner and this seems much easier now. recursive remove-adgroupuser was my hangup. I for some reason thought I might have to assign a new primary group first and then I was trying to figure out how to remove all except the 'Disabled Users' group. I'm also gonna output everything to a file so I know what their permissions were before all of this and who was affected. Definitely gonna test it out on my boss for removing all my o365 permissions. He made me his guinea pig for poo poo he never followed through on so turnabout is only fair play right?

I have been doing this for like 16 years now, been around the block plenty of times. I am not sure if this is a case of 'I want to use google sheets' and we are saying 'well we use excel for spreadsheets and it's a well established bit of software within the company' or if this is a case of 'I want to use _software' and the answer is going to be 'oh I don't think we have anything in the authorised catalogue for this request' my gut feeling is I think it will be some advanced part of the o365 package, so it's a bit more like 'I want to use _software_' and we are going to say 'we use _other_software_' I also suspect only like 5 other people will bother to use whatever it is she is after, so HR will fuss because you aren't familiar and I suspect knowledge and support wont be widely available If this new HR person can justify to the greater IT department that there is a reason to go with this software then sure, I don't care, but there is a process and we are about to go through it. I'm not saying the process should say no and IT should 'win' - as a spectator I'm professionally interested in if she has the clout to get her way as that doesn't usually happen - in principle I agree we should support business getting done.

Wow. People are really loving terrible at video chat. I just joined an "Employee Committee" meeting and is it a shitshow. Mute / mute are just completely foreign concepts to people apparently. As is using headphones, so the whole meeting is just one giant echo chamber. And the one guy who was talking the whole time on mute just unmuted himself when he was done and his phone is constantly ringing.

When employees leave I place them in a Disabled Users OU. Before we have O365 I would use PS to export their mailbox to a PST for archiving and after a certain amount of time delete the mailbox from the on-prem Exchange server. With O365 our MS rep said that instead I could convert the employee's mailbox into a Shared Mailbox because that doesn't require a license. I gave that a try, but after the conversion when I removed the employee's E3 license the mailbox vanished, never to be seen again. Either there's an intermediate step to disconnect the shared mailbox from a specific user's license, or that MS rep was wrong. I've been using the O365 compliance features to do a content search so I can export mailboxes to PST, just like before, but I feel like there has to be a better way to keep mail available after an employee leaves that doesn't use an E3 license.

Fun fact: If you convert a sync'd active directory user mailbox into a shared mailbox (that can't be logged into) , if you ever break the sync from the old active directory acount in the future the mailbox goes poof.

Regarding your scenario, elevators are designed to return to a given safe landing area when the fire alarm is triggered. If someone were to get extremely unlucky and be experiencing an elevator failure at the same time as a fire, fire crews arriving at the site would know that something's up because the elevator isn't there.

We do the shared mailbox thing in our organization when we offboard. The mailbox is no longer visible in the mailboxes area of Exchange though, you have to go to the Shared Mailboxes area. I don't think there's an intermediate step when we do it. We just use the Set-Mailbox cmdlet in powershell with the -"Type Shared" switch.

With all this talk, just a friendly PSA to turn on Active Directory recycling bin. And consider looking at a product that can back up and restore AD in a granular fashion, you can restore just a single object or properties of an object.

Literally, go check that it's on as soon as you can. I had been at a job for 3 months and was taking my first day off due to lots of 12-14 hour days. Get a panicked call from my manager that a dev had deleted one of the OUs and all of the users and groups in it from the development AD. Told him it was no big deal, because it should be in the recycle bin. Long story short, a developer was "trying to save money" so he turned it off thinking it would reduce the amount of space required. That was not a fun weekend.

They were visible and working until I removed the original user's license. MS confirmed that they were completely gone, and that there's no recovery options. I had archived backups from the on-prem Exchange server so I can at least extract their old mailboxes from the time of our switch to O365. Better than nothing.

The way the NHS emails work, anyone whose a local admin can give themselves any access to an account under their organisation. One guy in another team gave himself access to his managers' account and when an email would come in, he'd call out "you seen this email!?!?!" to his boss. He was reading them before his boss even saw them. It became such a thing that one of my co-workers in that team would start all his emails to his boss "to manager and that employee" because he knew he read them all.
