rolleyes posted:Well you can obviously catch the event which is triggered when a user closes the app (either by clicking the red [x] or [alt]+[f4]) but if that's happening from a web popup then you've got more pressing things to worry about - like your PC almost certainly being rooted already. Or the developer just used some JavaScript. I'm sure that can be used in some malicious way.

J posted:Some of them definitely poo poo up their machine, but we also have a few special snowflakes who find ways to slow their computers down for reasons I can't explain. One user in particular comes to mind, his laptop is pretty recent - purchased early this year, has 3GB of ram, and is pretty much only used for outlook and filling in various web forms with a sprinkle of excel. Yet this laptop is slow as gently caress, and I can't figure out why. No traces of spyware/viruses, startup is clear of crapware, user hasn't downloaded or installed anything that I can tell. It's slow, they complain about it daily, and I'm honestly baffled. I've had similar issues myself. Two things usually fixed it: Cleaning the fans (sometimes it was like a mouse got caught in it) and replacing the battery / power brick. We're moving from the HP6910p to the Lenovo T410. Biggest complaint so far? The Fn and Ctrl keys are switched. Why isn't there a standard for that yet? Ctrl Fn Win Alt for life

How many companies lose enough money to even justify bothering with something like that? The filter here is extremely strict, but oddly enough SA forums are allowed (otoh waffleimages isn't, neither is the main site). I guess we have a goon as network admin...

madmaan posted:If a user is remote and needs his ad password reset, he will be left with a password that was given to him by the helpdesk that he can't change himself for 24 hours. Its a combination of the fact that our retarded vpn client software will drop the vpn connection upon logging off the system, but there isn't a single way of the user creating a password only he knows that bypasses the 0 days old rule. Check User has to change password at login?

In their eternal wisdom, the management team has enforced Bitlocker to Go on all writable removable media. And disabled the recovery keys. You can still unlock them with your password, but if you forget it then you're poo poo outta luck. Guess what happens next
