report/quick way to find which systems are up or down
Hi All
I have the on-prem OLD version of Spiceworks and working well with Helpdesk/Inventory. Most of my systems have the agent installed, and I get full info on the workstations. However, maybe I haven't dug into this, but does anyone know how to find out (a report or table would be great) that I could run to tell me which systems are ON or OFF?
I set all systems to power off at night after updates/virus scans. So I want to know which machines have been turned on in the morning in case I need to RDP into them to make an admin change.
Thanks.

marking messages as junk office 365 newest outlook client aol verizon imap issue
I just did a fresh install of windows 10 and the newest office 365 download on a client's system.
I configured there email in outlook using the aol verizon imap settings.
I first used:
Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.aol.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net IMAP-993-SSL
SMTP-465-SSL
then tried after issue:
Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server
• Server - export.imap.aol.com
• Port - 993
• Requires SSL - Yes
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server
• Server - smtp.aol.com
• Port - 465
• Requires SSL - Yes
• Requires authentication - Yes
The 2nd server option when we would do that the message would just disappear even removing the block does not bring it back on outlook.

Cable modem connected to a surge protector or outlet
I always had purchased my own devices to use with Comcast. I just did some research online. Should a cable modem be plugged into a surge protector/battery backup or directly into the wall outlet? I only use APC products, the best ones. So what do you think?
I have my surveillance camera DVR plug directly in the wall because it was suggested by Samsung, and Swann.

How to span displays with HP Thunderbolt dock. New Macbook running Mojave
I have two external monitors connected via an HP Thunderbolt G2 but both show the same mirrored screen. I have turned off mirroring and unchecked the box marked Displays have separate spaces in Mission Control. The problem seems to be that under Displays it only shows two boxes representing the laptop monitor and one external. I tried "Detecting Monitor" but nothing changes.

Powershell comparing to $null. Left and Right side matter
I learned something earlier this week that was news to me and I thought I'd share.
I saw a script
Powershell
if($null-eq$User){#do stuff}I thought this was odd, why would you compare null to something? null is always null, and having it on the left side of the comparison just looked odd.
As it turns out, having it on the left or right can produce different results.
Powershell
$a="Hello World"$a-eq$null#Returns False$a="Hello",$null,"World",$null$a-eq$null#Returns Nothing, was expecting to return false as the variable is not empty.$null-eq$a#Returns False as expected.($a-eq$null).count#Returns 2So what's happening here is that when you have an array, having $null on the right side of the comparison acts like a filter, and if there are null elements, those are returned as the result, which is not what...

One time passcode but single factor authentication
Hi all, hope you're all coping with working at home if you're at that point by now ;-)
Anyway, I wanted to put this question out there as I've been thinking about it and it doesn't feel right but need a good valid reason to get them to change this to 2-factor authentication.
We have a VPN (openvpn) configured to accept a username and a passcode generated by google authenticator and that is it, no other password required. Now, to me, that is quite obviously single factor authentication but uses a one time based passcode. I've tried to think of a good reason why we should include a password and one time passcode. Anyone got any ideas or thoughts on this?

IP-HTPPS issue with Remote Access setup Windows Server 2019
In response to the current pandemic, my company has tasked me with setting up Remote Access to allow our staff to work from home. I have run into a snag that appears to involve the Adapter settings and IP-HTTPS.
The server is running Microsoft Windows2019
The messages I am currently receiving are:
Network Adapters: Not Working Properly
Causes:
Routes required to send packets to the corporate network have not been published on adapter Internal. These routes are required for remote clients to reach the corporate network.
Resolution:
Publish the IPv6 routes on the network adapter that connects the server to the corporate network.
IP-HTTPS state is unknown
The operational status of Route publish cannot be determined.

Connecting to same server from office and home with same IP address
Hi all, I'm using OpenVPN and I'm quite a newbie here. I have a OpenVPN server in our office. Our accountant access to all data on that server (192.168.1.51/24). When she goes home and use OpenVPN to connect to server, she has to change Server IP to 10.8.0.1 (as OpenVPN default). Her IP at home should be 192.168.1.x/24 just as on office (thanks to router)
Is there any way to modify the server config file to help her keep the original address of server (192.168.1.51) even when she is at home?
Server config file below, client config file is as default

Mass adding users to Security Group in A/D
I have a Security Group (Domain/Groups/Messaging) in A/D for my Encrypted Messaging Users. I was tasked with adding ALL of our Faculty/Staff members (but not students). I've been trying to find a way to do this in the A/D Users & Computers GUI and have not been able to find a way to selectively tag and add the needed users. The users exist in (Domain/People/Managed). I have over 400,000 users (students/employees) in this A/D group, only 1,500 or so of them (employees) need to be added to this Security Group. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated. BTW, I'm not a PowerShell guru. I know the commands needed to maintain what I have, but an not much of script writer.

Editing the OVA Layout
Let me preface this by saying I have little to no experience in web design at all!
So I've spend the past couple of days setting up the new OVA On Prem Help Desk. Now I have it running on a local VM with a valid self-signed certificate, AD authentication is working perfectly and everything is golden.
The problem I'm having is more with the layout of the helpdesk itself. Specifically the tickets section. When you have more than the default number of categories in the header you have to scroll the frame to see them all. Is there any way of changing the layout of the page in the site files to extend the ticket window?

HP Color Laserjet M281 color graphics print with halo around everything
I have an HP Color LaserJet M281 MFP M281cdw (purchased from Costco). I am using aftermarket toner, but the problem occurs with any toner. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software, but I can't help but think it is a software issue. Black and white prints of the same pic are clean.
No matter what I print in color, if there is text or something like a logo, it has a yellow halo around it.
I will upload a scan. Thank you!!

Rdp session originating from the router
Hi, I have a remote desktop gateway deployed at a customer's site. I can check the logs and see the external IPs of the past sessions. My customer called me and informed me someone had logged onto his PC, we disabled RDP on his PC and checked the logs. The origin of the connection turns out to be coming from the router's IP not an external IP address.
Has anyone seen this before and what should I be looking for in the network?
Thanks,
