External facing WSUS

$
0
0

I've been researching into ways to patch our laptops that do not use vpn anymore.  I am planning to setup a downstream replica server for this but we do not have a true dmz with RODC.  I will NAT the server IP and have 2 separate network connections. However, if I only allow ports 8530 and 8531 for both network connections, I'll lose domain services (AD, DNS, etc), correct?  If I allow those ports, I'll have to sacrifice security, right? 

Are there any other secure way to overcome this without managing 2 separate wsus servers or setting up a true DMZ? 

Thanks

Where did my storage go?

Greetings to the well of knowledge..

I'm at a loss.

I have four identically configured terminal server VMs, all members of the same TS farm.  All the servers are running Server 2012R2.

Three of the servers' C: drives have about 80-90 GB free space out of 255GB.  The other server has 8 GB of free space out of 255GB.  I have scoured every folder and subfolder  I have looked for crash dumps.  I have checked the size of the pagefile.  I have looked at each user folder.  On the surface, it is identical to the other three but for the fact that one of them is using 80 GB more than the other three.

Where else should I be looking?

Thanks,

Ken

PC settings comes up, as soon as you click on an option it takes 5 mins to show

I have a few Latitude 7300s freshly imaged from a Macrium Reflect Image from before.  The laptop is more or less speedy, but as soon as you click on PC Settings, all the menu items appear but when  you click on an option such us Windows update or Apps or Default Programs/Apps or anything, it will take a good 5 minutes for anything to appear.

Windows Enterprise version 1809 and the systems are brand new i5 8th generation.

Has anyone had any issues with this?  I'd rather not install a fresh 1809 installation from scratch...

Cisco uc560 moving to 3CX, need to allow incoming rtp traffic due to audio loss

Router: cisco UC560

Currently actively running its phone setup.

This equipment will be replaced within the month but I need to allow external RTP traffic to access a single network internally.

I don't deal with Cisco's much at this level so I am stuck.

I have a static IP for the 3CX server and the internal network we can use is 192.168.1.1(not the real network).


Windows Failover Cluster Different Installation Types

$

So my google skills are failing me and any search I try isn't giving me the exact details.

I understand that I can't failover cluster say windows 2012 R2 with Windows 2016 as they're different.

I want to know if it's possible to create a cluster between a Windows 2016 Datacenter and Windows Hyper-v 2016 server. The validation is throwing an error since it's a different installation type but one is just a stripped-down version of the other essentially. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone who knows more than me could elaborate on this.

License Consulting

 My org is currently with a CSP that has given us reasons to believe they really don't know what they're doing from a licensing perspective. I'm looking for suggestions on a third party consulting firm that can come in, review our Microsoft Licensing, and make suggestions for changes that will either reduce costs or improve functionality. I assume there are firms like this that will take a cut of the savings after a review? Thanks for your input. 

Open Office Online apps automatically?

I have a user that claims they use to be able to double click a Word document, and it would open Word on the Web automatically. Is this possible? They have all of their files in OneDrive that is sync'd locally. I'm not seeing how this is possible. Right now it's defaulted to open in WordPad as she does not have Office Desktop Apps.

Hi, I'm trying to make the output of this command look a little more presentable:

Get-WinEvent -FilterHashTable @{LogName="Microsoft-Windows-TerminalServices-Gateway/Operational";StartTime=(Get-Date -Hour 0 -Minute 0 -Second 0);Id=302,303} | Select-Object TimeCreated,Id,Message

The output for ID's 302 and 303 looks like this:

The user "DOMAIN\user", on client computer "123.123.123.123", connected to resource "RDSERVER". Connection protocol used: "HTTP".

The user "DOMAIN\user", on client computer "123.123.123.123", disconnected from the following network resource: "RDSERVER". Before the user disconnected, the client transferred 10221801 bytes and received 36750729 bytes. The client session duration was 2105 seconds. Connection protocol used: "HTTP".

Ideally, I could have 3 columns just showing the date, user name, and status: connected or...

single host need to route via a different firewall.

Router between host and firewall.

basically need all vlans to continue to egress normal firewall..but one single host need to egress a different firewall for testing.

in core vlan switch / router (Older Cisco L3 Catalyst)

need to be able to add a route statement for one single host and not affect the others.

currently all vlans egress via
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.x.1 (existing firewall) -
only devices on x.1 are 2x firewalls and core switch. no others on on that vlan / subnet.

Image is very basic layout and issue i'm faced with.

force .40 on VLAN10 to egress out 1.5 Firewall....

These are not my actual ip layouts just an example that is very similar

Question for you multicasting experts

$

Good day. I have a network set up specifically for multicasting. I have a Ubiquiti UniFi USG Pro as the firewall/gateway with an IP of 192.168.5.1 Connected to it is a Cisco SG300 fiber switch with an IP of 192.168.5.4. Connected to the fiber switch are two Cisco SG300 switches, one for room A, and one for room B (IPs irrelevant).

I have multiple IP video sources in each room, each with their own unique multicast address. For testing and the purpose of this discussion, I have computers with VLC streaming to multicast addresses, 238.255.1.1, 238.255.1.2, etc. all using port 5004.

In UniFi settings for the LAN, I enabled IGMP monitoring. I followed instructions to SSHtelnet into the USG and ensure multicast querier is up and running properly.

In the Cisco SG300s, I set each up to do IGMP snooping. Just to be thorough, on the fiber switch I...

I have opened a ticket, and called with updates every couple business days... but I cannot get them to look at it...

I am just wondering if anyone else has seen a quick fix, or if I am just out of luck getting them to receive any more...
