@techspence I would say that implementing a proper delegated least privileged model can also be hard, especially in environments that have had over permissive rights. In an ideal scenario no accounts should be in DA/EA other than the Built-In Administrator.

@JeffBohren @techspence I mean MS themselves still have a huge internal AD production environment. Their main production forest has an empty root with 8 child domains off it for each worldwide region.

@techspence AD is still very much in use within my org although its reliance is likely to reduce significantly over the next 3 years as we transition to Cloud/SaaS systems. All endpoints are already Entra joined and Intune managed.

@theweb3jess @signalapp @depressivehacks This is a parenting and education issue not a technology problem to solve.

@UK_Daniel_Card @PyroTek3 @NCSC The NCSC tools are great, especially if you register as a UK org. My org has been using Early Warning and PDNS. We used Mailcheck and Webcheck services previously as well.

@dosdude1 @msdong71 Lenovo, HP etc all generally do. We manage lots of these where I work and don’t have issues.

@dimeji_csv @ukhomeoffice Our maybe parents should actually just start parenting and teaching their kids rather than putting the blame on technology companies all the time. Going down the route of censoring the internet is putting us in the same boat as countries such as Russia or China. Not good.

@techspence There were some cool things about this. Unfortunately it was complex to set up and manage plus it required MIM to be fully utilised.

@MyNameIsMurray Oh great. Over 2,600 of our staff are front line workers who aren’t the most technical and will call up the helpdesk at the slightest change. This is going to be madness.

@UK_Daniel_Card We used to do TPM + PIN on laptops when they were joined to on-premises AD but since moving to Enrta/Intune for all devices we switched to TPM only as it would have been a pain to manage on 500+ devices

@zacbowden Even to this day Aero still looks clean and modern. Everything that’s came after just looks crap.

@MyNameIsMurray @NathanMcNulty Not to mention that a few lines in PS is now much more convoluted with Graph. I much preferred the older modules to quickly get things done.

@vkrajacic @thomasklemenc Or you could just replace Task Manager with Sysinternals Process Explorer which gives far more details.

I’m guessing I picked the wrong time to buy NVMe drives for an upcoming Proxmox build lab. 🙈 Does anyone know the best cost effective drives to get at the moment?

@zacbowden @bs_blackscout I think that’s understandable. Been using Windows for 26+ years including administering it in corporate IT and I don’t remember quality being this bad for as long (Apart from Longhorn)

@rinocore I would say the Win7 is the last time MS had a consistent UI throughout the OS. (Although most of the work was already done in Vista) Everything since has been an utter mash up of all versions together which started with Windows 8.0.

@ricsip82 @BitsUndBolts I don’t recall any slowdowns being introduced in SP3 while running on the same hardware.

@techspence @PyroTek3 Endpoint Isolation via Windows Firewall is a good way to secure management protocols. Restrict them to PAWs or admin jump servers with IPSec and authentication. Also applies to RDP even with MFA.
