Hello! I am looking for suggestions for Slack alternatives that meet the following (likely impossible) criteria:...

I am working part time for a small company, they have about 40 employees that use the email everyday for work and recently they have acquired a MS account for 10 employees that use it mainly for teams with customers but also sharepoint, etc....

Hi all, I want to setup a fileserver as a KVM which will access a 2TB disk partition to store its data. In order to do this I saw 5 options:...

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but recommendations for personal and family password management?...

Hey all....

I’ve started at a medium-sized org (~1500 users) that has over a dozen global admins in 365, plus another 80 users with various 365 admin access. Does anyone have any tips for how to identify what access the users actually need?...

Hey all,...

As a sysadmin mostly used to the nice and powerful way Postgres manages dates, every time i’ve had to do stuff on SQLite i find myself missing that. Feels like they offloaded that into whatever code connects to the database instead of handling it at DB level....

I have 15 VM’s running for clients and I’m looking for a way to keep the tools up to date without having to connect to each server and do it manually. A few examples are WinDirStat, Firefox, SSMS, Filelocator, etc....

So, I have a VM DC that I had to restore from a month ago. I had other DCs that were physical and up. My understanding that if sub 60 days “off” it is fine to basically “power back on” the snapshot. However, now the “restored” DC has disabled replication in both directions. Should I manually enable inbound...

Hi! I've inherited a machine installed by somebody else who's no longer in the company or the country. The machine is running just fine, but i see no Dockerfiles or docker-compose.yml, and this looks like something that came from a Compose file with a few linked containers....

I’ve been working on a project that I need constant access (and executing commands) among at least 3 hosts in work. I’ve been using SSH’s Host function to manage which host I’m connecting to. However, I find it increasingly annoying that I can’t see which host I’m connected to via the tab on my terminal emulator...

Hello c/sysadmin, and welcome to the Patch Megathread! I’m editing this post and leaving it up as a single catch-all sticky post for patch days for the time being, since we’re not seeing enough activity to warrant new threads IMO. If someone wants to help moderate / curate content and actively create new patch day posts,...

Hey all, in my company we’ve been having a lot of trouble with our first-line support team and I wanted to get some ideas how it works in other companies....

What are you favourite/useful rsync tricks these days?...

It started off with an employee sending an email to a distribution list called “Bedlam DL3” asking to be taken off the list. With 13,000 recipients and everyone replying all with, “Me too!” and other messages, it was estimated that over 15 million messages were sent through the system in an hour. This crashed the MTA...

Hey like the title says I'm looking for a way to keep up with outages and vulnerabilities. I mostly used r/sysadmin to alert me to things, but given everything I don't want to go to reddit if I don't have to....

Hi guys, I recently started working at a company with about 50 people that has grown to large for their current IT setup. They have no documentation or any SOPs. Has anyone been in a similar situation and how did you go about creating documentation, especially when you are new and don't fully understand all of the services they...

Hi, all!...

I started abnew job as a systems engineer not too long ago and am looking for a way to get comfortable with FOS as I've never had to manage FC switches before. Anyone know of a way to emulate it, or should I just resign myself to buying an old switch on ebay and throwing it in the rack?

Let's get this community popping with some useful information. Reddit's sysadmin subreddit seemed like a place of complainers, I look forward to having actual productive conversation in this community.
