August Patch Tuesday review, Mozilla problems, Server 2012 Update issues/fixes, IE11 EoL, Teams bugs, Portable Exchange Servers, and a bevy of other topics!
Extended show notes available at https://hthpc.com
Boot up
○ Post-mortem on why HTH0024 was a bit shorter than other episodes (YouTube Music)
○ Dark clouds at Mozilla
○ Threat management team laid off
○ Mozilla to refocus on its own commercial products
○ Google contract extended
○ CORRECTION: Thunderbird isn't exactly a community-only project. Some things have also changed, Thunderbird was transferred to MZLA Technologies Corporation from the Mozilla Foundation.
○ CORRECTION/MINI THAT IS ACCURATE: Gmail Launched 4/1/2004.
○ August Patch Tuesday plop
○ Circle the wagons: CVE-2020-1472 | Netlogon Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability…especially bad if you have 2008 R2 as a DC. Extended support needed for the patch, otherwise you need to mitigate.
○ "It’s rare to see a Critical-rated elevation of privilege bug, but this one deserves it," said ZDI’S Dustin Childs. "What’s worse is that there is not a full fix available."
○ Win10 2004 no longer searches online for Drivers by default
○ Server 2012 update checking/service being bonkers lately
○ Bye-E11 - M365 no longer supports IE 8/17/21 HOPE YOU'RE READY!
○ Will MS have ported over IE-exclusive SharePoint features (WebDAV "Open in File Explorer" links?)
○ Teams in the browser / Teams rant
○ Inconsistent/buggy notifications in Firefox
○ Photos not showing - UserVoice
○ Tiff returns to the land of Macs.
○ macOS Catalina didn't learn from Vista
Exchange errors: Real or Fake?
○ Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.UnsupportedBrowser
○ Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.OverBudgetException
○ Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Directory.SystemConfiguration.OutOfMoneyException
○ Exchange 2019 System Requirements
Declassified Sysadmin Stories: Pocket Exchange
○ That time Steve built a portable Exchange 2010 server
○ Purpose: Teach people Outlook in a pre-cloud era at onsite trainings
○ Dell Latitude D630 running 2008 R2…4GB(?) RAM Core 2 Duo
○ (A later version was a newer Precision M4700 laptop and/or Thinkpad X201 running 2012 R2)
○ Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V VM running Exchange 2010
○ Exchange built according to a guide
○ Pre populate AD, users/mailboxes, and make fake sample content (e-mail, calendar events, etc) built to a Microsoft guideline
○ Server connected to a router, classroom laptops connect wirelessly (no internet access), static DNS manually set on laptops to point to router
○ Outlook configured on each laptop for a specific user
○ OOO wouldn’t work without massaging DNS/autodiscover, which needed manual fixing after restoring the snapshot every time (delete and re-add the autodiscover A record in DNS then bounce the DNS services)
○ A brief discussion on SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
That Is Accurate
○ The Netscape ISP home page is still up.
○ Various internet nostalgia
Ask the Stiffs: Question of the Week
○ What was the worst password you ever created
○ What was your first password? ;)
○ Various computer nostalgia
Outro - "Plus Delta"
