    Tbh. Its highly unlikely that you will face anything that disrupts business and can prove it being from this machine.

    Even if you get hit by a trojan that encrypts everything: if you have AV on clients and servers and update their databases regularely, noone could or would blame a dude thats 3 months in the job for it. I mean you have no prior experience. Thats also why i would not try to escelate it further. You will get fucked by management if you fall in the back of a higher ranking position. They dont appreciate people calling stuff like this out. Especially in small family owned businesses. Trust me. I’ve been there.

    You will most likely find even more hazards in the future. If it gets worse, make a list. If you can, put in the CVE Codes and their explanation about the issue and the potential risks.

    Put it in a monthly report-email regarding IT Topics. Also put different stuff in there, so you dont only appear to be whining about the system that they obviously have been taking care of in a lackluster way. This way you show that you are doing your job for the case that there might actually be a hazard and if they ask, you can simply point to your monthly report and say you did your best and did not get enough ressources/coworkers/ or the so very much needed new Firewall Appliance.

    In terms of futur vision: write up your daily systems you work with. I’ll make some examples for your Resume:

    • Config- and Patchmanagement of
    • ~ 30 Windows 10 clients via WSUS and SCCM
    • ~ 10 Windows Server 2019 Systems via WSUS
    • ~ A Veeam/Synology/In-House Built Backup Solition
    • Ubiquiti Firewall and AP Solitions
    • Management of Microsoft SQL/Oracle/MariaDB Database Replications
    • Management of an small scaled AD Environment with ~ 80 self created Objects
    • GPO Policy Management
    • Management of a Microsoft Exchange Sever Cluster

    And so on.

    Also make a second list with projects, what your role in them was (most likely project lead), and what situation you had and the target. Also in which timeframe you are working on it (March/2024 - Today)

    Don’t tell anybody that you are keeping your eyes out for a new job. Wait till you have landed a new job with administration work (dont do First-Layer Support Jobs. They get you stuck on your career ladder)

    Also have a look at job portals like Kununu and check Ratings of companies. Since you are already in a kind of dispute with your boss I would suggest to not leave a review of your current workplace, whilst you still work there. Attention would be immediately brought to your end.

    Also: if you are bad at creating a resume. Use an online builder. Job portals offer them. Be advised though, recruiters will already call the number that you type in there even before you are done typing your resume. rxResume is and FOSS Resume Builder. Can be selfhost or simply used by the Publicly hosted variant.







  • I ran best with: Tell coworkers you trust and you like working with. Most likely they will agree thst xyz is bad and ya’ll could be in a better situation. Some times you can even get the people you like to also get a better job or even get them into the company that you changed to - only when you already have been there for a few months or so, to know if its a good company or not.




  • The secured Sandbox maybe? The windows sandbox is pretty awesome for day to day use imo. And no a template VM or container isnt really the same thing. The sandbox has the task of making sure that there is nothing that can break out. Afaik the sanbox has done a pretty good job so far in that aspect. Does linux bring a comparable option to the table? Would love to find out, changig as many aspects of my life to linux is the best thing to do.





  • SysAdmin. The OCR Feature is a blessing to get masses of text from sended in screenshots, or Webinterfaces of devices that try to fight the user when they try to copy some text from it ^^

    The Always on Top Feature… fuck where do I start.

    When shit gets stressful and you are just trying to fix a thing asap but your view is bloated with the applications from your previous task, it can be unbelievable practical to use the always on top feature.

    Mostly use it on windows that i want to have as a small but always on top space where i can interact with application xyz or even a small fresh notepad to type down what the customer is blubbering into my phone while I try to get as many information possible and troubleshoot the problems at the same time.

    Sorry for the absolute shitty written text. I’m in a hurry.

    Powerrename with optional Regex (Regex only with support of chatGPT. Noone can tell me they actually understand regex ^^) Though PowerRename i use more often as a Pirate.

    Paste Text only - OMFG this feature… without it i would quit my job and search for anotherone where i can deploy it on my maschine. It stripes out every non-text from the text you have copied. So formatting and all that bullshit is gone. Its’s bliss. As a regular office worker this should also be a gamechanger. Noone ever wants to copy the formatting from one document to another. You mostly just want the plain damn text.

    Maybe the cut and resize feature will be also soon on my favourites list but i havent tested it that much so far.

    Oh and another app i love:

    ShareX.

    It has never been easier to show someone what they have to click or where error xyz occurs. Just create a border that you want to record in .mp4 format, do your stuff there, klick stop and send a very nice and small videofile to your opponent. Absolutely everyone that got a video from me was thankful for not having to read 4 paragraphes of text but instead was able to just watch a 30secs video and understand everything. I sometimes even use it in documentation for other sysadmins. Very helpful if the task is complex and would take up lots of text to explain. Create a short clip and everyone understands you.
