This was an amazing and informative answer. Thank you.

The rootkit is easy enough to turn off in the BIOS but I highly, highly recommend G-Helper instead of Armoury Crate.

Moving to it from AC is like leaving a prison cell full of screaming children and entering a calm beach.

Oh yeah. They all do/will. But they are still better firewalls than ASAs.

ASAs are still way more prevalent than they should be when Palo Alto and others are much better options. Still, I’m glad I barely have to deal with them any more.

Adding my vote for Zabbix. It was a bit of a bear to set up and I had to write custom scripts to install the agents with TLS settings that were secure enough for me, but once it’s all set up it’s amazingly easy and intuitive to use and incredibly customizable.

Agree. This was exactly my experience too.

It’s a shit company for pulling this, for sure. But I kinda like the building.

Does this help?

You should still be able to sync them and let soft matching connect the onprem and cloud accounts. Then the info in that post can be used to clean up the duplicate cloud mailbox and its properties in preparation for a Migration.

This is one of the only remaining use cases (in my opinion) for Public Folders.

I hate public folders.
