Microsoft is altering the way IT administrators and system administrators can now import WSUS updates. The process is moving over from the Update Catalog to PowerShell script delivery method.
Microsoft has shared updated requirements for SMTP relay via its Exchange Online platform. The new updated requirement is not applicable yet and is set to roll out towards the end of the year.
Microsoft has issued a reminder about the availability of Windows LAPS on Microsoft Intune and on Azure AD, public preview on the latter. You can follow the recent guide the company published.
Microsoft says it has debuted a "much-requested" feature for IT admins and system admins in the form of email alerts. These alerts will basically notify admins about Windows bugs and issues.
Microsoft has delivered on its promise of releasing a solution, both automated and manual, for the Y2K22 Exchange Server bug that was causing mail and messages to get stuck in transport queues.
In order to resume processing of mail, sysadmins are disabling malware scanning on their exchange servers, leaving their users, and possibly the servers themselves, vulnerable to attack.
Yes, the three words every system administrator loves to hear each year, for today is System Administrator Appreciation Day. Show your appreciation with some cake or heaps of praise.
