You are a life saver. Isnt this a system admin role? Your earlier vids seemed to be geared more to Networking. I guess learning both worlds makes you more marketable!

[@TheDexterFishbourne]

If she is like me, I am a one person department so have to do everything LOL.

[@EastCharmer]

@elamaroon8316 i hope it's helpful! yeah just like what Dexter said 😆 I'm all around IT 😆

[@EastCharmer]

@TheDexterFishbourne I'm not one person but they had us do everything 😆😆

[@frankhawl3997]

You are truly the Video Professor for the new millennium. Only your videos are far more educational, and entertaining. Thank you

[@TheDexterFishbourne]

@@EastCharmer it is a good thing to be exposed to other things in the IT field, never know what you need to work on and what may peak your interest for future jobs.

[@matthewd84]

This isn't as hard as I thought it would be! You can learn so much with labbing! I'll be able to add Windows Server as a skill to my resume!

[@EastCharmer]

Oh yeah it's doable with labs! It just gets complicated sometimes in real world because of company policies and user needs but if you have a solid foundation, you will be able to set this up well.

[@Angel-vk3bk]

Been loving this series. Really helpful, Can't thank you enough for this!

[@EastCharmer]

Yay! I'm really glad it's helpful! More videos to come!

[@riinmcmxciv]

Remember learning this in school! So glad its on your channel! Awesome please keep it up 😊

[@EastCharmer]

Yay!! Yes I've been adding more homelab projects in the channel. Thank you so much!!

[@olioliver9396]

Thank you very much for another interesting and informative video. I like to use either a C_ for computer policies or a U_ for user policies or C_U_ for computer/user policies for naming the policy at the beginning. You can also write a comment for a policy, which helps another administrator to understand the policy. The loopback policy is another important policy in the interaction between computer and user policies. Thanks again for the video

[@EastCharmer]

Ah that's good to know! Naming convention are also really important. Yes I'll cover all the best practices in another video.

[@matthewd84]

You're a great teacher. Very precise, great explanations and to the point.

[@EastCharmer]

Wow! Thanks for the nice feedback!!! Appreciate it!

[@MrEgypticon]

Thank you for a wonderful explanation and organized ideas that help understanding. I hope you continue.

[@EastCharmer]

You're welcome! Thank you for the very nice feedback! I'll make more videos in this series!

[@user-hm1bh2iu4k]

Thank you su much, currentlly doing interviews prep and this will help in case they ask me about it.

[@EastCharmer]

You're very welcome! Ooohh goodluck and I hope you answer all of their questions

[@eman0828]

This is generally a role of a Sysadmin or Endpoint Engineer that works on the Desktop Engineering team that handles software packaging, SCCM, Operating system delivery, and managing GPOs for endpoints. The team i work with that manages all the RHEL stuff is reffered to as Client Engineering. I deal with the UNIX side of things with Mac and Red Hat.

[@EastCharmer]

Yes you are on point! We don't have a dedicated team at work so sometimes I also do this task. oh wow I'd also like to learn RHEL someday. Thank you for sharing!

[@Abdul-dy7om]

East Charmer, Keep up the great work. I love the series.

[@EastCharmer]

Thank you! Hopefully I can upload more videos soon!

[@bigbrainsITsolutions]

Beautiful Thanks so much for this.

[@EastCharmer]

My pleasure!

[@TheDexterFishbourne]

Great timing, I have to work with some GPO's next week.

[@EastCharmer]

@@TheDexterFishbourne oohhh nice! I also have part 2 coming soon for implementing and testing GPOs and best practices

[@TheDexterFishbourne]

@@EastCharmer I will be watching out for it. Appreciate it.

[@nanapoku5259]

​@@EastCharmer Quite an informative video on GPO's there! I need go over this again as determining which type of configuration (User and Computer) can be lil confusing especially watching some of the activities. Some of them sounded more of computer configuration and vice versa to me lol. But as I said, I need to go over again. Thank you as always for your easy to understand videos. You are changing lives! Quick question: Is AD now Entra ID? Also, will you be doing some videos on Azure AD since things seem to be going in the cloud direction?

[@GetEasyS]

For account lockout policy :computer configuration > policies >windows settings>security settings>account policy> account lockout policy>> set threshold time like 3, duration like 60 mins,lockout counter like 60mins. Is that correct?

[@AlderT00]

I had something similar in mind though I would have gone with 5 (or 10) for the threshold and 0 mins for duration, that way only an admin can unlock it.

[@GetEasyS]

@@AlderT00 i think threshold defines the number of failed sign-in attempts so its recommended to keep it as lower as possible to prevent brute force attack. So that they can have less change to crack credentials😜☺

[@EastCharmer]

yes correct that's how you do it!

[@EastCharmer]

yeah we typically set it to 3 too. to also give them a chance if they have a typo but as low as possible for brute force

[@EastCharmer]

it also depends on your company policy too but 3-5 threshold would be generally what's used
