I would like to address something huge that is happening in the world and deserves your attention. It is not COVID! – but it’s something very alike in the computer world. There is a computer problem happening, which could affect us in one way or another. I noticed that many of my friends and clients […]
If your organization has a strong backup strategy in place, you may think you don’t need to bother with email retention. That is a common misconception, because on the surface, backing up emails and archiving emails seem like they serve the same purpose. In reality, the two are used for completely different functions, and you need to do both.
Email backups are primarily used for disaster recovery. The backup is essentially a snapshot of the data at a given time. When a new backup is deployed, the old backup is replaced, and the new version becomes the data that will be used for recovery. If emails are mistakenly deleted or corrupted just before a new backup is done, those emails are gone for good.

Microsoft is moving faster than most of the antivirus. They are publishing information about tracking a potential exploit in your system. Perhaps Microsoft’s publication is oriented for the Ukraine region. It won’t hurt if you look at that publication and check for their recommendation. Who knows if those files are already waiting for their activation at some point.
VPN The L2TP connection attempt failed because the security layer encountered a processing error during initial negotiations with the remote computer.
After playing with bitlocker and enabling and disabling some features I noticed that after inserting a USB the USB appeared as OFFLINE and with a legend that says: “disk offline because of a policy set by an admin”. I actually even placed a ticket with Microsoft and spent a lot of time trying to figure […]
