User-ID mapping policy issue

Hi everyone,

I recently set up GP user-id mapping in our network. It's showing domain.local\username in the logs. I was also told to set up User-ID mapping using the windows agent as well since our users would need to disconnect from GP occasionally. The logs that we get from the windows agent is domain\username.

Issue now is that when we set a policy, if the firewall sees that it came from domain\username it gets denied, I think it's because our group mapping uses domain.local. I checked the Group Mapping settings and saw that we have domain.local in the user domain setting.

Will removing .local fix this? Will it cause downtime when this is applied? I assume once this is done, we'll only see domain\username in our logs and the policy will always stick?

Latest vendor addons

We're in the process of moving from Baseline to images for our ESXI hosts. I'm planning to update to 8.0 U3K and I noticed that the latest Dell vendor addon is only at 803-A03. I checked the Broadcom support website and it has the 803-A10 addon.

Do people manually import the latest Dell Addon to Lifecycle manager or do we need to change/add a download source? Anyone have issues with 8.0 U3K with the 803-A10 addon?

Europa Motta tips?

Hi everyone, I recently got a Breville Express and the jug it comes with is too much for me. I only make Cappucinos with my Acme cup(190ml) so there's a lot of wasted milk.

I recently bought a Motta Europa thanks to the good reviews, but I can barely make any microfoam with it compared to the default jug. Does anyone have any good tips for these? The wand on the Breville express seems too short at times too

Cowork spending alerts not working?

Hi everyone, we set up an alert to notify us when our test group's monthly spending reaches 60% of its limit (the group has around 10 users).

I checked today and we've already reached 74% of our monthly limit, but we haven't received any email notification.

Did we configure the alert incorrectly? Also, is the 100,000 credits/month spending limit applied per user rather than shared across the entire test group? Don't want to wake up and see that we've gone over our limit during the testing period.

Internal Gateway for Testing

Hi everyone, we are looking into implementing an Internal Gateway for both Internal Host Detection and for User-ID mapping when users are in the office. I've created a loopback IP which is used by the Internal Gateway.

We want to test it out first as to not disturb users during work hours in case it breaks our internet, I created a test OU group in our AD. Do I need to add the OU group into the Agent tab of the Internal Gateway? Or do i create a new Agent in the Portal section with that OU group?(Don't want to use our actual agent as it might break things)

Do I also just need to create an A DNS entry for my internal host detection using the loopback IP?

Internal Gateway vs Agent-ID

Hi everyone, we currently have an issue where we cannot see the source users for people who are in the office while people who are on VPN are fine. We want to set up policies that allow certain source users access. We currently have WMI as the transport protocol, which is probably causing the issue.

Is it better to set up an Internal Gateway or install an Agent on one of our servers to gather the source user for people who are in the office? All of our laptops have GlobalProtect installed.

Which would be easier to setup? I heard the Kerberos method is a headache so we probably won't bother with that.

Up to date guides with hands-on for AZ-104

Hi everyone, I currently work with a bit of Azure as part of my day to day. Typical AVD, resizing vms, workbooks, Entra, and helped in our new ExpressRoute circuit.

I'm looking for a AZ-104 tutorial that asks me to build stuff as I'm still lacking in a lot of areas(Blob storage, Azure shell, Backups, Storage, and Networking).

I have the cloudlee AZ104 as it was popular last year but never got around to studying it completely. Is that still good? It hasn't been updated in a while, and I saw a couple of comments saying it's outdated. The last time I did a lab on it, the Azure UI was already different from his videos.

My plan currently is just continue what I do at work, Microsoft Learn and John Savill at home. Not sure if I should still continue with the cloudlee tutorial or look for a new one

How to check Cowork credits across the organization

Hi all, as Cowork is going to be using credits on July 01, is there a way to see how much credits are being used across our organization? So far the only way i can see how much credits are being used is if we type in /cost in the prompts.

We want to check how much credits are being used by our users to get a rough idea how much our monthly bill will be to determine if we'll keep this on. Do i need to set up usage-based billing first?

Azure Monitor vs On-prem Grafana

Hi everyone, we have around 20-30 Vms on azure with our main use for it being AVD, Azure Update manager(both for azure vms and on-prem), Recovery services, File servers, and Express Route.

At the moment we have to go into each service and click on Insight to take a look at the metrics. I understand that we can make our own workbooks for troubleshooting(Big help for our AVD and Expressroute metrics). Would you recommend us going all in on Azure monitor? Or should i feed the data to an On-prem Grafana instance(which is already setup).

How much will Azure monitor cost us/sending data to Grafana? A bit scared to see our bill spike up due to logs.
