I passed my exam last week and am waiting for the official verification. I just noticed on LinkedIn that a person posted a photo of their CISSP certificate that had a date of March 1, 2026 - February 28, 2029.

I'm assuming that this person took the test 6 weeks ago.

My dumb question: Is this normal? I'm planning on taking my CompTIA A+ exams next week (I already have my Net+ and Sec+) and I might squeeze in another cert while I wait. It would be nice if my CISSP had an official date of March so that my other cert renewals lined up with that.

Hi folks,

I’m involved in a project to install EV charging stations at a local government facility that will offer free charging to employees and visitors. I’m trying to learn from others who’ve managed or used similar setups — especially when it comes to daily usage patterns, limitations, and management practices.

Here are some of the considerations we're working through:

• Dual charging: We’d like each station to support two vehicles at once, ideally with shared power.
• Free charging model: We won’t be charging users, but we do want to prevent abuse or long-term squatting.
• Time limits: We’re thinking of enforcing a 4-hour limit per session — has anyone had success with this in practi

Hi everyone. Starting yesterday (or at least detected), any device on our network with IPv6 enabled started receiving an IPv6 address. This also added Comcast DNS servers. Things began to break. Badly.

I've verified that it is the Comcast Business modem because I was able to access its web GUI from my workstation using its IPv6 local address. I can log in with the same credentials and see a bunch of devices connected with IPv6 addresses.

• Based on the above, I've identified the modem handing out IPv6 DHCP.
• There are no other patch cords plugged into the Comcast modem. So it isn't patched into my network by some other means any bypassing the Sonicwall.
• Yesterday, I turned off IPv6

Tomorrow, I take delivery of a 2022 Premium AWD Extended Range. I signed the papers on Friday to help the dealer meet their monthly numbers and I'm happy with the price I got. But this also means that I have to wait until after work tomorrow until I can take delivery (I worked on financing and selling my car to Carvana over the weekend).

My question for the sub is: What advice do you have for the first day? What would you test out? What would you change in the settings?

I'm coming from a 2018 WRX, 6 speed. My commute is 20 miles each way. I'm in a Michigan winter.

I'm the sysadmin, netadmin, security officer, Sr desktop guy, compliance guy, policy guy, etc. I'm sure this is the same for most of us on this subreddit. So I'm used to having to deal with shit hitting the fan on my own. I'm not complaining. I know what I signed up for and part of me thrives on it.

But I will say, this Crowdstrike "incident" was the first thing I've had to deal with in real time that felt like I was part of a community. While I was deleting those silly sys files and rebooting and connecting monitors to servers with undocumented iDRAC IPs, I knew that I wasn't alone.

Because of that shared experience, I feel like we all deserve a ribbon or challenge coin or something.

Hello! My employer is supporting me in my pursuit of the CISSP cert. and has $4500 available in this year's training budget that I can use.

I already have the official study guide (print, Kindle and audiobook). I'm planning on reading through all of the material prior to doing additional training, so I wouldn't necessarily mind a boot camp type thing, but I'm pretty open to anything and my employer would support me if I needed to dedicate time to a live virtual course.

Yes, I want to pass, but my primary goal is to learn the material

Background: About eight years sys admin, three as net admin, Net+, Sec+

Hello. I am a cybersecurity professional and fully admit that I know very little about SCADA technology. However, I recently became aware of a security vulnerability with a major SCADA provider that they are fully aware of and can be very easily fixed. However, when I brought it to their attention, I was told over the phone "We can do it, but we'd get too many calls to our support line. We'd be answering calls for months about this." After calling the COO in for an in-person meeting, he told the room, "If we implemented that safeguard, we'd lose customers, so we're not doing it."

I don't want to give any more specifics, because this impacts all of their customers.

Hello sysadmins!

I feel stupid posting here, but Support has not been of any help on this matter. We were running a server with Network Performance Monitor, Orion IP Address Manager, and User Device Tracker, but this past month, we only renewed licensing for the NPM.

My goal is to uninstall IPAM and UDT. The documentation states to first deactivate the licenses (easy) then the next step is a vague "uninstall IPAM from Programs and Features". However, I don't see IPAM or UDT listed at all.

I've installed updates, but the original install was done before my time. Does anyone have any recommendations?

My G4 Doorbell died in the middle of the night. Won't power up, yet is warm to the touch. This seems to have happened to a lot of folks after about a year of ownership, so maybe I should consider myself lucky.

No big deal I figured.. I'll just grab one of those Pro models. Not so easy. To make matters a tad more complicated, my wife is pushing for me to replace it with a Ring because we've pretty much migrated from Google Assistant to Amazon Echos.

We use our doorbell camera A LOT and the prospect of waiting a month for a G4 Pro to be in stock for 20 minutes isn't very tempting.

What do you guys recommend? Anyone else in my situation?
