Creating RemoteApp RDP Sessions

2-factor SSH Login

2-factor SSH Login

Purpose This will let us use our phone as a second-factor for logging in to an SSH session. This helps harden our SSH security, and encourages users to use 2FA in general. Because it asks for a password that changes every 60 seconds along with your known password, it makes the server MUCH harder to brute-force, especially if it is an Internet-facing server. Posted on Github as well - comments welcome!

My Cisco Meraki Equipment arrived

Deploying Windows Monthly Updates (without WSUS)

In connection with another article about Deploying Windows Updates via the Command Line, I have come to notice that it is not the end-all we thought it once was. With the Roll-Up Updates for Windows 7, 8.1, and 10, I have found a better way to deploy updates.
