    TLDR: This error is expected and the change is legitimate. To update, switch to Install-Module, then slap on the -SkipPublisherCheck and -Force parameters and continue your update.

    For those looking to ensure that their vSphere environments are DISA-compliant, VMware has created a pretty nice repo of tools which help address the nearly 500(!) compliance checks.

    The solution is a mixed bag of ansible and PowerShell for remediation and Chef inspec for evaluation. I never worked with inspec so I …

    NOTE: If you're not yet using Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, please follow this article instead.

    The recent OS X High Sierra iamroot vulnerability reminded me just how many people don't secure their remote desktop connections. While Windows Remote Desktop is more secure than VNC, neither RDP, ADP nor VNC should be …
