Allow External Senders to Email Google Group

I encountered this one recently. Google doesn’t make it simple (or clear) how to allow external people to send emails to a Google Group (which most people use as the equivalent of a distribution list / Office365 group).

In Google Admin, navigate to the Google Group and check off “Allow” (a checkmark) where Publish Posts and External intersect (seen below with the number 1 in red)

That’s it! External users will now be able to email the group.

Audit Error – Office365

Recently, I was trying to perform an audit search on an Office365 organization and found auditing wasn’t enabled. When I tried to do it straight from the audit screen, I encountered this error:

Sorry! We couldn’t update your organization settings. Please try again.

I went straight to PowerShell and ran Get-AdminAuditLogConfig | FL Unified* and it was not enabled.

To resolve this, I ran Enable-OrganizationCustomization 

And then I ran the Powershell command Set-AdminAuditLogConfig – UnifiedAuditLogIngestionEnabled $true

And that did it!

ESXI Error: Could not find a trusted signer: certificate is not yet valid

It’s been a while and there is plenty of reasons for that, but namely… I got a new job!

Anywho, here is a good one I encountered when trying to update an ESXI host.

Could not find a trusted signer: certificate is not yet valid

Failed to setup patcher for upgrade

Full error and command

I hadn’t used this host in a hot minute and one thing I know is that SSL Certs are time/date-based. I took a look at the date and time in ESXI and lo and behold found an incorrect date.

The incorrect date!

After setting the correct date, I re-ran the command and the ESXI update completed successfully. I also set the server to use NTP so this doesn’t pop up again.

Changing PHP Version in StableHost

Looking for how to change the active version of PHP in StableHost? Scroll down to the SOFTWARE section. For me, it was the last option. Hit Select PHP Version .

On the ensuing screen, next to Current PHP version choose your version! You can also select your PHP extensions / addons

And that’s it! Once you’ve chosen your PHP version you’ll receive a confirmation and that’s it. Enjoy!
