You know when you think you got something and fully understand it
So you just dive in and start making changes.
Maybe you are following a nice sonicwall guide that references a 2003 server haha well just a friendly reminder unless you got a backup your screwed haha
Always do backups before making a change that you can't undo
No backup record everything
I thought o I can enable ssl ldap for vpn users really easy come to find out when you adjust sonicwall ldap config it nukes all prior setting no big deal right except that their dam documentation is not on point and then you are wondering why the old settings don't work haha
Thank God a system admin had mysonicwall cloud backups enabled as I would have been screwed definitely buying that guy lunch tomorrow ๐
Now here is what I am going to do to train my self I am going to login to over 20 sonicwalls tomorrow and export all the configurations as well as setup my sonicwall accounts if not configured
Never stop learning and always learn from your mistakes!
