This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Remote access home PC to test remote access to the work PC (infosec.pub)

I was having trouble with access to my work remote desktop from home. Each time I was told the issue was fixed, I went home and it didn't work again.

So, I used my work PC to use remote desktop on my home server, and use that to remote access the work remote desktop again. Managed to troubleshoot the problem and complete the steps I needed to do on site to get this working.

I'm new to self hosting and am really enjoying having access to my home services. I chuckled at remote desktop inception, but it's been really helpful in solving my problem.

๐Ÿ˜† might be. I never paid attention. It's updated to Windows 11 since taking this picture. I'll see if Office updated as well.

Edit: I've checked again at work. Yup, they're all on Office 2010.

Updating to windows 11 will have zero effect on what version of Office is installed. The OS is not the apps installed on it.

I know. My point was that they've pushed a bunch of updates recently and Office may have updated as well......it hasn't.
