It's better to get a HVAC guy in and take some measurements. They measure the flow in the ventilation system and can tell you if it's enough or not. People die from CO but get headaches from high CO2 levels. Anyway, you trying to monitor the ventilation system is like the ventilation guy trying to monitor server performance.

If there is a real risk somewhere where people could die, you don't solve it with an alarm from amazon that you plug into the wall and hope it works and that someone will hear it and if they hear it they will know what it is and evacuate the building.

I used it at my last place to do replicated storage for certain VMs instead of replicated host storage.

@Jimmy9008
Taking into account the cluster specification you mentioned, StarWind is not the bottleneck as the network configuration might be. For the similar setup of StarWind HyperConverged Appliances, we install, at least, 25 GbE network adapters and switches, however, 40 GbE would be preferable. I believe you should benchmark the network performance, whether 10 GbE network is the bottleneck or not for your environment.

As it was emphasized, use Live Optics to get current performance utilization picture by your production. Additionally, you might use diskspd to benchmark storage performance and network utilization.

Please tag or dm me should you have any questions.

Have a nice day!

@Obsolesce Step1 was to get the printing working. Now that it is working, I will be investigating as to whether the PCL6 driver works, or the universal drivers. They have with other older HP printers, this particular one didn't. thus the reason I presented the situation to the group. I am appreciative of all responses

What I don't know is, can more than one person share an alias address in Zoho?

No, you'd need a distribution list for that. An alias can only point to one thing.

Well the distro list would get you incoming, but not outgoing ability on that address.

Zoho Groups allow it.

So does Office 365/Exchange. I now have about 10 domains where we have users with their own respective groups for domains that they need to send out from. The main issue with this is dealing with mobile devices; there isn't a way that I know if to send from a group.

when a union gets involved and peoples' values are no longer evaluated

uh oh!

It's not a secret, the point of unions was to represent the value of "breathing" rather than specific values. It is what it is, unions benefit those without skills at the expense of those with them. They only make sense in a "fodder" setting where the value of the worker isn't determined by their work individually, but the availability of the entire pool. Unions are just a nice sounding term for "collective bargaining", which of course is itself a polite way of making it crystal clear that the individuals don't have anything special to offer to can't bargain themselves.

That worked, installing the Runtime from the ISO fixed the dll error and copying over the sql.ini file allowed the client app to properly reach the databaes.

I did see that from 0patch. I don't know that I want to deploy their tool across my 2,000+ end points for this one problem.

@dafyre said in MeshCentral - Increased Security Installation:

Edit: If they crash the application and get access to the server, that is still a concern, but not as big of a concern of gaining access to the application.

Right, the only reason to want access to the server is to get access to the app. The app is literally the only thing worth anything on the box.

Local admin account, PowerShell, SSH.... five minutes to fix 😉

I need that script

Do you already have a local admin account on each machine that is working and SSH enabled?

I’d have to look into the SSH part, but yea.

SSH is off by default. Without that, maybe PowerShell Remoting will work? You need something to let you on each machine individually to run things.

We have Dameware. I wonder if that could be of use.

Definitely should be able to.

@JaredBusch said in Kari's Law PBX requirement:

The law does not require a DID per location.

hmm... This specific statement stymies me.
Though in reading your additional information - assuming 911 is able to read extra information, I suppose it's technically correct. Instead of 911 simply relying up location data associated with DIDs, the PBX could provide the location data directly with the call.

What vendor is currently allowing this to happen, @JaredBusch and what PBXs currently support it? (I'm assuming FreePBX does though possibly only through manual creation of a dial plan?)

@JaredBusch what do you charge for a managed PBX?

For no support, simply updates performed monthly, I've quoted people $150.

@scottalanmiller said in Need suggestion for local Windows backup:

But the "older" Windows 7 Backup that takes an image works quite well, too. Depends on your goals really.

Yeah, it tends to work so well that over the long run, you're screwed unless you do some custom upkeep.

wrcombs.com is available. Go register it for a year at godaddy (or whoever) for $12.

Then, like @thwr pointed out in his list, use something like ad.wrcombs.com as your AD domain.

doesn't sound horrible. thanks.

Welcome. Staying away from .local domains, plus knowing you are not using somebody else's domain will make your life SO MUCH easier. No need to start learning bad habits in the beginning.

Of interesting note: In Windows NT4 and Windows 2000, Interix / WSU were "add on" components for Windows. But starting with 2003 R2 and going through 2008 R2, it was built in. Then it was discontinued. Then revived with the totally different system that we have today.

Interix became integrated as a component of the regular Windows OS distribution as a component of Windows Server 2003 R2 in December, 2005 at release 5.2 and was a component of the Windows Vista release as release 6.0 (RTM November, 2006). Windows Server 2008 had release 6.0. Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 included SUA 6.1. - wikipedia

I haven't seen any difference between the Prodesk and Elitedesk from a workability POV. But the Elitedesk do come with US support and generally don't have to dick around much with L1 support when calling in. I also think they come with a 3 yr warranty by default... when you add that to the Prodesk, they costs come close to the same, so if you're considering 3 year warranty - I'd go Elitedesk.

My view is for the UK. With social media and online services, even internet banking etc, all our data is out there and how it's used we have no control. I wouldn't be surprised if they all feed into GCHQ anyway.

@DustinB3403 true.. however I am trying to learn the technology . The problem I am have is trying to learn. Thats how Scale and all these other companies come in business. they take an idea and make it better.

I know everyone has they're opinions about money and what not. But at the same time... this is what fuels my desire in the tech industry. Is to learn new tech and keep evolving over time. Seeing what other best practices are and so forth and so on.

So it might look at a costly investment etc, and a lot of time wasted but that is your opinion. Its just like collection cars. this not only how I make money but a hobby for me too.

Heard of it, but have never looked into it.
