Well, then that kind of makes sense with my experiences.
I used it working for 3 companies within the past 7-8 years. The first was a large 20K employee organization and we had 100+ person video/screen sharing conferences often. BUT, they had their own installation of the servers in the company's private data center.
The second place was less than 100, and so is the 3rd company. So that's probably why I haven't been experiencing the same thing.

Is one method preferred/better than the other? (script to change permissions vs changing file location of file)
To me, it would come down to WTF you are using these custom things for. Without that detail, I have no idea what would be better.
We're querying a file in this location to get some information from the PBX such as current calls, queue information, etc for an internal piece of software. It doesn't have to be in that directory, so I'll go down t he path of just moving the files and referencing them. Hopefully FreePBX wont overwrite the apache conf file when upgraded/reloaded.
Why not push it directly to where you need it?
You mean push the original files in question to the PBX via script?
I thought that they were already on the PBX. Push them to somewhere else via script is what I was thinking.
They (apparently) have custom scripts that pull data from Asterisk for use elsewhere. These scripts would have to reside on the Asterisk box.
Of course they could rewrite things to remotely connect to asterisk and pull the data also, but I personally have no experience in doing that.
Correct, or another alternative would be to just write a script that copies the updated files from a source server, to the destination PBX(s). That would eliminate the need for the user fred to have to do anything at all.
@gjacobse Oh yeah, for sure. Wireless all the way. Point to point actually from across town.

I did a huge partner call with MS themselves in January and they don't use it
Oh that's too good. I thought they would want to use it so they can "achieve more ROI, collaborate more, and synergize more with colleagues and partners" </MicrosoftWordBingo>

What hypervisor do you plan to use?
Well, either Hyper-V OR, more than likely, I'll plan to use Xen so I can get familiar with it. I've been using Hyper-V for years now at various businesses, so I feel like it's time to learn something else like Xen.
@dafyre haha. Sarcastic. It's copying from an internal drive to a new SSD connected via a USB adapter cord.
@Danp said in Verizon Adds Unlimited Data (again) with restrictions:
@DustinB3403 Actually, I believe you get 10GB / line of hotspot usage.
Is that true? I would like unlimited, but certainly not if the tradeoff is that I can't tether. Tethering to my laptop is critical in some scenarios.
So with a personal budget of about $400 for this, I think this is a decent option.
Dell R710
It has the H700 RAID card in it, so it will accept my WD 2-3 TB drives that I plan to put in it.
Opinions? I can find this server cheaper, but it either doesnt have the drive trays, or it has a Perc 6i, which wouldn't work for the large drives.
Upgrading XO to the latest release! Had to free up some space first. So far so good.
Now I just need to either build or find a rack to put in the closet under my staircase. I have access to a shorter 23" deep rack that I could probably make work with some shorter rails.
Just scheduled our Dynamics CRM upgrade to Dynamics365. Let's see if this is any better than what we currently have. If not, I'll keep investigating other CRM and Helpdesk products.
This would be a good time to discuss best practices for phone systems.
For example:
We currently use a password protected OneNote doc hosted on SharePoint. However, it is far too easy to easily delete an entry when you are copying the passwords out of the document. Our senior techs are very careful, but I'm concerned about new staff, etc accidentally deleting passwords.
@scottalanmiller , How are you liking the SharePoint Wiki for passwords? Deleting entries is a non issue since it is a webpage.

I'm starting my drinking.
Today has just pissed me off.
I drink so my brain can "shut off" sometimes. Otherwise, it's non stop thinking about work.

Great news... Now somebody fix the Korora/Fedora issues for my 2012 Macbook pro, and I will officially convert!
Ok, get a new piece of hardware. Problem solved.
However, I can't deny the fact that there are plenty of other laptop options out there with far better battery life. Oh well.
How does everyone handle PBX updates for multiple installations/clients? For example, with FreePBX, updates come out nearly all the time. With many clients, how do you handle the updates? It can be time consuming to log into each client's GUI, check for updates, run them, and restart the services. Is there a better, automated way, or do you just update on a schedule?

Interesting. Thanks for the recommendation.
I didn't realize renting was an option. That is news to me.
Yeah, I haven't look into that either. Looks like if you order today, you have to have it back to Amazon by Dec 18.

@fuznutz04 said in PBX Update routines:
I've seen that you can do it via a command, which of course could be scheduled, but I'm always Leary of that with FreePBX.
sudo -u asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin upgradeall
sudo -u asterisk /var/lib/asterisk/bin/module_admin reloadThat's the module part. Don't forget the OS, too.
Right. The OS part (at least in FreePBX) can be set for automatic updates via the GUI in System Admin.
