Yep still here - just working

@JaredBusch Oh they have the money for sure. I just wonder if the quality will be good enough for those that put needle to vinyl. Pretty finicky bunch IMHO

We just did this evaluation and found these:

@Dominica I U2

@DustinB3403 Thanks! And the video was an added pleasure. Even though I already know Schrodinger's cat theory, I had to watch for the amusement.

@garak0410

All right, clearly you have multiple issues. They appear to be all Windows Firewall related:

In the case that you posted, it is clear on the affected system - estimating02 - that inbound requests are being denied. Both from your system and the DC

Additionally, it is not a DNS issue, as this seems to be resolving just fine.

So on estimating02, go turn off any firewalls (just for testing) and try pinging it again. I think you'll find everything works. So then, simply restore the defaults of the Windows Firewall and re-input your exceptions. Then install Webroot.

The pacman will be there!

@LostDungeon Bad idea! Never imply that your girl is not beautiful via a gift. False eye lashes will prompt the question of "why" to which you must say "I want you to become more beautiful" - this will not go well.

Get her a trip to a beauty spa instead. Tell her you want to pamper her.

@Dashrender said in Most Workstations Don't Ping But Are Connected - Some Network Apps Are Locking Up:

Since support is included.... Call Webroot and open a ticket. I have always found them very helpful

This is a good point - Webroot is very powerful and some of its features may be causing slow write times from the drafting program. Webroot support can help sort that out.

Again, you can always test this theory by temporarily disabling Webroot on the affected station.

@scottalanmiller

Well... I'm on United, so I guess we'll catch up Friday.... maybe Saturday morning.

I'm on Amtrak. Shall we race?

You, my friend, are at a distinct advantage.

@Suyeins

Bienvenidos

@Kris_K

It's a bit more than that - By $600 in premiums. So more like $6K on the first plan. Still F'd if you ask me.

This could be combined with IT Finance or as a compliment to IT finance. The role-playing aspect could be very powerful. Especially if we had some real world examples from the community.

Welcome @Natchos - glad to have you here

Is it possible to share some of the presentations from MC2016? And hope people like us who couldn't attend this year, get to see some videos soon!

Everything was recorded.

Give them some time to to post production.

EVERYTHING was recorded. Even midnight trips into sleeping people's rooms.

Is Sam still alive?

Not sure how many off-roaders we have here, or if anyone is interested.... I have a 2014 CanAm Commander 800R DPS with a Big Tex trailer to haul it with. I'm selling the whole setup for $9950. It is in Dallas currently, but we can probably make some arrangement to get it delivered. If you want to see the entire listing you can click on the following link:

And you can tag me here if you have any questions.

Thanks for looking!

@JaredBusch

If I'm reading this right, you're out of pocket for over $20,000 a year if you have something major? WTF - How can they expect anyone to be on the hook for $20K/year for medical. unless you needed major surgery, you could get a heck of a lot of preventive, and incident based care for those dollars. Extrapolate over 5 years, and my god man, that's a house!

I don't want to poor vinegar in your fruitloops, but your budget seems way low for this type of endeavor.

ERP packages are really designed around everything you mentioned short of accounting, and accounting is the primary focus of most ERP systems. QB is not the way to go, and better to change now rather than later.

You did not provide any indication of how big this company is, and an idea of the revenue. This would help tremendously in finding a good solution. But, you're going to need more money. $500/month will not get you there.

To say that having the software cannot cost as much as an employee is unrealistic. It should cost more, because it's going to do the work of multiple employees.

Generally ERP is going to cost from the low $20K to $millions depending on your needs and the number of users. For example; Syspro (which is not a horrible choice for your needs) will run about $30K for the initial install with 5 users.

This is NOT where you will spend the most money. Planning and implementation will cost at least this much. And you will have annual maintenance and upgrades.

None of these solutions are turnkey, and will require configuration, and in most cases, some customization. This will be true in your case, as you want to integrate with other packages.

The features you describe certainly are functions of ERP systems, and the trick will be to find one that has most of what you want, plus the ability to configure or customize to encompass the rest.

At the end of the day, if they won't or can't pony up, you may have to live with ShipStation and make some customizations or some work-arounds.

Good luck

While we are on the subject of MangoCon, what do ya'll (It's a texas thing) want for sessions? Specific topics?
