@scottalanmiller I would have thought that MS actually had normal people to tell them if the user experience is good, not just those who drink the koolaid.

It was still the Balmer era when that was designed.

I've not found one that I like. Definitely a week point. I like both the default and the OWA apps on iOS. I've used Good Mail and like the security but dislike the app.

Good Mail is a pain to use. Especially if you get any large volume of email.

I've done this for a Gold Partner before. The big thing I remember was to get customers to acknowledge some projects that you use for each competency. It wasn't too difficult. If I remember, it was just have x number of certified staff and then get project references.

Yes, I should have said vendors! Some of the smaller vendors let you speak to the programmers which can be quite painful.

Thanks @scottalanmiller

No problem 🙂

Classics. Some I haven't seen before too.

Yeah, we're trying to take a more holistic approach to security. Whether virus, malware or phishing, we're trying to be the one-stop place for security reputation for processes, IP address and URLs.

Not much call for AC yet.

@IRJ gotcha...the issue is PUP, potentially unwanted programs. Basically from what I have read, to prevent being sued PUPs are come up in the list for you to remove but are not pre-checked because you might have actually wanted conduit or some other crap on your PC. And Pro actually finds this stuff in real time, preventing you from having to check off 300 boxes later.

I've been using Clonezilla for 4+ years.. it's easy and fast. it has some caveats, but you can read about the requirements if you're doing anything more than restoring to the same (or same size) disk as you started with.

I was thinking more about controlling rules in Exchange. If HR need to be involved to get something enforced then I may as well forget it.

Then why the concern? If management and HR think it doesn't matter then it should definitely not concern you. Not IT's place to make those kinds if calls.

@scottalanmiller ha, we always thought you didn't sleep.
Do you have a sleep apnoea machine? Works wonders...

A CPAP, yes I do, since 2005. It literally keeps me alive. My doctor only had one patient who was as bad as I am. That patient died on him.... Was sitting at his desk at work, forgot to breath, passed out and his autonomic system never kicked in. Just suffocated naturally sitting at his desk.

The mat is tiny. It would make more sense to pick one up from Grainger.

You could probably build one with stuff from Grainger, or Lowes.

Oh yes, my Google Fu is powerful today.I found the answer and tried it, just what the doctor ordered, aside from some weird formatting, but who cares really?

You can open/read your email and then in the toolbar at the top under Move, choose Calendar. A calendar schedule appointment opens up with your email subject in the subject line and in the text area the body of your email. You just set your start/end time and BAM, its on the calendar. I might actually get stuff done now.

It really was. And she left it on a chair for her and jump out of a hiding place to surprise her with it.

Thanks @Dashrender. I've actually have changed most to come to my email address which will be one of the aliases forwarding to Zendesk along with support, info and something else. I will then create a new email address for myself. This way all the clients that have my email address will automatically go to Zendesk to create tickets. I just have to weed out vendors and such and send them along to my new email addy.

Great information everyone, thanks!
