@Dashrender I think along the same lines as you. In addition, if some cookies are dropped google has more information than you can imagine, so does it really make a difference if your ISP can see the urls you connect to? My concern supporting it professionally is that their banking site might not work if they are behind a VPN. For a client that I have that was using a load balancer, I had to write rules so that traffic to that site would only go out one interface. Their site couldn't handle the fact that our connecting IP might change. I imagine with the VPN it would be the same type of problems.

Wait - huh? Your load balancer didn't keep all the traffic to a given session on the same outbound IP? I guess I just assumed each browsing session to say, google.com or bankrus.com would stay on a single interface unless that interface went down. Sure two different sights might be access via two of your outgoing IPs, but that normally doesn't matter.

If he wasn't using sticky sessions.

Well, I even saw something that even that wont stop the evesdropping. There still are ways to track.

Yep. Someone figured out a way to read the signal from analog monitor connections. That's right, if you've got VGA, you can be eased dropped on from quite a distance (I forget exactly how far away, one hundred some feet.)

So DVI and HDMI are encrypted?

@DustinB3403 Uhm, clean that up with no downtime? You'd need to replace all the cables, or at least be able to unplug things for a couple minutes while you reroute the cord through proper cable management of some sort. Good luck with that.

Or a lot of zip ties to hold them at bay until he can afford downtime.

Another teams issue....Like trying to find a condom on a navy ship. Its new people, cmon cut me some slack.

Just had to swap an HyperV IDE based drive to a smaller SCSI channel drive. Everything went well!

I have a customer that wants to link network drive locations in chat and be clickable like a shortcut or html link. So far I have found no way to do this. Anyone?
Even trying file://///server1/folder1/ does not work. Then even if I get it clickable, if their browser default is not IE, it wont work.

Should have done that as you go. Not wait until last minute.

DB is offline without issue so far.

I feel like Elon Musk working on that gets us a step or two closer to Westworld...

Seems that way..

@Texkonc Nope, Vazata on Midway. South of PGBT.

New company is at GIP, not heard of it before, but seems stable enough.

Let me guess, Softlayer on 35, the redhead step child of a legacy DC for them.

Pretty much.

Added some more scariness to the mix.

If any of it is built with a Windows OS, we have nothing to worry about. It will be too busy installing patches to take over the world.

Surely, as smart as Musk is, I am sure he wearing the goofy red fedora or a flavor of it.

Already moved those to its own DB, since the next project will use it heavily, so we wanted it in its own DB.

I have been working on moving mailboxes from a singular DB to multiple DB's.
Multiple different reasons, faster restores for VIP people, different limits etc....
Currently everyone was in one, single large drive, etc...
We had the 365 convo already, so please don't ask..

so......
I have got all the user mailboxes moved, moved the Arbitration mailboxes and other systems mailboxes I can see.
I have run the disabled mailboxes cleanup, and the soft delete cleanup.
Before I dismount the original DB and see what breaks, what other gotcha's should I look out for?
