  @openit said in Microsoft 365 group Mailbox Full -How Backup and Delete emails to free up space?: @dbeato said in Microsoft 365 group Mailbox Full -How Backup and Delete emails to free up space?: 1- It only deletes the individual message they received. 2- The only tool is to do a E-discovery search for email sent to this Group and then exporting that to a PST. 3- Yes, 50 GB is the maximum storage for an Office 365 Business Basic and Standard https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/exchange-online-service-description/exchange-online-limits#mailbox-storage-limits You might want to setup an archiving addon for that mailbox or bump the license to E3 so they get 100 GB of Mailbox storage and then archiving is included as well. 4- YOu can setup a retention policy that deletes all items that is 2 years old and then apply to the mailbox and force the Retention Policy to apply then it will take a day or so but it will run faster. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/set-up-an-archive-and-deletion-policy-for-mailboxes?view=o365-worldwide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/exchange/start-managedfolderassistant?view=exchange-ps (To force the retention policy) Not sure if you misunderstood. I got confirmed that deleting any emails on Group Mailbox won't any member's mailbox items. Yes, did it that way, went well. Yeah, not an option for me now. Seems nice and faster action, than PowerShell commands Microsoft guys running. I wrote the answer 1 in a confusing way. The emails don't get deleted from each user mailbox that received it so no issue there.

  @syko24 said in VOIP.MS Took Chicago7 Offline: @JaredBusch said in VOIP.MS Took Chicago7 Offline: @syko24 said in VOIP.MS Took Chicago7 Offline: @dafyre said in VOIP.MS Took Chicago7 Offline: How long did you wait before changing all your stuff to Chicago 6? It didn't take that long but was just a pain. I literally just finished updating 10 PBX systems to point to Chicago6 which is what VoipMS switched everyone to and then all of a sudden Chicago7 came back online and they automatically moved everyone back to Chicago7. I had to go back in and change everyone back to Chicago7 on the PBX. Did they not update the DNS to be the IP for 6 also? No both domains pointed to different ip addresses. That really seems unreasonable on their part. The expectation that all of their customers on 7 have to manually change to 6, then back... super crazy!!

  Since it doesn't look like Nextcloud will ever address this method, does anyone have any real world experience and thoughts on Nextcloud's other methods of accessing offsite storage? Specifically: while using human readable paths and filenames. This is from Nextcloud's site, and it gives me hope....... Any storage technology you need Some of the storage technologies supported in Nextcloud include NFS and local storage as well as scalable, multi-bucket capable object storage like S3 and SWIFT compatible and CIFS/Windows Shares. Nextcloud can also seamlessly access files on (s)FTP, SharePoint systems and more. Thanks!

  @ronneyb said in Proxmox Backup Strategy and 'Snapshot' Weirdness: The snapshot mode confused me because the term snapshot is also used to create what I will call a 'state' snapshot rather than a 'real' backup. We use the standard ProxMox backups. You don't get a powerful incremental function, but the cost (zero) offsets that compared to the cost of storage for us most of the time. It's rare that we are backing up a giant system, and full backups have their advantages. So mostly we just can overlook the lack of incrementals, just not important. If you really need them, I'd recommend a different tool. Or you can theoretically approximate them using a powerful compression and deduping location for the storage.

  Are you using a Load Balancer or AutoScaling groups? If so you can just create a template to spin them off based on the AMI you created.

  @black3dynamite said in ZeroTier New Website: @stacksofplates said in ZeroTier New Website: @warren-stanley said in ZeroTier New Website: looks like it updated - i created a freebie account a little while back (just in case) That kind of bugs me. I understand that it's 50 devices, whatever. And I've been using it for like 4-5 years now. But why is there no grandfathered plan for already existing members. It used to be like 10, and then they made it 100. Now they're taking some away? I get money and what not, but usually you get grandfathered in instead of just blanked removal. I get having a grandfathered paid plan but a free plan, I’m 50/50 with that one. yeah idk, it just seems to be not the normal pattern for services lately, but I do understand it's free. I guess maybe even a notification about the change would have been nice. I didn't get any information that they were changing it.

I've only used it at work, and that version is robust. I'm wondering if it's comparable to Graylog or other log ingestion tools. Maybe there's a better tool for the same purpose? https://developer.ibm.com/qradar/ce/ If it's open source why not but.p up those thresholds a bit and go to town? It's OS? I never found the license info. I never said it was, I asked if it is. They use docker on a centos platform distributed via an ova. Licensing is based on events per seconds.

  IF your intercom unit can be inside and you can hard-wire your mic input and speaker output from the SIP Intercom device, here is what we use for this same scenario: Speaker: https://smile.amazon.com/Indoor-Outdoor-Horn-Speaker-Impedance/dp/B002UL0WH8 Mic: https://smile.amazon.com/Mono-Stereo-Parabolic-Microphone-Standard-060-Polycarbonate/dp/B00GGX3X7W Because it is parabolic, it doesn't have to be close to the subject. We install them about 10' feet away. These mics are so focused, we don't hear any engine noise, only the driver. We build a gable roof (roof only) over the dish and the roof has only one end. We place the dish at the far end (the capped end) from the vehicle. The roof is sized so the disk is completely up/inside the roof line. The open end of the roof is at the vehicle side of the setup. The mic array detects sound from air flow through the mic element, so you have to protect the mic array inside the dish from unfriendly weather while still allowing sound vibrations to get to the mic itself. This is why the roof with an open end. We used to cap both ends and cut a 22" circle at the vehicle end, but, for the extra work, it didn't really provide any additional protection from the elements. Eventually the mic gets ruined. So we just replace the mic, while using the same dish, mount, and roof. Wildtronics has a weatherproof mono parabolic coming out sometime next year. When that happens, you can do away with the roof. The black dishes are less expensive that the clear dishes.

I just had to reach out to my SP/reseller and have them open a ticket with MS, who got back to them right away with a download link and license key. Great news - this is what Insight is currently pitching to me to get me to move my licensing through them.

  @biggen : Something like procmon with thread profiling events enabled should give you an application's processor or disk usage over a period of time. EDIT: Good example here

  @Fredtx said in Website Creation Recommendations: @black3dynamite said in Website Creation Recommendations: @gjacobse said in Website Creation Recommendations: I wouldn't necessarily say ZERO - but listed it as a donation - You mentioned this was for a church, and churches are Non-Profits. You could easily claim it as a donation of services. I understood it was for her and not the Church. Yes, it's mainly for her. She's very involved with the Women's ministry in church. However, she is about to complete her counseling degree, and wants her own personal website for blogging, and videos for her ministry, and I'm sure to share with other ladies within the church, and outside the church. If anything, charge more for advertising to the church.

  @stacksofplates said in Virtualbox Issues: @jmoore said in Virtualbox Issues: @stacksofplates said in Virtualbox Issues: What is the specific error? Application Guard and Credential Guard will use hyper-v to sandbox without actually enabling hyper-v. There was no error. It looks like it loaded kernel but I can't be 100% sure that it did so completely. I would get the opensuse splash and it would just hang from there, never moving past that. I guess its just something with this machine at work because virtualbox worked perfectly on my workstation at home last night. They had identical settings so it was just weird and I was feeling like an idiot lol. Yeah it could be the application guard stuff. From my experience you need to use bcdedit to disable that. And it's annoying. I guess it could be but this is a newly imaged machine and other machines (but different models) work with the defaults also. So I wonder if it does not have something to do with this specific model or something in its bios. I glanced at the virtualbox documentation page just enough to make sure these defaults are what is suggested and they were. so it cvould be related to hyper-v but I am not convinced as other machines with the same image work fine. Who knows lol, its just one of those things.

  @scottalanmiller said in AVImark support has stated that running virtual servers can result in a 40-50% data loss or complete destruction of your server.: and we just left that as it was (having learned about it), that's establishing that that is official. Bolded bit is the thing you are glossing over. This entire thing is a rant by @CCWTech No where in here is there proof that anyone, above the support tech at the vendor, has been made aware of anything. At this point there is nothing but an unsubstantiated claim by @CCWTech the vendor knows what the support tech said. Yes, absolutely, if it is known and not corrected, this would be shit, but no one, in this thread, knows this. Is this a shit ass vendor with a bad product? Maybe, hell probably even. But I won't take the word of anyone the just comes on here and rants without any proof.

Yeah, famously a bad implementation.
