I update and reboot weekly where I can.

There are a few systems that fall out of this process though.

@scotth said in [Poor VPN performance]

I picked up a refurbished HP Elite 8300 SFF for $300 about 4 years ago. I loaded the free offering from Sophos and have been running it without issue. It uses OpenVPN for remote access. I also have an IPSEC tunnel setup for work.
I did have to buy two NICs. Since it is SFF, I had to make sure that low profile brackets were included.

Was thinking this but could I add a WiFi card and make it into a Access Point as well. Since it for home the less kit taking power the better

I don't think it will let you create an AP. I grabbed a bottom of the line AP from Ubiquity. Works fine

This one seems to make more sense since its installed from a snap like what Ubuntu does by default.

I have seen this before and it is usually with IE or Edge and can login on Chrome or Mozilla Firefox. I also try to clear all the user sessions via powershell.

/sigh. The expected answer.

I know that EPM is a huge pain in the ass. But that is also why I willingly pay for it.

Any distro with a light desktop. Linux per se is not really memory hungry. Try lxqt/lxde.

Here's some more.

My home computer just upgraded to 1803. We shall see how it goes.

I use DNSfilter for a client for simple filtering. It works well.

@scottalanmiller Ok thanks and interesting. I will have to research them some.

Was going to ask the same thing lol

The default dark theme is getting annoying, so I am lookint at other themes and found this.

Confirmed annoying.

[I found this BBB listing today(https://www.bbb.org/boston/business-reviews/telecommunication-equipment-repair/granite-telecommunications-inc-in-quincy-ma-81783/reviews-and-complaints)

Doesn't appear to be too good

Kinda fishy, yeah.

Anyone have valid links to the firmware for Aastra 6737i phones?

The Mitel site sucks.

This link works.

@momurda said in GPO - Unable To Deploy Java 10 64bit - Fails to install (1603 Error):

Try this

msiexec /i "jre10filename.msi" /q ENTERPRISE=YES

Just a long shot, obviously change it to the msi file name for java10.

I tried by modifying the MSI to enable ENTERPRISE, but I think that caused additional problems (should have used a transform). I just went ahead and deployed the newer version of 8 and kicked this down the road until January 2019 when 8 is discontinued.

Thanks for the help momurda, I appreciate it.

@scottalanmiller said in What Is Expected of Microsoft Server Support?:

Did they fix something broken with the OS that IT could not have fixed?

There are some quirky poorly documented things that are sometimes need to be done with ESEUTIL, and repairing from corruption, or failed log replays on Exchange and SQL. In theory it's not always Microsofts fault (caused by storage layer issues).

The other issue is driver issues for IO devices. In theory this should be transative (supported by teh OEM who agree's to support your OS). That said OEM's often don't support the free OS's because they don't have joint engineering commitements to fix issues on them.

RedHat has hard commitments from Avago/Broadcom to fix a driver HBA issue if they find it. Having a Server that has a supported OS means they have Avago's commitment to spend hundreds of thousands of engineering time to fix an issue. Redhat will possibly work to mitigate it from their side if possible. Missing the OS vendor in this conversation/effort can make things move slower or stall. Avago and other component manufactoreres will refuse support calls from a customer who bought the device through an OEM so without the OEM listing your OS as supported you are kinda screwed.

(A long time ago) I saw a case where a I/O device had outright buggy silicon, and a driver and OS side workaround was needed to resolve it. This is all the more fun as how the I/O device engineering teams work is they generally refuse to work with a customer directly and require the OS vendor escalate the issue to them.

@dafyre said in Suggestions for Unifi bridge:

@JaredBusch -- What about the places where they likely need to be mounted outside?

most are outdoor compatible and work well.

I wonder if urbackup would be able to do what you want. If it's exclusively for backup.

I remember having that annoying problem when printing from Fedora to a Brother MFP device.

This is real Windows 10, not Fedora that just looks like Windows 10 😉
