@dbeato said in Can Roaming Profiles be a good idea?:

Before Windows 10 to get a symlinknyou couldn’t do it without elevated permissions now is much improved.

I use directory junction (/J) instead of directory symbolic link (/D), which requires admin privileges. All I wanted is to create a link from c:\users\user1\Desktop to c:\users\user1\Nextcloud\Desktop.

Edit: Now obviously there are more to it than just creating links to have it properly setup.

Sigh - Well - there's the problem. - well likely anyway.

Those $2.50 instances makes its impossible to install Fedora without using the one Vultr provides.

@mmicha

Yup, it's a good solution for sure. Nothing is perfect, but as long as you have CommQuotes by your side, you will have someone there to help you if you need it. We have clients with a few phones to hundreds of seats, as well as call centers that push millions of minutes per month over their network.

You are in good hands and I think you are going to save so much money that you will be hoisted up on to a chariot and whisked away to the kingdom that awaits you as King of Phones at your company

Data Deduplication - Good to have, no problems here but others have horror stories -- test and proceed with caution.

I'd word that differently. more like...

Possibly good to have, but not normally. Generally isn't terrible, but rarely worth it.

Depends on what you need. If you're expecting 10:1 compression, yeah, not worth it. But if you need to squeeze every ounce of space out of your storage, then it can be. I've seen between 20 and 30% Dedupe on two different systems. Saved us 600 gigs on one side and ~900 GB on another.

Definitely still a proceed with caution.

EchoDot came back hard.

I disabled the pi-hole for 5 minutes (setting in the menu on the left) and poof. it is happy again.

I found this while looking at this 1.1.1.1 ATT/cloudflare dns thing.

Not exactly what you want i dont think but interesting.

If you want a sliding scale example....

Factory: Tiny design (1%) with loads of repeatable manufacturing (99%)
Bridge: Big design early (50%) with a fair amount of building process (50%)
IT: All design (99%) with a tiny moment of one time implementation (1%)

Funny enough, I saw this setting for the first time in years just this morning! Yes, as B3D says, it's called "Always BCC Myself" and it had to have been selected manually by the exec in question.

Why do I find that not at all surprising that it would have to manually be set?

That's a good thing. It's a good setting, but you'd not want it for most people.

I submitted too fast and didn't finish my thought. I meant more so that it would be manually set and the exec wouldn't remember that he did it.

Oh he remembers, he's just not admitting it, most likely.

Voice Operator Panel

Interesting. It seems to be a full softphone though. I will definitely add it to my list though.

LOL, that's why 😉

Duplicate IP or bad switch or local port... possibly driver.

I have a Monster OTG that I want to upgrade by moving to a SBC (rPiZ).. could be fun to try out.

Finding a file or folder without seeing any permission denied texts.

upgrade to 6.0.0 is done and was such a non event. can't see any issues with my setup.

Awesome

@danp I didn't see that.

Federate with Azure, turn on multifactor, hit the gym.

For anyone interested, I recently setup Ansible AWX on Fedora 27 using this guide. Running as a local VM so didn't do anything with Nginx / reverse proxy.

@eddiejennings said in System center configuration manager and SQL server:

For those who use SCCM, do you host the database on the same server as the SCCM application, or do you have SQL server as its own VM?

I am replacing SCCM in our test environment, and will be doing the same eventually in our production environment. The current one has SQL server host locally. But since were looking to start over, I figured it would be worth weighing the pros and cons of keeping SQL Server local or having you be on the remote server.

In my last job, we ran SCCM for a while and we had everything on one VM. (Small set up with ~200 PCs). It ran OK.

I'd suggest keeping it to one host for your test environment, and separating them out for your production setup.
