@romo now there's a workaround if I've ever seen one...

Well disabling the realtime scan on Webroot has solved my issue.

/shrug.

@gjacobse said in Windows 10 1709 PDFs won't open in IE 11:

Your problem is using the Windows IE or Edge for a PDF viewer.... KILL IT... change the file associate to a real viewer like FoxIT, Adobe or etc...

eh? Before the update, Adobe Reader is the associated viewer. After the it's not, but changing it didn't seem to stick. At least one user had it revert to Edge the next day.

Might be more of setting the default program in Control Panel.

Another case of MS 'Knowing better then the rest of us'

@storageninja said in Installing Hyper-V 2016:

@dashrender Does your host support HTML5 iDRAC? I'm a big fan of it over the old java stuff.

Sadly no. I think that became available to iDRAC7 (I saw a mention of an update for iDRAC 7 that made it like iDRAC9, which I only assume means it's HTML5).

I didn't read the other replies before making mine - but we all had the same info.

You'd think exceptions would be made. . .

Not really - I'd think they'd get their ass in gear and get the investigation done before the statue of limitations is up. But I also know that they don't really care, so, meh.

@ambarishrh said in Weird blinking mouse pointer issue on my work laptop:

Explorer flickering and mouse icon flickering were unrelated as i suspected!

Final Solution that worked for me:

Mouse flickering issue fix: Uninstall Spiceworks (Suspecting it was trying to run something and may be crashing due to lack of admin rights)

For Windows explorer flickering issue, i just disabled the "preview pane" and it fixed that problem as well!

Spiceworks is not supported in Windows 10...

oh! It worked when i ran (was checking the inventory part for something i needed internally), but i guess that explains why!

Oh it will work but not supported means that you are on your own, I have been dealing with this for the last year or so on the SW community where the application has weird things happening on Windows 10 and Server 2016. As soon as the person goes back to a supported Windows 7, 8.1 or Server 2012 R2 it works fine.

@bigbear said in FusionPBX benefits:

If you have designs on managing multiple tenants from a single server it really is a no brainer to check this project out. You really do need the training and to make a long term commitment to learning the product.

This is something I totally agree with.

I was reading JB's and other talking about getting 100 Mb/s + for around $30-40/month. Others are talking about getting 1 Gb/s for $70/m.

Here in Nebraska in Cox land, 150/20 Mb/s cost $80/m for residential.
100/20 for business costs $350/m

Here in the town I'm in there is only Windstream. 15 Mb/s for $60 a month, ridiculous. Basically government blessed robbery.
The town over I had TruVista and they charged $10/month for the Wi-Fi feature on their modem/router/AP combos. We obviously opted out, but they still charged us $5/month for the modem rental along with $90/month with the fees for 50 Mb/s. These companies make they're money back on the hardware "rental" fees alone.

Windstream is a great example of a company who constantly buys up competitors, even larger ones like Nuvox. In a grander scheme they were acquired by Mcleoud or Paetec, cant remember anymore.

They aren't good about restructuring their networks afterwards like cable operators are. They just keep everything in place.

Paetec. Paetec changed their name to Windstream to hide because they had built such a bad reputation and burned their own brand to the ground.

I think PAETEC bought McLeod and Allworx then Windstream bought PAETEC.

That's what Paetec wanted people to think. Paetec was the buyer, though. That's why it was a big deal that they took on the name of the company that they bought, rather than keeping the name of the parent.

This happens often enough. Avago did this with Broadcom. There were rumors we were going to do a reverse acquisition of our old parent company a while back.

@jaredbusch said in IT Support: $ fee's charged:

Is there a minimum time increment that is billed?

15 minutes.

I'm assuming this is remote work. We were always 1 hour minimum for onsite, 15 minutes for a remote.

This was on a MD1000, very old.

MD1000...old school! I know those units. I've got 2 of them in storage gathering dust!

I have 2x LSI 620J. I might just connect it with LSI 9207E HBA

If you don't mind the 3 gbps bus, the MD1000s are amazing.

Old review but...

I can't comment on that yet. I've only had it for a day. But I have unlimited bandwidth and it's not a reseller account. So far no down time that I noticed.

I've contacted support a few times already, though, with getting my ISO uploaded. Support seemed very helpful and responsive in my experience. This was after I paid.

Until they pay me to be on call I only carry my phone. I do try and avoid planning weekend adventures far from cell service but they do happen.

Pretty much I came back and checked my data from my iphone (which was cool). Wish they had an actual ios app.

It's still an expense for us. The only sticking point is the AD Connect which of course is awesome.

Thanks. My Bad. Eyes must have been goofy... 🙂
