And then they make whatever need that is sound general and ubiquitous. Same trick, but way more powerful, than what FreeNAS does. FreeNAS says "to get X you need to do Y" but don't mention that X isn't something you want, they present it as a foregone conclusion and people just get suckered right into that. At least FreeNAS never pretends to be neutral or giving advice. People just convince themselves of that.

@scottalanmiller it will be good , but this integration means that NextCloud can send mails from zimbra smtp connector ?

It can already do that. Currently Zimbra integrates into NextCloud. But in Zimbra 8.8 which releases soon, NextCloud integrates into Zimbra.

So we can integrate with the Zimbra LDAP with NextCloud
Right ?

Yes. Zimbra uses OpenLDAP I believe. Or they can both talk to Active Directory.

Nice , this will make the login to the NextCloud as " [email protected] " and the same password of his mail account

Correct, that should work fine. I've not tried it, but no reason it should not work.

I will try with OpenLDAP " Mainly FreeIPA " then try with Zimbra

The find command is all you need on Linux.

Systemd's systemd-tmpfiles-clean service is a good utility too.

@matteo-nunziati said in Sizing the SOHO, SMB, SME, Enterprise and Other Markets:

SME: 2,000 - 5,000 people. True business with stable finances and acts like a true business, just one that is very small.

over 250, management starts apperaing but not so much levels.

Medium: 5000 - 10,000 people. No longer small in any way, not a sizeable company needing serious services. Large: 10000 - 20,000 people. A serious company but not large enough to through its weight around based on a famous name. Enterprise: 20,000+ people. Those on the Fortune 1000 list or just missing it. Big, well known companies with tons of resources where they are big enough to have entire IT stacks internally, you don't need to hop between companies to move up the ladder, there is total efficiency of scale opportunity, etc.

this is far from my perception.

IBM considers SMB to be 500 - 10,000 or something like that. Under 500 they don't even consider to be a "business".

Is IBM a good bench mark?

No, horrible. but it's important to understand that big portions of the industry think that we see things in the opposite skew than we tend to think that we are doing.

My limits are extracted from italian accounting and fiscal law. They fit quite well with behaviur change in organizations here.

@NDC said in Visio 2016 Installation Error:

Microsoft still recommends 32bit for cross app and plugin compatibility reasons. I'm not sure I've encountered a situation where that actually ended up being important though. At least not in the last few years.

@scottalanmiller said in Visio 2016 Installation Error:

Is that really true today? What's the advantage to the lower version?

Compatibility with other applications.

Is that true across the board? Everything I run tends to be 64bit. I've not run 32bit Office in a long time, what would it be incompatible with?

Probably goofy internally built nonsense, addons from small developers who don't update often or at all etc. Nothing I've run into has been a problem though. At least not since the 2010 days. Maybe not even then.

My recommendation is to avoid that crap 🙂 Run 64bit Office and weed out the garbage you shouldn't have installed!

That's just weird.

How so? Each DID is independent of the B channel, so I can have a multitude of DIDs and only a few B channels if so desired.

Except it's a weird pairing. If you wanted flexibility to sell one at a time. Not "almost every channel."

But it is a did not a number assigned to a channel.

I'd get in there and talk Office 365. Work up some example prices and lay out some risks.

I would guess that for the price of SalesForce that you have support. I would call them.

@Dashrender said in XOA Pricing Model - What might it look like from a US perspective:

the main thing I can think of - is general desktop support - but really, if it's more than a 10 min fix (which I would think would be IT stuff - assuming not hardware), then you should probably be wiping and reloading, right?

Depends on what you are fixing, but generally, yes. But even this, you don't want a generalist for that. You want a desktop support specialist. The only role you want a generalist in, ever, is department oversight.

That is an excellent book. That's how I got started with PS about a year ago.

Second link. The Month of PowerShell lunches. That's pretty good.

How long of a lunch do you get?

However long I need, lol. Usually ~45 mins or an hour.

Yeah, that was kind of a joke, referring to the title of the book.

Did @scottalanmiller make a guide on how to setup ELK and getting logging started?

I did. It's on here somewhere 🙂

I prefer Graylog in most cases, though. It's come a long way.

For a 500gb disk, is there any reason to not accept this setup?
Should /home be on a separate VG?

What if we add another 1TB disk, that should be on a separate VG?

If you do keep the default partition and want to use KVM, you will have to store the virtual disks in /home. Or during install, you remove /home and give the rest back to /.

Why? On my desktop I keep my vdisk on a separate drive mounted as /kvm_store.

It makes sense to resize or choose a larger partition when you don't have another drive available.

The whole point of LVM is to make everything easy to change latter should you need to.

Flat out saying it "cost to much to take your money" is literally turning customers away.

It is, but it is also turning away small customers that might not be profitable and what they have to consider is the risk that this poses to bigger customers. I don't agree with the approach, but they have sound logic for why they do what they do. All customers are not good customers.

If I remember the conversation correctly (we went through all of this with @olivier on a ML thread) that was the crux of it, that it cost too much to support the smaller clients, since they don't have that many people.

Combined with the risk of losing the big clients that they currently have.

Dolphin does not see it.

Nemo sees it,.. 100GB device.

@Dashrender yea mine is version 5 something (its about as old as @scottalanmiller is)

I should add that this is not exactly true. "Windows Dedupe" is not available in Hyper-V, which might sound obvious, as it is a Windows feature. But Hyper-V does have ReFS which has a new feature in 2016 that is not called dedupe but acts like a really light dedupe option. So while "Windows Dedupe" is not available, there is a dedupe technology available to use. But it's not a great one, it's super basic. But it also has like zero overhead, so can be pretty nice to use even if it doesn't do a lot.
