@DustinB3403 add some tags so we can find this post easier. 🙂

Done and sorry ML, the tags field is so obscure (that I always overlook it)

agreed. It would be nice if it was a required field.

I remember there was a previous thread about a USB stick, but that involved physically removing the stick & making a copy.
Whatever happened to having a "live" 2nd copy?

You can still make a copy of a SATA DOM to a USB stick.

Can you automate this ?

Not realistically, no.

SuperMicro recommends against RAID on the SuperDOM / SATA DOM modules but fails to explain why:

Nope. I didn't know it before, and after going through the Vault product.

As I am seeing product is mainly meant for how to manage cad files efficiently from drafting to final design etc. but not for my requirements (proper control over permissions on files/folders).

Second thing is, we do not have only cad files, but also other type of files involved in each project and in each departments like MS applications, PDFs, CAD, 3Ds max etc.

So, basically, the current workflow doesn't work, and they don't want you to change said workflow.

Yup.
That's why I am trying to find any way to do it with third party software/tool to manage permissions instead of thinking about work flow/ changing work flow.

This is sign of a bad company. Specifically, bad management.

WSUS still controls updates to Windows 10 1607 installs.

@JaredBusch the "#" is not regarding to the DID Section i just wrote it here as a comment ,
and also the "_" sign matches all numbers except the endings "200" to "299"
so it works for me fine. 🙂
i tried writing _23542200 many times but was not working.
i think the issue is depending on the settings of the Telecom Provider of the PRI so it may be different to another one.

I agree - go though Amazon... While not the same vendor, I had issue with a purchase, and got pretty quick response from them... This was the HP Inkjet debacle.

Ideally we just want tools to fix it, not to return it, though. Not sure how much Amazon will help outside of a full return.

The contact via Amazon put me in direct contact with DROK and iKONG; so I would expect - not assume - They would be the same.

Oh okay, that might work.

Wow, that IS a scary one.

Pidgin is certainly good, won't go wrong there.

@stacksofplates i will try it and tell you the result 🙂

Heck, considering that - I have what I consider a better situation, though I'm sure others will disagree with me.

Since you're making some pretty big changes, now might be a good time to rebuild all of these computers. If you you can move them all to the same OS.
Not sure you're aware, but all of the machines you listed (7/8/8.1/10) qualify to be on Windows 10. Any reason they weren't upgraded during the free upgrade window?

Personally, I'd take an image of each system using Clonezilla, and upgrade them to Windows 10. Assuming the machines are granted a free upgrade to Windows 10, then I would purchase one Windows 10 Open License granting you imaging rights, purchase the needed upgrades for your home licensed computers bringing them legally to Windows 10 Pro, then create and deploy a Windows 10 image.

I skipped a lot of steps here, ask if you want, need more details.

Why I didn't upgraded all to Windows 10 ?

Yes, we upgraded so many computers to Wins 10. But mostly preferred to upgrade Windows 8/8.1. Not upgraded for all, because it was still 1 year old, cannot say how stable it is and don't want to do at that much quantity (100pcs). And some users are happy with Windows 7, better to not touch them if they are going fine.

That's a very bad was to think about software. Windows 10 is not "one year old", it is the update to Windows 8.1 which is the update to Windows 8 which is the update to Windows 7 which was the update to Windows Vista. Windows 10 is the most mature of that family. Windows 7 is the "one year old" release (but patched since then.) Windows 10 is the one with the most time of people testing the code because it is a decade old. You are actually doing the opposite of what you are thinking... you are staying on young "immature" code and avoiding the most stable, most tested code. And you are not trusting a vendor on whom you have decided to depend. That's a bad combination.

http://www.smbitjournal.com/2014/04/software-versions/

I see, so I was wrong at this point 😞

That's benefit of being active in community , learning things 🙂

Anyway, still I have chances I think, I seen somewhere to upgrade still to Windows 10 for free and second option is, we need to get Pro versions for some Home Editions, so I will get Windows 10 Pro.

You can do it. But I do not know the legality of it.

I will check. Thanks.

@Tim_G I can't recommend that enough... I'll probably never outgrow it (until software specs require more than it has at least).

@scottalanmiller fwconsole starts asterisk, and it makes sure it's started and running with the correct UID

Or it should. It did last time I checked 😎

Edit: Saying that, I believe I was the last one that messed with that code, so if it's NOT working, it's probably my fault.

I think now is the time to invest in true open source alternative to Asterisk engine

How is the Asterisk engine not open source? It's released under the GPL meaning you can do whatever you want with the code base. FreePBX remains one of the, if not the, very best implementations of an Asterisk distribution that is also 100% open source. I'm just not sure where you're going with the last few threads about this.

Asterisk and FreePBX are open source, but Schmooze made changes regarding things such as third party module signing and requirements related to commercial modules that soured the mood with some in the FOSS telephony community.

The referenced article is old. As of this year you can sign your own modules without asking for anything from Sangoma. We've even written unit tests around this functionality so it can never break. We do listen to the community and have made changes over the last two years to how GPG functions. One of the biggest things we did was allowing users to sign any module locally without having to sign a CLA or a CSA with Sangoma, putting the power of open source (with GPG benefits) back into the hands of users.

I do realize that it is an old article. But it is a fact that changes were made that upset the FOSS community. Personally, I could care less, I just want a solid working product.

@tm1000 said in FreePBX 13 No Conference Room App:

This was happening because for some reason the conbridge.conf file (or an include therein) was not being created correctly and thus because conf files were missing confbridge was never loaded. I believe this was because conferences was not originally included in the tarball for 13 but we fixed this so it should be OK???? Not sure...

It was fixed this week? It was just six days ago that we saw it, but it's not been re-run since then.

@tm1000 said in Sangoma Linux?:

@scottalanmiller We are starting to use it to build more robust Daemons. Hey, it's better than trying to do it in PHP!!

Yeah it is, lol. Glad to see the move in that direction. Not that using PHP was any kind of a big deal to end users, but it's a nice change of pace. I'm hoping for a faster, more responsive interface then as well 😉
