However, @PSX_Defector is nice enough to know there IS indeed a way and he's going to help me tonight. Sounds like a Tier 1 support response. I would have asked to speak to a higher level tech that knows what bridge mode means. Yeah, Verizon isn't very technical. Don't tell @PSX_Defector that. I'm pretty sure that he knows Yes, yes. He says so all the time. It was a joke...lol

  I'm with Katie on this. How exactly are these addresses/mailboxes being used? Or, more to the point how do you WANT them to be used?

  Might have been the gitlab package hacked but extremely unlikely. Almost certainly an external hack of some sort.

  Meraki is free and because it installs onto the Windows boxes (and Macs) it doesn't do the network scan. So it is massively easier to manage, more reliable and more secure because you can leave your ports closed.

  @alexntg @alexntg said: Which machine are you seeing this on? The Mail server What kind of storage/RAID type is that VMDK on? Storage Blade RAID 5 -- NOT FOR LONG!!! If you have a bad disk, one of the last things you ever want to do with it is defrag it. You risk causing further damage. Righto Not sure. "It depends." If you're keeping it on the same disk, you're repairing a database on a bad disk. If you drop the database, move it to a new disk, then try to bring it up, if you do need to repair it, you'd be repairing it on a new disk. Righto, so, you suggest: dismount --> move to new disk --> Repairs? --> Mount Can you set up a new disk with a new database and move the mailboxes over to it? That might be your safest bet, though it is possible the IS would crash when you hit the corrupted part of the disk. Hmmmm, I'll have to think about this. As a side note, check for any residual snapshots and that the Veeam proxy doesn't have any extra mounted disks. It shouldn't have anything to do with the issue, but it doesn't hurt to check. I checked the Datastore and found many $-ctk.vmdk files. Research indicates that theses are for Change Block Tracking (from when I attempted to get Veeam to backup the server). Can I safely delete these? or is there something to turn off first? (veeam is not currently backing up this server. Speaking of, In the above image, the first virtual HDD isn't listing its provisioned size. Does that seem a little off to you?

  @Dashrender said: Nevermind solved that problem I logged into my O365 in Word - now I see my SharePoint site, and my business OneDrive... and there is the personal one drive, but it wants me to log into that (seems odd). Is there a way to get OneDrive for Business into Windows Explorer like there is for OneDrive for home users? I had to do a bizarre dance to get ODfB to show up. Been rock solid since.

  @Aaron-Studer said: @scottalanmiller said: @Aaron-Studer said: Should I learn Chef or Puppet? Good question. The answer is squarely... It depends. Do you want hosted or on premise? On Prem How many machines do you want to support? 25ish Do you need a graphical interface? Yes. What platforms do you want to support? Windows, and Linux. Then Puppet as Chef doesn't do graphical.

  @Aaron-Studer said: I just installed this on my CentOS server. I like the look of it. I will be comparing it to webmin. And compare to Chef / Puppet. This is the polar opposite approach. Decentralized "snowflake" management versus centralized automation management.

  @ajstringham said: I'm creating the VMDK now. My only concern is that, all my research suggests Ubuntu is the best distro to run a LAMP server on. I'm also much more familiar with Debian systems over RPM... RHEL has always been the LAMP leader. No upside to Ubuntu for LAMP. That's not where Ubuntu is strong. Ubuntu is better for alternative, non-LAMP, application stacks like RoR and Node.js where RHEL's conservative approach is a major problem. Other than needing the EPEL enabled, RHEL is as straightforward as you really get for LAMP. Ubuntu has only squeaked by as being even a reasonable choice until the latest few releases.

  @ambarishrh said: Since the requirement is to upload contents like videos, images, logo etc and manage them, I still think it comes under digital asset management and not document management. Plus as per resourcespace site, which I think best suits the requirement, also describes it.ResourceSpace open source digital asset management software is the simple, fast, & free way to organise your digital assets Sort of, but it is an extremely odd term to use for them. Digital Assets is normally use to mean computers and the like, not files and documents. In any case, it is too general to provide good results. It is purely file and document management that you seek, so no matter how correct digital assets might be it is too broad to be useful. In the way that you are using the term, we could replace the term "filesystem" with "digital asset management system" and you see how confusing that is. What do you seek that Sharepoint, Alfresco or the filesystem do not provide?

  I am in touch with http://www.accellion.com/ and checking at the Kite works enterprise. The parent company is using a product from this, but with limited storage space, but since they already use a product from accellion, I believe getting this approved would be much easier than introducing anything new. Got in touch with the local distributer and they agreed to give us a 15 days demo so we can test this in realtime. Its a software appliance which works with vmware/hyperv. Will share more details after the demo

  @Carnival-Boy said: @scottalanmiller said: No, I know of no product that has a restriction like that. No software, hardware, real estate, etc. It's a common belief that all kinds of things require one to be a business but the reality is is that such restrictions have no reason to exist and so don't. Some product somewhere is like that, but I can't think of any. I've had problems the other way round, where I've tried to buy a consumer product with a business credit card and it's been declined because the credit card is registered to a business address. 1TB of data for $30, add e-mail and a bunch of other stuff for an extra $20. Is there anything else in the market that offers anything similar? Yes. Often consumers get special pricing not available to a business. But any person can simply declare themselves a business if they want.

  @alexntg said: @Dashrender said: We actually have a policy that IT does not help people with shortcuts. If you really need a short cut it's between you and your manager, otherwise we deploy needed internet favorites via GPO, and the rest of the applications are in the start menu(start screen). That must make file server moves a breeze! Standard network drives, yes - user directories, not so much.

  @alexntg said: @scottalanmiller said: @alexntg I much prefer using stuff that is more applicable for business. Sophos pulls that "no prices" stuff. From what I can see it is about 600% the price of the Ubiquiti. The pricing for the home edition is publicly posted: http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-utm-home-edition.aspx As far as "business" pricing, most of the major equipment vendors operate that way (Cisco, Palo Alto, Sonicwall). They're all either "Contact Sales" or "Find a Reseller". It's a traditional channel business model. Would I like to see a flat price? Certainly, but it doesn't happen. It's free for software, but not the appliance. VyOS is free too.
