I really like my HP ENVYY 32", but even at 32" I wanted something lower resolution than most people at 2550x1440. 4k would be great, on a display big enough for me to actually see the difference.

@Dashrender said in get Windows 10 product key from BIOS?:

Actually I've seen UEFI Windows 7 Keys. It was only in the last year or so before Windows 8 came out. It was well after SP1 for Windows 7 was released.

I guess that's fair. I've seen ones that you can flash the BIOS to upgrade it to UEFI but I never saw a Windows 7 computer come with 7 and a UEFI BIOS.

Plenty of machines shipped with BIOS keys and windows 7, because they were windows 8 keys baked in, that the vendors shipped to you with Windows 7.

Yeah, I've seen that too. Especially around the time when 8 was first released, yes, I saw this a lot. So that's fair.

I have not needed to use the iDRAC console in a couple of years now, and I had not realized that I still had to have f'n java installed in order to use it. WTF....

Pretty much the same for every kind of remote console, be it on an IBM, Dell or SuperMicro server or on an Aten IP KVM. PITA, big, nasty PITA.

How many of us have a VM on our workstation just for this? I know I do, and it's hard to get much smaller than we are and still need any IT.

Yup, using a VM for this. Yet another system to maintain.

I have a machine or VM (depending on client) running Veeam already so I drop java on that via chocolatey.

@Jimmy9008 For the pull out 1U KMM/KVM - make sure you have lots of room behind you / in the isle to pull it out. We have one and it always hits me square in the nuts when I pull it out.

😆 😆 😆
Oh wait, I mean... that sucks..........

It's no joke man, I need to reshuffle the rack so it's higher.

This is what happens when you work with all women lol no respect for common decency 😉 😛 😄

(yes, that was a joke, the two ladies I work with really are truly awesome!)

Are you positive that situation wasn't pre-meditated by one of them?

lol - they are both less vertically gifted than myself, so the answer is actually yes

Here We can do it per Extension :

and

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+GotoIfTime

Yes, but that is getting way beyond Elastix and into raw Asterisk programming.

What was said above was reference of how to handle it inside the GUI itself.

Both methods work, but dropping to manual editing of configuration files should normally be avoided whenever possible as that makes it harder to use the built in tools for backup and recovery.

Also, upgrades will often over write manual changes like this, meaning you have to remember and reply them after updates/upgrades.

If that doesn't work, you might also need to do:
Set-MailboxFolderPermission -Identity "conf-room:\non_ipm_subtree\freebusy data" -User default -AccessRights reviewer

This is a really cool course, unfortunately I can't share too much about it or it would ruin the integrity of the course for anyone who is striving for this certification.

Basically, you get a few attacker machines (Windows and of course Kali) that are used to perform the attacks. The network is segmented and secure like a business network would be. There is a firewall, IDS, A/V, and other challenges that are meant to trip you up.

@sn said in Virtual Data Room recommendations:

@scottalanmiller Technically "virtual data room" is similar to file server and primarily accessed over a browser session. In addition to the standard file server features, it may also include features like-

Bulk watermarking of documents "View only" mode for documents Real time activity logs Remote document shredding Fenced view to protect documents from someone taking a photo of the monitor with document open Q & A section and live discussions etc.

From a usage perspective, our "virtual data room" is shared between a bunch of firms (like insurers, lawyers, auditors, investors, engineering and construction companies etc) with different access levels who are working towards the completion of a specific project which may take 2-5 years to complete (please note, we are into wind/solar farm development). So I surely do not want all these guys on my file server doing crazy things like creating users and modifying originals.

At the moment, I am thinking of evaluating https://www.idealsvdr.com/virtual-data-room-features/ to see if they are worth switching from my current provider.

Interesting. Seems like a mistake in terms. Why does being available over "web" make it "virtual". Seems like a marketing term. I don't see anyone but Citrix using it, and Citrix has a trend of totally making up and misusing terms. Citrix' use of "virtual" is the industry standard for "wrong". I have a feeling that this isn't a legitimate term. Looking at the wikipedia entry for it, it looks very suspect. And the definition doesn't feel right - a specific access technology for something so general wouldn't be appropriate. And the lack of other products or vendors using the term for something so common and normal is suspicious. For example, Sharepoint and Alfresco have been doing this for forever, but never use the term.

The Synology box just arrived and now on my table and RAID 7 is a bit too little too late.

@JaredBusch What about the cookieDomain portion?

What would you call Xbox One system, a hypervisor or OS?
http://wccftech.com/xbox-one-architecture-explained-runs-windows-8-virtually-indistinguishable/

If the article is accurate it would have to be a hypervisor. With a dom0 running an anorexic windows 8.

Sounds like they use the term RTOS as a code for hypervisor. They say it is an RTOS but then point out that it is not an OS (in that it doesn't run apps) and that it is a hypervisor (in that it hosts Windows 8.) So either their name is wrong, or their description is.

Ok, I didnt read the article, I commented based on things i heard from Paul Thurrott.

So I'll admit my understanding might have been wrong.

As a side note, Xbox one has been upgraded to Windows 10 now....

It's weird that the article claims it's a partition not a VM....

Partition and VM are not competing concepts. Lots of VMs are partitions. One thing (VM vs physical) is about how it runs. Partition vs. something else is just where it is stored. Nothing in saying it is a partition suggests that it is not a VM.

Now we only have the article to go on, but the article seems pretty clear that it is a VM. But what it really is, no idea.

For those looking through the logs, this is the key entry to notice:

error: Error creating index Index with name: _key_1_value_-1 already exists with different options

@BRRABill said in How to Require TLS for Outbound SMTP Connections with MDaemon:

I think what he meant was encrypted from the e-mail client (Outlook, Webmail) to the MD server.

That's confusing because it isn't email at that point but is just an internal application API. If it is Outlook, for example, it talks directly with Exchange as a client manipulating stuff on Exchange. If it is OWA, it's Exchange that you are looking at directly (the "email" is still on Exchange.)

@Danp said in Alternatives to Untangle:

What to do with the Dell SC440 server that is currently being used? Scrap it?

Definitely scrap it.

By default, traffic will pass between VLANs 1 & 2, unless you go into the firewall & add rules to deny traffic

Spelled wrong.

@JaredBusch there is another project that took the PocketMine code and tried to run with it that I am looking at. Haven't had much time to dig into it today yet, though.

It was amazing that Scott found it so fast. I was on the Windows side of things. Inside Windows they were using the iSCSI initiator to connect to the FreeNAS. All the sudden Windows would just log a ton of iSCSI events and go down.

I looked up the events and most people resolved them by putting the iSCSI traffic on a separate NIC. This happened two days in a row at about the same time each day. I was looking at snapshot, backup, etc times when Scott found it in the FreeNAS logs.
