I mean yeah, VyOS is a great firewall/router, but the implication of that statement is for IDS/Content Filtering.

VyOS uses Squid if you want it, same as pfSense, Smoothwall, Untangle, etc. So content filtering you can do just the same. Most people using VyOS don't use it for the same reasons that you and I do not put that on our routers, but if the goal is to do that, it enables it the same as those other products but with an opportunity to learn it rather than have it just magically appear.

Did not realize that they had squid baked in. Iassumed it had tobe added.

Baked in, but off by default. So we all ignore it 🙂

@wirestyle22 said in Installing Office Online without personal account info:

Attempting to install Office 2013 using www.office.com/setup but that requires you to have the microsoft account info of the user. Is there a way for me to install this without account info and plug that in later?

This is a keycard setup then? Yes you have to enter info to do the setup.

Here's the one I've been using (before I found out about ShareX today - I'm gonna check that one out as soon as I have time)

Execute the powershell script to disable VMQ at system boot?

wtf, you don't beat problems over the head with a sledge.

Depends on the size of the problem.

Sasquatch?

Need something bigger than a sledgehammer.

So you are only looking to sync AD? Or something else? I don't think that you need a clean slate, normal sync (not full integration) definitely does not require bidirectional clean slates.

@tyh said in Port - Backing Up Windows Server 2012 Essentials for Reinstallation:

Thanks, guys. If I'm unable to get XAPI up and running I may look at involving HA-Lizard support. I'm taking things cautiously at the moment as my VMs are still operational, so I've got a bit of time to find the best approach.

Might make sense if this is actively in production and XAPI just won't come back.

Yeah, really strange behavior with no evidence to look at.

Time to set logs to go to a remote server.

They've had a rough week.

@dafyre said in Group Level Permissions:

@Dashrender That looks to be easier by far than setting up RBAC or mucking around with ACLs on a per-file basis.

Yeah, the OP can thank @stacksofplates for the suggestion.

Be careful with them online if you let them play online. There are a lot of crazy older Minecraft people out there who love ruining younger people's stuff.

On XBOX at least.

@IRJ said in Need someone with a Blackberry OS 10 device to let me know if a website looks decent or not:

I am assuming the only reason you would buy a BB is for integration with BES, but since they are now running android is there any difference between a BB and another android device when it comes to MDM?

Doubt it. It's probably just branding.

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.

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
