I don't don't doubt that and running 2 to 3 years of QuickBooks at the same time doesn't help. The Tax software in question is also a intuit product so there is another strike.

I would be perfectly ok with continuing to try and find the problem if the user was some what willing to help but all we get is push back that they don;t have time to let us resolve the problem. I seriously her husband who is in IT had her do something to the PC.

Thought they would be using something from MS, never imagined that it would be wp

Does MS have anything that compares?

@crustachio Totally agree. I also hate how slow it is. The C# client is way better.

Considering the hack Mint suffered recently - I've seen reports that indicate they aren't doing that great of a job securing their distro.

Can anyone attest to that one way or the other?

Mint hack? I've heard of a number of security problems with open source things, but completely missed the Mint one. Got any handy reference?

It wasn't an OS issue. It was just a download issue.

The obscurity that you're going to is the move to Linux and the fact that the malware writers haven't bothered to write malware for Linux yet.

MAC users could say the same thing, until they couldn't. It's been several months or more now since a MAC variant of ransomware has been available.

See, you could have previously just as easily said - I want to move everyone to a MAD because there's no ransomware there, well that would have worked until it didn't... the same WILL happen to Linux.

But you can skip the entire concern of this specific avenue of problem by moving to SharePoint or ownCloud.

I'm not saying move to Linux because only Windows gets viruses. I'm saying I want to move to Linux because I hate Windows. Maybe that was too subtle...

oh, yeah it was too subtle, because hating windows has nothing to do with the security hole we were talking about.

I'm just trying to find any good excuse to switch, give me a break! If I can twist the subject into a justified transition, you bet I will. 🙂

You could have who ever is responsible for the shared calendar publish it, assuming the information can be open to the public.

There is a lot of "typically it means this" and that is somewhat useful. Switches are typically faster, have more ports, are implemented in custom hardware, etc. But typical does not a technology define. There do not appear to be any definitions that actually differentiate one from the other just this kind of "feeling" that people have.

Which is fine, it's a marketing term. Just important to know that an L2 switch is really a "multiport bridge" and an L3 switch is really a "multiport router" and anything beyond that is really just "generally acceptable generalities around marketing and intended use cases."

There VMs but no aside from the local account the install creates which was deleted and my domain account. It's work with all my other windows 10 Gold Masters.

Any alternative to Netwrix? Their pricing is a bit too high for us.

Do you need anything other than the free one?

It is just a notifier right? The Auditor is a paid application. Do they do the same thing?

Good point. I honestly dont' know as I have never used either. I am familiar with Netwrix for a couple of their other free tools.

I'd imagine the Notifier would have some kind of logs in it. I just saw the email this morning and thought of you. 🙂

awww how nice of you 🙂

I try. 🙂

And everyone should be on the domain... EVERYONE especially the chairman... 😛

I don't know about everyone.. There's some laptops we have for maintenance that aren't on the domain, blocked from the network and have local admin rights so they can work on random crap.

As a general rule, unless there is a specific reason for them not to be, they should... obviously there are exceptions, there are to anything...but for least confusion, lets leave it at that for now 😉

Almost any NAS can do iSCSI a SAN is simplier than a NAS..

Exactly, but a few scale outs don't because of the scale out aspect.

Wait when did they become $90? I paid $69.99

I'm quoting the price straight from their site, not Amazon... so it may still be a good deal on Amazon too.

I did however, install the 2.0 beta on an old Laptop this morning... Sadly, right now, it appears you have to have Windows installed in order to get the Beta to install to HD.

But my laptop booted it up just fine. It doesn't come with Google Play in the PC version, but I found an installer for it... going to try it tonight.

Yeah I've done it before. It just resorts your default policy. It doesn't affect your other gpos

We need some latency numbers from around the world. Anyone want to collect some for us?

Here is the first IP address. A long running ping (hundreds or thousands of pings) would be good, we need the final stats from that:

104.236.119.59 108.61.151.173 172.99.75.133

We have a good idea on bandwidth, IO, CPU and memory. Network latency is pretty huge.

Neater than Elastix for it? That's been around for a bit.

Do you prefer Elastix over FreePBX? If so, why?

Well FreePBX does not appear to be available on RP, right? So it is a moot point.

Nerd Vittles put their distro on RP long time ago and that uses the FreePBX GUI.

I assume lots of people have. But FreePBX themselves have not yet, that I've seen.

What do you actually need?

The point of the linked call button above is that it plays a prerecorded message.

What is your goal for said button?

You can do damned near anything you want with an API call back to Asterisk. So you can really get any type of thing you want that generates a call to a URL when pressed.

Like hakcing an Amazon Tide button

It only auto accepts the first event for that time slot (until the meeting is over) and then declines the rest.

I am currently working on the storage planning for Veeam and found this site http://rps.dewin.me/

exactly what I needed, thanks. Weird that a completed mailbox is in there... Oh well, I'll figure that out later.

I've had a low success rate with startech devices. They are cheap and when they work they work ok... but most of the time they don't. Even if one had been working fine come in the next day and it doesn't work at all.

Exactly my experience, but I will add that the more complicated the product is the lower it's chances of working properly. It's a sliding scale from "meh, yeah, ok" to "possessed by demons" to "complete and utter failure to chooch"

At a former job we bought a serial to USB from them for a PLC once... never again. It did funky things and inserted random characters into programs. We returned it for a replacement... the second one didn't work at all.

Oh sweet jesus those are the exception. NEVER buy one unless it's straight from these guys. Trust me, I spent years doing electronics engineering programming chips and bit banging

http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/Cables/USBTTLSerial.htm

Yea,.. there is a lot of fakers that just won't work on those FTI drivers... ugh.

The driver has a verification software in the download you can check the chip with though.. in Windows 7 the fake ones would still work I believe.

Until FTDI decide to block them again heheh
