@LAH3385 Yeah, I am going to allow them very limited access to the domain. Probably won't give domain admin. Just allow him local admin under a secondary account to desktops/laptops. I am also going to have to figure out access to AD for things like creating users and password resets etc.

Sure, but it's not going to be cheap!

The first one I found is $700. But that's a super high end board with dual 10GigE built in and able to handle 128GB of RAM from 2014. If you are doing high end video processing, a few hundred extra for your Mobo is going to be expected anyway. This would not add that much onto the overall system cost. Often people are dropping $3K on these machines already.

LOL - like I said - NOT Cheap!

Then how much is a switch, assuming you need one? The chassis will be rather expensive as well for those drives.

You could just directly plug in without a switch if needed.

Considering you'll need a dongle for the 10GBe and the mac's don't use a proper dock.... I don't see the down side to that. If anything it's smarter, fewer devices to die in the chain.

Yeah this is the closest thing to a dock http://www.landingzone.net/products/macbook-docks/

Dude I had no idea those were a thing... You just earned me serious brownie points with my Mac loving boss.

Your boss can buy me one as a gift 🙂 I still don't have one.

All I need is an idea of what is happening. If I could show prints/copiers as two separate things that would be 100% everything I need. Is that possible as far as anyone knows?

Ah, sorry, I'm not sure. I know Print Audit can do this with the Copy Audit add-on, but I'm assuming you would like to keep this free, so that's probably not what you need.

I found a log for Total and it's also broken down daily and monthly as well. This is great. Thanks!

Prediction: 2017/18 will bring an Intel chip with 64+ lanes and this will not be an issue.

I think so too.

I think Thunderbolt will be the best physical interface rather than the current PCIE form factors too. Mainly it allows the flexiablity like SATA with greater throughput. It would allow you to use cables (internal or external) and could plug into a blackplane once the layout of the drives are standarized. And could even allow dasiy chaining.

eyeroll

Go design a kick ass widget and put a thunderbolt connector on it, then see what it costs to license.

Hopefuly Intel will ditch the licesning costs at some point.. No other interface is doing that. They are just killing it doing that.

No way, Intel doesn't work that way.

would that I had more than one upvote to give

Anyone else remember rambus memory? I still shudder at the thought.

OMG that stuff was ridiculous. I had one machine with that.

We use a product name PrintBoss. It allows you to print onto blank check stock.

Thanks!

That is going into my list of programs to take a look at.

@BBigford

Why not just setup a Rocket Chat VM and test it out between the IT department. It doesn't take that long to get setup.

Especially as I have it all scripted 🙂

I know I'm dragging a topic up from the past, but here is a topic where a business has made a purchase with the goal of Shoe horning 16tb (4x4TB) HDD's into ProLiant MicroServer G7 Server.

Wasted money, with clearly no concept of what is an appropriate way of setting something like this up.

@Dashrender Rebuilding.

Something went totally sideways on it. Good thing it was a test system and not my production unit.

Scott, you mentioned that this is all at the kernel level - could you roll your own version of this?

Sure, you'd have to write your own storage layer, though. So it's not trivial in any way.

OH.. that's where I was confused I guess... I thought the storage layer was part of KVM (that's the hypervisor they use, right?)

Not part of KVM itself. The Scale HC3 is unique, there is no software version available on the market.

So they wrote the storage layer? Cool - good to know/understand that.

Yes, Scale is primarily a storage vendor. Before they made their Hyperconverged product, they made scale out storage only. That was before KVM was mature enough to make the HC3 product. They no longer sell the storage layer, it is now developed purely and designed solely around the needs of the HC3 product so is completely unique to that. It's the storage layer and the storage integration (and support) that are their selling points. That's what makes them special and unique. KVM and the hardware on its own you could do yourself and you could easily make due with a different interface.

I did an "In My Area" search and all that came up where Time Warner at no more than 5Mb/s and FiOS DLS at less than 1Mb/s. 😞

Utica and Rome I know have Verizon DSL and TWC but I don't think they have FiOS. It's a poorer demographic, sadly...

It's sad because other than that one issue, Utica has some amazing downtown office space.

I know you found your solution, but just wanted to say I have not experienced any default apps resetting.

I'm slowly going insane...

It hit me pretty much all at once in February 1999.

All at once? Eesh, I'm sorry. What happened? Just a spring that needed to decompress all at once?

That's when I joined NTG.

After upload a picture to GRavartar... how long before it take effect on ML?

if the email matches and the pic is set to G on Gravatar, normally under 20 minutes, sometimes almost instantly.

No issues in almost a week. I will probably drop the heap size back to 1g and see if it remains stable.

Not sure if being helpful for future people or didn't read OP...
😛
Yes, that's what I eventually found.

How did this project go?

That would be awesome. Cygwin is such a kludgy arse pain.

Thank you all for the valuable details, was never considered before, i will work on the backup concept including replication to another site, Kind regards.
