That is also my default starting recommendation.

For just under $200 you get 1 ERL + 1 UAP. Pretty much perfect for almost all SMB offices.

Drop 2 hours of labor in there and you are done with the base proposal.

Ha ha. I'm sure. It is a huge city and the center of the country, I would expect everything to be available there. I hear that the weather is awesome too.

In the US at least, Scott is correct - these places don't care about repeat sales, they only care about this one sale today. Specialty stores care about repeat business, but big box stores.. nah.. they know there are 10 more people behind you looking to buy something.

Well it isn't that they don't want repeat sales. It is that there are many factors:

Many (most) customers never evaluate the advice that they were given to see if it was good so are just taken advantage of over and over again. Switching stores would mean admitting their own mistakes of the past and most people would rather make the same mistake twice and claim it was not a mistake than to fix their behaviour and not make the mistake again. There might not be other stores available or they may have no idea where to go.

I hate Best Buy, but sometimes they are what is around. But I never ask them for advice, that would be ridiculous, obviously they have no idea about cables, audio equipment, computers, whatever. They know less than random people on the street in most cases.

Windows 8.1 to a "normal" install. I left the update for her to decide when to install, but downloaded it.

Remember that "requesting email" is a completely illogical thing to do in a court if the goal was to see what had been said. Why would any court say "Show us all of the email communications that went through Exchange but don't show us the Lync messages, documents stored in other systems, contents of attachments, etc."

Of course they don't do that. That would be incredibly silly. They request categories like "all external communications", "all internal" or whatever it is they are looking for.

Please provide a screenshot of the connector details.

And what anti-spam provider are you using? Is it on-premise or in the cloud? Is the anti-spam device setup to accept mail from your mail server even if you have the send connector configured correctly?

Opened a support case (email only) with Ubiquiti after not getting it resolved in the community.

An UNBT employee is on the thread trying to help. Just nothing has resolved the issue yet.

Disabled a controller setting that makes no difference to any of the other sites on the controller, but at least UBNT had a decent enough reason for it.

Then they told me to disable antivirus/firewall... That is just a f[moderated] insult after clearly stating both in the thread and in the original email that this controller is running multiple sites and only this one AP is having problems.

Now to make our first organization, we will make a test one to get started.

chef-server-ctl org-create SHORTNAME LONGNAME --association_user USERNAME -f filename

That's the format, here is a real command:

chef-server-ctl org-create test "Chef Testing NonProd" --association_user scott -f scott.pem

Wow, we got them a lot of views quickly on this one!

I did try the google thing - there are a number of sites with low prices and seemingly good ratings - but checking into them for legitimacy is time consuming. For instance, both those top online stores (software plaza and Tek-Micro) have several complaints about the keys not getting delivered or not actually working. I threw it up to you guys to see if any of you had a reputable channel I purchase through.

Thanks for all the replies though guys. I appreciate the advice.

Sadly I'm guessing this process will be a requirement. Assuming all other imaging rights remain unchanged (i.e. you purchase one VL Windows Pro license granting you a KMS key and VL media, you can deploy images using that KMS key and VL media), you'll need to upgrade the OEM license through the above process to be legal - otherwise, while I'm sure you could just deploy Windows 10 Pro based VL images after you've updated your KMS key on your KMS server, you probably won't be legal, because the OEM license hasn't been upgraded.

I would think that this is likely right based on how they lock the free upgrade key into the hardware ID that it generates.

As a consultant, when I am at a client site, I generally work through without eating unless it is a site I visit on a regualr basis. Then it just depends. If I am travelling, I will go out and get something. If I am local, I generally will bring something and eat it in the break/lunch room.

Well you definitely use your phone more than I do.. Selfies - yeah just kill me. I've taken I think 10 in my life.

Sure the processor is faster, but if you can't tell any difference in app performance who cares? and it's probably just eating your battery faster.

Clearly the camera is better with more options, assuming those things are important to you. I didn't use to care about it.. but after having the crappy camera in the 635, yeah, I care at least a little.. and the 640XL is much better than the 635.

Screen size is a personal thing, not really advantageous or not.

How long does your battery last?

I'm pretty sure my 640XL is the LTE, internet is pretty damned fast on it - to the point that I almost never join an open hotspot because they are WAY slower than my data plan.

i hope so, but i think the only number you can get is US or canadian phone number, and you can only call US or Canadian phone nubers

I am not surprised for the FREE trial.

Calling elsewhere would cost a fortune to the provider. Easily tens or hundreds of thousdands of dollars even for a since line.

OK so this has been bugging me for some time, and its how Xen manages orphaned vDisks.

Specifically why does it create and leave these 0 GB disks on the system with no association to a VM?

What is a desktop pool? or Horizon View?

VMWare's VDI infrastructure.

Makes sense. I'm not saying that it is a good choice, but seems worthy of inclusion in an evaluation.

I check that link you sent... is the Enterprise Postgresql free? I've never messed around with pgsql... looks like I need to pick it up!

I believe that it is. It's definitely much cheaper than Oracle with support.
