One could argue, I suppose, that in a non-AD environment that that might be true. Can still be done, but isn't quite so obviously easy and transparent. But that would just be people being lazy.

Except this was a discussion about workstations in an AD (SBS2008) environment

@scottalanmiller said:

And why does one need DNS references to workstations in those cases anyway?

No idea.

They do not come even close to the quality of a Mac in feeling. I have 2 separate Chromebooks here and a Mac not even close. The Chromebooks are great for what they are great for. But don't drop it. Now my Mac I have dropped about 5 times. It has scratches but it's fine.

It would be interesting to see a review where someone does exactly that, drops a chromebook vs a macbook in as similar falls as possible and see which one fails first.

Of course, if you don't do it over 1000 or more samples I guess it's not really a great test, but it would be something.

I mention this because the 'feel' can be meaningless to actual toughness. I've had cheap plasticy phones that wound up being much stronger than other better feeling devices.

I changed the default for mail, checking the MAILTO option as well changing it to MS-MAIL (this picture is from my work PC - do not an exact match).

This did not solve my issue.

I booted into safe mode with networking (damn that's a pain in Windows 😎 and left it that way all night. This morning there were no prompts to pick an Outlook profile.

I'll boot back to normal mode tonight and see if the prompts return.

I looked through the task scheduler and didn't see anything that appeared to either launch Outlook or use the MAILTO option.

Thanks to ITcrackerjack its looking much better now. brodystackle.com

Can't you still install CPanel yourself?

Why? What is the benefit / point?

Ease of use and documentation galore

@Dashrender said:

I'm a bit lost.

You have two NASs at home mounted to a Linux box, that you are then sharing to CIFS so you can mount them on a Windows box?

Is the Windows box not on the local LAN? If not I guess that's why you have Pertino as part of this, because you are Pertino'ing from a non local Windows box to the Linux box which is offering a pass-through to the NASs?

If your Windows box is local to NASs, why bother going through the Linux box?

The Windows box and the Linux box are both on the same LAN as the NASes. This is more so I can access the NASes easily remotely on my Pertino network.

i setup plex on my win7 pc without any issues. Port forwarding for outside access is setup as well. It took me all of 30 minutes to install and configure so i could watch on any device inside my network. I'm not sure what issues you had however.

In all fairness, it may have been the VM I was using. I just rebuilt a new version of it, as it had originally come from my first and only ever P2V. It never seemed stable, but the new VM is much more so.

@nadnerB Did you reapply thermal paste after you knocked the CPU cooler?

Not yet, I don't have any on hand.

You can pick this up at most retailers. Even Staples sells this! Works great!

Not here, you go to a computer shop (that sells parts) for this stuff.

We got retweeted by Storage Switzerland too!!

Well I've reinstall the same version of PCOP - it's slow as hell, but it's working. Thought on occasion I'm now getting service is unavailable.

@scottalanmiller said:

Same issue still?

The logging doesn't appear to be working at all right now, which is weird.

If it's a UEFI-enabled BIOS and it was in UEFI mode, it wouldn't see an older version of DBAN. That was probably your issue.

Yup, that is a nice little unit. I think that that is one generation old (and therefore one generation newer than mine) hence the good price. Should run the latest Raidiator OS (6.x).

I did not even see the post somehow. I can try and look at it later.

I found a thread on the Ubuntu forums here: ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1845962

It pointed me to a conf file located here: /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf

I used vi to uncomment this line:

cron.* /var/log/cron.log

Now I should get cron logs. I'll check the other place too. Thanks!

I've done this too for a small office, MS doesn't delete date for at least 60 days if not longer, and you receive a ton of emails before they do it too.

But am I correct about users getting kicked out of MS Office once the subscription expires? Or do they wait a day or two after the subscription expires?

oh, I'm the expiration and renewal happened very quickly for me, so no one saw anything - I can't say what you're users will see. Maybe Greg will know.

Though knowing MS, I'd be surprised if it was a hard cut date - I would expect MS to give a several day grace period incase IT forgets to renew, etc.

That's quite a useful feature.

There always seems to be someone trying to put ubuntu on different things

@IRJ Sorry, I've been disconnected with a new addition to the family. Have you emailed [email protected]? I've also never gone through the install with a Linux GUI...

Congratulations!

I saw the talk of "filesystems" as "backup." Getting to CentOS 7 would be good, although CentOS 6 would be good enough. The talk of backups makes no sense.
