  @Skyetel said in Exploring VitalPBX: @JaredBusch said in Exploring VitalPBX: @Romo said in Exploring VitalPBX: @rcuadra Is there a time frame of when the endpoint manager will be working with PJSIP extensions? It would even be better if they quit using SIP as the default on port 5060. Asterisk gave up CHAN_SIP years ago. RIP chan_sip PJSIP is still SIP, just better done and with more feature parity to other implementations of SIP.

  @Dashrender said in AzureAD and shares: @travisdh1 said in AzureAD and shares: @scottalanmiller said in AzureAD and shares: @brandon220 said in AzureAD and shares: FFIEC Cybersecurity Assesment Tool It is REALLY fishy that a government agency is trying to put small banks at risk and goes directly against requirements for the big institutions. Have you DEALT with a government agency lately? Just last week I had to fix a client's access to the Social Security billing system which is forcing use of Internet Explorer 11 to run software that downloads on demand and establishes a VPN into the main billing system database. They think they're secure, but use a security model from the 90s at best on old browsers that should have been retired. They don't think they are secure - they just have a platform that 'worked' in the 90's and amazingly still works, so they won't update it. It didn't work then either, they just know that their customers aren't very smart or concerned.

Maybe he could help? Well, that was honestly why I replied here again. Also @scottalanmiller is back in the states and may have valid input as I know that he has deployed this. Or at least set it up on the PBX side, no telling on the phone and SIP/telco access side. Why would the phone side be any more or less difficult?

  @notverypunny said in Bad one: SonicWALL Remote Management Vulnerability: @scottalanmiller said in Bad one: SonicWALL Remote Management Vulnerability: @wrx7m said in Bad one: SonicWALL Remote Management Vulnerability: WTF? People NAT their iDracs? As opposed to what? Having a disconnected management LAN and only jump boxes to get to them? I think he was referring to inbound NAT / port forwarding from the internet as opposed to LAN only access Oh, yeah PORT FORWARDING to an iDRAC would be pretty "not recommended." But behind a NAT firewall would just allow them to reach out and update, and no one to reach in by default.

  I have a cradlepoint AER2200 setup with an AT&T connection at a location across town at a warehouse that gets occasional use. We were going to be using handheld wireless bar code scanners that needed connection to our ERP server. I created an IPSec tunnel to our main office and used an ACL to only limit the correct ports to the server here. Anyway, the connection has been reliable even though it doesn't get much use. They were going to move out of that location and I was happy because I was going to use the cradlepoint in the main office as a backup, but more for out-of-band management, than for the whole company. Now we have at least another 6 months at that location, so I might end up getting a new one for here anyway. We'll see.

No user backup script: @DustinB3403 said in What the world? No user backup script: Why not use something like UrBackup rather than recreating the wheel with custom scripts? Especially when it's in the Chocolaty repo. Just script the install and configuration! Many aspects of Chocolatey are blocked. I tried to install Greenshot and it failed. It’s the state- which has a high number of limiting GPOs and such. Scripts are also restricted... to a degree. Ugh, hope you find a job somewhere reasonable quick! I took this as a stop gap. But it's what I have now, and what I have to work with. Just trying to improve and make the best of it while here.

  @stacksofplates said in Ansible Agent Option?: Yeah it's obviously bad to treat it like a LAN but if you stop using tools just because it can be treated that way you are sometimes stopping yourself from doing some really interesting and helpful things. Yes, LAN-like tools are only LAN-like if you treat them in that fashion. The behaviour is rarely intrinsic.

I had a ton of issues getting mine to work - I had to run chkdsk like 15 times before it finally booted... I don't recall what migration tool I used.

Possibly, however the password hasn't changed in the last 30 days that it would cause this. Then something was turned on recently that is using a password older than 30 days. Nope. Turns out I had a couple servers that I was giving RDP remote access to another vendor for them to migrate to a new server and I forgot to turn off RDP.

  @WLS-ITGuy said in GPO issue: @Dashrender said in GPO issue: I would change this up by applying your GPOs to the OU above these WLS OUs, then set filters to only apply to the users you want. So in the case of the Library, you've already created a security group, so you'll grant permissions to that group. Then you'll need to create a WLS-Faculty security group and do the same with it's GPO. So the GPOs would be at 'domain level' not in the OU level...Like this? Then I apply the security groups from there? That makes sense. yeah - you could do it at the domain level - I personally wouldn't. I'd make a new OU, and put your WLS-faculity and WLS-Library in that new OU.. then apply your GPOs to that new one you created. But that's just me.

  @Pete-S said in Installing Snipe-IT on CentOS 7 and MariaDB: <rant>NodeBB works like crap on all threads that are longer than a page or two. You can't just grab the scroll bar and find all posts. You have to release it and grab it again for the page to realize there are more posts to show. Also you can just use pgup/pgdn either. It will get a couple of posts then stop unless you work really slow. At least on Firefox. And it's so many round trips to the server just to get a few posts. I which it would get at least a hundred posts or so in one go. Bandwidth needs are minimal. Posts on ML is mostly just a few lines of text. </rant> I can't stand NodeBB on mobile. It's absolute shit in that aspect. On desktop it's great though. But I'd be on way more of it worked half decently on mobile.

  @taurex said in Ubiquiti NVR Performance Improvement: Are you recording most of your streams at full 30 FPS? Are you able to reduce it to 15 FPS and record motion only? This should cut down Unifi NVR's IOPS quite a bit. I didn't think about changing the FPS, yes I'm noticing my NVR is THE Biggest talker on the entire network.

  @DustinB3403 said in Having sluggish performance on my Xen Server VM's, looking for suggestions to boost performance: @Pete-S That would have very easily been a much cleaner approach to this. I don't know if there was some sort of budget constraint but, clean is always the best if possible. Agreed. My thoughts are: If you have no budget then do nothing If you have a small budget then make sure you get the most value for the little money you have If you don't have enough budget to get a good return on your investment then wait until you do Some cost saving measures are just too expensive if you look at the total cost and what you get in return. More so for a non-profit that has to use each dollar wisely.

  @pmoncho said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?: @Dashrender said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?: Cool, then you should have it easy. FYI - Published apps still create a full profile on the RDS box, Just the desktop isn't presented to the user. If the application allows them to browse around, they could typically see the drive letters, the mapped printers, etc... that's why you still need to lock all that stuff down. Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I was debating about using UPD's like @wrx7m and that was my interest in this post. Also, still planning out where to put Connection Broker, WebAccess and Licensing but that is another post. For local profile management, UPDs are a lot cleaner. If we are not putting them on a file server across the network then a second partition/VHDX is set up for that task to keep them separate. With the inclusion of FSLogix with RDS CALs/SALs now it's a no-brainer, IMNSHO, to set the project up on the FSLogix version. Storage management is another reason why UPDs on a network or separate partition make sense. Keeping a local profile on the C:\ of the session host is messy and can cause issues down the road with users coming and going. As far as the Broker/Gateway/Web put those roles on one VM but separate from the Session Host.

  @JasGot Actually I read things very carefully. You clearly stated that our experiences were different. That means you had to of seen the numbers right after the port was requested because that is the current status of my port. As I clearly stated in the original post I just started the port request.

  @JaredBusch said in Skyetel auto enables billable services without notice: @Skyetel said in Skyetel auto enables billable services without notice: @scottalanmiller said in Skyetel is a scam: @DustinB3403 said in Skyetel is a scam: It's not about sensitive. Accounting departments can be incredibly cranky about things being negative and not "due". Negative usually means past due, and can get people up in arms. Normally the system is pay ahead only, that he was able to port with no money on the account is odd. It is, under normal circumstances (and this is pretty standard for trunk providers for many reasons) standard to only allow you to pay ahead and send a notice when you are getting low on funds so that you can "top up", either manually or automatically. Under normal conditions here, I wouldn't expect a possibility of being in the negative. This is true - our LNP team should not have ported the number without first reaching out to him about having a $0 balance. We made a mistake and we're going to be making sure to clarify that with our team I intentionally didn't add funds to a new account I setup (but it does have a valid CC linked) and inititated a port request. New process FTW. Good work @Skyetel Thanks! We work hard to listen to everyone's feedback!
