In theory, you could even update the firmware on the UAP, in the future, by pre-downloading it on a device that presents it via a URL and then join that device to the aloha network.

But that would be excessive amounts of work.

Possibly the app could do it on an iPhone/Android device with LTE that is also joined to the aloha wifi.

Of something to note, this same format works for iPhone text messages, but not Android. This isn't an ordeal for me (as most of our user base are iPhone users) but might be worth looking into further to figure out why it works for one but not the other.

@JaredBusch said in httpd dead but pid file exists:

In fact, I would rename anything in conf.d first, and restart.

You could do something like this...

mv conf.d conf.d.orig
mkdir conf.d

That way you have an empty folder, but can replace it with the old one in a snap all at once.

Replication may occur as often as every minute, but you could still lose files or changes within that time span that were never copied to the target.

I think Veeam limits to every 15 minutes?

I don't know as we don't use Veeam replication. I know other solutions can go as often as every minute. But that is outside of this scope.

Some every 30 seconds.

DRBD does it in milliseconds, as fast as the platform can do it.

@dbeato said in Windows Server 2012 Remote Web Access not connecting and RDS services showing error 23005:

@scottalanmiller Yeah, RDW is the problem I understand now. Basically you can remote desktop without need of App Resources Proxy without any problems. But if you try to load the App Resources from a Windows 10 device then yes I understand now.

Yeah. It's a weird "Essentials only" issue, only on 2012 and older. From what I can tell.

@Dashrender said in MDT Resources:

I make an image once per major update from MS, so twice a year - roll out that image, install the latest Cumulative Update

I also just do that - I just import the stock WIM from the MS iso and use that. Everything else is GPO, PS and PDQ Deploy.

One and the same. They have a spam white list that you can pay to get around.

@FATeknollogee said in UNMS backup question:

@JaredBusch said in UNMS backup question:

If you want to restore an individual unit, that process is already built into the system so what are you trying to get exported?

I'm just asking for info purposes in case of a future restore.

You can download a specific device backup from within UNMS. When you do so, it asks you if you want one for restoring to the same system or a different system (because of the UNMS key negotiation).

@scottalanmiller Thank you sir. Your and everyone's input is valued and appreciated.

@Pete-S

Hey if your bussiness can use LibreOffice, you dont need MS Windows. Or google Docs, basically if you can do your job via terminal and web browser you have alot of options and freedom

Thanks Emad but I'm not the one looking for VDI solutions. I just wanted to share my test with the raspberry pi 4 is it might be interesting to use as a thin client.

Something extra nice about an RP4 as a thin client is that it has the power to run things locally too. I know lots of people who use them as a fat clients. Being that cheap and dual purpose is great.

@VoIP_n00b said in Incoming Call Issue:

Running FreePBX v14... No resent changes made, except to change the name on an extension.

When some calls in, and let's say they dial 555 then end up getting 511, 511 can then forward the call to 555 no issue, but I have no idea what is causing this.

Because they released a horrible fucking update to IVR.

Edit your IVR and set strict dial time out to No - legacy

That fixed it! Thank you so much!!!

@JasGot said in Cost Pros and Cons for VDI in DataCenter:

Thanks. This will be good to make sure I don't miss any high points to demonstrate why it is a bad idea for this particular business.

The main "bad" is the complete lack of any benefits.

That's the real crux... absolutely zero reason to even consider it. Tons and tons of negatives, and what seems like no positives.

LOL - If I were the boss, I could do that. She has already ordered me to remove her from the monthly updates - so I have to nag her to do those manually, they can't be pushed to her via WSUS, because of reboots.

Make sure you have a "get it in writing to remove HIPAA requirement automation."

OH, good one.. She's breaking HIPAA by not being updated.

Over a certain time frame, yeah. 🙂 That's going to be the big motivation here. Maybe he should even go to the owners and say "as you title me an IT decision maker, I meed a sign off to allow disregarding the law and a statement that I'm not allowed to follow HIPAA against my requirements, knowledge, and recommendations." Don't argue it, just make them state that they've accepted responsibility by demanding he not follow HIPAA.

But since automatic is disabled, he has no insight to know the time frame is being kept. So yeah.

Right, even if she promises to do it as HIPAA requires, he needs to be indemnified from that.

Here is the complete list of required ports.

@Carnival-Boy said in Learning Python from Microsoft:

I'm planning on learning Python to help my son who is studying it at school (with a useless teacher).

Python 3 is definitely the best option for learning. My kids have had some luck using the learn online free tools out there.

@Dashrender Confirmed, our MailCow is using ActiveSync to my phone, works beautifully.

@JaredBusch said in How do I install gparted on RHEL 7.7 with GUI?:

@Pete-S yum install epel-release absolutely should work.

If I understand correctly yum install epel-release only works on CentOS, not real RHEL.

It was a fresh install too from rhel-server-7.7-x86_64-dvd.iso

Ah, you are correct. I skimmed the RHEL bit. Totally my bad.

Nope.
