That's just if you don't want it to run as the 'root' user, which I've never had an any incentive to change.

Which pretty much defeats the purpose, anyway.

Someone on Spiceworks who had recently downloaded the firmware was able to send it to me (wipes sweaty brow) just so folks who read this will know. I appreciate the help.

And yes, @scottalanmiller , this kind of thing is all too common these days. I don't like it, but it doesn't change the situation at hand I'm afraid.

Now why they are not keeping free DNS when it probably costs them nothing to keep? No idea. But that's their own business decision. Why would anyone have DNS on them regardless?

Because they host and maintain our website (setup long before I got here).

That's actually a reason why the DNS should be somewhere else. It makes them no longer a random choice, but actively the one that should be avoided.

Had you specifically mentioned decoupling in this post, I wouldn't have been confused.

@dustinb3403 said in Local powershell script to pull AdObject without installing RSAT:

You could try using psexec to call powershell to do this. .

Just a thought

where would you be calling it to? Wherever you call - you have to have the correct permissions, and the AD commandlets have to be there.

I jumped on mxtoolbox to see what email service a new client was using, and it came back with "Microsoft Office", the host is clearly pointing to Office 365.

But that got me thinking, didn't the verbiage use to say "Office 365" instead of "Microsoft Office", or am I just crazy?

I've never noticed, but why does it matter?

I think part of it was the double take, where I was used to seeing Office 365 and then saw "Microsoft Office" and thought well what the hell is that... O365? Yep the host shows as O365, so must just be a name change.

@momurda said in O365 Email search for Attorney -:

@scottalanmiller Yes, and the not being able to use Discovery service, and teh not being able to add a pst to Outlook part.

Those aren't things I'd expect a lawyer to be doing, though. That's tech work for technical people, not legal work.

Interesting, on the website, the included apps are the same.

They include the same apps but some of the rights are different:-

RDS isn't virtualization though - at least I don't think it is.

@scottalanmiller ??

This is how Microsoft describe it in this context, including which plans it's available on:

Those are not in yet anyway. Soon™

Most of the time when you upgrade android, you break root. If you upgrade before you root, rooting may not be possible.

I would advise against doing any rooting procedures if you do not understand the process of rooting. You are likely to brick the device.

Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem

Or go to https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/PowerShell-System-571521d1
And download a more advanced ps1 from MS

What is it that you need from this person?

I have move from the Dell PowerConnect and X Series to EdgeSwitch 48 Port sand 48 PoE 750 W. They have been working great and can handle a lot of traffic pretty good. Also Layer 3.

@reid-cooper said in Running nested VMs in Fedora 26 KVM / QEMU on Hyper-V:

Out of curiosity, why could he not make the throw away VM on top of Hyper-V?

He doesn't have Hyper-V, and we don't give users access to the Hyper-V Servers. No SCVMM, so no granular control over VMs and HyperV.

Oh, I guess that I was confused.

@jaredbusch Done!

@jaredbusch Nice! That looks better, the other one was going one by one and that's it...

Yeah it's not something we care for, as there are to many nuances for a system that has no tie in to what we need

I am actually at this moment trying to get a branded deal going, for a large global hotel chain and also looking at doing it for my own service.

Verizon and others do this with a Yealink. The main reason is when you sell to a business and not to IT, they've never heard of Yealink. There's no need to give a customer the desire to google Yealink and then learn about FreePBX etc. Yealink doesn't have the brand equity Polycom or Cisco does.

I was really surprised when Sangoma claimed to not be using Yealink for the design. It's a clear rip off of the t4 series design but I did hear early on they sourced Texas Instruments for boards and some chipsets that have wideband audio issues.

It took me a while to revisit this issue though i have managed to address this issue using multiuser SMB mount.

In essence, you would add the mount point to the fstab using the multiuser and ntlmssp options and then you would run
the cifscreds command to authenticate a specific user against the SMB server at the time of login so that that user would be able to see only those sub-folders/files which he/she has access to under the smb mount.

@tim_g said in System 76 - Creating their own Linux OS - Pop! OS:

I think it's a major waste of resources. That's why most (99,9%) of Linux distros suck. Lack of resources required to make it viable and keep it updated.

Yup, this is what gets Korora. Mint is one of the few that has resources to do what it does, and Deepin. Other than those, it seems that mostly it is just the big commercial vendor systems (RH, Suse, and Canonical) that can keep things tight enough to be truly viable. Lots of good research and testing out there from smaller distros, but the solidness that only the big three can bring is pretty important.
