@whoolly said in Switchvox phone issues:

Vendor insisted he has never had any VOIP issues with Sonicwall and didn't want to budge on that.

Even while it doesn't work. So you know that he'll say this to other customers now, even after this one. Chances are, he's had problems at all customers. SonicWall is culprit #1 for VoIP issues. I mean that literally. I get a call that someone has VoIP audio issues, my first question is always "Do you have a SonicWall?" Nine times out of ten, the answer is yes and nine times out of those ten, the SW was the issue. It's nearly a sure bet with audio issues.

Had you led this question purely with "I have these audio issues..." we'd have said "I bet you have a SonicWall."

How big is the network? Sometimes just manually auditing into a spreadsheet is best.

The G4400 will probably be fine for you then. It's a bit of a slouch but for what you're describing only the power users will notice.

y000000000XX.cfg

So just exporting each phones config and savings a macaddress.cfg there would do the trick? Guess this would not even have required EMP?

Correct. In fact the phone will export it as macaddress-all.cfg in the first place.
Does not require EndPoint Manager.

This is one area where Fusion is kicking @#!$@. This particular install is just one I would prefer to switch over later after I have done more video on FusionPBX

Have yet to do anything with my test install.

@JaredBusch ZeroTier for the win! Once we got the Ubiquiti VPN configured and working, it proved to be unreliable. At first we thought it was the user, but after watching what he was doing and checking the stats on the ER, we found it was nothing he was doing - it just wasn't reliable.

I tried ZeroTier myself and then set it up for the client and it works just like I wanted it to.

@scottalanmiller Thanks Scot... thanks everyone will find these solutions

No doubt I did. I think it had something to do with The hostname.

Got back to this yesterday. Running on CentOS7 as a base (best of the default options the hosting provider has/had.) Easy management through the remote virt-manager and ssh.

@Tim_G turned me onto Kimchi as a secondary management interface as well. I've successfully installed wok and kimchi, but haven't opened the port yet, will get that done tonight after grabbing an ssl cert.

Also got the first vm uploaded last night, tomorrow looks to be a big day in my home lab.

Something I learned from being a group admin for Spiceworks for years is that enterprise types lurk heavily in SMB forums.

Hey, shush your mouth. I don't lurk, I troll.

WAIT, PSX IS STILL A THING?!?

Real simple:

start /B /W wmic.exe /interactive:off ComputerSystem Where "Name='%computername%'" Call UnJoinDomainOrWorkgroup FUnjoinOptions=0

You can either do an Enter-PSSession or use psexec.exe to execute. Put a reboot command in a batch and call it a day.

Make sure to create a new glassbreak account local to the PC, so that every machine has a specific account someone can perform work with.

Just select Windows 10.

@fateknollogee said in Just need a basic Switch - to act as a Hub:

@DustinB3403 Why are you calling it a "hub"?

Because there is no switching taking place. The devices simply ask for a dhcp address, and go. All switches are hubs, so a basic unmanaged switch.

Wtf are you talking about?

My guess - a confusion between switching and routing.

Probably wants a switch, but is calling it a hub, not realizing that a hub is a specific thing that sends all traffic out all ports (layer 1).

In this case, either would probably work, but hubs are limited to 10/100,...

That's true, the GBit standard prohibits hubs.

@QuixoticJeremy Are you bored again? We need a hub that can get around Ethernet standards and pass traffic at gigabit speeds!

Ha, ha ha ha, ha.... pass. lol

Because it's just me.

@jt1001001 said in Unable to get time to sync on Server 2012 R2 DC:

are any of your time services running under a domain accoutn instead of Local Service? Sounds like a service does not have permission to update the time

Windows Time is set to run under "Local Service" (not local system account)

I guess I just have to wait and see.

WTF?

Yes, exactly my reaction when I heard about this. Waiting on my tech support request response. Just got that in today.

No, I mean the first part. WTF does that even mean.

Confused, late night postings apparently.
