@bigbear said in Office 365 Subscription expires - does email delivery continue for 30 days?:

d for 2 weeks past due before I had to call billing. Maybe I just got lucky

I guess, I just don't like to risk it 🙂

@jmoore said in The Motivations of Sales:

I get that. I just know some are better at it than others. Just seems that it would be in a company's best interest to only have someone trained deal with salespeople if that were possible of course.

Right, but the theory is that the term for those people is "IT". Only the IT staff has the possibility of being this role, because if you had someone able to do this role that wasn't IT, they should be IT.

@bigbear said in FreePBX:

Smaller than VULTR I mean. I think they are two data centers, Phoenix and Milwaukee. I imagine that VULTR is just much much bigger.

Or maybe they pay Schmooze for the "official host" moniker?

Sangoma. There is no more Schmooze.

Schmooze chose the datacenter in Milwaukee because Schmooze was based in Milwaukee.

@bigbear You are right. The number of qualitive content goes down. But principles of evolution work everywhere. In a long distance fast and non qualitive content will be beated by users who can keep a long distance with a great quality.

Why are you posting on a thread that is more than 2 years old?

Because he has useful resources.

Yeah, every year they do this, I just the multiple downloader for this.

Great example came in today. Someone had a Dell server, four matching drives. The system arrived with no virtualization configured and the OS was installed without RAID on a single drive. Each drive was attached as an individual drive. Obviously Dell never intended someone to use the system like that, even for a desktop that's not an acceptable setup. It's pretty clear that it was just a test install to show that the hardware was working.

But several people said "but Dell set it up this way, obviously it is okay" and it has been running in production and is now a disaster.

I'd really ask yourself if there is actually evidence that he is smart, or is it not more likely that he's just good at playing the political game and has a position of authority for possibly less than ethical reasons? None of us know him, we only know him through your descriptions. But basically every thing said about him sounds like "holy cow, this guy is clueless and I'd not keep him as an intern" then suddenly "he's a smart guy" kind of sticks out as not matching the description we've been getting thus far. A well meaning blundering buffoon, sure. That's how he sounded until then. Now it sounds like maybe he's setting up a heist or a network hostage situation.

@bigbear said in Anyone Looked at HubSpot CRM:

@rojoloco Yeah I mean the fact that it had MangoLassi in the bit.ly link, which was picked by the creator. But the Ghetty Images use for profile pic probably did it in.

Can't blame anyone for hussling. Just make a post "Please try my product" and maybe pay for an add on the ML sidebar rotation.

I will always publicly call out these secret vendors/marketers/sales d***. Every time I see them. F*** that noise. They can peddle their bullshit elsewhere.

I'm ok with peddling, just be up front about it. Doesn't serve them when they get called out. Everyone has to make a living just hate when someone tries to deceive me.

Thanks!

Skimmed entire thread because, WTF.

Seriously, what does the OS have to do with the choice of O365?

Obviously if you cannot run the desktop apps, then there is no reason to pay for a subscription that includes them, but that has nothing to do with the rest of the features of O365 or any other solution such as GStuite.

You buy the solution that fits your needs. O365 has many packages that give you features without the desktop applications.

I feel a disturbance in the force @JaredBusch posted on this thread without using that phrase.

A cool app that helps to perform your business communication in the most effective way and is compatible with lots of CRMs is Call Tracker for CRM.
It tracks contacts/leads/accounts directly to CRM and even records the calls.
You can find out more info here => http://magneticonemobile.com/CallTracker/

The reason for looking at GFI is (we are decentralizing from the parent company, moving out of exchange to O365 and they have GFI email archiver. From that entire GFI archiver, we need to extract just our domain emails and then keep that, plus look at a longer retention emails on O365 moving forward as well.

@coliver said in Why Does Windows Need Special SFTP Functionality?:

I've found OpenSSH on Windows to be missing some features that Linux has. It may be a Windows vs Linux thing but home directories and jails seem to be both missing. There were some others in the past but don't remember what they were offhand.

Those are not features of SSH. SSH doesn't have them on either platform.

That's fine... but that's one of the reasons we needed to look at a different SFTP server that allowed us to designate home directories and jails for users.

Seems like an odd functionality to want in your SSH server. Why do you want that on Windows?

If you're treating it like FTP, why wouldn't you want those things?

But FTP doesn't have those things, either. In both cases FTP and SFTP are just the protocols, but we are talking about OS functions. Why does SFTP need to be treated so differently from FTP is really the base question.

@dashrender said in Greenfield (OK not really) setup questions:

Additional options: use something like Salt to create network mappings for the computers.

I am interested to hear about:

"Salt to create network mappings for the computers."

Since salt works only when minions connected, and for reason my NAS and windows clients loses the connections every 2-3 days and requires the user to re-input username/password (maybe related to Windows limtiation)

how will you effectively use salt for that purpose ? just put script to run at user login ? any other neat ways to do this ?

Salt is meant to run continuously. For example, mine run every 10 minutes or so to verify the environment. So if a mapped drive failed, it would be fixed again in a few minutes.

The same goes for GPO. It refreshes every 15 min I think by default.

Every 90 minutes with a 30 minute flux. So every 60-120 minutes for GPO.

@ktsaou said in netdata 1.5 released - big update!:

netdata and prometheus are quite different. They can actually cooperate: netdata exposes all its metrics in a prometheus compatible format, so that prometheus can use netdata as a data collector.

In general, prometheus is a time-series database with an embedded scraper. For sources it cannot scrape itself it uses other data collectors (including netdata).

netdata is a real-time performance monitoring. The detail and amount of information netdata provides is probably too much for prometheus. Also netdata is distributed (you install it everywhere), while prometheus is centralized.

There is no good and bad in these things. Different things for different needs.

So, use the solution that suits you best...

Right. I didn't mean they were the same under the hood. I mean they are both "exposed" in the same way.

@wrx7m said in Windows restore from system image (Windows 7 Professional):

For user profile migrations, I generally use Transwiz. It will package the user's profile (domain or local) on the old system and when you run it on the new one, it creates the registry entries and copies all the content to the users folder. I have been using it for years and rarely have any weird issues.

https://www.forensit.com/move-computer.html

Does it copy the users' cert store?

Good question. I do not know.

Wow, major changes since I last tested it!
