Yeah, latency was utterly terrible. In-laws said they could watch Netflix on it but that would take most of their data allotted.

Yeah, once something actually got started, the speed was good. It's just getting anything started was really slow. It really didn't help that they had a data allotment of 2 GB and 8 people actually using it.

@fuznutz04 I agree, low orbit satellites have been an obvious target for any company with the means to get started with it for a number of years now. Can't happen fast enough!

@roopankumar I am ready to pay but the budget should match too for the device

I'm not sure that I've ever tried this. I think that they have a 2FA thing.

2FA means?

Two Factor Authentication

But my account automatically logged in without resetting the fb password page too.How is it possible?

I started using the hosted version. One, because it was cheaper and two, because I needed something sooner than later and didn't have time to deploy and get it going. I confirmed that I can move the data out and host myself in the future.

I like it overall but some of the importing has proven to be flaky when grabbing csv files. Sometimes the header doesn't really apply and I will have to make a small adjustment and then reimport. I am still in the process of adding assets but I like it overall. I also use SpiceWorks reports and verify against known good data as I import the csvs.

@scottalanmiller said in Best Small Business Accounting Systems:

I'm surprised that we've not heard from any FreshBooks users as they seem to be pretty popular.

I used it. But only for invoicing, literally nothing more.

@lakshmana so you got link for that

@rojoloco I am having basic idea but I will ask questions as a person who knows less technical so that the topic will be understood for non-technical persons too

@thugh24 said in Windows 10 " creators" build:

Besides not installing updates, anyone know of a fix or work around?

Office 2010 works fine with the July updates and other applications have been working fine for me.

@scottalanmiller will check on Monday at user machine and update.As I am traveling to Hometown

What all hypervisors that are not Xen need, is hardware from the CPU to do their virtualization. So what they need from their underlying hypervisor is for the entire CPU, not just part of it, to be virtualized. The problem with most hypervisors is that the "pc appearance" that they create on which an OS is installed is a less capable processor than the real one that the HV is running on. So while the HV is getting virtualization enabled hardware, the OS normally is not. But if the HV passes that through, then the secondary HV will be fully capable as well.

OS Image deployment - I use Clonezilla. Setup a VM with all needed drivers/applications for all devices in fleet, create and answer file, sysprep and go.

remote support - I include the access version of ScreenConnect in all of my images (see instructions on anonymizing the setup pre sysprep.

asset management - I use Excel, but SnipeIT I hear is good.

But of course, the three links you pointed to already say all of this.

@ambarishrh said in Centralized Imaging/OS Deployment:

Some of the features I liked on that is the base image is made from a virtual instance so that this can be deployed to any machine and a single image to maintain, the driver packs for almost every model etc. I am planning to evaluate this in detail next week when I am back in the office.

JB does this almost exclusively with Clonezilla. I've done it as well, so using a VM doesn't matter to the product.

My second choice would be MDT but again if SmartDeploy is taking the pain for spending a lot of time on the initial setup, which we don't have at the moment (lot of internal projects in the pipeline with tight deadlines)

You're trading money for time here. MDT makes you do all the leg work, you have to find and add the drivers yourself. SmartDeploy takes your money and does that work for you.

@tim_g said in Domaing Joining Windows Servers:

Seems odd you'd have the least secure systems on the domain, the client computers... and not have the most secure systems on the domain, the servers. With your DC and hypervisor being on the domain, how many times have those been compromised? Do you not update your servers? Do they all have internet access

To my knowledge they haven't been. No. All servers receive Windows updates. Yes.

And I agree, this is odd. This, and so many other things, are being fixed one bite at a time.

Set your firewall to drop outbound traffic from servers that don't need Internet access. Point those servers to a local WSUS server for updates. Allow the WSUS server to get out to Internet. You can set local policy and point servers to WSUS, if they aren't domain joined. That way, servers can be updated but lower attack vector as they cannot get online.

Really quite as as Ecuador had a major tech company for a while. Major in that they were important at least.

@dashrender said in First Look at FreePBX 14:

I'm installing this for the first time on Vultr.. damn, that initial install took 20+ mins, just like JB.

Adding more resources doesn't seems to help. I did it with 2 Cores, and 2GB of RAM took the same amount of time.....

Not too many things that it is doing that are likely multithreaded. Mostly just transferring files.

@stacksofplates That's what i loked about it while reading on it.

Oh that's funny and interesting! Might I ask what sort of work so I can see a little bit about what is done?

Came upon a different issue using OWA.. User has emails back to 2011, which they are okay to delete.

SHIFT - Select First and Last of 2011 does not select all of those emails. you have to basically list a page at a time to select them, and if you 'miss click' you have to start over again.

Deleting via Outlook was a pretty simple task - OWA - not so much. And what about Archiving? while email from 2011 is not likely to be needed, there are some that do need mail back to the beginning of time. - AH ,yes. I need to look more into the back end, and archiving. Right now, the user would like to be able to send/receive email... she hit the 50GB limit.

OWA sucks big ass donkey balls for anything beyond basic use.

But lessso than Outlook. So it's a tradeoff 🙂

I completely disagree. Outlook works quite well for the tasks I need to perform and OWA does not.

Bulk deletes do work better in Outlook. But it requires much more support. For the tasks I need to do, OWA does it better and requires far less babysitting.

Bulk anything works better in Outlook. So does Search. If all you want is basic read and respond, then OWA is a great solution.

Search on OWA is really good for me. Maybe it has improved more recently?

That would be an incorrect assumption. Search is horrible beyond basic searching. I often perform a search of "last week" or "some date range" in a subset of folders excluding many folders. You cannot do this in OWA.

If you just want to type a word or name and find it, yeah that works great, but is also extremely basic.

OWA is a very good basic email client. nothing more.

Edit: I use it all day. but I also have outlook running in a Windows 10 VM that I use to handle these issues.

@irj

Hey everyone thanks for the input. It looks like we may just deploy the patch everywhere, wait until a majority of the clients install the patch, then create the registry key on the DCs. Also, since the reg change does not require a reboot you can switch values on the fly with ease.
