  Even more puzzling is that this problem seems to be caused by a video driver.

  @Josh said: Gotcha - If you care to monitor the logs, my suggestion would be to just look for ERROR or FATAL not INFO It's Loggly. So the Info logs become part of our volume. We aren't looking for anything, the logs are all hosted online.

  @JaredBusch Yes, it is a hard time for me, I usually give better than I receive. Whining about it does not make it better for you or for me. In essence I am sorry. I am new to this site, still feeling my way through things - built up expectations -etc. You have my take on one side of a problem I have here at work. Without Management chiming in - how do you know if I am being honest with you or just making myself look better? It would be easy to browbeat others and create scenario's where I am the hero and they are the villain, but we all have our reasons for doing things the way we do - right - or - wrong. You be the judge? How on such meager amounts of information! It is like asking a pc graphic's problem but leaving out you are running corel x6 on a 486/66 with 64M Ram with onboard video, then asking "Why are my 5 meg JPG's taking so long to open? You would naturally assume (at least I may) core 2 duo, 1g ram, at the slow end - but alas Assume came onboard. Thanks for your input, that is what was important. I may have been fishing, and you took the bait. Left me with some good advice, I unfortunately reacted hastily with hostility and jumped on you for it. No matter, It makes me look bad, but going with the rest of the story, I cannot convey the intense feeling of frustration to you I was under trying to avert what I perceived as a minor/major disaster (still not an excuse for that reaction). Look how it rolls, downhill, even to people you don't know... Dealing with change easy, dealing with intense emotion's "Crazy Man". Again, Sorry, and thanks.... Maybe someway I can make amends? Then there is always time. Thanks!

  @Dashrender said: @Katie said: Why does he need a secondary calendar? Perhaps a shared calendar is in order instead of the delegates system. Category changes from the primary works just fine to delegates... Currently it appears that we are going to be forced to use the primary calendar - but then that means that the user can't use it for their own personal stuff. How do you create a shared calendar in O365? (I haven't even googled this yet). As long as we don't need another license for a shared calendar it will probably be a good solution. Another question/thought. What about a sharepoint calendar? Do they integrate with Exchange? Can I get a SP calendar on an iPhone like I can a secondary calendar? How do I add a shared calendar to an iPhone? Thanks Shared mailboxes can be created in the Exchange Management section of Office 365. These would not be accessible via ActiveSync. They also don't consume licenses. SharePoint calendars do synchronize with Outlook. In theory, you can add them to an iPhone using CalDAV, though I haven't tried it myself.

  That's why I'm saying they could be drug to court... but it would be pretty difficult for either side to prove anything unless there are recorded conversations (voice or email) and basically shows you are telling the client they don't need to purchase, then you're in trouble.

  I am through worrying about this client. According to the client "I understand and appreciate your thoughts I have already advised the cloud company I am interested in disaster recovery as this is one of the main reasons we are going outside of our office for server location. I will let you know what I find."

  @alexntg said: @Dashrender said: Alex, aren't your clients Scott's clients? what would you recommend? For advanced-user home use? Netgear makes some reasonable entry-level business APs. For the Apple-oriented household, Apple AirPorts can be configured for AP mode. If you're looking to go all-out with features like captive portals, VLANs, and central management, a jump up to Meraki may be an option, if one plans to get some heavy use out of it. I've has great luck with Netgear ProSafe APs. I've had Apple Aurport too but found them to be unreliable. And very overpriced.

  @alexntg Unfortunately, no. With this client I am lucky to even be involved in the hardware purchasing. Our main role there is software development. I keep carefully trying to get this work from the company that does it, but you know how that works.

  @scottalanmiller said: @alexntg said: @scottalanmiller said: Not the same idea. With SVN, for example, we can look up changes over time, do rollbacks, see who committed changes, deploy to other systems, do comparisons. Both are good to have but version control is a different thing than those technologies. I'm not sure about device comparison, but LANDesk does the remainder. It logs every action taken. if you push out a bad patch or package, you can roll it back/call the uninstaller. That's pretty nice. Not free though What's it matter if it's free? If it can save a few techs' worth of salary per year and makes managing thousands of computers much easier, it's paid for itself.

  I've never read the Eula since I never considered installing it but I'm pretty sure that the time after the trial was actually a violation. The kind if stuff that the BSA looks for.

  Maybe it's a new update in 5.5. I've tested 5.0 and 5.1 and not seen it work on either of those.

  @ambarishrh said: @scottalanmiller Nice writeup on that actually. Few of our servers are hosted in London and some in Vancouver. I was just wondering if loggly is safe enough to push all server logs. A centralised logging option is always in my mind, but am still thinking of having a self hosted log management server to collect and analyse logs from all our servers. Loggly is the leading hosted log platform. It is likely safe to consider it safer than hosting your own log collection platform. Loggly is a major player.

  I actually started down that path in Q1 of 2013 when we deployed Elastix at my main site but ran out of time. Back then the T32G was not part of the configurator, but I did find this gem, which may help you: link text. I got as far as adding the T32G to the phone database on the server so that it would show as an option when Elastix detects the phone. But that's as far as I made it.

  A single domain across both sites with a DC at each feels better at a first read. Very simple but keeping traffic from going over the WAN except as failover.
