@JaredBusch said in Exporting mailboxes and archives from Office 365 without using Outlook.:

I have this saved as powershell script named CreatePST.ps1 in C:\Scripts on the Exchange server.

# To execute script, you must open an exchange powershell window, elevated permissions not required. # First you must be in the scripts directory. # cd \scripts # Then execute the powershell script with 3 parameters. # ./CreatePST.ps1 >First Name< >Last Name< >email alias< # ./CreatePST.ps1 Jared Busch jbusch # The export path is not a variable as we need to know that it is writable by the system. param ( [string]$FirstName = $(throw "-FirstName is required."), [string]$LastName = $(throw "-LastName is required."), [string]$alias = $(throw "-alias is required.") ) New-MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox "$alias" -FilePath "\\server\share\PSTExports\$FirstName.$LastName.pst" Write-Host "" Write-Host "To check status, run: Get-MailboxExportRequest | Get-MailboxExportRequestStatistics"

to my knowledge, there is no comparable feature for Office 365.

Most people recommend you use Outlook.

This is a killer script though. I was on the verge of setting up a local exchange server, migrating mailboxes in hybrid mode to the local install and running this script from there.

@art_of_shred you need to have the process started over.

Original phone on original port and verify behavior.

Original phone on new port and verify behavior.

We had the original phone on the original port that was malfunctioning as described in the OP. We replaced the phone and got the same result. The new phone, which had the same exact behavior as the original (so it's not the phone) was moved to another port and had the same issue plus the lack of audio on the other end of a call.

@StrongBad said in The Agony and Ecstasy of RAID:

Is this a #tbt ?

Sure feels that way.

@JaredBusch But that's ok as you can simply farm your work out to contractors. 😄

Screenly OSE really seems like what we need. The fact that we don't have to spend a ton of money on hardware is a plus in my opinion.

@scottalanmiller said in What do you think, did we do this right?:

Can you ever hide the bad stuff from the bad guys? Bad guys will just run the product and get any announcement that is sent out no matter what. That's a given. But the most important thing is letting good admins know what to do, bad admins that don't update - that's their decision and risk.

Well, not fully of course, it is all open source. But the barrier to getting at the problem is a fair bit higher when there are hundreds of changes and some might or might not have a security impact vs you have 5 changes and you KNOW they impact security. It won't stop the NSA but might stop a script kiddie and at least give people more time to update.

I'm not saying it is a magic bullet, but it is widely considered security best practice to do it this way 😉

Anyway, I'm hoping for automated minor updates to solve this in a more elegant way. We've decreased the target on the back of Nextcloud users significantly with our security scan - only 3% outdated systems is a quite small thing to put time and effort in if you're looking to do something like ransomware.

I know this is an older topic, but we're migrating to O365 Business Essentials tomorrow, which includes access to Microsoft Planner. I'm thinking there are at least a few folks here who will benefit from it but would love to hear how people are using it (if anyone here has been).

So I stopped using the text install and went to full graphical and... it started working. WTF

@NerdyDad thats how our colo is. The rent includes security (keycard access to DC, combiantion access to rack), rack, power feed, and Internet. Oh, and basic PDU's. We wanted more advanced PDU's (remote management and monitoring) which we could either lease from them or buy ourselves.

@bigbear said in Need a full featured softphone:

Call disconnected when other extension picked up.

Sounds like no audio device present (e.g. sound card with autosensing but no microphone connected) then. Unless there is some late negotiation involved with direct rtp setup and no common codecs.

However it looks promising and is open source. I only messed with it for a few minutes.

@scottalanmiller said in Hyper-converged infrastructure (I missed the storage part):

Then look at someone like @scale who implement their own storage system directly on the hypervisor itself. So the hypervisor is the only component that needs to be spread out to many nodes. It's kind of like DRBD, being in the hypervisor, but is scale out rather than just a two node mirror. The storage and the hypervisor and the management are all really one thing. Very tightly integrated.

I did something similar. I had Gluster running between the hosts and the VMs are stored on the bricks. However I've switched to just running Gluster in the VMs that need replication. Most are replicated at the application level but a few need data replicated.

That's very odd. I, personally, haven't had good luck with the gui partition manager. For some reason it seems to work differently than what I think it's telling me. Can you boot to a rescue environment and create the RAID array and partitions before starting the installation?

@DustinB3403 I figured, but just wanted to clear the air juuusstttt in case. 😄

@DustinB3403 said in Anyone try SIS (Dedup) on Storage Server 2008 R2 with SCDPM 2016?:

We attempted dedup (straight dedup) on a share, and it caused corruption to the share.

Not sure if I'd trust windows dedup any more because of that..

That's a good point.

I've been using it in production on 2016, after testing it for a while first. It seemed fine later in 2012 R2. I have not used it in this way in 2008 R2, let alone Storage Server 2008 R2.

I may just leave it alone on there and weigh some other options.

I think I'll still test it for sake of thoroughness.

There is no functionality difference, at the backup level, in the editions of the new agent.

Oh, I missed that you were cross posting 🙂

Me too. I was about to congratulate @DustinB3403 on the new job. 🙂

@fuznutz04 said in XO disk usage issue:

Fixed it. Thanks @DustinB3403 .

Total face palm moment. When I setup backups a few months ago, I properly had XO backing up to a remote SMB share on another PC, with the share called Backups. At some point, probably during troubleshooting, I must have pointed the backup folder to just /Backups...which was located on the XO vm itself. I was backing up XO to itself.

Is that like Inception?

Yeah, backing up to XO, while allowed, isn't ideal for this very reason. Glad we were able to resolve the issue.
