there were 34 participants (not all from this site--I think it was close to half from this site)
no location data as the survey was anonymous

@zowee said in Nextcloud AMA!!:

Going away from the open core was the right step. Still, Nextcloud (.com) is owned by the Nextcloud GmbH, will there ever be non-profit organization or a foundation that holds all the trademarks and domains.

Good question and the answer is 'yes'. Frankly we wanted to do this much earlier but it is a fair amount of work and we are still very busy building up the project. The plan is to create a foundation that would own the trademark and, under certain circumstances (like a take-over of the business) have the right to take it away from the company. The board of the foundation would consist of a majority of non-company-affiliated people, and the community should vote on who's on there.

Open questions are what else the foundation should do. Accept and handle donations? Do the conference? Even some development? Or nothing other than the trademark protection? These things have their pro's and cons so we have to have a wider discussion still. Perhaps at the upcoming Nextcloud conference, I'm not sure yet. We will have a solution in 2017, though, I am quite certain of that.

@PenguinWrangler said in Simple NethServer 7 ISO Installation:

Has anyone ever used SME Sever? http://wiki.contribs.org? Looks similar to NethServer, not as up to date of an interface it appears but I have used it at locations and it works well. It is based on CentOS.

Actually, NethServer is based off SME Server:

That's the reason for the similarity.

Nvm, answered my own question here.

@JaredBusch said in Mental Process - Migrating from Wasp Mobile Asset to Snipe IT:

The hard part of anything like this is the manual labor to organize shit.

If it was my call, I would spin up a clean new system and using a report form the old system only import the valid assets.

Manually do the f***ed up assets the right way. and then set a migration date.

Kill change access to the old system and use it only for reporting purposes.

Yeah, that does make the most sense. And the manual labor is the worst part. It always is.

I just don't understand WHY you'd need a connected vending machine.

Credit Card transactions.

Wouldn't a dial-up connection that dumps transactions once a day be sufficient?

Maybe, but they're probably doing fraud checks on each swipe.

True... and all the more reason for them to be secured better.

The CC transaction connection is a likely a self contained bit like your stand alone reader at a mom and pop restaurant. Those are manually connected to a service on initial setup and then they just go on their merry way with their own secure tunnel.

I'm curious how this other group even got involved? Who are they to the project?

@krisleslie said in Note to self. Don't buy MangeEngine products:

The spiceworks app it works! 🙂

Works like shit maybe.

We use azure backup in house for our Windows file servers. I am not the head of the Azure backup group but passed this to my coworker and we will be looking into it. Will report back what we find

Snipe-IT would be the best option and yes import works without any issues. I recently setup Snipe-IT and imported our age old excel sheet inventory ( need to work on the formatting a bit to match Snipe-IT format, and for that all i did was to just create one asset and exported that to csv) But if you get the chance, i would say take time and build your database just for the major models, machine types and location and that will help you on the long run.

I found these guys on Amazon a few months ago looking for something else. I have not used or tried the products but looks like what you need.

Well the report is automatically generated from a system we use here. So if possible, rather than having people have to open 2 files, I'd like the modules to just import when excel launches.

I suppose I could bury the modules into the personal file. But I'm not sure if that't the best approach.

Awesome thanks guys, I'll wait for the next computer to go down then I'll report back with results!

@Romo I should find out soon enough. Just finished spinning up a new VM for this.

When you fire that power shell script off, if you go back to the sync manager, you'll see it does all 6 things. 🙂

Yep, that's how I confirmed it!

@syko24 said in Headset Recommendations for softphone:

@thanksajdotcom - Really just something that is comfortable and over the ear. Being able to walk away from my desk while on the phone would be nice as I am a pacer when I talk.

I assume that wireless models actually connect to the wifi network or are they all just Bluetooth with some kind of base station/usb module.

Also, I prefer over-the-ear, which is why I like the W730. If you see an M after it, all that means is that the specific model is Microsoft certified, but the ones without it work just as well. Also, Plantronics has some awesome software you can use to help manage it, that is very nice and powerful. It's free too. 🙂 aka no extra licensing or fees to get it or use it

In the case of the college, their dedicated IOT network was using DNS from their corporate network.

Then it wasn't dedicated 😉

No, clearly it wasn't dedicated.

@scottalanmiller said in MY Cloud IT for Azure RDS:

If you aren't careful, that's how you end up getting hit with both RDS and VDI licensing at the same time!

Oh I understand. I have not personally used winflector. It looked interesting with their claim of not using RDS I figured it was a workaround MS licensing.

Probably just a clever way to get people to assume that. Not the first company to bank on that exact process.
