@larsen161 From a security perspective, I wanted to use separate u/p for my email system and archives.

Later, Backupify did tell me that they were planning to implement 2fa in 2017 but I would wait for it to happen to believe it as I have been chasing this feature since 2012!

The whole reason for my post was the notion that the employee would go running to their boss because IT is making them unproductive, at least in perception, if not in reality.

That's for them to do, not IT. IT would verify it if needed, but not by default be the tattle tales just for the sake of reporting on employees.

which was exactly the post I was responding to above.

This picture doesn't really say much, and now that they've fixed their inbound TLS issue, perhaps the unencrypted number will be a lot smaller from now on... just thought I'd share what they shared.

@RoopanKumar said in Any symantec netbackup admins here??!!!!:

OK, now I need to setup like 2 windows server, 2 Linux and 3 DB server with netbackup

what will the hardware configuration for that setup
RAM?CPU?HDD?

That's tiny. NetBackup is meant for enterprise environments. I've never heard of any NB deployment with fewer than three or four hundred individual servers. That's less than a single server there! Why NB?

@KOOLER said in Views on Halizard:

We'll keep free version CLI-managed, like Hyper-V is. Initially Linux-based VSA with a web mgmt will be free as well

That's awesome! Do you have any ETA's yet?

Mid-January 2017.

P.S. I hope so ;)))

@Dashrender I'm not sure. I think it was for a timeclock so they just wanted something setup quickly. I don't even know if he's the person who did the initial install. We took over for another company and are still finding stuff.--

@Dashrender said in IT is Complex:

management - you mean anyone who it's IT. For most it seems if you say you are IT, then they assume you know anything/everything to do with computers. Plus they lump things that aren't IT into IT.

And not just broad knowledge, but historic and insanely current, too. That computer from thirty years ago that is nothing like any machine today and for which there is no documentation; you know all about that thing, right? And this new technology that just released this morning while you were busy in a meeting and haven't even been to your desk yet, you've already studied it and have years of experience on it, right?

Here Here!

@travisdh1 yep...

@Danp a distro upgrade would likely be the easier approach. I'm performing this now on my system.

(first day back to work in 11-days!)

I had pretty good success with pfSense in the past. It features a built-in captive portal and guest vouchers. Stable, reliable and highly customizable. Plus there's no need for spezialized access points or wireless controllers.

I talked about pricing at this range recently.

There's also comprehensive data storage for Russian customers, allowing you to control via OU which staff data goes to servers located in Russia.

@larsen161 said in Copy Paste replacement tool:

It's been a couple years since using Windows on a regular basis but I know on ChromeOS and macOS Shift-Ctrl-V or Shift-Cmd-V gets rid of any formatting

Thanks I'll give that a try.

@scotth said in Has Anyone Built a Computer Controlled Model Railroad:

If I remember correctly, Tyco was a 'player' in the model railroading milieu at the time as well.

In the power boxes, yes, but not in the trains themselves I don't think.

@Dashrender said in What is FakeRAID?:

Did this pop up again at SW?

Again today, too. Apparently Lenovo is selling FakeRAID on their "servers" now along with all of the other problems. Of course, if a machine has FakeRAID, it's not a server by any normal definition.

WOW... just wow - as if they couldn't fall any further, and they find a way...
