      We have a local facility that will shred drives for $5.

      Same here. They are coming next week to remove some old, Dinosaur age storage boxes... which have MANY drives in each. Worth it every time.

      Just shut down the VM and make a backup of the Virtual Disk holding the VM?

      Exactly, no matter what here, until you can get access not ONLY to the OS but also to the application, that's your only option.

      @Pete-S have you thought of selling it? there is a big market right now for getting rid of old/unused hardware. Especially if you have any SSD's in there.

      Thanks, but we're keeping it. Just want to extract the maximum value out of it while it's occupying rack space 🙂

      https://github.com/sorvani/freepbx-helper-scripts/blob/master/Extensions_to_Yealink_AddressBook/ylab.php is still working as of 11.3.2022. My FreePBX extension names contained the "&" which is a reserved symbol in XML and will throw an error in the script. If you run into this, the fix is below.

      Simple fix is to edit this line:
      echo " <Name>" . $extension['description'] . "</Name>\n";

      to this:

      echo " <Name>" . htmlspecialchars($extension['description']) . "</Name>\n";

      Get-Service -ComputerName pc1, pc2 SERVICE | Select name, MachineName, Status

      Where did you get the -ComputerName syntax from?

      I can't find anything like that from the manual: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-service?view=powershell-7.2

      OK, it's been deprecated. It's available in older versions of powershell, up to 5.1.

      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-service?view=powershell-5.1

      I read somewhere it doesn't use powershell remoting but dcom instead. And that's why it became obsolete.

      Maybe you haven't got the right dcom privileges to run it remotely.

      Say what now? I'm reading this:

      https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/managing-services?view=powershell-7.2

      I'd put one script on each remote computer and have it send an email whenever the service stops. Or check whatever it is you really want to know with the service.

      Sadly, we already monitor the service. I can be 'running' but fail and need to be stop/started. We've also already done the scheduled task route where it checked it ever 15 min and stop/started it. But there are still times it needs to be manually stop/started. And this is 10x better then what they were doing when I started last year....

      OK, so the script is part of something you actually use to restart it when you decide to?

      Yes - while I would like to solve it with PS,.. my batch script works fine. I just figured with all that I am / have been doing with PS,.. why not convert it to PS and go one.

      Now - if there is another way to accomplish this - I'm open to learning. It's what I'm applying with PS - learning.

      @Pete-S said in Alternative to never in stock Ubiquiti EdgeMax line:

      I don't know if that is the case with Ubiquiti but some products in their line sure looks like it.
      Looking at the number of employees working at Ubiquiti versus their revenue, also suggests that (most?) of their products are not designed in-house. That's just speculation of course.

      Well the Edge line, and this is me guessing, is likely third party hardware that they buy (that's pretty easy) and they basically use an open source OS barely modified. They were half public about that when they started, so it kinda made sense with that line. No idea if they continued that with Unifi and others.

      Well, they started with RF-based products so they have that expertise in-house.

      It would make sense that their wifi products are developed by themselves and manufactured by OEMs while the rest are ODM products.

      That's the quickest way to expand the product range. Otherwise you need a ton of employees. From the info online they're only about 1000 employees worldwide.

      I don't know if ubuntu has a similar cloud kernel.

      Update: It looks like there is a linux-kvm kernel amongst others. Haven't tried it though.

      BTW, in Debian/Ubuntu and other distros the different kernels are often referred to as kernel flavors. Good to know if you want to search for them.

      @gjacobse

      OK, I checked now and the GX420T and GX430T is the same printer but with different dpi print heads.

      If you can tell the application that prints to print differently depending on which printer you are printing to, everything will be fine.

      If you can't, you have to replace those two GX430T printers with GX420T models.

      Or put another way - if you want to have printers that are drop-in replacements for each other, you need to buy just GX420T printers (or other 203 dpi models).

      @scottalanmiller said in ssh to new cloud instance?:

      @Pete-S said in ssh to new cloud instance?:

      If you add another admin in the cloud control panel, is an account for that user created on all cloud instances that person can access?

      In Vultr, there aren't users in the cloud panel at all. There are keys that you can choose to deploy at deploy time for root. Other than that, if we wanted to deploy keys (as an example), we'd do that through our management system (script, Salt, Ansible, etc.). I would not want the cloud platform to be touching my users.

      OK, got it.

      Does that also mean that only one person can have access to the actual Vultr account as well? I'm guessing it's multi-user.

      Yeah, the cloud level is multi-user. But just as you can have multiple people with access to a data closet, and multiple people with access to a Windows instance housed in that closet, you don't want the physical closet to maintain the Windows logins. Same here, your cloud provider is like a data center or data closet with its own level of access unrelated to applications or other workloads running higher up the stack and 99.999% of the time, no association or commonality between them.

      You don't need "development" for me to tell you that I want enormous screens with high resolutions, lol. I just need them to be affordable and available.

      @JaredBusch said in Tenant disabling of Basic Auth cause OAUTH iPhone to break:

      Disabling of Basic Auth should have done nothing.

      If the security setting are changed on an account it makes sense to force users to reauthenticate. It might even be best practice.

      I think it works the same on other providers.

      But there should be some better mechanism regarding authentication in ios and android.
