Correct you do have QoS. It is on the VLAN, that contains the voice devices.

So the following is an incorrect assumption.

@scottalanmiller said in Time to gut the network - thoughts?:

You might want to LEAD with.... since we discovered that QoS was not set up properly and has never been a problem we can assume that QoS and ensuring call quality cannot be the reason.

Let them come up with a reason if you head that off at the pass.

No, it's correct. They didn't do their jobs properly. They neither did the sensible, cost effective thing for the business, which would have been to not have a VLAN at all. Nor did they properly do QoS for your VoIP traffic.

So no matter what, they didn't set up QoS correctly for you.

@scottalanmiller said in When management uses IT to solve people problems:

I say this constantly. So often IT seems to be used (or feels like it should be) acting as some kind of weird HR department that works by disabling functionality rather than addressing employee problems. And when you ask why IT doesn't do what HR should do, they don't have the authority. When asked why HR doesn't fix the problem, we are told that HR doesn't care (which means that management doesn't care.) Which makes me wonder... why does IT care when the business does not?

But IT doesn't care, in these case IT's just doing what management told them to do.

Actually, most of the time when I see this, IT cares way, way too much. There are times when it is just foolish management, but very rarely do I actually see that without IT at least encouraging it if not doing it unilaterally.

OK I'll admit I used to be guilty of that, but much less so these days.

@BRRABill said in Phone Photography - 4:3 Vs. 16:9 and the Dreaded Vertical Position:

@scottalanmiller said

It's amazing how many good photos are ruined by this. It makes so many things unwatchable. Videos are so much worse than photos. Photos you can excuse sometimes, there are times that you can do that. But not with videos, at no time is vertical video okay.

I'm confused by your statement in the context of this thread.

Are you saying you are OK with the quality hit to keep it in 16:9?

No, I'm talking about the resulting pictures. If there is a phone problem that it is not doing 16:9 well, do 4:3 and crop it if you want to display it.

I get texts and iMessages from the same person intermingled on my iPhone.

I got it working. For some reason I needed to use the 32 bit agent on my 64 bit systems.

You download the agent from:
http://www.zabbix.com/download.php

extract the zabbix_agentd.exe to a folder like c:\zabbix
in the c:\zabbix folder create a file called:
zabbix_agentd.win.conf
The file needs to contain:
Server=xx.xx.14.212 #the IP address of your Zabbix server
ServerActive=xx.xx.14.212 #the IP address of your Zabbix server
Hostname=yourinternalservername #the name here has to match the name that you configure on the Zabbix server

once you save the file you run:
c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.exe --config c:\zabbix\zabbix_agentd.win.conf --install
net start "zabbix agent"

If you open services.msc you should see the Zabbix service and it should be running.

oracle 11g express edition - will this have Db or we need to link any sql db here

Yeah, sadly MT has very, very few users and is totally unique as a product so there is almost no third party support for it.

I hate that we do CC through a website instead of a piece of hardware.... Makes it a lot harder to "comply"

Used the local admin account to bind, and GAL address autocompletion works in Evolution and Thunderbird. So, thats good. Now to create that dummy account...

@dafyre said in need help with Zabbix server:

Could always start over and follow JB's guide. May be a bit easier.

Not a bad idea. Have a solid baseline and know what the set up is.

Windows Defender... works well enough and is included with the operating system.

Seems a bit like...

@DustinB3403 said in Simple Basic eMail providers:

Is the question really "Can I send / receive email without an SMTP server?"

No - I know that much.

Looking for a simple basic web based email provider, that isn't Google, O365, Yahoo (puke) etc.

So you just want web mail? I think that everyone provides that these days. I'm not aware of anyone that does not.

@scottalanmiller said in SMTP is Email so what is the mail you get from logging?:

@DustinB3403 said in SMTP is Email so what is the mail you get from logging?:

So the alerts are meant to be delievered via SMTP, therefore they are "email files" without the SMTP portion. Hence they are email.

There is no such thing. You can't just call all text files "email". If you do, literally everything is email. So the term is now lost. Go pick up your email from the dry cleaners so you can be home in time to eat your email for dinner.

hahahah I laughed way to hard when I read that on my phone!

Any recommendations for a RHCSA/RHCE book? I've found a few on Amazon but really would like to get serious about getting the RHCE.

Got it.

So after you have postgres installed, you can just install the package for your distro.

From that, you run a few commands (of course these are strewn all about) and then reload the config (or reboot the host) and you can sign in.

I wonder if this means adwcleaner cannot be used for business use unless you purchase Malwarebytes endpoint.

Acquisition alone doesn't mean any change. They have to make the change in the licensing.
