    Use lvs once it is all set up to see what it is doing. I'm not sure exactly how it configures on top of LVM.

    Those things are a beast. I spoke to my brother this week and he mentioned that he found his still running... he pulled it out of the trash about 8 years ago. All it needed was a paper tray.

    Pro-tip - get rid of them ASAP

    They blow carcinogenic toner particles all over your office and then you breathe that garbage in and get lung cancer.

    Oh okay, probably on the legacy system still then. In that case, what you are looking to do is better done with...

    I guess it depends what your time is worth if you want to try to script something.

    Scripting isn't about trying to save money. Doing the script cost way more in time than what that thing costs. Scripts are way more flexible than a program. You can add more variables and even pass off arguments to other systems.

    Also a script, once completed, can be replicated for no additional outlay of time beyond deployment. So it can scale to every Windows device needed in this case.

    @Jason said in Lanier LD117 scan uploads are slow when NetBIOS disabled on remote share:

    This is not a NetBIOS issue then..

    While you might have assumed I said that it was, The symptom only showed itself after this change was made. Before the user went on vacation and while she was gone, the only change that was made was that NetBIOS was disabled, and DNS added to the printer along with putting FQDN in the SMB paths for the fileshare location.

    I like the ability of a OneNote document, hosted in SharePoint, but don't like the lack of organization of it. I like Wiki's for documentation, because you can browse the wiki, copy/paste to/from it without accidentally deleting content. Once multiple people have their hands on a shared OneNote, in my opinion, it just becomes to easy to accidentally delete something.

    That's one of the reasons why I'm looking for a 100% client-side wiki that just uses HTML5/JS. Just place that into a SharePoint doclib/dropbox/whatever

    Not a bad idea.

    Plus we don't need any proprietary software like OneNote, just a modern browser. Don't get me wrong, OneNote is a great tool, but I would like to have a wiki for my core documentation / admin KB.

    But no tool found thus far?

    Still checking available projects.

    For a super simple no VPNs network, the USG works great, pretty straight forward and has some nice pictograms in the Controller.

    The issue I ran into was a VPN tunnel between two endpoints that both had static IPs. This just didn't work. A few people have posted their work arounds on my UBNT thread about putting the IP into the JSON config file and not using the GUI to enter the static IPs and have it work.

    The door to door salesman normally don't even work for the ISP they work in conjunction with the ISP in order to sell contracted services at higher rates. These guys work purely off commission in most cases so they're pretty good liars as well. CenturyLink is the old qwest... they weren't good either. It's really shitty service here in Denver with abnormally high downtime and poor speeds. They do the same thing the cable providers do and over stuff trunks.
