@Carnival-Boy said in Backing up Office 365 mailboxes:

Has anyone been involved in an e-discovery action?

I have never implemented an e-mail retention policy. I really should. A quick Google brings up this document https://www.theemaillaundry.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Email_Retention_UK.pdf, which says:

Is your company in a heavily regulated industry that has existing data retention requirements? Outside of regulations
governing certain industries, the answer is usually a bit nebulous in terms of defining clear retention periods. In the US For
SEC- and FINRA-regulated firms, Rule 17a-4 of the Securities and Exchange Act requires retention of emails for at least three
years, with the first two years stored in an easily accessible place. In the UK the Financial Services Authority (FSA) regulates
financial services providers. The FSA's regulations require all financial institutions to store all business emails sent and
received for up to six years, and some emails indefinitely, so that cases can be reviewed.
But outside of financial services, there is no universal law for document retention. The only far-reaching requirement is to
preserve documents, emails and information when a company is on notice of pending litigation (per FRCP(US) CRP(UK)). At
this point, a “litigation hold” must be implemented to retain information the company reasonably believes is discoverable in
anticipated litigation. However, email retention requirements vary from industry to industry and from case to case.

I'm in Manufacturing, which doesn't appear to be regulated. I believe any retention policy should centre around less is more, ie delete as much e-mail as you can legally get away with to reduce your exposure during e-discovery. So on those grounds, I think I should be actively NOT backing up e-mail and should NOT use GFI to archive e-mail or purchase licences for O365 legal hold. I believe O365 retains deleted mail for a maximum of 30 days which covers you for accidents and malware but not much else.

Then again, should I be losing any sleep over this when the next President of The US gets away with just using Hotmail?

Any views?

That's pretty much my feelings on it. I think our retention here is two years. At which point it auto-deletes!

@dafyre said in Windows Server 2016 - Discrete GPU:

I never quite gleaned from the article whether it was you could only pass 1 VM per GPU, or if you could do GPU sharing and let multiple VMs use the same GPU?

I haven't read the entire thing, so I may be mistaken. They were talking about two different modes of GPU pass through. One mode where you have 1GPU to 1VM, and another one where you can share 1GPU with many VM.

@dafyre said in SSL query:

I'm still unsure why companies will no longer issue certs for .local domains. It seems to me that complicates things for those of us who are stuck with them for a while longer.

What I've heard some folks wanting to do is make their internal domains something like int.mydomain.com, which isn't really all that terrible... but it can complicate things if you want to use an external web host that expects some level of control over DNS.

Since they don't work on the internet, why do you need a CA to issue it? Stand up your own internal CA, publish the root via GP to your clients and go to town.

vssadmin add shadowstorage /for=e: /on=e: /maxsize=100GB

did the trick. I had to use command line since this a Hyper-V core install.

@Dashrender None of the other machines on the domain take that long to log in. If they did, there are tricks you can use to speed up your printer deployment.

I spend about 5 minutes a week adding a few domains to a blacklist. Not a big deal. My spam service is just fine, I'm talking about a few emails a week getting through. I would like to get it to 0 though I doubt that is possible. Gmail seems to be the best at spam blockage, wonder what they are doing.

This email address has existed since the mid 90's(company around since 1984) honestly every single spammer in the world probably has it. [email protected]. The fact that less than 10 spam messages/week get through mean the filters work well I think.

The big spam shops(NYC mostly as SAM says, if you believe their addresses in the sig) do send out emails with slightly different email address domains, all the time.
Had one that was always getting through, baddomain.com, I blacklisted it, two weeks later it was bad-domain.com

@IRJ - click on the yellow where it says /dev/sda5 and see if the "Resize/Move" button works - otherwise you'll have to unlock it somehow, which I think GParted can do but I don't know how.

What error did it give with the GUI installer?

Just a blank screen. Didn't bother with trying to work out boot options to get the normal installer working since text mode works.

I've had this. You have to close XenCenter and reopen it. Sometimes moving to other tabs and tabs in other VMs works too. No idea what causes it

We have a gigabit sysmetrical connection. Sadly even if I run a speed test in the middle of the night it's only going to show 100-200mbps.

Isn't the goal of Inkling to eliminate PDFs? 😁

grr stupid requirements clients.

FTFY.

Maybe this? https://github.com/angelabair/SBU101

Yeah..... it may but I'm not willing to send it over to a client if things are going to be shifty.

I'll tell the client that they are stupid to have this requirement before compromising our integrity.

@FATeknollogee said in WordPress on A2Hosting.com:

Good deal.
What did you end up with, the Turbo package?

No, just the regular hosting. The SWIFT package.

It looks like we'll be going with RC.

Ties in with Outlook, and simple / cheap.

@Jason They are giving some practice or giving class in the HTML and CSS then they will hire that person by his performance

Instead of using a portfolio? That doesn't sound legit.

@John-Nicholson They are supposed to be from the PM series (PM853T).

Why aren't you just using one or the other system for students since they're both free?

Because he likes to overcomplicate things apparently.

Only some times.

No, this is a decision made before I ever got here... and as others have mentioned, I have no idea why it is like this, but I know of several schools who do so... It's mind boggling.

I pushed the school I worked at off of GApps pretty fast so I would only have to support one platform.

I wish I had that kind of clout here. At my last job, our students would have gone into open rebellion had we disabled Google. I actually wanted to push everybody to Google, but there was some political crap going on that I wasn't privy to.

Even pushing the students to GApps and staff on O365 is better than the bastardization you're fighting with.

lol. Yeah. The problem is that the students get licensed for O365 and local installs of Office... but... To get to them, they must have a MS-Account. /sigh.

@gjacobse said in Adobe Reader DC printing black bars after Anniversary update:

Check for the Print Driver.

I had a printer do this years ago (Windows 2000) I aptly named it my Government driver as everything was blacked out. All the text on the Windows Printer Test pages appeared to have been Redacted.

We've tried three different printers and printing to the Windows 10 PDF Print Driver - all have the same results.

It's not all PDFs either, maybe a third of them.

Is it 1/3 if you print the same document 3 times, or does a document that gets 'redaction lines' always get them?

1080p was cheap in 2012.
