This is plain Xen + their own home-made "secret" toolstack (built year after year).

They also implement features on their side, sometimes valuable stuff, sadly it seems there is a lack of sharing. And because Xen is GPL and not aGPL, they are not forced to give it back.

Sometimes, you see Xen people developing a feature which is already working in Amazon. That's a bit sad when you have to do things twice, but you know, big corps...

Can you manage drive based encryption from a network?

Something like Bitlocker you can manage from AD, but you're back to the management issue mentioned earlier.

What management issue?

I know some places around us use this:
http://wave.com/products/wave-self-encrypting-drive-management

That's what I use for my users' SEDs, but I manage it all at the machine level. (I think you need 20 machines or something for it to start making sense financially.)

Though it looks like from the home page that company is in turmoil. Not sure if what is happening is good or bad.

What Hypervisor?

Hyper-V, server is 2012.

VMQ is often the culprit for slow network stuff... Especially if you have Intel or Broadcom NICs in the server...

on the Hyper-V server... from the powershell command prompt, try:

get-netadaptervmq|disable-netadaptervmq

That will disable VMQ on all of the network adapters in the server. It generally doesn't cause a noticeable disconnection on the servers, but you know how that goes... be careful, lol.

I disabled that on the VM itself.. I can't do that on the host if there is going to possibly cause a disconnect on the VMs. There's like 25 production VMs that are up.

But disabling that on the VM itself did nothing if that's where I was supposed to run it.

No, this has to be run from the host... It usually doesn't cause a disconnect that users will notice. But you raise another point though... The server was fast before adding MDT.

Exactly...

Here is a report of the amount of memory used percentage wise. 0_1465927500399_chrome_2016-06-14_14-03-52.png

I'm very surprised that it is using that much. It's not a terrible amount, calls use essentially nothing. but it is a bit high.

This is imagination only.I am having one friend from my childhood.Once I grew up i lost the phone number of him and email id of him.Now i am searching with his name but i am unable to make him as friend as he has blocked the friend request from new friends.I am unable to contact him with the messages,as he is not responding for my message.I tried to get the mail id of the person.But the mail id is showing as x***[email protected] anyone help me to find the mail id or the phone of my friend to communicate further

You aren't in contact with any of the same people? That seems strange to me.

You could run even a GUI DC of Windows Server on a 2GB of Ram box with low processor resources and it will be fine as a DC.

I keep my KeepassX database in DropBox, but my actual key file is not there.

I've not used a Keyfile,.. only a 'decently long complex' password.

I do both just because I'm paranoid. My password is only 15 characters, but with the key file I think it helps. That way even if someone gets my database they can hammer the database with passwords all they want but it won't matter.

You could also easily do an nslookup to confirm these records. Just make sure you set the type to txt, on Windows at least.

I'm lost, why do you need to worry about that? If they care that much, they can click on weather and type in their own city.

Hell, if you want to not worry about it all, just remove it from your image, problem solved. 🙂

Pretty fluff to make the user base happier about the switch. I dont want to spend resources supporting it (Most users cant figure out stuff like that), so if i cant automate it im probably going to remove it.

Thanks guys. I just wont worry about it. I had seen some reports of high usage, but have not deployed fully and monitored to confirm.

Here's the printer they want, and it has no display.

http://www.brother-usa.com/Printer/ModelDetail/1/HLL2305W/Overview

Well looks like they won't be able to use it unless they use WPS.

You will not be able to print to a wireless printer that is not already on a wireless network. Almost none of them broadcast their own network until they are ON an existing network. You will not be able to just move a printer around. That is not the design for printers.

Yeah I figured as much. The setup has to go to NYC.

Here is a list of supported Brother printers for Google's Cloud Print Service, which according to Brother supports direct printing from Google's Cloud, no local PC required
0_1465848143909_print.png

The HL-L2305W is on that list. The problem is original setup. I'm guessing that the printer has to be configured via a PC to talk to the WiFi and a google account.

Every printer in that diagram is carefully shown to have a PC sitting on its LAN. They specifically never show one without a local PC. Are you confident that no local PC is needed?

Not in every case, but yes, I know it can work with no PC on the same LAN as the printer. I've setup other printers that have a display, using that display you setup a connection with a google account, then you print via the cloud.

Im in the process of upgrading all of our servers to hardware based LSI Cards. They are not cheap, and are a little UI unfriendly, but we have not had a single problem with them and when I had questions during configuration (Because their UI sucks), their support answered immediately and gave me all the information I needed. LSI Cards are nice, the central RAID management is awesome and reduces maintenance costs

So the YeaLink phones are the better route? The W52P model? Grandstream also makes a few wireless DECT phones as well.

IMO, Grandstream is the bottom of the barrel on quality in the VOIP world. They are super cheap and often the quality suffers because of it. I know tons of hobby VoIP people love them because of the cost.

I love Yealink because of the combination of their price and quality.

There are certainly cheaper phones and there are certainly higher quality phones.

But Yealink hits that sweet spot of solid quality for reasonable cost.

That's good info, thanks. I've been working with Grandstream for a little while now and they just came out with a new firmware that revamped their interface and seemed to improve the UI a lot. However, I have no complaints about Yealink either. I haven't used their DECT phones yet, but their price is very similar compared to the VTech phones. I believe a vendor recommended this VTech phone a few months ago, but I haven't really done any research on it. Glad I asked.
