@Minion-Queen said in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016:

@JaredBusch Hmmmmm Might have to go to CDW on that then?

They don't sell it, you can buy CALs and upgrades for the initial install you have to go with a provider/partner for dynamics that can help you with the installs. Microsoft provides no other purchasing avaune

Why no penguin power eh?

Using our SharePoint Online options, I have dumped our first week of Survey results into an Access DB. The data is there. And I know this sounds dumb, but what do I do with it now? Are there any SharePoint online options to customize the viewing of this data? Or do I just analyze the data in Excel? I just don't see a lot of useful "Hey, use me to do this" screaming at me on my SharePoint Online site.

It's a PlayStation drive?

@scottalanmiller said in Mitsubishi Outlander Wifi helps thiefs to steal your ride with gaft WiFi security hole:

I guess, but it is suddenly like saying that Playstations and XBOXes are "Internet of Things" now. I'm expecting new things like microwaves, windows, and such. I've had wifi by default thermostats for years, cameras, baby monitors... like a LONG time.

Yes, WiFi to your own local network, and perhaps you could create your own internet server to access them from. The difference today it the internet component.

I have found these guys but wondered ifanyone had recommendations:-

Saw this email when I got to work this morning.

I need an "I ❤ ZeroTier" tshirt to wear around.

That looks like a win if you didn't need any data from that system...

Export the Schema just in case, lol.

@anthonyh Just use Veeam Endpoint with the server on 😉

@scottalanmiller said in Shopping for hosting:

Define dedicated server hosting. I assume that you mean "a la Rackspace?" If so.... Rackspace!

Physical server which no one else uses. With a certain spec.

What other definitions are there? 🙂

People use the terms loosely. Some people mean VMs that aren't shared, like Digital Ocean. Some people mean managed servers that you lease, like Rackspace. Some people mean standard colocation where you provide the server, like Colocation America.

Everything is back I'm told..

With the exception of an AT&T company - Cricket. It's down bad...
No ETA for it either

@scottalanmiller just saw that again a few years ago. Well, kind of. Fujitsu remote workstation portal or something like that. Add-on PCIe card and a thin client. Works at least with W and R series Celsius workstations. Use case was to put your high end (CAD) workstations into your server room and transport everything over IP.

I know I'm a little late to this but I wanted to make sure you knew about SmartFile. We're a hosted Dropbox alternative that is a bit more turnkey than OwnCloud. Send me a message anytime if you would like more info about it, I would be happy to help. Best of luck with your search!

@Dashrender said in Tracking the origination of a shadow copy:

I suppose you could easy enough with an agent, thinking backups here.

Precisely. As the origination is the same machine and not the backup device, I guess that answers that.

@JaredBusch said in Power button on RDS:

I would just set the general RDS policy to log off disconnected sessions after XX seconds.

That's what we do.. Even idle sessions we disconnect.

I have been a BOINC user since 1998; started using seti@home my freshman year using an old compaq laptop with win95 on it. I now run 3 projects on my home network, seti@home, milkway@home, and Atlas@home, they run on my main pc (4930k and 32gb ram, amd r9 290) as well as an amd hexcore system that is much slower.

Ive only used it in an office environment once, at my last job when we got some new killer (at the time)hardware. Loaded up boinc/seti on dual proc dell server with 256GB ram, for 'testing' to make sure it could run at full load for periods of time. It was also fun to see how many work units it could do. My boss said 1 day was enough, so i uninstalled it.
These distributed computing tasks dont use much bandwidth, but they will run your cpu at max, and some of them eat up RAM (Atlas@home is one). There are settings to control all that.
However, running these on work systems is using company resources for personal stuff, unless your boss is huge into distributed computing and science and wants spare cpu cycles spent that way(havent met one yet that does),

In a similar situation. We've used APC for 1500VA or less, and Liebert/Emerson for 3000 for the last couple years but looking at Eatons and Tripp-Lites this time around as APC pricing seems to be a bit higher. Liebert pricing is very high all of a sudden.

Just a note that the rollup breaks some VMware networking, specifically VMXNet3 adapters.

@thwr said in Worth-while remote system administration tools - Preferably Open Source:

@scottalanmiller you already told me before, will check out NX. But as far as I understood, NX is creating new sessions like RDP?

It uses X11 under the hood. So yes.
