@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.

@thwr said in Can't cancel auto renew on godaddy domain:

@RojoLoco maybe, but ML is a bit more unique IMHO compared to the average forum.

Absolutely. I was just saying I'm glad that when we expose poor service publicly, many companies will then deal with the issue (vs phone / chat support where they run you around in circles and don't fix the issue).

Anyone ever try the products from Metalogix? If downloaded Essentials for Drives: File Shares to OneDrive Freemium, but I never received the activation code via email.

@scottalanmiller said in Skype for Business not saving chats:

It's still Office 2016. It's just now it is naming it in the installer to distinguish the license source. It remains just a licensing mode for the Office 2016 product.

Ah, got it.

So I asked the Mitel Vendor - can the 5000 do non 8 or 9 based outbound dialing. Here's the response.

Navigate to System/Devices and Feature Codes/Phones, open the extension that you want to not dial an 8. Flag it for “House Phone = Yes”. Then change both house phone day and night to “8”.

But, when you do that, you get

@Dashrender

is there a reason that isn’t the default?

@Vendor

Then you wouldn’t be able to intercom. When that phone goes off hook it immediately is accessing ARS.

All that is doing is forcing the phone to always "dial 8" basically. Maybe I will have to revise my opinion of Mitel down.

I have only ever wokred on it at a basic level helping others. I never had a client own a system. Well one client has a Mitel system, but we only do some custom software for them.

Yep, exactly - so yeah... dialing 8 or 9 is required.

@IRJ said in Rename Desktop Icon via GPP:

Duh!!! I can just delete and create a new one... LOL

This just means you have two entries in your GPO for while.

Yeah. I actually deleted some really old shortcut GPOs that are about a year old while I was in there. I can probably safely remove this after a month.

@scottalanmiller said in An eggplant could hijack bloatware:

@nadnerB that's shocking that Lenovo would want people to remove it.

I tend to agree - I'm surprised they care enough to tell people.

Did a service restart, let's see if that clears anything up.

@JaredBusch said in ZeroTier Question:

At the very core of it is a Linux kernel of some flavor, but that just used to load their own vmkernel.

No Linux at all. Never was. Long ago there was Linux in the host VM (Dom0 equivalent) but never in the ESX product itself. That was just a VM on top of ESX that provided a GUI. But that was removed long ago and now there isn't even that.

are you sending emails from a or other mx records on your domain? If not you dont need to include them. This should work ok for you
I also like hard fails, but others dont.

@Nic said in You Are Two:

Sounds like it was almost as bad as a frontal lobotomy.

I'd rather have a bottle infront of me

So just as an added piece of information: If you are using Digital Ocean or Vultr they disable SELinux by default to make it easier for their users (not saying it's right but I read in articles that was their logic). In order to enable it you need to install selinux-policy-targeted

On reboot SELinux will be enforcing.

I've used this, and it does work pretty well.
