    This seem a bit side tracked from the original question. NUC for Lab Server.

    Those reviews don't look that great.

    People who usually write reviews are either those who want to pass it forward... and those who don't have anything else better to do, or pissed off customers who said manual transmission is faulty because it doesn't shift gears by itself. or DOA.

    When reading reviews make sure you read back at most 6 months. Most likely you will not get the same product from the same batch reviewer received.

    Not really much use for them.. neat but not that useful, more likely to block RF if you put it where the boxes would be. And given this has a switch in it too more likely to fail from heat build up.

    When I saw them they were using a hotel as an example. Each room could have its own wifi access that would be turned on and off for guests.

    And they have PoE out for the desk phone in the room.

    Before this script will run properly, you have to use curl and a valid account to acquire a cookie to pass with the script, as well.

    You need to upgrade your ERL to firmware 1.8 to get the full traffic analysis capabilities in the GUI.

    Whats the best way to jump in and out of containers @johnhooks?

    Either lxc-attach or lxc-console. Console gives you Norma console type access. Attach just drops you into root in the root folder.

    You'll need lxc+-attach to set up sudo and everything

    yeah, but $500 is 40% less than that. I could give up 2 years worth of warranty and move to a ProDesk 400MT for $599 for an i5, with 4 GB RAM

    Sure, but you aren't comparing against thin clients.

    LOL - now mind you it's been years since I looked at thin clients, they were $299/ea on average from HP and other big name thin client providers, and that was without a monitor.

    Thin clients definitely aren't cheap.

    Yes... but what about the RDS Server cost, the RDS CALs, the management overhead....

    Like I said, ain't cheap $299 isn't cheap - especially when you compare all the other stuff needed to make Thin Clients work compared to a desktop PC.

    Even if you take my listed HP at $599, you'll be hard pressed to get a Thin Client solution in place for less than $599 per station when you consider the MS licensing, the server hardware, etc.

    I would never use Microsoft specifically because the licensing

    You were thinking Linux terminal server?

    Yes if possible. I have no experience with it. NOTE: I did put this in my original post as well

    I missed that. That's better, still crazy, but better 🙂

    Can't do Zero Clients with that generally.

    Better to be less crazy than all crazy I say

    Nope, that's doin' something. You could stop the VMs and copy them manually somewhere else, but I don't think Hyper-V (just like ESXi and XS) doesn't have a built-in backup solution. You have to use another backup solution, and you can't do that on the management VM, cause that's doin' somethin' and would use a VM license.

    Technically XS does 😉

    OH - OK I know most use XO - but I think Dustin was using something else before that...

    Yes, NAUBackup.

    So if the form is submitted and then the receiver prints it out and deletes it, the information moves across the internet and is protected by SSL, but the data isn't sitting in a google account that can get hacked. (forcing 2 factor would be even better)

    You really just need an online HR service provider to handle this.

    Don't ask me.. it's what he told me - so I just walked away and really didn't put any more thought into it.

    But his thought was that you can't acquire the AP over wireless.

    He has a greenfield setup.

    But in thinking more about it... he's going to have to plug into the network no matter what for at least the first AP. After that he should be fine all wireless.

    We use LogMeIn.. seems slow. Granted I rarely use it anyway since I'm on the network/server side.

    You know, I rarely had slowness issues - though for the past year I haven't been able to do remote control from the browser, instead I have to use the installed client to connect and do remote control.

    A minor PITA after using and launching solely from the browser.
