@Jason Forever? What the heck do you do? Legal stuff?

A class action lawsuit 15 years ago, they lost but the outcome of that was everyone in the industry now has to keep all data forever. (Not to mention what they said the companies where doing as they tried against about 10 companies was not illegal)

That's a hell of a burden on the company. Gross.

That's what starting new companies and killing off old ones is for. Things like that break the cycle.

and while I sure some many people will have 25 year old systems.... they seriously should not.

FTFY

@MattSpeller Cleared the leases file, first thing I thought of.

@Jason mmmm, cable porn

The setup you are describing falls under the category of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"

I was informed that he is about 20' from the router on Wireless, but that TWC is to be onsite today to setup / move the equipment and then he will be within 5' of it.

Just hope it's not to close and overloads the wireless radio's.

Be warned, testing IOPS requires overwriting the drives. So any test that tests your IOPS has to blow away your storage. If it doesn't, it's not even remotely a useful test. So think carefully before doing this on anything that isn't a fresh build.

But you can run it inside the OS that's on those drives without concern that that data already there will be damaged.

Sure... but since that doesn't test what is in question, there wouldn't be any point to that.

@Jason Acrobat Pro for $55 from techsoup.org for the win. I thought the only option was the creative cloud suite subscription. I missed the Acrobat Pro option.

Sumatra PDF has none of Adobe's BS. Clean installer and everything.

My preferred reader. Although I wish there was a way to add bookmarks to the pdfs.

Or lots of form fills and many other things that the PDF standard allows but Sumatra doesn't support. The reality is as much as Adobe sucks, if you use anything other than acrobat you will likely have some missing features

No question there. For basics Sumatra is awesome. As soon as you need more then Adobe is the way to go.

@Breffni-Potter That's helpful thanks. I'll check out my BIOS which I think is pretty locked down but we'll see.

We are using Xima Chronicall with our Avaya IP Office system. Looks like it works with ShoreTel but don't think NEC.

They also use colored ones to identify isolated ground circuits too.

yeah cause no one wants a nice shock from different in ground potentials.. well some people like getting shocked but not me.

Yeah, the standard docs said it was "by user" but were not super explicit. I can see where someone would make the ephemeral argument that it is not a "named user" but is a "user in the moment." But it is very clearly "named users", the CALs are assigned to an account. And each account gets unlimited concurrent connections. So in some ways it is more limiting, but overall it is far more freeing as you can have ten users but thousands of concurrents at any given time.

If you don't have white list of files/execuatbles they can always run http://thecramers.us/windows/prevent-windows-screen-timeout-and-sleep-mode-nosleep-exe/

Oh man - damn... I hope someone would get fired for running that. It clearly is defeating a company policy (at least in my case).

Looked at it a while ago, interesting technology but no clue where it would make sense to use.

Bug found, scheduled for release in 4.15

I think Landscape does this plus a lot more. I think it's free for 10 physical and 10 virtual machines, but I don't know the cost after that.

There are some Juju charms that you can create a Landscape setup with pretty easily.
