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.

I did this one, installed my own cert into Outlook 2013 - my boss hated it - the little certificate icon made her think all of my emails were marked high priority.

@scottalanmiller do any of those support SSD caching?

No. The Drobo B1200i does SSD tiering. None of them do caching.

Original post has been updated to reflect the latest 0.9 release of the Minecraft Server.

If I have 50 users, but 75 computers and I want Office on all PCs, I need 75 licenses of FPP or VL.

Yes, Office I guess comes in all kinds of license models. With O365 it is by user with at least five devices for each user.

It does, that's good to know.

It should as well, but I've never tried the appliance. I've only built it from the source.
