We do this for my family. The really nice features are that we can do family to family calling at zero cost and never hit the PSTN at all. Leaving a connection open full time is no problem whatsoever. And you can video chat very easily, too.
Downsides is no one wants to deal with an extra thing to make calls on. Even for free.
If you are trying to update the firmware on the raid card my best suggestion would be to do it through the lifecycle controller. Reboot the server and during post after the Dell splash screen in the top right corner you will see some option via key commands. Hit F10 to boot to system services. Once you've entered the system services/lifecycle controller environment you should be in the gui with a list of options on the left. Choose platform update, follow the on screen instructions to update the firmware for all the components you want, specifically the raid card. I haven't heard of drives being blocked before and I don't know the specifics of the drives you bought, but any we sell should be compatible with what I am assuming is and H-Series raid card you should have in your system.
I got it working. My boss changed the name of the SMTP service to HOLDSMTP then when he changed it back it broke the patch. I pulled my from my backup then reinstalled the patch and everything is working.
Yeah... that's how they used to do all of it. Maybe they still do. That would make stats on a tech forum totally wrong as IT people don't have toolbars installed, normally.
Well where the heck are all those visits coming from, then??
I've heard that you can use the Android Studio to do this, but I haven't had time to test it at home, and at work, it doesn't work because I run Hyper-V, lol.
Have you considered a USB over IP type product? I've just been made aware of them and haven't had a chance to use one yet... but basically it is a USB connection with a Network card, and whatever server you want to use it has to run a software package to do so...
MS stops officially supporting 2013 April of 2018. However has extended service until 2023. Will the Volume License of it still stay active as 0ffice 2013 until 2023?
There may be downgrade rights included with the VL license. They were included from 2013 to 2010 and 2007.
Yes - It does appear that you can downgrade 2016 - but now looking for how.
Downgrade has always been on the shoulders of the end user to acquire media for installation. That said, if you have a VL license, you can download the older media from the VLSC website still.
