Did I ask for something? confused

You were about to, perhaps?

LOL - I do want to stand up for me myself personally, but I haven't been overly motivated. I'm such a minimal user though that I'm guessing that once it's up, I'd never touch it again (outside of updates) so it wouldn't be a great learning thing.

Necessity being the mother of invention and all. 😉

@Carnival-Boy

It depends how the ticket is received.

Most come through via email, so they are all delivered to a mailbox on 365 first, then forwarded to FreshDesk. This way I capture for certain that the request was or was not submitted with the original details and I capture the replies.

If they fill in a ticket via the web portal, that is a bit trickier.

WHAT?!?!

About 250 users and 14 sites

So I have have limited success.. but success was made. I the user I created on the other end,.. is now on the local AD.

I'll look at this more,.. but think it's otherwise solved.

Got to say just made two calls to Microsoft Licensing to get the KMS keys for windows 10 and Server 2012 for the KMS server and both calls took 5 minutes each and keys added with no issues and as I watched the screen 😄

That was my experience as well - it was super easy.

Thanks everyone!

@IRJ yes.

You could purchase an OEM and do the same. It's called imaging rights and it's included with your VL license.

I use it to deploy Windows 7, 8.1 and 10 to my workstations.

OEM windows licenses come with all of my PCs. I bought 1 (really I bought 5) Windows Pro licenses with SA. this grants me the right to create deployable images of the same version of Windows as the OEM license grants me.

*runs off to update Gitlab.

Looks like it's not tied to the IP address itself, nowdays but a virtual IP. Which the way we did our rescoping was to add a second NIC so that mapping was lost (if we had just changed it on the primary NIC it would have been fine, but caused other issues). Anyway we can't just add this back because SAP destroys the licence if it detects this changed. We have to wait for a new file from SAP..

Medicare discovers that the company only pays like $30 to make the product

Does that include the millions or even billions you have to pay for FDA bribes (I mean trials)?

You mean more doctors who just line their own pockets?

No the bureaucrats who actually make the decisions in the FDA.

The FDA is made up of doctors though..that's why I said line their pockets/.

The Commissioner is appointed by the President. Consumer Safety Officers do the investigations and inspections.

Two of the guys from the big scandal in 89 were just chemists, but are still public employees (so it doesn't matter whether they are an MD or not).

Debit is significantly cheaper to the merchant. If you want to do your part to lower prices, use debit always.

I completely know where this is coming from - but do you think enough people are doing this to make the vendor lower their prices? and even if enough people were doing it, would the vendor lower prices or instead just keep the extra profit?

Around here about 2 years after gas prices started to sky rocket, delivery companies added hefty fuel surcharges. Now that fuel has gone down have they dropped them, or even reduced them? uh nope.

Evil Corp Inc. around here actually did

yeah I'm going more with JB on this one - I think if you asked the general public about Bit torrent, assuming they even know what it was, they would say it was for piracy more than anything else.

I am also checking https://www.graylog.org/ as this seems to be pretty famous and looks like a good alternative to ELK if anyone else looking at it.

Graylog is built on the same foundation as ELK. They are both log ingesting and interfaces applied on top of Elasticsearch.

Have you tried Graylog?

No, on my long list of things to build.

hmm, maybe - we offer full support for trials, so that you can both get problems fixed and try out our support staff. It's worth at least giving them a call. After all, you'll never have more leverage than you do before you buy their product 🙂

Going to release version 2.0 tonight I hope 🙂

Thirty days to evacuate colo is rough!

I thought their Wordpress was compromised and a link changed to a bogus ISO. You're saying their own repos were serving a bad image?

Their repo had a bad image uploaded to it from the blog post.
