That was a great, very detailed, explanation of the what, but I'm actually rather interested in the method of determining how many are needed for specific tasks. Another article, possibly?

@scottalanmiller I was planning on it

@Minion-Queen will, I'm sure, have input here but is out sick today.

How do I down vote that without giving a neg 😛

Draw it out so you can better understand what you want to do. Because you don't.

Yeah just exclude the whole folder that they do their dev work in and that should take care of it.

I just spoke with my manager, the CEO, and it is set for upgrade in Q3.

Sigh - OK apparently I was adding the account in the wrong way.
Inside Outlook
File > Account Settings > Account Settings > choose your account and click change > More settings > Advanced Tab > Add > type in the name of the account.

Instead I was adding another account at the root level, the same as my own account under
File > Account Settings > Account Settings

Here is an article I found that helped me fix it.

To boot they don't know how to update the macro to work in LibreOffice.

That's like learning anything new. Heck even version upgrades where things change 😉

If you ever need high quality cables that just work right every time:

If you need bulk or cheap cable that usually works alright:

You bet, and thanks for signing up. Always great to have new people joining us.

We do have all our users being Sync'd to Office365 at the moment with the sync tool, would that work?

Azure AD is what Office 365 uses behind the scenes. O365 hosted products are all on Azure.

Microsoft Service Center includes this functionality right from Microsoft.

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff460960.aspx

So that requires System Center - not exactly a SMB product.

I think you will find LANDesk to be similar in price.

@Dashrender said:

Agreed - that means it's about as expensive as you can get. Not just upgrading one piece of equipment (the firewall) instead you have to upgrade every Windows device that will use it.

And you are stuck with Windows, you need it everywhere. Those Macs, Linux machines, NAS devices and more are all cut off. You lose a lot of options.

So Chrome allows you to join and save the default application to open the session. Firefox still asks for the exe every time, save run, etc. I guess I will be using Chrome for screenconnect. Thanks for the help, Jared.

As, I showed above, I did it in FireFox also.

And, one that SMBs never seem to see but I've seen a lot in the enterprise, is a failing memory chip can cause crazy stuff to happen.

Man, trouble shooting that has to be a huge pain!

Thankfully ECC memory tends to catch it. Have it happen without ECC memory and you are in deep doo doo. It can cause ANYTHING to happen. Random crashes and file corruption are most common, but the scary things are time leaps, miscalculations, and things like that.

Is there a log when ECC does it's job?

Yes, in the ILO on a Proliant.

That's very interesting as this is a ProLiant by chance. Good to know. I'm going to run a lot of tests tomorrow. It's a very odd issue. Too much to do and not enough time to do it 🙂

I think it still runs Linux, so yo could probably do most of that. However that kind of defeats the purpose of being centrally managed.

VyOS, it is extremely capable. We've been on VyOS or its parent Vyatta for a very, very long time.

Ya EdgeMax is, does the USG run VyOS?

Yes, they all do the same stuff under the hood.

Ok, I didn't realize that. But like I said, I think needing to dig into the cli on the USG kind of defeats the purpose of having everything centrally managed by the controller.

I thought I mentioned it's not about fully managing, it's more about the reports/graphs.

Yes it's a bit more expensive...

Ah I missed that.

I've never understood how viruii got around AV products on machines running them. It's my understanding this is somehow possible because of other unpatched flaws in the OS, even though the AV knows about the virus, the virus can still get in through the OS flaw, then using that flaw disable the AV, and pwn the machine.

Do I understand that incorrectly?

It's normally through another piece of software than the OS today actually. Microsoft finally got most of the holes in their swiss cheese plugged. Ironically, the programming code that many AV use also creates a hole for malware to enter through. Wish I had a few minutes to find those articles that hit recently.

yeah I read those too - darn AV companies!
