    So the exclusions I've had to add to get everything "functional" are listed below.

    File System Shield

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\m_agent_upgrade.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\meraki-ca-bundle.crt

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\ndisscan.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\README-winvnc.txt

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\screenshot-cmd.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\windows-wlan.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Meraki\winvnc.exe

    Mail Shield

    Inbound Mail - Un-check 'Scan inbound mail (POP3, IMAP4)' (UltraVNC)

    Web Shield Process Exclusions
    The same processes as in File System Shield

    Cool. A few months back, I stumbled across MobaXterm and snagged it when I had a few extra bucks. I'll keep my eyes on RoyalTS for sure, though.

    Just checked MobaXterm and i really like it. My most favorite option as of now is the file explorer & shell on the same window. Helps me a lot if i need to edit some text files, copy files to and from the desktop etc at the same time while executing other commands.

    Best tip I ever had from an old sysadmin:

    Never spend more on booze than you do on groceries in a week. Try not to spend much less, either.

    When I lived in Dallas, we had a $400/wk liquor tab!!

    what would put me in a near comma.

    From memory,
    Install the printer on a server, install all driver versions needed for that printer.

    Even if you are setting up an IP direct printer, you can have GPOs tell the systems to pull the drivers from a server. There are 3-5 other GPO keys that you need to set to allow users to install printers as non admin.

    It's amazing how few customers most niche IT companies actually have. The number of products with thousands or more users are very few indeed.

    LTO is $8/TB. That would mean a 4TB drive with far better than RDX speed or reliability would need to be $32 for normal sizes and $64 for the biggest on the market. Tape looks to be like 1/10th the cost of drives.

    How much does the actual drive cost?

    Pretty sure it's driver related.

    I didn't get online last night, so I haven't checked to see if there is a new driver for Windows 10.

    Update with my topic. I stopped in the part where I need to add the servers information that I want to monitor.

    For now we have a lots of ongoing change of management in IT department.
    I'll get back with my project once I re-arrange my brain.

    I've replaced optical drive with SSD in 27 inch 2009 iMac. It required a conversion tray, iFixit has it for sale. They also have guides how to do it, step by step with pictures. And since yours doesn't have display fused with glass (2012 models and newer), it's fairly easy.
    I never bothered to enable TRIM, and I saw no side effects.

    The optical drive bay is 3GB/s ... did you keep your original hard drive?

    I'm debating doing a full swap to get the full 6GB/s.

    Yeah, some definitely will.

    I wonder what that will do against Virtualization platforms like XenServer, VMware, et al...

    if an lxc-container is functionally equivalent to a VM... Would it be possible to run Windows in an lxc-container... That type of thing.

    No, we've had those containers for a decade and we are nowhere near having Windows in them. They all share the parents' kernel by definition. So no Windows coming on Linux containers. Much closer to PV Windows on Xen, at least that has been done in a lab.

    What about Containerization on Windows? Didn't OpenVZ or Virtuozzo...used to offer something like that?

    You can, in theory, make Windows containers on Windows. But you have to be on Windows already.

    VGA just can't scale up to that. You need a digital output.

    I do not use alerts from any browser. That is nothing but an interruption. worse than a phone call IMO.

    I like what it does, or tries to do. Just a little note in the corner of my screen saying that something happened. If I look away I don't even realize that it happened. but the freezing isn't tenable.

    Yeah steam offered me 2FA, I haven't gotten around to it, but should.

    I think the bigger concern (from steam) is the threat of someone getting into your account, and gifting a ton of expensive games.

    Obviously this would be traceable, but difficult to prove that "You" didn't gift those items.

    @scottalanmiller I believe that's right, I used it a very long time ago, but can't remember the specifics of how we set it up.

    It does do a rather good job from what I remember.
