It appears that you are running this via powershell and not cmd. Is that correct?
(Just thought I'd double check)

Yes via CMD

@gjacobse no sweat m8

That's one of 4 reports it gives us. I hate to toot their horn for free but they're a pretty skookum unit. We also have a temp/humid sensor additionally attached so in the screen cap below thats the internal temp and we put the other sensor on the top of the rack so we get room temp worst case

How are you trying to connect?

ok what about upgrading my preexisting 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 without losing my current configuration?? is it possible ??

Yes, you can do in place upgrades in most cases. Rarely recommended, clean installs are better, especially for servers. But technically it can be done.

Same sight existing user just called me complaining that the outlook 2007 client keeps locking up and crashing.

Said user is #3 in this list.

Just be thankful it isn't a PST file. (If it could even grow that large, which it can't.)

Yeah I think the "Office Uploader" got installed when I installed ODfB.

Which, as everybody here seems to know, seems to have some issues, generally.

If you have the dough to spend, Aerohive is really good stuff. Maybe I just like the platform better, but I see now that UBNT has upgraded UniFi, so I might need to thoroughly check it out before I commit to that statement. I just installed the new UniFi tonight because I saw this topic and wanted to check my config before commenting at all. If you want to do it on a budget, but not compromise the quality of the hardware then id go with the UBNT AP like @scottalanmiller suggested. Also I dont really bother with AC at this point because hardly any of my devices support it anyway, and I don't need those transfer speeds.

Keep in mind however ( not that this is a problem on my home network ) I think I recall reading some restrictions on those UBNT AP's. There was and may still be a hard limit of 127 devices per radio ( 127 @ 2.4 and 127 @ 5). In the forums people commented on a soft limit of 32 devices per AP, but I cannot attest to that having any accuracy. I don't know if you still need to configure wLAN groups for ZH (Zero Hand-off) to work, but it used to be that way for sure. Also there was a bug if you had the heartbeat checkbox enabled on the AP, MAC computers would randomly disconnect.

As far as switches go I really dont mind using inline adapters and barrel plugs with ac adapters. Id rather see one inline adapter fail than an entire POE switch, personally. This is really something you need to evaluate yourself.

I dont particularly like using Out-of-the-Box guest network configuration on UBNT equipment. My preference is to configure my own vLAN's and firewall rules. Last I knew you could have 4 SSID per AP, so I configure three. One for the managed network devices, one of personal devices and one for guests. Each SSID can be tied to a vLAN ID and you can introduce bandwidth policing at the SSID level. In my case, the managed network would be uncapped, the personal devices would have a minor cap, and guest networking would be "usable for general purposes". In the firewall I would isolate all three networks and block communication between them.

Anyway... that is my experience with these things. Hope at least one thing I mentioned helps you.

thx

@BRRABill Oh, ha ha. I missed that.

Espcially if you go the route of providing a computer or them bringing there own (but really either way it's best) a switcher is the cleanest solution. And they could have it mounted somewhere hidden with wall jacks.

what is the diffirence btw Xeon and i7 ??

At the highest level, the i7 is the top of Intel's desktop line. The Core i line is the i3 at the entry level, i5 in the middle and i7 at the top end. The Xeon is the server processor line, so while related it is listed differently. Xeons have been around eons longer than the Core i naming convention. Xeons come with more cache, cores and features and can be used in multi-processor configurations. At the low end an i7 and a Xeon would be close, at the high end Xeons get pretty crazy.

I agree, AFAIK Windows 10 Pro FPP will do what you need.

I've deployed Win10 to two user so far for testing. Everything has worked well so far. I plan to do the major upgrade this spring.

Example: the security settings for the public wifi are less than the security for our hidden network. Ex: I can get on Facebook from the public hotspot, but not if I use the hidden network...

Yes, I get that the network is a little odd. I'm unclear how the one recovery method that would have been applicable to an Windows Home OEM machine, slaving a drive, was blocked. If it wasn't blocked, why was anything else considered? If it was blocked, what does the network have to do with it?

Never mind. If the computer is still there, I'll check that folder location tomorrow.

hey why did you use an @ in the f word once but spelled it out later, lol?

🙂

Because the mods edit my posting. They apparently need better tools.

@scottalanmiller Light control is the main reason, sometimes space saving by being able to bounce it off a mirror.

They they can help you build a digital marketing plan with clear goals, documented methods for achieving them, and metrics that you can use to measure the ROI on each method. Otherwise, it's all too easy to spend money trying out a smattering of different methods without ever really knowing which, if any, actually helped.

True marketing is black arts, you can gather some metrics, but only a little bit. Because a marketing campaign today might influence sales next year with no direct connection the metrics can actually show things not working when they are, or lead you to believe that things are working that are actually driving away a lot of customers, too.

I think this makes the situation even worse than I believed it was before.

It's one thing if Lenovo takes a piece of software from a 3rd party and just installs it.. that software then goes and installs a shim to the network to allow them to do whatever they want....

it's whole different when the vendor, Lenovo, actually modifies their own driver to install the shim as low as possible to prevent it's lack of use - it's one of those situations where "they couldn't have helped but to know how bad this was."

Yes, it is really hard to overstate just how bad this was.
