Okay, just keeping it alive as their last "it'll be 24 hours and we are watching it actively" was over a week ago so I have to keep on top of it.

If you would happen to need it, the touch screen is available.

I have an account with them from when I used to do a lot of repairs and they have pretty decent service, I can usually get ~ $10 off screens since I used to do a good many.

Thanks! I'll give this a shot.

SATA SSDs often make sense because they are cheaper and the protocol benefits of SAS really are not there in the same ways for SSDs.

So this brings up @DustinB3403 question of best practice or more aptly as you @scottalanmiller said implementation patterns - which ones as generically as you can be would go which way. I suppose it might be easier to say 'in these set of circumstances (list 1-4) you do this, generally in the rest you do that.'

Does Starwind provide any tool for an async DR site replication? Or is it recommended to just use a different tool for that?

Any question like this would technically be dependent on the PBX in question and could not be answered generically. That being said, I do not know of any system where this would cause a problem.

If there is any post that needs to be pinned... it's this one!!!!

True. But a lot of email systems adopted the SPF record type and would not accept email from you if your system wasn't set up with one. I ran into that a few times before actually setting it up.

I always wondered why they just didn't use a TXT record for it, lol...

Holy crap, yeah, that's not useful at all. No wonder they do not publish the prices anywhere. The old rule of thumb applies: if the price isn't public, the price isn't good.

I can see doing RAID 6 if you can afford the performance penalty.

Which you would assume that you can if you can wait for a distant node to write as well.

By distant, you mean local, as in the same rack?

Yes, distant meaning outside of the chassis connected over a slow Ethernet link.

Nadella is making Microsoft the company that it always should have been. So far I really like that guy.

And that seemed to do it. Installed that, restarted and there ya go. Saw the card, and imported 180 photos.

@scottalanmiller Yes... Everything works fine when I dialed in and pointed inbound route to an extension, rings and audio is perfect. Web interface, logs, Asterisk functions, modules loaded everything works fine. This is what confuses me the most. Unfortunately I cant just erase the entire server and start from scratch.

Sure, but this boils down to the 'You don't know what you don't know' situation.

Maybe, but you do know if you are looking for advice and engineering insight or not. If not, you have to assume that the priority was not that high. If you want a house built and feel that the design is important we all know that you high a trained architect. If not and you just want to be cheap, you just buy a book of blueprints and hope for the best. But we know what we don't know.

an aside to the Google drive issue,.. there was a window of time this afternoon I was unable to sign into my email. Possible that it was related.

It is actually pretty difficult comparatively to other systems. I have worked with more than a few and I am not a fan of the complexity there.

Not secret. Have to be in Hawaii in March for a family event so already a long way via the flight path. Kids are begging for a holiday in China so we plan on doing that. The plan is to move to New Zealand directly from the holiday in China. From NZ we will be using a lot of our free time to visit Australia as this is the only time that we know that we will be living in that part of the world. So like late April of 2017 through the end of the year in that part of the world. If we really find that we like Australia we could conceivably spend a few months there while in the "area".

Then you can visit PH too 😀

@GregoryHall's method is what I used to do this exact thing a while back.

Only thing I wasn't able to figure out was how to automatically add the group to people's lists - I ended up writing up some tutorials on how to add groups and which one to add for one of our departments that needed to use S4B.

Ah, I've not done that, that would explain why I had not seen it in that light.
