    So you are, but it's not currently costing you extra. The moment you could use that space for your own business generating equipment they suddenly start costing you money!

    Unlikely we'd need it. There's planned room for expansion if needed. our DC is pretty huge as it is. More likely we'd need less space as we move from on site exchange to office 365 and such.

    More than just removing Exchange from the iPhone I also run CalCheck.exe against the users Exchange profile from a workstation.

    Our users calendars are extremely messy. The physicians calendars are managed/edited/etc by nearly everyone in the office. Those who need it have the required delegation rights.

    The biggest time we notice problems is when someone changes or moves an appointment. Exchange appears to maintain the same calendar entry ID and this causes the iDevices to not make the needed change, as they consider there to be no change. To solve this we've told staff that they can not change/move an appointment, instead they must delete the old one, and create a brand new appointment. This seems to have reduced our problems significantly.

    For me, once the Exchange logs indicate that the single entry is stuck, syncing never works again. Removing Exchange and re setting it up seems to resolve it quickly. If not, running the CalCheck hasn't failed me yet.

    I don't think that's the proper shortening. Most people think of security cameras with that.

  • FOP2 names in FreePBX don't match what is shown on the buttons

    I am not sure if you want to change to last names honestly. Remember that the name you put on the extension would affect the dial by name company directory (if you have that setup) for the PBX.

    A receptionist / FOP2 user should be able to start typing someone's name in the filter at the top of the FOP2 console and see their extension pretty quickly after doing that. That should work whether they see the entire name of the person on the actual extension button (as long as the full name is the name on the extension in FreePBX). The full name should show when you hover over the extension button.

    And, there is a FOP2 buttons area where you can override what is shown on the buttons in FOP2 (or there has been this option in previous versions). I'm just not sure if making a manual edit is worth it or if the synchronization will break for those extensions.

    Thanks - I only used it because I've seen it used other places.

    Might be used some places I haven't seen. But in case someone is searching, they would search on FreePBX, not FPBX, I assume. Just in case others are looking for information later.

    I can just picture someone saying "I can't get FPBX to work with my OBFN using a VM on ESXi running on OBR10 local disk." And it makes me chuckle a little.

    Actually, there is another way.

    If you use full disk encryption from day one, once you delete the encryption key you don't have to worry about it.

    Any encryption can be broken. That is why the article I linked talks about getting verified information from the vendor.

    I figured it out by trial and error. I have bought 10 or so different domains this way. You should have seen the price jump from $.99 to $10 after you changed the payment type.

    It didn't just took me to paypal, which was an agreement not a purchase for some reason. So the amount didn't show on the paypal page.
