      @syko24 said in Multicast Paging Server:

      If doing multicast at a single site from just the phones, is there a device limit or a point at which you can cause issues on the network? This site is 35 phones so I don't see that being the case but just out of curiosity.

      No limit, because that is the point of multicast

      forget the ARM... not developed..

      Oh, that's too bad.

      yes... but it is still the same issue ... where is the volume... as with hardware and thin clients , and with software.. where is the volume... the volume is on X64 hardware.. and not on ARM... i know citrix did some work there... but "others" dont... so the volume is not there.. ps: to my knowledge there we too many firmware updates to the "Texas Instruments" used by Fujitsu.... so we never did a ARM terminal (luckey us)

      RP is the best selling single hardware of all time. It's a bit of volume. In fact, essentially every SMB I know that does thin clients of any sort use it. The performance is so good, at a cost so low, hard to imagine using anything else. It seems to have the volume these days.

      There is no AD of any kind.

      This doesn't play in. AD doesn't have any licensing. It is included in Windows Server and has no licenses or requirements of its own. If you can use server, you can use it, if you can't, you can't.

      Microsoft Active Directory does have licensing.

      What do you mean? There's no case where it gets licensed. You license Windows Server and AD is part of it, there's no license for AD itself. Any situation where you'd use AD you already have to have Windows Server license, and nothing extra is ever needed.

      Well yeah, in order to use Microsoft Active Directory you still need a Windows Server which yes has to have a CAL (Per user or per device) for using same for SQL, RDS, Sharepoint and Exchange (onprem). So you were right 🙂

      Yeah, you can't use AD without a license, but there's no license for AD 🙂

      For now I am assuming the SonicWall was the culprit but tomorrow will tell.

      It's a known "doesn't work" piece of hardware. I'm pretty sure, based on the unethical reasons why SonicWall exists and is sold (they are a "only for resellers to screw companies" product, not one for IT to select) that they break VoIP by default to probably support some kind of resell or consulting effort so that when competitor VoIP doesn't work, the unethical VAR who deals in SW can magically make their own work and resell that.

      Same basic code base, but with different settings, limits, and features.

      @scottalanmiller said in Internet connection sharing:

      I think that the key thing here might be in interpretation of the language.

      "We have another business in the building" could mean that they own two companies and those two "companies" are sharing a connection. We might use that terminology for two divisions that do different things but legally can share a connection no problem.

      Or it might be some random business that just happens to be in the same building that is trying to not pay for their own Internet, in which case this is a big problem.

      Everyone is assuming the second, but I had read it assuming it was the first. But both are just assumptions, to know what the best options are and what is an option really requires understanding that.

      Wow, I am terrible at following up with posts in a timely manner....

      Yes, it is the first. So you assumed correctly. So I think we are all set with just breaking out the connection via a switch after the modem.

      Thanks!

      If it was me and it was two companies that I controlled, I'd use an EdgeRouter Lite, it has one WAN in and two LAN out. That way I'd have central control. Make that control owned by the "parent" organization. Then have each place have their own switches after that point. But only one router.

      This is also how I would do it. There would only be one company in control of the one router.

      full control via WTFever control app you want. Which lets you even start the meeting for them. the ability to locally record if needed. the ability to use any calling app you want. the ability to have them simply tilt the screen down so that the documents are in view.

      Thanks Jared, excellent points, I'll urge them to go this route.

      @krzykat Xpenology is a great tool to learn Synology with, or to play but I would never use it in a "production" environment (yep even home). Get a real Synology with support or as others have said a server with RAID, linux dist of choice, and Samba. Myself, Im taking one of the 'servers" someone left in my junk pile and loading Proxmox and from there setting up a shared server of some sort.

      Yeah that shouldn't happen. First thing to check on that would be to ensure there were no saved credentials in Windows Credential Manager that may be trying to conflict. Otherwise, that sounds like a fluke issue and not something normal.

      @Dashrender said in what is automation? How does it work?:

      There are multiple ways to get automation. Simplest might be to write a script that copies files and execute that script using Task Scheduler (a windows service that allows you to execute tasks based upon a specific schedule).

      Thanks - Got more information now:
      I need to be able to automatically send a folder to compressed zip.
      Then automate the import and publish.

      The more information I get the more confused I become about all of this.

      The first step to automating a task is defining how you would do it manually. Start there. That doesn't mean the automation will just copy that, but it helps to understand what you are doing today, before you figure out how to do it automatically tomorrow.

      Do it here?
      I mean, That's fine with me.

      I would make a new thread about that specific task, and you could toss a link in here to that.

      @moyarich said in How to sync files between a windows and a linux machine?:

      @notverypunny I am hoping that I can use "cobian backup" to send files to the linux machine as well, but there isn't much information on the internet about how to do it. For some directories it will be realtime,for others it will be scheduled.

      I am also looking for a free/open source application

      If cobian can do a 1 way push from your central windows machine to a SMB or other standard network share you should be able to convince it to work against a share on Linux as much as against a share on windows.

      I'll agree with the others that SyncThing looks like a great option, just didn't fit my use case since it wouldn't keep file ownership settings.

      That's why we put it on a VM.

      Yep, it's a vm.... but the VM and the iDRAC were set to share the same NIC on the host (whoever did the initial hardware setup didn't want to / couldn't use the iDRAC's dedicated NIC)

      Weird, We use dedicated iDRAC all the time.

      I think "didn't want to" is the key language there 😉

      Yeah... dealing with things that someone else setup is always interesting to say the least

      You install something from Veeam on the host with the tape drive plugged in called "Veeam Remote Tape Access Service" and this allows Veeam on the VM to access the tape drive remotely. We have this running using the same setup you describe. Works fine and Veeam can see the tape drive from within the VM. No SAS pass-through.Capture1.PNG

      I can see the use for this in a multi user system where you have virtualization admin. They would not need sudo access to do things.

      For most though, just using sudo will suffice.
