Girls have Japanese culture event with school tomorrow. Sunday, my wife is working so I will lock the kids in their room. Or maybe lock myself in my room.

Guys - you are looking the wrong direction to assess the damage to the road. Or did Fitz-Simmons drop Gravatonium again?

@dustinb3403 Sure, let me just get some rainbow unicorn farts sent their way and everything will be good.....

@BRRABill it's been a full year since hte last follow up on this thread. How about an update after another year of use?

Transitions are always the hardest part. You need to leap from a fully functional business to a basically non-existent one and get the new one up to speed more or less instantly.

IT is always the last to know.

@Dashrender said in Domain Controller Down (VM): perhaps the discussion of HA should always be left at the door unless the OP specifically says something to the effect of - this was supposed to be an HA solution, why is it not - Perhaps. Often someone says something that leads us to believe that there might have been a reason for HA. But this is a case where just nothing suggests it. Not even the lack of panic or concern once things were down. They really seemed to have no care that things were down - which is fine, their design suggests that. In this case, with @wirestyle22 not having been there, he too would have to decide how the system should be viewed. But he needs the information to take back to management "Oh, you thought that this would be HA? THat's odd as it is designed exactly the opposite of that in every way and all of the policies and procedures go against that as well. How were you expecting HA without HA processes, staffing, technology, design or setup? What led you to believe something so contrary would achieve HA?"

Well... plug-in downloaded source, compiled, installed and activated. In "Setting/Plugins" I can see now the "backup-reports" and "transport-email" plugins. I made some simple test with "Backup Jobs" and all seems ok. Thanks guys.

Happy birthday @JaredBusch and @pchiodo

@StuartJordan said in Backup File Server to DAS: Wow what a thread, took me a while to read through it We don't fool around around here!

@Dashrender said in Web Application VS Windows Application: Right, the whole point of this thread is basically apps that platform independent. Apps that will run in an HTML5 browser At least as their interface. The entire app doesn't have to be there.

@guyinpv said in Why Do People Still Text: @Dashrender said in Why Do People Still Text: Exactly - getting people to use something new is challenging at best, impossible at worst. My mom only calls, texting would blow her mind (and make my phone explode, so I'll never teach her). I had the opposite. If she called I would be stuck for 45 minutes and my ear would have 1st degree burns. She learned how to text and then I can casually deal with her over time. The only problem, she texted small books and autocorrect ruined everything. I have that problem too. She calls, there's an hour gone. Though the idea that texting gets rid of 'dealing with it right now' issue, at least for some. Personally email is the ultimate form of "it can wait." A phone call is an indication that something needs to be handled right now, a text is somewhere in the middle. I guess one good thing, my kids will never post complaining about how their father called and wasted their time - oh wait... I don't have kids While I appreciate Scott's take that trying to contact him via a single device connection (phone calls or SMS) aren't good for him since he doesn't carry his phone always - the idea that email is somehow instant access to him is something I can't grasp. I'll be extreme here - if Scott's father was in an accident - does he want an email about that? or does he want a phone call about that? I suppose a message on any number of messaging platforms (other than SMS) would be nearly as good as a phone call, but then as I write that, if the device he is on can get messaging, it can probably get email - and I have to ask... are all of his devices constantly chiming whenever an email is delivered?

@scottalanmiller said in question about setting up a new domain controller: @dave247 said in question about setting up a new domain controller: Then, in actuality, the CDW rep did not mess up, as I already have user CALs for Server 2016!!!! That's why I asked that question I'm an idiot.
