        Upgrading a server from 2008R2 to 2016. FYI...it isn't very nice. It wipes everything out to install 2016. I have to join it back to the domain, run updates, reinstall applications, etc.

          That doesn't sound like an upgrade at all.

          But as Scott would say - you don't want upgrades anyhow.

            Not sure what happened but I've gotten almost 50 emails from network security vendors this morning. Marking them as junk but somehow my email got onto a list.

            Yes, I did get them as well....

              Thirty-three computers. Sixteen live off our network with work-from-home folks. Eight of us have some kind of Office 365 license that would give us access to SharePoint. Methinks it's time to look at moving the other 25 of us to Office 365 (everyone currently uses Exchange Online for E-mail), getting Sharepoint going, and ditching our on-premises file server.

              I would pilot this with an amenable subgroup. At my prior job we tried to do this, but OneDrive for Business was not up to the task. That was about 4 years ago, so updates since may have improved sufficiently, but I would not jump in without user testing.

              Neither would I. Just looking at ways to improve what we have and how we use what we have. So much stuff has been running on autopilot for so long with no consideration of "is there a better way to do X."

                  Why did you need OneDrive for Business? Sharepoint alone didn't do the trick? Did you need syncing/offline support?

                  It was for local file sync. Sharepoint Online was ok, but many of our users wanted the speed of having the files local. And being a school bandwidth was always at a premium during peak times.

                  What did you do instead?

                  Back to DFS with local file servers at each campus (one building).

                  This is the big concern. How do we move past this? Tell everyone - tough, deal with it? We are moving to the 21st century? No more onsite file servers?

                              It met the requirements at the time, and we had hardware on site that we used. It wasn't a significant burden to run it. Long run something needed to be done, but generally it wasn't worth it. This was another matter of choosing which hill to die on, and this hill wasn't it.
