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.
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.

Veteran's day was observed on Friday, unless there is another holiday that is not on my calendar.

@scottalanmiller You mean federal and local goverment?
Can you quote the post you're referencing rather than replying with an @? It isn't a big deal, it just makes it harder to follow the thread of conversation.

Yes, I have been trying to do so.

Obviously @scottalanmiller is celebrating "start a rumor day".

Sadie Hawkins Day
I was never asked on Sadie Hawkins Day. I was not hot nor cool enough to be asked by the ladies.

Same here. I eventually figured out how to talk to women, but it took a long time.

I love it. Almost half way through the month and our VoIP cost (already including the monthly rate for DIDs, Vultr, voip.ms fax) is about $96. Methinks we won't be hitting $755 by the end of the month.

cant remember, what did you project it would be?

Started reading this thread before creating my own. With a few exceptions, this is basically our company's production environment (we don't have a master-slave database or virtualization -- physical servers for everything) sans the performance issues the OP describes.

I just wish my church would take note of this. They are wanting to increase their budget in order to pay for their current setup for the next year. I asked if they have looked at newer technologies and they were like "What new technologies?" and "But nobody has volunteered to help with something like this." I have offered to help a number of occasions and I keep getting blocked. Not offering my services anymore.
