Also oddly, at least one of my users has an idea of what VDI is, but doesn't understand that a file server can support more than 7 users at a time all working from it at the same time.
I'm kind of at a loss on what to do.

Trying to fight the urge to call an onsite tech and scream "That's not how any of this works!"
Legit convo with an on-site at a company that a client acquired
Me: I'm getting a 2 Factor prompt trying to access this account
Tech: Just enter your phone number
Me: Screen cap showing 2 Factor is sending Auth Code to a number ending in 81
Tech: Just enter your cell # and it will text you
Me: Screen cap with highlights. This is the cell # that is receiving the Auth code. You can't just enter any number, that's not how 2 factor works.
Tech: Oooooohhhhh........ Here's the auth code.

I'm thinking about a way to placate a few of my users who are paranoid about loosing working files from their local systems and am considering setting up rsync with ssh keys to grab files from specific locations on the user workstations. . .
But where to sync the data too and lastly I can't possibly account for every scenario that the user will do (save into. . .)
Schedule rsync to backup?
Add a context menu that allows them to manually rsync there files?

Lots of cleaning to do. Sister in law and her kids are coming here tomorrow for the weekend. It is my daughter's birthday party weekend.

/sigh Surprise! Watching new applications fail to install on old servers that won't be upgraded or patched because of
$reasonswhich are beyond my control.No point in wasting your time on it.
Don't have a choice. Well, I guess I do -- find a new job
Speaking of which, I just got home from an interview that went very well today.

Thanks. Would be a big step up in money, and I like the IT team there. Here's hoping!

Progress is better than a spinning wheel that says "Updates are being installed, don't power down or restart" for 24 hours. . .

I already had to hard reset a VM this morning for another client because of that. 2 hours to apply a cumulative update wasn't working.
It's going to be one of those days......

I'll keep that in mind. Generally, family stuff is good times around here as long as everybody is sober -- got a bunch of druggies and alcoholics in my family.
