@WLS-ITGuy Typically we use the time to rebuild. Any VM should, in theory, be quick and easy to rebuild. If it isn't, it's the perfect time to make it so.

If you absolutely have to convert rather than move through application migration, then there are disk conversation tools that change the format. There's very little needed for the migration.

I found an old Midi to USB cable over the weekend. ordered a USB to lightning adapter to try it out on her iPad.

For reference, here is the same IVR dialplan as output by FreePBX

LOL - Pithos just stopped... I'm like WHAT?

Oh, it went to sleep.. oops.

You can use the upgrade tool which is even easier if you are on a current version of owncloud. Even though the article doesn't say anything about updating from owncloud, the first article I posted does say you can use this method on current owncloud servers. You just switch the update channel and search for updates.

Now log into your new FreePBX system and it will show the Apply Config warning.

Do so.

At this point you can go through the new system one piece at a time and make sure you are good.
Change a couple extensions to point to your new PBX and make sure they register and can call each other.
Once you are sure that the basics are working, disable the trunks on the old system, enable on the new system, and verify outside connectivity works.
Finally, you can change the rest of the extensions.

3CX's behaviour as a company on the Spiceworks forums is additionally reason to not deal with the product.

I think I'll use CamStudio for this, it can apparently capture screen video and audio to an AVI format.

Should work..
