Perhaps AWX or Tower have reporting capability, I haven't used Tower and I briefly looked and AWX. Other configuration management solutions might do what you need too. Tower is pricey, depending on your needs. AWX lacks "support", as it is free. Also, AWX is treated as a toy and has constant issues with the current release software. You can see all the issues I had when experimenting with it: https://mangolassi.it/topic/19300/install-awx-on-centos-7-with-docker That is a complaint that I saw, as well.

@LilAng said in Copy / Paste from Excel on Mac to Outlook Web Access Creates Image Rather than Table: In Excel, use File > Save as web page, then attach the web page to your email message? Yeah, we found that process. That's a pretty huge "fail" process.

It's silent (besides your installation) and it's free. Other option could be Nagios or Zabbix SS doesn't do email alerts (yet) If I wasn't aware of the trouble that Macs are giving you I'd downvote this response Ha, it's funny because it's true.

In order to change a Keychain password, you'll have to know the original password used to create the Keychain. If you don't know what that original password is, simply create a new Keychain with a new password and enter passwords into the Keychain as you or the user comes across applications that require a password.

@dafyre said in Mac OS X Writing to NTFS: @Mike-Davis said in Mac OS X Writing to NTFS: @scottalanmiller said in Mac OS X Writing to NTFS: So how is a Mac involved here? It seems like you are trying to do a Windows to Windows copy, no Mac in the process? Correct. It seems that a Mac unzipped the files to the windows server. There was a bug at the time that set the file type bit to something that makes windows think it's encrypted. (thus windows shows it as green and the encrypted check box is checked) All I'm trying to do now is copy the files from a server that is having issues to a new server. Where are you running the copy operation from? The new server or the server with issues? I'd suggest trying to run the copy FROM the server with issues. He can't, logging in causes the system to crash.

Maybe problem with noowners mount option? https://www.barryodonovan.com/2012/12/12/apple-os-x-as-an-nfs-server-with-linux-clients

That's that. You can use extremely limited (2) VMs for testing or development, nothing more. You VPS, no cloud computing. No multi-tenant. So that is why Apple has no VPS presence, it's not allowed. You can get PS, but not VPS.

Oh this is another cool feature that was added recently. Change Log 2.1.18 Image Mounting, browsing and archival.

@ntoxicator said: Unless there is another distributed file solution that can make work for their Mac / Apple eco-system. If they happen to be using Gmail for their email you may want to look at AODocs. Amazon WorkDocs is another option. @ntoxicator said: Always complaining to me the slowness of mac's even though they're spec'd accordingly. Soon as you kill dropbox.. runs fine. had to implement alot of QoS on their network to throttle DB traffic. Did you make any changes to the LAN Sync feature in Dropbox? I've always seen big improvements when blocking cloud sync services over WLAN within the office via endpoint software. e.g. Symantec

Which brings up an interesting point, this means that IBM has abandoned Lenovo, their long term partner and the owner of the old IBM brand. So, in a way, IBM no longer runs IBM! Which is not that shocking, since even in 2000 - 2001 they relied on Sun to provide their servers instead of eating their own dogfood.

@Jason said: I've said this for a long time, the bigest problem with mac is that it's just layering things on top of each other for year and years without ever re-writing. What's wrong with that?

@Breffni-Potter said: What you are both forgetting is that the primary target of Apple's market is no longer the studio/production house, it is exactly the home user/prosumer market that they are targeting that they will hurt the most with this. I wasn't forgetting I was just replying to you saying this will effect studios, video production houses etc.

Of course, the Mac crashed completely only a few minutes into trying to use this on the LG. Probably unrelated, it crashed three times in the last two hours, only once while attached to the TV.

Fixed

@dafyre said: @Reid-Cooper said: I'm pretty sure that Apple will sell you whatever you want to buy. At extortionist pricing... There is only one price. I don't think that Apple does any extra markup on the drives after the fact. They are the same price up front or later. So no extortion pricing, it's all level pricing. That's one of the Apple advantages. Sure, you have a higher price starting point, but you get all price transparency and the majority of the price pain up front. There are no surprises and later price jacks once people are locked in, even though they are locked in.

@thecreativeone91 said: The Box has the PCIE Slots. You put it in there. and connect the mac Mini Via thunderbolt. It also means you can add more Nics, etc. Oh okay, interesting. Not bad then.

A brave move, seems like they really want to iron out all issues!

That won't change your running shell. But now you can use the traditional ulimit command to alter the running shell.... ulimit -n 2048 Voila, that worked. ulimit -n 2048

It said that it could not determine it when I went to look into it. But normally, on the same IP, it sets to where I actually am. So it is not consistent. I get the theory, but that's not a reliable way to tell timezone. Based on what you've told me, the main uplink is usually satellite, right? That could be it. Or maybe it's relaying to another tower somewhere else. It's never going to be where your house it. It's wherever the ISP connects to the backbone/peering connections. That's what I'm saying. Nearly any sat link for this part of the world shows up as Belgium. I'm not on a sat, if I was, that's where it would likely terminate. Ok.
