      I ran some test on a VM and created some groups and added some top-level directories for those groups. Changed the group on each top-level directories and files below recursively with chown -R. Set directories to permission 2770 and files to 0660 with chmod -R. Changed smb.conf and added create mask=0660 and directory mask=2770. Now new files and directories created on the share have the right permission and belongs to the right group automatically, simply depending on what group the top-level directory belongs to. If you're not a member of a group, you will not even see the directories or files that belongs to that group. I think this is a good interim solution without too much work. Then moving to onedrive or whatever can be done in the future on a department to department basis. Only admin required for adding users is to add them to linux/samba and make sure they become members of the right groups. It's also very simple to make a separate share out of the top-level folders if you wanted.

      Why not filter out the files that you don't need to rename? Summat like: (Get-ChildItem -Path "path\to\folder" -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.Name -contains '•'} | Rename-Item -NewName {$_.Name -replace '•',''} -verbose -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable daError)

      S

      @EddieJennings said in Where IT Consultants fit between Vendors and Clients: I don't recall saying consultant vs non-consultant, but the responses in the thread have addressed the question of who should interface with a vendor. I feel like I should provide some context for how some vendors operate to get a better idea for the level of vendor involvement and who the vendor wants to work with. Few things.... It depends on the vendor, and who the customer is. For instance, some vendors are 100% channel sales (Datto I think fell in here) and a customer outright can't buy them directly. Most larger vendors DO NOT WANT to talk/sell to smaller customers directly (It's too expensive, as they pay too good of benefits, and too high of compensation to their salespeople to scale down to small accounts that because they only sell their products can't form a meaningful relationship). There typically are 4 "buckets" for products. a. Retail sales for VERY low-value non-complicated sale items that a website can sell. These products don't require sizing assistance or are pretty simple. Think an ethernet patch cable. b. More complicated items on smaller deals that intend to be 100% channeled in sales (You don't want this stuff sold by Amazon as the customer will likely buy the wrong SKU, or screw upsizing). Note, the vendor may offer a direct model but will often have "cannon fodder" class salespeople in this space, and generally will even charge more for going direct. A VAR is your best bet here. Think someone buying 3 servers, or 20 laptops, or a single palo alto firewall for a SMB. all services are going to be VAR partner led when possible beyond post-sales support escalations. Also in these smaller accounts it's expected that the VAR/MSP is more than likely going to know the needs potentially better than the customer does. c. larger enterprise deals where the VAR is still involved but the vendor takes some leadership because the account is big enough to matter, or the vendor wants a strategic presence in this account. The paper may shift to being run by the vendor at the higher end of this, with a small revenue share back to the VAR who brought this deal to them for the life of this deal. Think ELA's, 100 site MLPS circuit deals etc. services might be delivered by either the partner or the vendor at this stage. d. Direct only deals. These are sometimes called "named accounts" and the vendor will 100% run paper directly. A partner of record might get 3% of the deal if they are lucky, or be subcontracted if they are a marque support partner with tons of certifications. Others can comment but sales teams tend to be organized around these different groups Example: Commercial-1 Smallest accounts and people who haven't bought anything in 5 years from you. These are called "Whitespace accounts" and you basically have people trying to get a meeting with hundreds of these in a territory or verticle and seeing if they can find some gold and get people with a low priced entry solution. ALL sales will be inside teams at this scale with VAR's or MSPs type shops doing any in person meetings. Commercial-2 Slightly larger accounts. Might have spent a few thousand, but there isn't a strategic or lucrative relationship. You might have a field team at this point but they will likely cover hundreds of accounts still. Midsized Accounts - Still larger. They will likely have some clue who their account team is, but still rely on a VAR for most day to day stuff. Large Enterprise - Big names you recognize. These accounts will have teams who might have only 5-10 customers. Alignment on this is going to be tied to geograhpy still more than likely. Globals - Account teams will be in some cases 1:1, or if there is a specific industry (Say automakers, or oil gas) you might have a team in a city (like Houston) whose job is to wrangle these guys. The Cxx levels of the vendor likely have strong relationships with these accounts and for a software vendor these accounts could be spending 9 figures at a time, or for hardware companies 10.

      @emad-r said in Linux As File Server- Break Out From Other Thread: @scottalanmiller said in Linux As File Server- Break Out From Other Thread: @emad-r said in Linux As File Server- Break Out From Other Thread: The only down side to it, that the files will take size on their machine as well as the NC server, thats it. If you can afford this, then this is the way to go. That's purely optional. Not a given. NextCloud can be used with files purely on the server just like with SMB. Huh, how so ? you mean only via web client. If your installing the agent at somepoint it will need to sync the files to your account synced folder. That's one option, but not what I mean. You can map drives to it, too.

      @wrx7m said in SMBv2/v3 Issues on Windows Server 2016: @phlipelder I thought that those files were necessary. I guess I will try to block them as long as it doesn't cause issues on the Mac side. I don't know if they are critical or not. From what I see online files like .DS_Store is just to show metadata to the mac client. This is likely the tag color etc for the Mac Finder, which for me (personally) doesn't matter. But I'm sure it would affect business pretty heavily.

      @dbeato said in Can Roaming Profiles be a good idea?: Before Windows 10 to get a symlinknyou couldn’t do it without elevated permissions now is much improved. I use directory junction (/J) instead of directory symbolic link (/D), which requires admin privileges. All I wanted is to create a link from c:\users\user1\Desktop to c:\users\user1\Nextcloud\Desktop. Edit: Now obviously there are more to it than just creating links to have it properly setup.

There is a big old button there to put one of your choice on there. That's not the editor that picks that, that's the poster. And that is manually chosen every time, but only from the three choices, need to have someone make a title pic otherwise. Maybe just need to do that. You are correct that I simply assumed the editor would post it to your channel for you. Seems silly to have to send it back and forth.

      @luismc said in Port - How to go about setting up a client to be virtualized?: @dashrender said in Port - How to go about setting up a client to be virtualized?: As for Sharepoint - You don't get that much storage in Sharepoint in O365, so you'll likely be paying for more storage there. Sharepoint also has a number of files per site limit, just something else to watch out for. For future reference to anyone wondering, I spoke to three different O365 reps today and they said the limit has been bumped to 1 million items so we'll be good for a while! That's a bit more!

This may be good for a fork...but why hang on to NFSv3 instead of stepping up to NFSv4?? Because the work differently and having the overhead of NFSv4 often does not make sense. Can you give more detail? They are very different protocols with a lot of different features. NFSv3 is much lighter than NFSv4.
