      On P99 raid now. Already did the pseudo-mandatory-at-work-after-work gaming session with one of my bosses 😛

        Number crunching potential telecom savings. Even though I know our solution will be FreePBX on (most likely Vultr) + SIP provider, I want to have some actual numbers to show my bosses.

          Do it based on current data? Shouldn't be hard to estimate.

            @dafyre Yeah. I'm trying to give them an estimated cost for 5 years with these caveats: assuming price for services stays the same and assuming some arbitrary increase in overall minutes usage (since I don't have good historical data to really show a trend).

              I'm curious how you know how many local calling mins (in and out) you are currently using? My Teleco provider doesn't/won't provide that to me.

                I would price it out based on current prices over the last quarter or two. That way you get to see what the costs would look like based on current usage.

                  @Dashrender The best I have is a utility from Altigen that shows 3 months worth of minutes usages on the PBX. I don't have any local information from Windstream. So what I'm doing to estimate the current telco costs for the next five years is looking at long-distance and toll-free minutes, since local is baked into the standard monthly charge.

                  Edit: I take those minutes from the utility and subtract the toll-free / long distance minutes reported by Windstream. It's not 100% accurate, but gives me an idea of non-toll-free/long distance minutes.

                    A lot of them provide it.

                      @Dashrender I thought they had to provide that? It's part of the FCC regulations.

                        I am dealing with random reboots after updates last night even though my GPO active hours are between 7 AM and 7 PM and Default maintenance is set to 2AM and the computers are still rebooting... Windows 10 Pro with WSUS....

                          Are you using any monitoring software? My boss used something (I forget the name of it) and it actually out-prioritized those settings. Turned automatic updates on and everything.

                            @wirestyle22 No, I am actually using only GPO and Spiceworks Network monitor on servers and not in computers. I am going to dig deeper because updates are set to be installed on Saturdays. But let me check if I setup WSUS to force install the updates (I doubt it but you never know).

                              If any app sends a reboot signal with proper privs, it's going to reboot. Those other settings won't apply. It's like hitting the reboot button.

                                  Recovering from a surprise hard drive failure this morning. /sigh.

                                    @dafyre Hope it goes well. If was a planned hard drive failure, I'd question the motives of the one who implemented the plan. 🙂

                                      Fortunately, it was just my office machine's data drive. Veeam Endpoint Recovery restore FTW.

                                        Normal updates, or a third party app running updates and then rebooting?
