Tickets, so many tickets. I need to setup a helpdesk page so they don't email to the helpdesk email on every single email. My life is closing as duplicate on that thing, uck.

Setup OS Ticket

I just might do that. I've about caught up on all the old poo leftover from a couple of people without a clue.

Nextcloud:

There are some warnings regarding your setup.
The "Strict-Transport-Security" HTTP header is not set to at least "15552000" seconds. For enhanced security, it is recommended to enable HSTS as described in the security tips ↗.

If you're using nginx externally as a reverse proxy you need to add add_header Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; to your server block to resolve this

Note: Hm. This actually isn't working. The example Nextcloud uses is a virtual host $:\$

I'm reading up on MS CALs. I just realized that you even need a CAL for things like DHCP or DNS.

Yeah, which is why MS licensing (bad player) fees get to be extreme a lot of the time.

It's crazy. I had thought this whole time that things like accessing file services required CALs, but not just random guest devices that get a DHCP address. That totally changes everything. One scenario I read that claimed to need a CAL was a networked break buzzer for the shop floor. If using the per user model, you would need a user CAL for each employee on payroll. Dumb

Used up leaving only 168 MB left of Free space. .. .

Yeah. Just adding in DHCP means lots more CALs for something that is free almost anywhere else.

Where do I start with replacing the whole AD/DHCP/DNS stack for managing windows machines? I'm locked in to windows desktop OS for the foreseeable future, but I dont need to be dependent on them for everything else. I can see the next generation of services not using windows server in anyway, with SQL being able to be run from linux or windows 10, and something like Nextcloud running the file server.

Most places find that per user is the much cheaper way to go. Only in shops where you have huge staff but few shared computers does device license make sense. So in the case of phone connecting - it would be covered under the user's user license.

Windows 10 suffers the max 10 connections issue - just reminding you of that.

we have about 50 computer users but 200 shop employees. I dont currently have any CALs that cover the shop employees.
