Haven't set one up but I've watched a demo, seems like that shouldn't be too bad.

Yeah it's seems simple enough to get the extensions/phones setup. The bit I'm worried about is connecting it to the ISDN channels for the calls. So might ask an expert to help

Shouldn't be that hard - how are they delivered? Mine are delivered via CAT 5e with RJ45's on them. Plug in just like normal ethernet. The put in the settings provided by the teleco provider and you should be good to go.

that's why I've started posting the information of importance here on ML instead of just a link to the site.
@scottalanmiller said in Random Thread - Anything Goes:
That's what I do.
That's one reason i've always thought of doing a blog type site listing things i've done and how.
The main concern with having a blog - microblog, is you getting board/tired of it. That and it's yours. of course ML could go under tomorrow and the effort I've put in here would be lost, but that's much less likely with a site like than than a personal blog.
Of course finding anything here is only marginally easier than another major IT community site...
That's arguable - even if you have to restort to Google searching ML, it's all open and searchable. Hopefully over time ML will gain in popularity and will get more searches, more new members and more content.
A blog, unless you manage to become famous will always be very limited in size.
It isn't the "searchability" necessarily, but the findability. I've tried to dig through the detritus looking for specific posts/articles, and finding them is very time consuming. Perhaps I need to use the Advanced Search more.
No, the search currently built into the NodeBB platform sucks ass. Period. End of story. No qualifiers. No ifs, ands, or buts.

Not sure that we can answer that one on your behalf.

How much do you want to do it, versus paying them to do it?
Also why not just build a new DC out of 2012 and migrate the rolls?

Not an issue paying them. More an issue most probably quicker if I do it lol.
Might copy the image of the DC and try it in my test lab first lol

This is a network I didn't set-up and so many things are wrong lol like Citrix Licensing server doesn't work correctly after Acronis was installed. So god knows whats on the DC and "cloud" be a problem. Hence thinking let the MSP do it -
