      @JaredBusch Thanks im updating our documentation now. it seems like we are already 1 firmware version behind. Is there a way to be automatically notified when there are controller updates?

    • RE: Quick LSI RAID Question

      @Dashrender said in Quick LSI RAID Question:

      Even though the RAID controller won't provide the partitions for you, does that matter? Assuming that the OS will see the entire 5 TB partition, Windows should allow you to create a 350 GB boot partition that you install Windows to, then format the rest as GPT and call it a night.

      It wont work. Windows cant boot to a GPT disk if there is no UEFI motherboard installed. Im going to just add a couple more disks and setup disks as the boot volume. Then use GPT on the existing 5TB volume.

      My next problem is to figure out how to get this card to allow me to connect 6 drives in the cheapest, most efficient way possible while not sacrificing performance. I have a SF8087->4 SATA connector breakout cable right now. Sounds simple, huh?

      @Nic said in Asus RoG Rocking the WebRoot Secure Anywhere:

      re: no internet - Webroot defaults to monitoring any new exe using the local heuristics until it can get back online. That way if it's determined to be malicious it can roll back any changes that new process has made.

      seems like a nice compromise on a cloud AV

    • RingCentral Spamming My Users

      Not sure if this is actually RingCentral or not, but I dont see any fake links. Some of our users do use RingCentral, but this user is not one of them.

      Has anyone else received these in the last month or two? No response from this "Scott" when I emailed him, but he seems to have stopped spamming once I told him to "cut it out"

      Hi <My User> ,

      I wanted to make sure you saw my earlier message. I'd like to connect to discuss the amount of time your employees spend toggling between phone, mobile and work apps.

      RingCentral, a Gartner Magic Quadrant Leader for Unified Communications as a Service, can transform the way Functional Restoration Associates, Pa does business.

      If you're the right person to speak with, what does your calendar look like early next week? If not, who do you recommend I talk to?

      Thanks,

      Scott

      Subject: Request for referral to IT Executive handling communications at Functional Restoration Associates, Pa

      Hi <My User> ,

      I'm writing to request a referral to the IT executive who manages telecommunications at Functional Restoration Associates, Pa, typically the CTO or VP/Director of IT Operations, to talk about the solution outlined below.

      Digital is the new normal for today's workers. They're collaborating 24/7 across multiple locations and rocking the latest mobile devices and apps like Google for Work, Salesforce and Office 365.

      These new apps deliver huge productivity gains, but there's a catch:

      a) Is your phone system difficult to expand to multiple locations?
      b) Are you chained to multiple vendors or aging PBXs?
      c) Is it incapable of integrating with popular business apps?

      RingCentral Office? empowers your business with feature-packed, scalable Unified Communications tools for a superior "in-office experience" anywhere, on any device. You get crystal clear voice, SMS, Voicemail-to-Email, HD Video Conferencing - and seamless integration with Google Apps for Work, Office 365, Salesforce, Zoho and Zendesk.

      For one low monthly fee you also get:

      • "In the cloud" updates across locations, users and devices
      • Bank-level security with end-to-end encryption
      • Disaster Recovery with triple-layer redundancy
      • 99.999% uptime (best in industry) with minimal IT administration

      That's why more than 300,000 companies including Allstate, Box, Del Monte, Liberty Mutual, Intuit and H&R Block rely on RingCentral, and are seeing a 182% ROI over 3 years vs. PBX (Forrester Total Economic Impact Study).

      • 2016 TMC Internet Telephony Product of the Year Award
      • 2016 Frost & Sullivan's Market Leader Award
      • 2015 GARTNER Magic Quadrant LEADER for Unified Communications as a Service

      I'd like to arrange a brief call, and thank you in advance for getting me to the right executive. A reply and cc: with their names would be terrific.

      Kind regards,

      Scott

      other than the unsubscribe and email link

      It could be nothing more than a trigger to get you to respond and verify the email address.

      thats what im leaning towards, but RingCentral tends to follow really horrible practices, so I really am not sure

      Maybe a lot of their problems are third party vendors doing things in their name.

      Unless their tech support is all third party vendors, I respectfully disagree to the cause. I would say both of them are symptoms of bad management decisions and not focusing on the customer though.

    • Dcdiag /TEST:DNS - Different results depending on which computer runs the command (same server)

      so this is a weird one and I was hoping someone with more experience troubleshooting these issues could fill me in on whats going on.

      If I run "dcdiag /s:<domaincontroller>.pridedallas.com /TEST:DNS from my machine, I get a FAIL for RReg (errors below). If I run the same command or the simpler version "dcdiag /TEST:DNS" on the domain controller, I get a PASS for RReg. I have lots of ideas as to the cause, but can someone give me some concrete information?

      FYI everything seems to be working fine on the surface, just following up on some errors logs we saw.

    • Windows Share - Access Denied - 1 Domain Account on 1 Computer (Solved)

      Well if you've seen my previous questions, you should expect something obscure and weird and I'm happy to provide another instance in Billy's Wacky House of IT Wonders. I finally solved this issue and wanted to share it.

      So on my main PC, using my domain admin credentials, I am no longer able to access 2 out of 3 network shares (3rd share I created) or the administrative share on our backup server. However, I can access those shares when logged into a different computer. Also when logged into my main PC with a Test Domain Admin account, I can access the shares.

      So the problem seems to be limited to my user account on my PC only. I have recreated my profile with no dice. I verified nothing was mapped via "net use". Even mapping and deleting JIC.

      So it being limited to 1 account on 1 machine really narrowed down the problem. I checked the Credential Manager in Win10 and apparently it decided to save the connection information for the 1 share I created (restricted permissions utilizing a specific account for our Voicemail automated backups). Once I deleted the 2 entries in Credential Manager, I was able to access the share.

      Hope this helps someone. I'm still not sure how/why Windows 10 decided to save those credentials like that for the machine itself instead of the network share specifically, but its all fixed now!
