@momurda said in GPO - Unable To Deploy Java 10 64bit - Fails to install (1603 Error):

Try this

msiexec /i "jre10filename.msi" /q ENTERPRISE=YES

Just a long shot, obviously change it to the msi file name for java10.

I tried by modifying the MSI to enable ENTERPRISE, but I think that caused additional problems (should have used a transform). I just went ahead and deployed the newer version of 8 and kicked this down the road until January 2019 when 8 is discontinued.

Thanks for the help momurda, I appreciate it.

@Brains stop attacking people that disagree with you.

It is your opinion that a random Chinese shell company is a name brand. You can have that opinion all you want. But others are perfectly allowed, and even expected to have their own opinions.

im not attacking anyone at all. he can have his opinion, but you should always be willing to discuss differences instead of just shouting contradictory information and expecting people to accept it as fact. He just wants to say, no, youre wrong instead of giving any kind of reasons or explanation.

different opinion is fine, posting it as fact and directly contradicting someone without supplying any sort of evidence or conversation regarding why you think they are wrong is dumb and does not contribute to the discussion at all.

My feeling aren't hurt, just trying to get him to add some substance to his posts to make them relevant and remove them from the shitpost category. if he wants to add to the discussion fine, but shitposting should always be frowned upon.

Much cheaper in the long run.

LIttle problems like this can drive you mad!

Nice find!

yea man especially when i had to work on a backups issue and couldn't even access the folder!

Honestly can't recall - it was around 4 years ago that it happened to me.

I suppose there could be a post on Spiceworks about it.

That sounds like someone acting like RingCentral to me. Seems very fishy for it to be RC themselves.

Very fishy, but they have confirmed it is a vendor they contract out to and will be ensuring the SPAM is stopped

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

Then they must be a deity of some sort...

No worries 😉
Hope you get it working.

The title of this thread made me laugh. I feel like it is the equivalent of asking "Any cows in Texas with utters?"

Uh.. Yes?

😛

@momurda said in Quick LSI RAID Question:

You dont use server racks or virtualization?

They use whitebox desktops as servers, no virtualization. Nothing enterprise is allowed. We've been discussing this in other threads and offline as well. It's nothing to do with price, in fact it is costing a ton. It's one person's personal agenda and nothing to do with needs, resources or anything. But yeah, none of that stuff allowed.

RUN - RUN away from that company as fast as a new job will allow - or even faster if you can afford to be without that job for a while!

What he said..

@Brains Glad you got squared away

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 - Weather App - Set Location Via GPO / Registry:

I'm lost, why do you need to worry about that? If they care that much, they can click on weather and type in their own city.

Hell, if you want to not worry about it all, just remove it from your image, problem solved. 🙂

Pretty fluff to make the user base happier about the switch. I dont want to spend resources supporting it (Most users cant figure out stuff like that), so if i cant automate it im probably going to remove it.

Thanks guys. I just wont worry about it. I had seen some reports of high usage, but have not deployed fully and monitored to confirm.

@Dashrender said

So you never enter the key? and Windows 10 wasn't previously upgraded on this machine and then rolled back? i.e. Windows 10 has NEVER been installed on this machine before?

Hmmm, now that you mention it, maybe I did install Win10 on it before.

But I think I have done it before. On my own machine in fact.

I will retract until I am 100% sure. 🙂

I had a reason to set up a new VM today, and used a Windows 8 key to do a fresh install of Windows 10.

So I think it does indeed work.

It works as long as your Windows 10 media is r1511. Prior versions would not work or activate on an old key until updated to r1511.

Could a FreePBX state be setup with all of features requested? I'm guessing a third party client software would be needed.

Of course we have Telegram and Rocket.chat, but those are chat only clients, I think... So missing the rest.

That's why Elastix insists on having OpenFire built in. You can do a lot of that stuff with the combination.

FreePBX offers a XMPP module. Have not used it for the same reason I have not used OpenFire in Elastix. No one in my current customer base wants an in house only chat platform.

Yeah this is the problem, internal only chat is damned near useless.

It's just bad timing and we are in the healthcare market and subject to Texas's Workers Compensation craziness, so its been a rough year or two for us.

Then you best not be using PPTP. Compliance audits will come down on you hard.

If anyone will be at Lone Star PHP in Texas this weekend, let me know. Ill be there and will buy you a beer.

I thought you were talking about Big Texas Beer Fest, which was last weekend.

I was planning on trying to use L2TP and darn for missing the Beer Fest. That's my kind of place! Well Whiskey Fest would be MORE my kinda place haha.

I also wanted to ask you about this as well:
3 Year Warranty & InControl 2 for Balance One/Balance One Core

I really doubt the cloud management would be useful for us since we only have 2 local devices (one active at a time). We will get free firmware updates AFAIK, so I don't really know why that is mentioned. Is there any reason we should get this package? 25% price increase for 2 additional years of warranty doesn't seem worth it to me.

@dafyre Unfortunately there is only 1 SATA Controller on the Tyan boards. The other board has its own onboard controller that could be used, but the LSI is wired to the backplane that the HDDs are slid into, so I would have to do some rewiring. Which is possible, but I will need to figure out how to fix this problem either way.

Thanks for help everyone, Im hoping I can get it figured out. I am seriously considering some kind of issue with Server 2012R2 and this type of configuration. Does anyone else have this configuration or could mock it up to see if you experience the same problems?

@Dashrender said:

Definitely upgrade.

I agree with the 635 though - I have one, I really like it even though I'm running beta Windows 10 on it and it has issues.. they are beta issues I live with.

Now I'm waiting on the 640 XL

I have the Lumia 1520. Running 8.1. I like it pretty well. I tried the 920 a couple years ago one 8 and hated it because of some of the issues and lack of apps back then. Now all the appps expect my SSL VPN are there. I tried windows 10 on it. I can't do it. I use windows 10 one my laptop and can live with temprory usability issues but I can't live with the design issues of text being outside of bounding boxes etc that windows 10 preview had on the 1520.

I've used Ferrite cores a lot with cat5e on cell towers to block RF from the cellular antennas.

Thanks guys
