    • RE: Comparing Ubiquiti EdgeRouter and Cisco ASA PPS Performance and Cost

      @scottalanmiller it’s a guess based on a reddit thread I found, They said in beta it was priced at $500 and in the past beta pricing was half of what retail ended up being.

    • RE: Storage Spaces and ReFS

      @travisdh1 said in Storage Spaces and ReFS:

      Not something I'd normally be up to, as most of you who know me probably already realize!

      Anyhow, brought some blanked drives home from the old work place. Tossed em into my gaming desktop, because it's the only case I have that'd fit them all. And now I'm off to new adventures in Windows and it's storage subsystem. We'll see how things go in the long term here.

      Yes, I actually have Storage Spaces and ReFS in use now, please don't feint on me now.

      Travis using windows? Is the world ending?

    • RE: Heavy Duty Staple for UTP cable

      It is more about the staple then the gun... they make staples for cable that have a bend in them so it doesn't pinch the cable.

      @gjacobse said in Heavy Duty Staple for UTP cable:

      You really want to use something like this

      https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Circle-Cable-Clips-Fastener/dp/B007PPI4Y2

      That is a better way... what I also do is use velcro screwed to the wall to hold cables.

    • RE: NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED

      With SBS you use the built in wizards for everything. The SBS Wizard has a wizard to get a new cert put on the box.

    • RE: New Phone System

      @rojoloco said in New Phone System:

      The only advice I can offer is to ditch the Cisco phones and get anything else. They're more difficult to flash... they basically want to connect to a cisco phone system.

      That is what I did... I tried the SIP firmware for one of the phones, it was awful.

    • RE: Ubiquiti - piss poor customer service

      The fact that you don't have a date code screams that they sold you a beta version of it even if it is released to sale now. You need to go through the reseller.

      I still go with Vultr because I can upload an ISO to them.

    • RE: UNMS vs Unifi for a deployment "today"

      UNMS is mostly monitoring right now. Very little config can be done from it, however it does centralize device backup configs to a single place.

    • RE: NVMe and RAID?

      You have to use software RAID since NVMe is attached directly to pcie bus.

    • RE: Hot Swap vs. Blind Swap

      @BRRABill It's possible that the drive had a loose connection and replacing the other knocked it offline.

      @Dashrender I have my users trained pretty well. If they have a question about the legitimacy of an email, they call me.

    • RE: What are your best bandaid solutions?

      I had a client that used an old DOS base modeling program in the oil/gas industry and needed to be able to print from it. Being DOS based it could only print to an LPT port. Of course the laptop no longer had a parallel port to plug a printer into, much less a printer that hooks up parallel. My workaround was to install the Microsoft Loopback Adapter, share the usb printer back to the computer and map it to the lpt1 port.

    • RE: 1001 Reasons Not to Be an MSP

      Slow Paying Customers! When I consulted, I had a client who owed me a trivial amount ($400ish), They payed it over 4 months and 3 checks. After that I know longer did work for them anymore...
