@Dashrender It uses the RDP client, under advanced tab is where you set it up to access the RDS Gateway. The only thing on the firewall you have to open port 443.

@NattNatt Schrodinger's cat was an example of superposition. It is in both up(alive) and down(dead) states until observerd

I'm wanting to test out some project management applications for my company. Being on my current anti Microsoft kick since their pointless SAM audit, I was wondering what open source alternatives people have used or recommend.

@NattNatt I misread/understood what you said... my bad

I will say that the EdgeSwitches will give more power per port then most of the other brands. I just put in a EdgeSwitch 48 with 750W of power.

wow just wow

words can't describe it...

Usually when I am just creating a couple of hosts to redirect internally like this I create a forward lookup zone for the whole host. e.g. i create ownlcoud.external.tld forwardzone then make the @ record the internal host. That way everything for just host.external.tld still uses the public records

I believe you need windows fail over clustering which is not included in windows 10

One of the reasons I seem to be going on SW more and more

I kinda feel like making it to the 2015 Austin Spice World was the last hurrah. The.... sponsorship.... is getting deep.

It was my first and last SpiceWorld... several of the sessions were an utter waste of time... had nothing to do with the topic they said they were going to be. I was extremely disappointed in it.

@MattSpeller @JaredBusch In all honesty, I got the LR because it was the one that was in stock and was only a few bucks more. Is it that much better in terms of signal range? Probably not, but I was really tired of my old setup and I am happy with this one.

I did the same thing... needed one next day and that was the only one from Prime available at the time.

Did someone say Cylance

I actually am using cylance, and I love it... The major session that disappointed me was one put on by solarwinds....

Didnt go to their session though.

I've heard good things about Cylance as a product and have friends working there now. But the session was an epic failure. One of the worst that I've ever seen. It was the perfect storm of horribly over billed as the "one technical session" of the conference, it packed in more people than every other topic combined and then delivered an insulting "how to not go to fake websites for your grandma on the iphone" bit of piss because Cylance had (rightly) figured out that there were almost no technical people at the conference and that their billed topic was going to be way over their heads. The problem, though, was that officially they told no one and didn't change the topic. So everyone that arrived was expecting a highly technical session and was relived and then got the most non-technical drivel ever.

Before spiceworld, I had gone to a session/sales pitch they did in Dallas that had like 20 or so people in it. It had alot of technical stuff in it.

I do still feel it to be correct, but I could very well be wrong.

Having to license a possible 100 people, when only 10 people might use it concurrently seems insane.

As I've always understood it, you license what would be used concurrently, not the total base of users.

If you have 100 users using it at the same time, then you need 100 licenses.

If you have 100 users, but 20 may use it at once, you'd only buy 20 maybe 25 licenses to cover the few times that you might exceed your licensing.

Insane.... That is the definition of Microsoft Licensing.

If I remember right they dumbed down the SW session after talking to people at their booth.

That doesn't surprise me.

So does every CAL have the users name written on it?

What happens if that user dies, do you need to buy another CAL to get back to the 100 licenses?

No, you have to have the number of CALs for each user that has the ability to connect. You can transfer CALs as people leave or job roles change, you just have to remove their access the the RDS server.

Couple years on, the Jentu spam army attempted to comment on this old thread but thankfully someone deleted it. Jentu's spam army is out of control over on SW.

I've pulled 5e and 6 in through the rafters in my shop and to me there is no discernable difference between the 2. Even when punching down/terminating the cables.

Can't explain how you see them as the same, the termination components that I've seen are quite different, so much so that one is very easy and one is rather difficult.

The termination is a bit different, not much though. After a little practice I can terminate a cat6 just as fast as cat5e with RJ45 plugs. As far as punchdown and keystone jacks they are the same.

My co-worker accidentally threw her voice like a ventriloquist. I heard her directly next to me, turn around and saw her across the room. Weird.

What profession would you guys have been in the 1950's? Typewriter repairmen?

@Joy Hi!

If I were alive in the 1950s I would have probably worked for the telecom companies.

There are alot of Windows mobile fanboys on SW. I was really surprised to see so many tech people like it.

WinPho has a ton of promise if it integrated deeply and took advantage of the microsoft ecosystem. Unfortunately it's a couple years late, the market has already distilled down to two major players.

You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Microsoft is an old player in the mobile market. They have been around longer than Apple and Google. I have been hearing they have potential for years...

yea, my first "smart" phone was an HP iPaq running Windows Mobile 5.

I barely post on SW now.
