think it's only $0.25 per mailbox per month....I'd looked at them and it was not per mailbox, but by per alias. So the actual cost for us was more than O365 or Gmail!
where are you seeing that scott?

RE: How do YOU provide a physical VDI demo?posted in IT Discussion
I have taken my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 before and logged into a desktop from the tablet. A few people have been impressed by that. Light to carry to a meeting and can use in the meeting as well. I always have a company background with logo on the desktop just to make it visually appealing as well.

think it's only $0.25 per mailbox per month....For my personal test, I just started using them. But other than that we use Barracuda CLoud and Mimecast on other servers that are on production.
How are you finding them? I have used Mimecast in the past, filtering is really good. Obviously more costly though.

RE: How do YOU demo VDI?posted in IT Discussion
Make sure you choose the right storage method for VDI if you are doing this yourself, otherwise you will have a right shit storm. You will save money and resources if you can use session based desktops rather than VDI based. there are only specific cases when you need VDI desktops I find. If you have session based desktops you can also have 2 sessions hosts and if you spec them properly you can put one in maintenance mode for updates, software installs etc and shift everyone else on to the other server temporary.

I know Nextcloud documents can be password protected, you could fire up a VM and install Nextcloud.

RE: Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternalsposted in News

@StuartJordan said in Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternals:
...it would still probably be less than windows though because you need to elevate privileges on Linux and we all know most people run with admin privileges on windows.
That's not related to Linux vs. NTKernel (the Windows Kernel.) They are essentially identical there. You are seeing "common approaches from the userbase" and perceiving that behaviour as being caused by the kernel code, but it is not.
Run Windows uses on a Linux-based OS and they will behave the same as they always did. Put Linux-based OS users on Windows and they are secure. It's the userbase, not the product, that has that effect.
Windows is just as much "need elevated privileges to run" as any highly secure Linux distro, but Windows end users are way more likely to work around that, and be accepting of third party products that demand it.
Port the Windows desktop to Linux, literally nothing will change, because those users will come along with it.
I suppose I was meaning the userbase more then the actual kernel in that statement.

@StuartJordan But by rewriting all of their software packages...
Why would they do that? All they need is a Windows API on top of Linux, the same way they do with a Linux API on top of Windows already. This is stuff that they do every day and are very good at. Reversing it is no harder than doing it the way that they do it now.
True, I think it would be a good move for them, I don't think they see Windows as their main bread a butter anymore, they have even reduced the windows team. Their main focus seems to be Azure these days.
Moving to a unified kernel would add some risk that the "entire" world moved to just one kernel. There are reasons that we, as consumers, don't want that. From a Microsoft perspective, the cost savings would be enormous. It's amazing that they pay to build their own kernels when there is so little value in the kernel for the past couple of decades.
And they still don't run, and never once have, a kernel that they made themselves. The one that they use now is taken from OS/2 and was jointed developed with IBM in the 1980s.
I wonder how much of that original code is still in the Kernel?
I have to agree that Linux would have a bigger attack area if everyone moved over to using it. We would probably see some unsavoury malware and Viruses created, it would still probably be less than windows though because you need to elevate privileges on Linux and we all know most people run with admin privileges on windows. -

RE: Microsoft to Launch Linux Version of Sysinternalsposted in News
It makes me wonder how far Microsoft are willing to go down the route of creating their own distribution, would be very beneficial and save costs if they didn't have to manage their own kernel anymore. I'm sure they could make their distribution compatible with windows applications as well.

RE: Why I See UTMs As Generally Bad in the Current Marketposted in IT Discussion
An interesting topic, we could go on from this by recommending how to run the individual services correctly outside of the UTM device. IDS/IPS, DPI. Etc. That would be a good topic as well.
