The SysAdmin team I am a part of uses Eaton almost exclusively at the moment. I love how easy the units are to install compared with similar options from other companies! The straps are excellent! lol.

I have two VM hosts currently, but only one has the free space to take this as a P2V. The software on it isn't supported anymore, and can't be upgraded. It's more or less just a read only type situation.

The last time I kicked off a P2V to took 4 days and eventually failed because we had a power outage right at the end.

ROFL.... 98.... 99%.... blip 1....2.....

Fixed that for you.

I HAVE THE POWER!!! (Whoever gave it to me went straight to the loony house.)

HUGE COLLOSSAL POWER
itty bitty living space.

Are any of your PDUs capable of being remotely managed? So we can power stuff on / off remotely?

@IRJ Very comparable when it comes to price and functionality. We do offer a 3-year warranty that covers the entire UPS and the battery: http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/3S.aspx?cx=3

Typical desktop models:
Eaton 3S: http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/3S.aspx?cx=3
Eaton 5S: http://powerquality.eaton.com/Products-services/Backup-Power-UPS/5S.aspx?cx=3

The 5S has a nice LCD screen.

We just had a 2.5 hour outage yesterday and I hadn't replaced my desktop UPS yet. I'm ordering this right now (Amazon has it for $200 for the 1500 model.. awesome price!)

What good timing!

Only way it could have been better is if he got it BEFORE th power outage, lol.

Wow... The interwebs have gone silent all of a sudden! gasp The horror!

@Dashrender If they're all under 30, their "adult" metabolism hasn't kicked in yet, ha ha ha.

actually i didn't use KSOS 4 for a long time to explore its new feature, i'm ok now with KSOS 3
but i wonder why they make the remote management as a web console, ??? it is a bad idea, let us suppose i lose internet connection in this case i cannot manage my workstations

If you can't manage your workstations because you have no internet... you have bigger problems, lol.

It may be worth reporting the end users who continuously ask to have their passwords reset to their respective managers (even if they are employees of the other company).

I say this because if EmployeeA from the other company leaves and they never disable that employee's account, they potentially still have access to your stuff after they are no longer employed. If you have a website that helps them reset their passwords... They should be directed to it... Every. Single. Time. Hold their hands a few times and let THEM do the password reset while you watch over their shoulder or do a screen sharing session.

The end users never learn anything if we juts keep doing it for them.

I am trying to recuperate from a long day Saturday of cutting down, and hauling trees back home to be turned into firewood... And Chasing the kid all over central Georgia yesterday (found a bouncy house place called Monkey Joe's -- kid had a ton of fun) followed by Pizza for supper.

Today is a holiday in the US for schools and such so now I'm working on making firewood... right after lunch, lol.

I've been looking for one too... You gotta watch out though... Some of the free ones hide session limits in the fine print. (I think Zoom US limits meetings to 15 minutes).

If you are just doing a presentation, I like http://meet.jit.si

You can create your own URL and screen sharing is dead simple. However, I should mention: You get ZERO remote control capabilities.

Mikogo is another alternative (http://mikogo.com) that is free. Join.me isn't terrible for me. I've used it several times and it's been ok.

@Dashrender I think he's talking about Git functionality. There are third party applications that you can use for Git functionality in Windows (Tortoise Git, as well as the windows Git binaries), but that is not as useful as it could be since the majority of apps are now storing configuration files off in the registry. Git also does not want to work with the User's Documents folder on Windows (it didn't when I tried it!).

Next release (4.11) will be awesome!

• Incremental backup

Now I have to set it up, that is AWESOME!! AWESOME!! AWESOME!!

What makes this even better is the fact that you can share this container with the rest of us.

ROFL. I feel bad for those of us that really have been in some "IT" field since we heard the word computer. I was programming them before I could spell computer, lol (started when I was 5...)... I actually started making a few bucks working on people's computers when I was aorund 10... So I've been in IT for 26 years (I'm 36 now).
