Nothing new under the sun but hopefully a helpful reminder.

@stus

Do you have any comment to all this stuff? Is it possible it is a few rogue sales people?

It seems your view and what is actually happening to most ML users are not in sync.

Most? You need to learn how to count.

Well it is not "all", so what word would you have picked?

Several?

A few, Some

Comodo...harassment? Surely not...

How do we get the sales calls to stop? After getting screened to voicemail 3 dozen times then being told "we're not interested" doesn't do the trick. Or do I need to individually tell everyone on the entire sales team "we're not interested"?

One of their sales people even found me on social media after her phone calls and emails went unanswered for months..

Does this particular rep have a name that starts with T? This is why I can't let certain vendors anywhere near my clients. They don't want the nonsense.

The need for a degree is due to the HR machine, would that HR machine look at the school in question and filter you out automatically?

This is something that people mention a lot and it definitely happens in the absolute lowest end jobs. But how often does it actually happen? I've never seen it in real life.

It happened to me at a widely known venue in central London. This was not a low end role, this was a technical position. CV and application was submitted into an online machine after researching it, did exactly what we dread, keyword scored it and I never heard back.

The Intel compute sticks have had not great reviews when I last researched them. Might want to do a bit of checking.

But a real security company charges for that. A fake security company will do it for free and the results will be meaningless.

My OP I thought was very clear in that I was ranting a bit. But ok...

It looked like a rant about ever using the "everyone" group in AD. I know what you mean now though.

Open a ticket with 365 support, you guys are a partner so get priority.

Treat it like a normal migration. Back up mailboxes, remove domain on 365-1 add and verify to 365-2, carry on.

What WP Theme are you using? A lot of the content is not aligned (i.e pricing 1 is lower than 2 and 3)

Right now you have an explanation on certifications, why security is a problem and the services you offer but why would I pick you over anyone else? I know the who and I know the what but give me the why.

Is it bad that my reaction upon reading was:
Youtube Video

Don't buy new, look towards refurbs for certain.

@larsen161 said in Get your free Meraki gear!:

@scottalanmiller @Breffni-Potter woudn't you guys fall under one of the categories "partner, reseller, or consultant" - these are specifically mentined as not being eligable to recieve free eqpt.

Where was this specifically mentioned? Oh yes they wheeled that out after the webinar but it was required. The TLCs I read said "Businesses only, valid business details required, must attend webinar" and that was the only requirement.

Ubiquiti gear is so much better, it's worth spending the money not to be saddled with Meraki stuff

Wow. Sorry for trying to give people access to free gear.

Attended the webinar, spoke to Cisco rep afterwards, did not want to send the gear. Number of Meraki installs I've done = 0. Number of Ubiquity installs = Lots.

Cisco lost out on a lot of sales over that 1 botched webinar.
