Customizing the snipeit.sh script to support only Fedora and Ubuntu because I can.

That's probably a good thing, make life easy. Post an updated link when done

@nadnerB God I want to upvote that more than once!

Disk2vhd or use vmwares conversion tool.

If you buy the software you can use this:

Ah, so you don't know either. Would have been quicker to just say that you couldn't find anything. Obviously I'd Googled and also not found an answer. Using LTGTFY when you don't get a result doesn't exactly make much sense, because it shows that I already did all that and makes it look like you didn't want to just say that you couldn't figure it out.

TL:DR @VoIP_n00b don't be a dick

@Dashrender People simply didn't want to have their handset taken away and replaced with a headset. This org was not a call center by any means.

oh.. OK yeah, we're going to have a bit of hard times around here for the same reasons... but I expect many will like the new freedom they'll have to work from anywhere in the building, not tied to a specific desk. But time will tell...

Yeah I tried to get my management team at the time to perform a survey of the options, eventually they did, and something like 98% of respondents said they wanted a handset (and not a headset).

Of course, they all got headsets anyways. This was also on Microsoft SfB exclusively for the phone. Only conference rooms and private offices/reception had actual phones.

Now you'd be using MS Teams if that was your provider.

I think ALL of mine asked for headsets.

Yeah but different use case from your standpoint and the org I was at. The only people who may need a headset with where I was, truly would've been reception.

Most other people use their cellphones (before any change) or a proper desk phone. The learning curve of "answer" your computer when it rings is what through people for loops.

For a soft phone approach, any USB headset would work. We previously deployed Logitech H390's out (because of cost). They work, but no one likes them.
