Upgrading my brothers HP 2000 notebook from Windows 8 to Windows 10..
He called me because he couldn't get it to boot, got it to finally boot after changing the boot order, but this thing is disgustingly slow. and errors keep popping up about disk failures and now I lost the hard drive completely in the Boot Order.. LOL
Probably just going to push them towards chrome books (this is for school.. after all)
Don't upgrade, reinstall.
@fateknollogee said in IT Support: $ fee's charged:
Client has the following:
10x pc's
1x server
3x network printers
1x fax machineTask:
Provide general IT support.Time:
Must be available to take calls 5am - 4pm: M-F and 6am - 2pm: 2x Saturdays per month.Question: what would you charge per month?
I don't charge per month. It is an adversarial relationship, always.
MSP style billing would be ~ $125 for the server and ~ $45 per computer with an added charge or increased fee due to Saturday and early AM requirements.
So $575 at a minimum for that model.
Now break that back into hourly based on your billable rate. For @Bundy-Associates that is less than 4 hours per month when we are being generous.
And I can guarantee that updating and rebooting the server will eat an hour per month.
That only leaves 3.5 hours for user issues.
Waiting on the COVID vaccine 15 minute observation time to tick away so we can leave.
My wife just got her first shot.

Earlier I met up with @Dashrender and @Yonah-S for lunch in downtown Chicago.
As noted in another post, I had a crappy but serviceable python script to create a Yealink formatted Remote Address Book. Then a random upvote on a post from a few months ago on SW reminded me that George1421 had mentioned that he had a php script to do the same thing.
So I contacted him and asked if I could have it, and then if I could publish it. Being the awesome guy he is, he said sure.
His original script is now on github.
After reading it, I tweaked it to suit my own needs and added some comments and examples for the rest of the word and published it as ylab.php, short for Yealink Address Book.
First, get the script onto your FreePBX install. Simplest is to copy paste it into vi or nano. The file needs to be in the web directory. You can put it in a subfolder if you want. I just leaving it in the root.
nano /var/www/html/ylab.php
Paste in the text from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sorvani/freepbx-helper-scripts/master/ylab.php
Save the file and then give ownership to asterisk.
chown asterisk:asterisk /var/www/html/ylab.php
Now navigate to the URL of your PBX /ylab.php and make sure you can see the extensions.
https://pbx.domain.com/ylab.php
Now that you know it works, setup your phone.
Here is the config file method
Programmable key 2 is the second button from the left on the bottom of the screen of most Yealink Phones, and just where I like to put this. I also set the refresh to 3 hours (10800 seconds).
features.remote_phonebook.data.1.name = ylab
features.remote_phonebook.data.1.url = https://pbx.domain.com/ylab.php
features.remote_phonebook.flash_time = 10800
programablekey.2.type = 22
programablekey.2.label = Contacts
programablekey.2.xml_phonebook = 0
If you do not use config files, here is how you put it in the GUI.

@travisdh1 that's a good idea.
I know it's a shipt topic, but ....
I can remember the trouble my mum had when dad passed away & there's been a few folks who are friends of friends who have died suddenly, just makes you think....
My Mom often tells me about where she has passwords/account numbers/etc written down and locked in a safe. Morbid but necessary shit. I had to think about it myself when I spent 3 weeks in hospital. Nobody would be able to get into anything of mine, personal or work.
I had this thought this week and was already preparing that document to hand over to our Managing Director should she ever need to seize control of my accounts to take over.
A friend of mine has emergency access to my LastPass. Aside form all the passwords, there is a note about the MFA on my phone and how to access my phone.
Additionally, I store all of the MFA backup codes for a site in the note section of a site in LastPass.

Corning and imaging are two totally different things as the others have said. You need to define what you actually want to do here more clearly.
Okay. I believe I want to know more about Imaging. Actually the curiosity to know about Imaging arise from my previous post, where @scottalanmiller mentioned "Imaging should take around thirty minutes and, in reality, we are often getting that number lower and lower." It was regarding restoring the system when it is not working properly.
Yes which is fine, imaging is about restoring or setting up a system to an initial state where all the applications are installed and activated and ready to be used. It doesn't restore however the user's information.
And that is the big difference in a nutshell. User and fix their computer, you apply fresh image and connect user documents
Right, the thing to remember here - the desktop PC should have zero data on it. All data should be saved/synced to some place else so it can be accessed from a newly deployed image.
In my case at the only client that I can use imaging because they’ve purchased volume license of windows 10, we apply the image which includes the Nextcloud client we log into Nextcloud client let it download all their data again and then we change their documents desktop downloads etc. to point to the Nextcloud folder.
Server was slow all day.. checked things no errors. Checked iDRAC, no errors in RAID array.. /shrug
Arrived on site just after 6pm, ran updates on the hypervisor and rebooted.
server did not come online....
Fuck.. Went into server room, 3 of 6 drives offline.
Thank god for OBR10..... All three disks were part of a different span (mirror).
Rebooted server and continued past the controller warning to get hte server online.
Waiting for the host to get stable with the degraded array and slotted one drive back in. It spun up and auto rebuild kicked in. Waited 10 minutes between drives and did the other 2 also.
Now waiting for the rebuild to finish.
You delete the files manually with a cron job.
# crontab -l
#Delete all files older than 30 days. Check daily at 06:00
0 6 * * * find /var/www/html/nextcloud/data/username* -mtime +30 -type f -delete
Then you run the Nextcloud rescan script.
sudo -u apache php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ files:scan --path=username
As everyone who reads my guides knows, I prefer to start my Fedora installs from a clean Minimal install using the NetInstall image.
Cockpit is a lightweight web interface that you can use to manage your Linux based servers. For me that means Fedora.
Like all core functionality, the installation and configuration is a snap.
Install Cockpit and its dependencies.
dnf -y install cockpit
Start the service and enable it to start on subsequent boot up.
systemctl start cockpit
systemctl enable cockpit.socket
Allow connections in through the firewall
firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload
Navigate to your server ip on port 9090
https://IPAddress:9090
Like most tools, it uses a self signed SSL certificate that will generate a warning to click through.
You should be greeted with the log in page.
@thwr You want this, or possibly a vented one with filters.

Here is the dashboard form a coupe different clients.
So you are all fancy and you have a wiki for your documentation. How do you have it structured?
@tim_g said in Website internal/external:
I don't see why that's causing issues. Is this a problem specifically with Cisco stuff... or something extra you need to pay for that everything else "just does"?
It is not restricted to Cisco. It is also not a new thing. It has always been an issue. But in today's world, almost no one hosts public sites on internal networks, so many people have no idea what this is.
Fun fact, I have been using UNMS on EdgeSwitch since 1970..
I use clonezilla for this.
I have no problems going to a smaller disk. Just have to use the right options.
Seriously, very little of anything needs to be a static IP.
Almost everything works on DNS. Even SQL servers. No one has an app that connects to SQL by IP. They use DNS names.
I have a client with a Fusion Arch CNC SawJet.
The client has recently upgraded from Server 2003 and SQL 2005 to Server 2012 R2 and SQL 2014.
Their LOB app connects to the new SQL database just fine.
This CNC machine does not.
This machine is running Windows XP
Just looking at the list of Ciphers, I have a feeling that this is the problem.
My Google is failing me, but I cannot find where to determine what SQL Server supports for encryption on log in.
It looks like Exchange doesn't like it when the Hyper-V Integration services are updated.
Totally kills the VM because the Exchange services cannot handle the network updating.
Google tells me to disable all the Exchange services prior to applying the update.
Haven't had time to test that yet.
