You've got BASH on Windows now, right?
You mean that pointless thing that want interact with anything else.. yeah. It's pointless.
It should still parse text, though. In theory. Maybe.
Assuming it has access to the base system and not just it's own container. From everything I've read so far it's more like a Docker container than actually BASH on Windows... if you want that you're still stuck with cygwin or the like.
Parse text sure.. getting the text he wants with a script into it in the first place, not so sure.

RE: OSX Server - Free?
OSX Server is just an App and it doesn't do that much. Good thing it's only $20.

RE: Does anyone have a TightVNC guide for business use?
@DustinB3403 said in Does anyone have a TightVNC guide for business use?:
GPO's aren't something we'd bother with for part time employees.
Huh? You just do one GPO with group filterings on the mappings based on who gets it. Use the same groups that give premissions to map the drive makes it really simple. If they are in a group that gives them permissions then they will automatically get the drive mapping.
Part-Time vs Full time doesn't change IT practices.

Three SSD drives in RAID5 shouldn't be an issue at all. SSDs eliminate some of the negatives of RAID5.
Yep.. SSDs in a RAID 10 is a waste..

., but the CEO immediately shot down anything with that kind of latency.
Why is this the CEO decision? He shouldn't even be in involved. That should be the IT Director and CIO.

RE: Ubiquiti wifi bridge static on VoIP calls
@Mike-Davis said in Ubiquiti wifi bridge static on VoIP calls:
Both are mounted to the building like this. It doesn't seem like they can move.
The correct mount for this type things is a very sold mast (or schedule pipe) and an clamp around the pipe, something like that will move out of alignment.

@BBigford said in Oh, soft phones...:
Edit: I'm digressing though. How is everyone tying in their central directory? Is it something manual during the on-board process that you add them to your directory, LDAP tie-in, etc?
No point in duplicating work. Make it easy. we used LDAP search. There is a reason there an IP Phone Field in AD/LDAP. Use that as the primary number then you can set the Phone Number (External DID) and Cell as Alternate numbers in the directory. Everything is automated this way.

@Dashrender said in Oh, soft phones...:
why do those customers feel like they are locked in?
Because changing phone numbers can be very bad for a business.. heck, It could shut some down..

RE: Faxing
@Dashrender What makes you think a fax is secure? there is no encryption, there's no verification of who it's going to or who got it. A plain text email is more secure than a Fax. just because Doctors and lawyers like doing things wrong doesn't mean everyone else should.

RE: Faxing
@Dashrender said in Faxing:
As for the fax printing out on a MFP sitting in the middle of the office. Sure, so this is one area where email clearly wins out. Though in my case, in medical cases, there are very little if any limitations on who can/should be able to see anything medical coming in on the fax machine.
So What's the access control method for the Fax machine? is there a door with a biometric lock, pin code or what? Otherwise anyone in the office should be consider as potentially seeing any information sent.

Yeah it's not the greatest tool out there, but the integration with Outlook is pretty awesome. Plus if you have businesses you deal with that use it you can incorporation the SfB systems so you can message across domains.
We never found anyone that would do that and the functionality was so poor that we gave up on it.
Plus that can be a liability to the business. iMs aren't logged at most company's, emails usually are.

RE: Lotus Notes
This shows how little I know about it.. only 20 people or so have it in the company we bought out.. tiny amount. Turns out they aren't even using it for email. There was a custom app built inside of it a long long time ago. Horrible idea. Now we got to find a way to replace it.

When I saw the topic title "Lotus Notes" I thought "hey, an archaeology project"
I do warn people against this kind of thing, and one of my old specialities was moving people from old MS Access and various other legacy garbage to typically intranet web based applications. I like doing that kind of thing.
Yep we would have never done it.. There IT was crap (and a lot of it was outsourced).

@Minion-Queen You might consider a brief stop in Monument Valley as well, it is quite impressive. The four corners might be another quick stop too.
Hey, if you're going to LA anyways, stop by Los Gatos and see all the Pertino guys! @Josh , @CraigElliott , and the rest!
Except Pertino is no more and it's replacement is junk

@adam.ierymenko said in ZeroTier Question:
DNS is fundamentally not designed for concurrent use on more than one network.
This exactly. And the problem is that people keep trying to make it do it.
While I do not disagree with you... The problem is (at least in my opinion) an easy to fix problem... Give the DNS the ability to separate stuff out... a DHCP server can do it... why not DNS? Programatically, it's not that different (not the same, by any stretch of the imagination)... but definitely doable.
There is a huge difference here, DHCP is handing out requests in their respective scopes to allow network communications beyond layer 2.
DNS allows things to be found and Unifies Networks, It's assumed there there is routing setup between any and all the network in DNS, DNS is not "smart" in anyway it just response back with what it knows. It doesn't care who's asking.. What you are saying is filtering DNS based on subnet and that gets very complex and likely will be cases where it causes issues.
