@dafyre said in Offline Files:

That's not the option I'm thinking about then. There's one that will let you view the cached offline files (assuming you run the NTFS Undelete successfully)...

Yes but to view them the whole database that windows uses must be restored. It's not true files on the system that you are accessing with that.

@dafyre said in Offline Files:

Try using an NTFS Undelete program. That would recover the files in the Offline files folder.

You could also try doing a system restore, although I don't know if that restores the files in the Offline files cache or not...

There is a way you can view the offline files cache, but I don't remember where to find it. Maybe in the Windows Sync center?

I can recover some of the files in CSC cache but that does no good, they are all .Dat files used to make a database of all the files. They there isn't a file for every file you have synced in the cache so partial recovery is not possible. you have to have the files that make up the database for it to work.

Checked with multiple recovery companies they confirmed my suspicion

We don't use them but for some reason never disabled it administratively with a GPO..

Anyway user turns them on works fine for maybe a year. until today. Technician looks at it his drives aren't showing up at all. Shows he's working offline but the files don't show, weather he's connected to the network or not. Technician then disables the offline files and drives work.. problem is offline the user didn't have offline files setup properly they didn't sync to the server for a good while.

Anyway, check them with file recovery tools most of the C:\windows\csc\ was over written already. from my understanding offline files cache is a database, not individual files, so recovery would be all or none correct? So it wouldn't be worth sending the drive off for recovery?

Politicians make law

Lawyers/Judges interpret law.

This is executive vs judicial two different things, one makes law one does not.

It's not necessarily bad if thought out...

the problem is if he is just doing what is all too common in IT is making everything cookie cutter, do it once and repeat at each job.

TWC and TW are different companies.

In the news...

Um No Time Warner is short for Time warner Cable. and no those all fell through.

I suspect that the lack of detail is because I bought my own modem and do not use their gear.

Mine Matches and I own it. I would say modem model/firmware they loaded is more of the issue.

@DustinB3403 said

Because comcast is buying TW, so they are looking to find ways to circumvent Net Neutrality.

No they aren't. Level3 (one of the biggest) was just bought by TWC. Comcast would not be allowed to buy TWC

@thwr said in MS System Center Licensing:

Hehe. My point was just that MS did a very large step away from the SMB with SC2012. No more simple workgroup edition, complicated licensing and so on.

5nine can fill that gap, IMHO.

They've been gone from enterprise day one. System Center is junk. No one at the enterprise level uses it.

Keep in mind we're only using VMM - no other SC products. Under System Center Standard, do you need a Server ML for each VM in addition to each host? They both count as OSE's, right? We have 100 VM's - this is not an option.

We can upgrade our System Center ML to Datacenter for roughly twice the cost, and that includes unlimited VM's. With SCVMM, a Server ML covers two physical CPU's. So would I need to license only the physical endpoints, right? (IE - two hosts with 2 sockets each, hosting 100 VM's = 2 SC Datacenter Server CAL's)

Here's the deal, if you keep using the old version you still fall under the same licesnsing. IF you are using the newest(or newer) under SA you then have to follow the EULA for that version which means you do need to license each host if you did datacenter. with Standard you need one license for every two on the same host (it has VOSE just like server OS).

If you want Java 7 you will have to pay for support.

@Ambarishrh said in Alternatives to LMI:

@Jason check this gif from screenconnect, the end user machine doesn't have an agent, just enter the code, same way done on LMI, and it connects to the session. Once the session is completed, the screenconnect session gets cleared up

Guys, this is not at all what we we talking about. @JaredBusch you understand what we mean right?

@Jason @JaredBusch and I did a session just a few weeks ago and I didn't install anything.

So you and @JaredBusch are on the same network? That's the only way that would work

No...

Then you either have something installed or ran the agent

cloud. And the self hosted is going away

@Jason said in Alternatives to LMI:

Log Me in Does.. No agent has to be preinstalled for connecting on the local network without user interaction.

As someone that does not use LMI, how does it do that? I have no idea and I want to know. Is it using some windows protocol? Pushing an angent out on demand to execute and then destroy itself? I can see many ways it can do it, just want to know what it does.

I believe LMI says it uses the windows remote registry service to temporarily run for your session.

Which is similar to how ScreenConnect does it...

Um no. We demoed screen connect even they said it can't. The agent had to be preinstalled and Always running. You create the package and deploy it with a GPO.
