We have our own fixed wireless, pair of Ubiquiti AirFibre 24's connecting 2 buildings about 1/2 mile apart, on towers @50ft. So far even during electrical storms we have had NO issues with dropped packets or sync loss, even with tower sway in the winds. Now, our past winter was not as snowy as a normal winter so I am not sure yet how it will behave when we get one of our infamous lake effect storms but so far absolutely no issues. Key was having a professional radio company actually do the installation and line up of the dishes where they had 1 guy on each tower and 1 ground guy at each site to assist with line up.
Locally, we have a fixed wireless ISP that offers traditional Internet, MPLS, and IPVPN services. I know one of the service/operations managers there and he says most issues be traced to bad alignment of the antenna (wind over time twists the mounts causing mis-alignment) or customers not getting enough height (rather not PAYING for enough height) to clear limitations like trees. Works well in the winter when no leaves, but come spring and summer the leaves deflect the signal and speeds drop. Any fixed wireless needs an annual look-see to make sure clamps are still tight and alignment is still ok.

Finally...got an older server here to boot Hyperv2012R2 from USB for a little experimentation

Catching up from a week off, realizing didn't get a thing done i wanted to whiel on vacation (as is usually the case, kids in the swimming pool take priority over freepbx installs)

On Dell you can install OpenManager right on the host (if running Hyper-,V I think @JaredBusch has a guide on here somewhere) and use that to monitor it and email alerts or send SNMP traps.

@siringo It's their take on a Garbage Plate (which originated at Nick Tahoe's in Rochester, NY USA.)

@mr-jones Xerox has a feature called WSD that allows for Windows to discover printers, sometimes automatically. Try disabling WSD on the xerox to see if that alleviates the issue (we disable it on all ours)

@mr-jones Xerox printer by chance?

@jim9500 We have been a Dell shop for years but tried out HP for a couple specific use cases maybe 5 years ago now? While we liked them, the fact that soon as the 3 year warranty was up we could no longer access SPP or any drivers for the product without a contract turned us right off and we've stuck by Dell.

@jt1001001 Turns out it was our firewall; we had configured a link monitor on one of the interfaces that would ping a (former) Level 3 DNS server (and only ping 1 server, wasn't me that set this up); and now that server doesn't' respond to ping requests anymore; and thus would bring the interface down. Reconfigured the link monitor to try pinging 3 differnet places before brining the interface down.

Dealing with a teams direct routing issue, suddenly not getting option requests from Microsoft to one of our sbc. Had to fail over to the other older sbc and circuit

Hiking today with the kids

@dashrender Had this happen with a Logitech moue where center wheel can be "moved" left-right. Wheel got stuck in clicked/down position. Did not find a way to turn off other than replace the mouse and have user reboot.

@JaredBusch On our tenant I had to authorize the Samsung email app for users on Galaxy s* handhelds who did not want to use the Outlook app.

Any idea what happened? Couldn't get to Mangolassi this AM
