@Lakshmana happy birthday BTW. (Not stalking you or anything)

Given that a person has a Google+ profile, you can iterate through all emails you think a person might have saving these in Contacts. When you get their correct email the link to G+ will show automatically in the top right within the user details. I use this trick all the time when trying to figure out Google employee emails.

It's been a couple years since using Windows on a regular basis but I know on ChromeOS and macOS Shift-Ctrl-V or Shift-Cmd-V gets rid of any formatting

@scottalanmiller @Breffni-Potter woudn't you guys fall under one of the categories "partner, reseller, or consultant" - these are specifically mentined as not being eligable to recieve free eqpt.

One of the PORSCHE DESIGN HUAWEI MATE 9 is soon en route to me

Anything out there that has curated questions for IT staff rather than these coder focused platforms?

How do I force a wlc 2504 to re-evaluate Dynamic Channel Assignment values for each AP? I've set the channel assignment method interval to 10min but just wondering how I could force it if needed.

Google Hangouts coupled with RingCentral to give you a voice only bridge if you happen to need that as well.

Example of it in action: Hangouts and RingCentral

For meeting rooms add in a Chromebase for Meetings machines or re-purpose a cheap 2nd hand Chromebox by using Ctrl+Alt+H to put into Hangouts kiosk mode. Still need the CfM annual license but saving about 50% on unit cost is nice.

For an open source Slack alternative check out Mattermost

Has anyone set one of these up? I've found a guide for Azure but trying to find a guide to do this with in house resources. Trying to get finance guys to migrate data to a db and use python / R or something similar just isn't possible unfortunately.

@DustinB3403 btw result #4 from your query when I ran it
Why You Should Never Again Utter The Word, “CIFS”

@larsen61 said in Google blocking our business:

This happened a few times recently and I was at a loss until the 2nd time it happened a sales guy walks over to me and says, hey I just ran this tool and I think I broke Google. He was using a chrome plugin that was a lead gen workaround to LinkedIn search query limitations. You can get around the LinkedIn limit by Googling profiles and this tool scripted the Google searches which put the captcha in place.

Just had a .yoga domain migrated to uniregistry.com after they acquired mindsandmachines.com and initial impressions of the UI are very positive. Anyone been using them to give feedback on how good they might be once getting into the features and support?

@Carnival-Boy said in Managing Android mobiles:

Well, apparently the salesman from the phone company told someone here that Samsung phones have better phone reception (lol!). Yeah, nothing to do with the margins they'd make on selling us said phones.

Btw, don't buy your phones and voice/data contract together. Buy your devices on your own, unlocked and get a SIM only type deal with the provider. You'll pay more for this no matter what you decide to go with and then have the added burden of unlocking the device when you want to change carriers.

Our contract came to an end recently and we managed to cut costs from £50/user/month to £8/user/month with more minutes and data but have yet to spend £15,000 difference on the handsets. We've spent about £3,500 so far upgrading or replacing damaged devices and we're more than half way done with the 12 month contract. Which is the other benefit, you don't get stuck with them for 2 or 3 years as usual when getting a device from the provider.

I manage both and have to disagree here that iOS is more built for work. They both are very well suited for business use and Android gives you more options and features especially as a user.

Cost is another big factor. Getting a high end Android phone is going to cost considerably less than any iOS comparable device. We are using the OnePlus 2 and 3 which is no less then £150 cheaper than an SE device but more comparable to the 6 is specs/performance/features.

First of all you can fully manage a company owned android device if you want to have full control over it and nobody can remove this and sign in or do anything you don't want them to do. You can even prevent a device from being factory reset in this type of setup.
Assign a device owner to a managed device

If you're lucky enough to be on Google Apps the MDM (soon MAM too) management comes free as part of the domain. There's also the lack of dual-sim phones for iOS which as we've started to provide staff with these we've had a huge increase in requests for company provided, dual-sim android phones. Keeping data split between personal and work is also possible with Android which isn't on iOS.

Apple of course have DEP and VPP which can help with device management and app purchases and if you're already using Casper, for example, device management is as an optional extra built into their platform.

Yes, I would presume you have access to the local lan via VPN and then access is available to those 'local' machines.
