    • RE: Examining the Dell PERC H310 Controller

      @scottalanmiller , the H200, H310 and IBM M1015 using the same chipsets are real raid controllers just without caching or BBU. They're entry level devices meant for entry-level servers but are widely sought after for those running software "raid" (i.e. BTRFS, ZFS, and mdadm) due to their ability to be used in IT mode.

      I have created Raid 5, 6, and 10 arrays on these units and imported them successfully on other, more feature complete, controllers such as the H710 and P420.

    • RE: Ontario, Toronto roommate opportunity

      @scottalanmiller : Yeah, as per the other thread we had. Most of these type of jobs will likely be Mississauga, Etobicoke, Markham, Richmond Hill, and Waterloo.
      Downtown Toronto is pretty much Canada head-office territory for the big corporations. Lots of c-level and accounting but not a lot else.

    • RE: What Do You Want in a Helpdesk and Ticketing System?

      Proper scheduling! That's one of the major missing pieces for all the less expensive PSAs/ticketing systems. This is about the only thing that ConnectWise does really well:

      While in a ticket you can assign a status and then schedule the ticket for either
      a) perform this task on this day/time (i.e: you've made arrangements with a user to do X at time Y and it should take Z time to complete)

      b) follow-up with the user at this date/time for whatever purpose you deem necessary (i.e. pre-ticket closure email ensuring the issue is resolved to the client's satisfaction)

      Exchange / Outlook integration a huge plus...

      Also, time tracking via manual entry or start/stop.

    • Enable document and PDF previews in Nextcloud

      Seeing as how many of you use Nextcloud (thank you @scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch for your work on the deployment script), how does one get document previews to work?
      Libreoffice is installed and my config.php contains:

        'preview_libreoffice_path' => '/usr/bin/libreoffice',
        'enabledPreviewProviders' => array(
              'OC\Preview\PNG',
              'OC\Preview\JPEG',
              'OC\Preview\GIF',
              'OC\Preview\BMP',
              'OC\Preview\XBitmap',
              'OC\Preview\MP3',
              'OC\Preview\TXT',
              'OC\Preview\MarkDown',
              'OC\Preview\MSOffice2003',
              'OC\Preview\MSOffice2007',
              'OC\Preview\MSOfficeDoc',
              'OC\Preview\OpenDocument',
              'OC\Preview\PDF',
        ),
      

      Yet whenever I click on an doc/docx, xls/xlsx, or pdf I'm prompted to download instead of providing me a preview.

      The logs don't appear to contain any errors.

      Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    • RE: Find Source of Windows Mapped Drives

      @scottalanmiller - Note, this has be run under the user context and not administrator powershell. I couldn't figure out why none of my mapped drives were showing but then realized that I opened powershell as Administrator.

      Duh...

    • RE: Find Source of Windows Mapped Drives

      @jaredbusch said in Find Source of Windows Mapped Drives:

      @scottalanmiller Again, this does you likely no good, as the admin session likely has nothing mapped in the first place. but it does run as it should.

      @JaredBusch and @scottalanmiller and this is where my original comment came in about admin account. Most RMM tools run under elevated privileges and, therefore, return no data as they're not running under the user context. One could, however, likely do a "Start-Process powershell.exe -Credential "domain\user"" before the wmic command but it gets awfully complicated at that point.

    • RE: Office 365 Public Folder Cannot Receive Mail

      @bbigford said in Office 365 Public Folder Cannot Receive Mail:

      Going basic here as it disappeared on me in the past... Guessing you tried snagging the Partner app from the list of all apps again?

      Mine used to be in the top bar, MS removed that functionality until I hunted the list of all apps and added it to the side "blade".

      Oh, I wish it were this easy but it's just missing entirely. I think our portal became unlinked from our partner account somehow but the Partner support says it's an O365 issue and O365 support has been terrible.

      Microsoft has the WORST support of any company and, lately, their calls get dropped and they don't call me back about a few tickets we have in with them. When we reach back out to them we're told that they're having "phone issues".

      They must be using Microsoft's phone solution 🙂

    • RE: Dumb question - linux dd write 0s to multiples disks at once

      "screen" is available within the bootable USB.
      screen dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda1 bs=1M
      Ctrl-A then D to detach
      Up arrow then enter 3 more times...

      This will continue to run even if the console is lost (ssh) or if the user logs out
      screen -R to re-attach a session if you want to check the status

      Having said that:
      dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=1 conv=notrunc
      Should take only seconds and delete the partition table and is less work than using fdisk in the event that wipefs isn't available on the bootable USB.

    • RE: Outlook Out of Memory to Open Large Folder

      @romo : I'm not saying that this is the problem but I suspect it definitely doesn't help. I do have to ask WHY in the world someone would need delegate access to 43 mailboxes?

      Have you tried recreating the profile yet?

      I should also state that Outlook really doesn't like OST files of that size. Is that really JUST 1 year of email (as per your sync settings) or was that setting changed well past the 1 year mark?

    • RE: Search text file for pattern

      @Pete-S : grep can use regular expressions to search using the pcre syntax.
      If you could provide a sample of a piece of text that you want matched we may be able to help.
      Otherwise, use regexr.com and it'll help you build the expression.

    • RE: Search text file for pattern

      I should have noted that grep likely wouldn't like complicated RE patterns. Sed, however, supports the full gamut and is installed by default on pretty much every linux variant; not sure if pcregrep is.

      It seems everyone likes the link I posted for the RE builder so I'll paste two others that I use:
      https://regex101.com/

    • RE: Microsoft Multi factor auth down worldwide

      Just came on here to check as I cannot access my partner portal and, therefore, delegate admin accounts.
      Figured if there was an issue that someone on ML would have mentioned it and.. VOILA!

      Well this sucks. Microsoft Authenticator App, code, SMS, and Phone 2FA all down 😞

    • RE: Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect

      It's quite possible that I had come across the old mesh v1 documentation when I first looked at it weeks ago.
      This clearly shows the "install/uninstall" or "Connect" options for the installer.

      Thanks.

    • RE: [Solved] All computers cannot access 1 specific site

      @scottalanmiller : As far as I can determine, it was "broken". I didn't go down the route of performing a factory reset as the device was older and I was looking for an excuse to replace it with an ER4 anyways.
      Customer wasn't willing previously despite the fact that the unit was old enough that I had to run Firefox 30 (2014) to admin it and that specific model/firmware was listed as having several vulnerabilities.

      Doing a bit of a deep dive I found NO reason that it was denying access to this one specific site and a reset may have "fixed it", but I didn't relish going through the painful steps of setting it back up again.

      ER4 was cheap enough that, with this problem plus the aforementioned admin issues and vulnerabilities, the customer was willing to upgrade.

      Essentially it was a blessing in disguise.

      Tangentially, why is it that the Orgs with the most amount of spare cash are the least likely to part with it?
