If you're his manager/supervisor, fire him instantly. He's clearly stabbing you i the back. If you don't have the power to fire him, don't get him involved in any decision making anymore. He's probably the type of employee that will throw anybody under the bus just so he looks good.
Or simply confront him in front of the boss and ask why he's suddenly changing his mind.
Good sales email is no email.
If I want or need something, I'll look for it. If I get sales email that makes it through spam filter, it gets marked as spam anyway.
Person B needs to buy 12 pack for person A and ask him to give permissions to person C. It's a social problem, not a technical one.

Get a different machine for the CAD user, he'll be taxing CPU and GPU heavily. Get him Xeon workstation if you can, ideally something that's certified by CAD vendor. You'd be surprised how quickly they are to blame non-certified hardware if there are any issues with their software.
I got the email about it couple of months back. I told them to shove it, and warned that I would bill them for wasted time if they continued to bother me.
It's voluntary, tell them to get lost.
@gjacobse said in Route SIP calls through VPN connection:
Won't move closer to the AP, or even plug in a cable to test.
I think at this point it stops being IT issue and needs management involvement.

Anything else is just profanity.
Offering credit monitoring to affected customers is really like putting band aid on ruptured artery. Credit monitoring agencies are slow to detect anything, and can't prevent anything fraudulent. I had one year after Home Depot or Target breach, it took them over a month to notify me that I opened new credit card, or there was no reaction at all when additional credit cards were compromised.
What they need to offer is free credit freeze for life.
Linuxserver.io images are safe and very well maintained. Some are safer (Plex for example) and better documented than official images. And since all their sources are on Github, it's easy to verify them. I run their Unifi controller at work and at home.

Most software have help -> about menu option and it should list software vendor.
If you can log in
But we know the ERP is Oracle NetSuite. But like everyone, they went through a reseller and lost the more important contacts.
How about Oracle directly? They might have reseller info. Our previous ERP was from Sage, we bought it through reseller, but Sage had all the info too, ours, resellers and relationship between involved parties.
@scottalanmiller said in So You Lost Your ERP MSP?:
ERP sucks
Yup, all of them, with no exception.
no one in the company who knows who the ERP vendor is or how to reach them. Or the MSP that supports them.
Is this something that was written just for this customer? Most software have help -> about menu option and it should list software vendor.

@marcinozga said in ER-X firmware Upgrade:
It probably is bricked. The same happened to my ER-X when firmware 2 came out. I got it booted eventually over serial cable, and if I remember correctly it displayed something about internal storage.
I noticed others have had the same issue in the past.
I just saw the serial connection setup. Did you just use the USB-TTL device to connect?
The part that bugs me is I had check the storage issue prior to upgrade. Had 58% free so I figured I would be ok.
I used this cable:

I didn't bother with recovery, I just wanted to see what the issue was. I bought another ER-X and kept it on 1.x firmware.
It probably is bricked. The same happened to my ER-X when firmware 2 came out. I got it booted eventually over serial cable, and if I remember correctly it displayed something about internal storage.
I had 2 of ER-X, first one was bricked with 2.0 firmware update, 2nd I left at 1.9 if I remember correctly. The throughput numbers mentioned above just don't look right, this router will handle 1Gbit/s with some caveats. You need to enable hardware offload, and it kind of behaves like half-duplex. I constantly had download speeds exceeding 900Mbit/s, but if my upload spiked, download suffered.
@dashrender said in KVM or VMWare:
MS just killed Hyper-V so I get why it's not there.
Do you have a source of this claim? Because abandoning free Hyper-V server is not the same as killing Hyper-V. Server role is still there.
@eleceng said in Local Administrator Accounts Security:
On the various server VM's the customer wants a local admin account in addition to the domain admin account.
For security though should we disable the administrator account and create a different named local account with admin privileges instead?
Are we gaining a lot of security by doing this?
Thinking of using LAPS for these also.
Security through obscurity. Yeah, no. You're better off implementing some form of 2FA.
It's most likely the same issue. Print nightmare update or something along these lines. I've had the same issues, I went with registry workaround.

@carnival-boy said in Apple plans to scan your images for child porn:
But the software doesn't have the ability. We're going round in circles.
But it does, Apple themselves said that it does. It scans the whole device looking for whatever third party non-profits (and the government) tell it to search for. They could not possibly be more up front and clear about that. They aren't hiding this. You're claims don't seem to be that Apple won't do something bad, but that Apple is lying to make itself look bad. Why are you taking a stance that Apple is a good company, but lying? It's a very weird position to take without any reason to do so.
You are saying that the government could force Apple to provide them with data held on my phone. Apple can't do this, they don't have access to the data that this software gets and holds privately on my phone. The scan results are private (until uploaded to iCloud). Apple simply don't have the means to access the scan results.
That's my last post on this, I can't discuss with someone who just calls me weird.
How do you know they don't? Because they said so? Lol. Apple explicitly stated that this software will upload results to iCloud, so there you have it. Conditions that trigger the upload are irrelevant at this point, the fact that it can upload anything is. Scott above explained perfectly that single warrant will force them to fork any data over.
