    • RE: Sharing folders with External users

      Im a fan of pydio for this. pydio isnt on Windows i dont think, but setting it up is easy.
      Using it to share files is even easier. Just upload the file to the share, right click and click Share. It generates an https link which you then just email to the people you want to share it with(outside the office obvs, as smb shares are easier in the office). When you dont want to share it anymore, just right click and unshare it. Now nobody can get it.

      Our techsupport people use this to email links for firmware update, user guides, product documentation for our customers. Our inventory people use it to give BOMs to people since those end up being too big for an attachment usually.

      I am just trying out nextcloud and it also does this, but is slightly different.

    • RE: Printer Using WSD vs IP

      WSD is so terrible. It automatically adds a printer to every pc on a network if network discovery is on.
      "Hey lets install this printer automatically when you join a network. Doesn't matter if youre an engineer and this printer is for HR, you logged in to the network you get this printer now."
      WSD takes control away from you; that's MS' new strategy: Control everything badly, but better than most IT people.
      But i suppose you cant really blame them when you see the terribleness of many IT people.
      Theres a post from ThanksAJ on spiceworks about this, have you tried that?

      You can try disabling WSD on the printer itself, if it isn't a service for Windows to see perhaps it wont try to use it.

    • RE: Backup solutions for Xenserver

      @jrc
      I use the Unitrends virtual appliance, and I am still loving my Unitrends setup. I'm not sure what you mean that XS is an afterthought for Unitrends. They are 1 out of about 3 vendors that support XS. Every problem(2) I have had with it in the last 8 months has been my fault. I am only backing up about 10TB and 40 or so vms though, perhaps your environment is a lot larger.
      0_1479151442310_upload-b207f1a4-d4a0-44bd-9d25-15ad10fdac05 This is with 1 gbit interface between xs and ueb
      It does do dedupe very well. I usually get about 40-60MB/s backup speed on full backups. Agent backups seem to be a bit slower.
      With XS and unitrends you have to have your network interfaces setup correctly in XS and the Unitrends appliance, or all sorts of stuff doesn't work well, or at all. You also need to make sure you aren't trying to backup too many vms at once on the same SR, which can lead to tapdisk unpause errors, tapdisk timeouts and other bad things. This seems to be a limitation of XS 6.5, not sure if 7 is better.
      My UEB has an interface on Network 0(mgmt. iface) of the XS host. And one other that is on another subnet so I can easily connect to the web server.

    • File search

      I want something that will index a file share. I want this to present a web page with a search box, and display results when I hit search.
      SharePoint is supposed to do this, but it doesn't.
      What other options are there?

    • RE: Overheating NICs in SuperMicro on FreeBSD

      Dang that is crazy. Could possibly find the chips on the mobo or card and put a heat spreader on it, like the ones they use for video card ram.

    • RE: What's good for a workstation these days?

      Full size atx board and case at home. ten hdd bays, ten usb ports in back 4 on top. 2 esata, 1 spdif, 1 digital coax. More available usb headers if I wanted to go nuts. 3pcix16 slots. At work obviously don't do that though. We have a few of these
      HP 110-500 Desktop
      I didn't buy them.
      the first time I picked one up I thought it was an empty case. The board is smaller than micro, some proprietary hp stuff outsourced to whoever makes the boards, and takes up about 25% of the area of the side of the case. Powersupply is an external brick that uses less than 50W max.They also suck as computers.

    • RE: Protecting companies from hourly employees

      In addition to having an HR policy regarding this, Windows makes it easy to enforce your access policy off hours. Every user account has a 'log onto' and 'logon hours' parameter where you can limit user access to specific devices, or to specific hours of the day. In exchange you can deny pop/imap/owa/activesync/mapi, whatever is required by your policy to adhere to it.

      10 minutes to install windows 10.
      less than 5 minutes total for Office 2016, Slack, Foxit.
      45 minutes to install a dozen Office updates, plus the Getting Windows ready bs when you restart. This is so much better than it used to be.

    • RE: XenServer 6.2 servers down. I have no Xen skill. Most likely networking? Help!

      Who is spindleinc\mgould? Is your Xenserver setup with AD integration? it looks like this is the case. Is mgould a disabled account in AD(this seems to be the guy who had your job, maybe). If so, that is a huge issue.
      Is there a reason you have 5 ISO libraries?
