    • Do anyone know how to calibrate the touch screens on an HP officejet. I'm either going to fix mine or throw it away. It's a 6500 Officejet.

      I was able to get to the menu to reset my printer, but when I get on to the screen to select a language I get no response from the printer. Any help is appreciated. My printer is an Officejet 6500a.

      In advance, thank you,
      Mr. Wright.

    • What should I charge to help assist a Network Crossover?

      A company bought out another company and I was asked to assist in doing a Network Crossover that involves:
      testing networks, server AD Migration...etc!
      What do you think is reasonable to assist. I don't want to come off asking for too much, but at the same time I don't want to cut myself either. Any help would be appreciated.

      Thank you in advance, |
      Chris.

      @scottalanmiller said:

      It also requires defining how the term "cloud" is meant to be used in this case. What is the overall goal?

      That's a great question. A question I will present once I go in for the interview. Any other questions on this matter should I ask to avoid the rolling eye scenario? lol! I would like to be armed and ready to ask the appropriate questions to be able to lock down the direct steps needed to get the job done on time, with in budget and with less down time.

      Well given that you will be interviewing in this case, I'll propose some ideas based on some assumptions that could be way off base.

      They probably want to go to a completely "hosted" model. The most common approach here, still today, is colocation and VPN. NTG does this. We colocate enterprise servers (one of our datacenters is in Mississauga near you) that we then run VMware vSphere on and virtualize all of our servers. We then add an enterprise VPN (we used to use IPSec, then OpenVPN and finally settled on Pertino) that connects every user into the "hosted network."

      With this model, we use traditional computing like Active Directory, SMB drive shares, RDP and any other LAN protocol and it all works right over the Pertino VPN network. We are able to manage our network like a traditional LAN while not being in a single office and having no on premises servers.

      Are you saying that NTG provides or use this service? If it provide this IT service, why would I suggest yall? That's taking food off my table. lol! However, it it uses this service then your scenario would be a great foundation to learn from. I have to see how many employees there are. To gage how big their system may be. It's my understanding that they even have a sister company in Toronto. It's an Wine company. Holidays should be nice around there...cheers! lol!

    • Adobe showing no love for Linux any more!

      I'm trying to update my flashplayer in Centos, but having some problems. Nevertheless, I stumbled upon this note. How many of you knew this:
      NOTE: Adobe Flash Player 11.2 will be the last version to target Linux as a supported platform. Adobe will continue to provide security backports to Flash Player 11.2 for Linux.

      If you don't know now you know (censored)!

    • Office 365 & Exchange Online

      I'm about to take on a challange for an old client of mine. He explained his network scenario to me and to be proactive I would like to get my Mentors input on how I should approach this scenario. I told him to get someone for a faster result, but he insist on giving me his business. I'm honored, but need to refresh on my Exchange knowledge.
      Can or would anyone like to help me?

      Here is the scenario:
      No one can share their Calendar properly. They are all using
      Office 365 via Outlook. Getting "Auto-Discovery Error," but
      diagnostics shows that Auto Discovery is working properly.
      N.B.: As a temporary fix, I've recommended that they use the
      Web version of the Calendar, instead of using it in Outlook.

      Additionally, they continue to use their local Exchange
      2007 Svr to create new email address (to forward and relay emails
      to and from the Cloud). Client wants to know if there's
      another way for them to do this or if they will always need to
      use that local Exchange Svr.

      @mrwright4hire said in Network Admins: What are your daily BEST PRACTICE:

      Once again, stepping into the role of Network Admin. I'm curious to know what are the new ideas / tools of today or is the daily tasks still the same. Any resources are welcome. Whenever I do a job, I'm passionate about it and would like to show my best.

      What are some great free tools out there? What are some bare necessity tools you think an Admin for today's network world should have in their bag of network weapons?

      Thank you for your time, input and tips,
      Mr. Wright.

      Are you asking us how to do your new job?

      Negative @Obsolesce. I'm asking exactly what I'm asking. I'm curious about new tools and if there are any new best Practice.

      Besides, even if I or anyone was asking that, it is my understanding that this site is about building, encouraging and empowering one another in the field of IT.

      Trying to make one look bad or expose someone's weaknesses as oppose to just either contributing to the question or not saying anything at all is NOT Best Practice for positive communication.

      What are some

      You should always have good old WireSHark, nmap included and a great network scanner.

      @dbeato what do you use for a network scanner? I use Advanced IP Scanner.

      A couple of years ago I came across these guys in Europe who had advertised on Kickstart. They created this device that acts as a Fluke network device, but you use you mobile phone. It's called "Pockethernet".

      It's amazing!

      @mrwright4hire are you asking about software tools or actual tools, like cable tester?

      I'm open to all of the above. I know technology changes like the weather, therefore I'm interested in knowing what's new out there.

    • RE: Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options

      @Dashrender said in Lenovo Bypass BIOS Options:

      Are you setting different admin passwords on each laptop you setup? Assuming so, why aren't you recording that somewhere?

      I have different groups of laptops that are going to different dept. to Execs. Someone mixed two of the stacks together and I couldn't recall all the pwd for them.

      That's when I decided to just use a Admin Key to bypass the login and reset the pwd accordingly.

      However, I was met with a challenge to enter the bios to boot from the USB.

      It's all good now. Once again, thank you to all!

      Gentlemen thank you for all of your help. For some reason, continuing to tap of the F# key for results wasn't working. This particular laptop prefer for you to hold down the F key. Laptops with an attitude.

      Yea, that didn't work either.
      Thanks Obsolesce.

      Then it must be coming out of sleep mode. Try a reboot, then hitting F12.

      I've tried that as well. I've tried hard shutdown and restart from the login screen.

      When starting up I just see the dots rotating in a circle, the screen turns blue and asking you to "Please wait a moment" and then...BOMB...I'm on the login screen.

      As stated in the title, the options to go to the bios are bypassed. I'm really trying to avoid formatting this drive.
