I hope at least taking a fan with you?

@Dashrender said in GPO issue:

I would change this up by applying your GPOs to the OU above these WLS OUs, then set filters to only apply to the users you want.

So in the case of the Library, you've already created a security group, so you'll grant permissions to that group.

Then you'll need to create a WLS-Faculty security group and do the same with it's GPO.

So the GPOs would be at 'domain level' not in the OU level...Like this?

Then I apply the security groups from there? That makes sense.

Correct. Now any user in the Domain (aka located in any OU), within the security group you created should have the GPO applied.

Side note - I ALWAYS make sure I set security filter BEFORE I enable the GPO. The last thing you want is some user logging in after you save the GPO and getting access to items they should not.

Slack isn’t worried about Microsoft’s big Teams push

Slack’s CEO compares Microsoft’s Teams bundling to Google+
Microsoft revealed last week that it now has more than 13 million people using its Microsoft Teams chat software, a milestone that means the app has overtaken Slack.

It's hard not to agree. Actual engagement is the only thing that matters.

Actually, it's businesses being willing to pay for the service is all that matters.

It’s not something you pay extra for since it’s bundled with O365.

You are.

If you want Slack, it's not because you also want Google Sheets or Zimbra email with XYZ. It's because you want Slack because of what business needs it covers.
Slack is $6-$12 per user per month.

If you just want MS Teams (which is a legit need by the way), too bad, you also have to pay for other stuff you may or may not need or use.
MS Teams will cost you $5, which is cheaper than Slack, which does NOT include Office or Office Suite, but does include Exchange... whether or not you need it. To get Office, it's a minimum of $12.50 for Business Premium (< 300 users). Otherwise, you're buying enterprise O365 licenses which just goes up.

We switched from SFB/Teams to slack plus. Waste of money IMO. I didn't like either of them because I don't like chat for work.

Email is really abused and extremely inefficient for most of what it's typically used for within most organisations.

I cannot up vote this enough. You can add spreadsheets to the abused and extremely inefficiently used platform, IMHO.

And I can't upvote this enough. Have you ever had to deal with MS Dynamics? shudders

Nope. Thank goodness.

My brother's company makes him use a HUGE HUGE spreadsheet for part of their Inventory processing so Management. Heck, put it in a stupid Access DB for crying out loud. But, but, but, Excel can give Management the pretty pie chart they want..

He last logged in a year and a half ago. Only nine posts. I bet he's not watching here

Bummer. I tried him and others at "the other place" but just dang crickets. Heck, even had crickets on this subject from Dell themselves. No problems with Dell answer questions product questions for sales. UGH

I pinged him, we will see if he sees it.

Ivan replied and was about to investigate my issue.

I tried to sign up again early last week but never heard anything like the last many times. For the heck of I tried to sign up again about 20 min ago and now it told me I already had an account.

Just did a password reset and I now my account setup and will be running the collector soon.

Whoohoo!

Awesome! Team ML to the rescue!

Yeah!!!!!!!

Edit: Just did a generic 10 min run because it now in the heat of the morning.

I don't know exactly how to read the report but based on the graphs they confirm my own observations on my environment through vMware monitoring logs.

CPU usage is really low and network usage is medium-medium low.
I always thought I had a storage bottleneck (4 15K SAS in RAID10) but it seems OK.

Interesting to know, based on the current time, I Read vs Write is 35/65. I always thought we read more than write.

I will be setting up a 24 hour project to get an overall view tomorrow.

Waiting for a link from Scale to run a Live Optics report on current stuff so they can size a solution.

Hope you find the answers you are looking for.

I wish I could get someone from Dell to create my Live Optics account. Filled out the form multiple times over the last 6 months, messaged multiple Dell contacts between here and Just crickets.

Does Dell have someone here in the community?

We had @IvanAtDell. Same as on but never received a reply to messages.

Oh well. I will try other avenues.
