So I received the test email but not the original email that had an attachment in it. My guess is there is an issue with the attachment. Not sure what format the attachment is in but I’m thinking somethings not right there.

@Joel said in Hyper V - USB Disk not showing up:

Hi Guys
Wonder if you can help shed some light on this.

I have a Hyper V core host machine with 2x VM's installed (1x DC and 1x SQLServer).
We have a USB device (8TB) plugged into our host, (put offline) and then bought online within our SQLServer. This has been working well and we use the USB to backup.

HOWEVER, recently the USB from the SQLServer has disappeared and we cant bring it back online! We've rebooted servers but it still wont show up on our SQL Server.

Note: we use Windows Admin Centre to manage the host and VM's and in the pic you can see within Admin Centre you can see in the settings for the SQLServer shows our 8TB Hard Drive, however when we list disk's on the actual VM we dont see it!!! DiskMago.JPG

Can anyone help identify how we can bring our USB back online?
This did happen before and it seems the way we bought it back online was by going on site and using Hyper V Manager software to re-attach the drive but seems a long winded way to bring it back visible. Any ideas?

Thanks

Any reason to not just create a VHDX on the usb drive and attach that to the VM? Passing the usb drive from the host to the VM I don't believe is actually supported. It may work but clearly not reliable.

Just curious are you guys leaving the web portal (login screen) open to all IPs or are you restricting to your office addresses? I like being able to login to our ScreenConnect from everywhere. I am not sure if MeshCentral has a lockout mechanism yet. Granted there is the 2FA now.

@scottalanmiller We receive emails from O365 accounts all the time. The socket error only seems to show up when sent from this one person's email address. I have asked him to send two test emails. One with the original content and CC my personal gmail account and then just a small test email with a subject and quick hello in the body. I want to see if there is something odd with any attachments that he is sending to us.

@syko24 said in Exchange 2013 Remote(Socket Error):

The external spam filter is passing the message. I have whitelisted the senders address both at the external filter as well as on the Exchange server.

Sounds like a protocol issue between the two.

Between our exchange and the spam filter or our exchange and the senders O365?

Not sure if this helps

Sorry I know this is a vague question but has anyone seen or know what Remote (Socket Error) refers to on Exchange 2013?

The logs on the receive connector show everything is ok up until the part where is should say message queued for delivery. Instead is says Remote(Socket Error).

This seems to only be happening when one sender tries to email us. All other external email seems to be fine. The mail flows like this:

1. The person trying to email us is sending from Exchange hosted O365
2. Goes to our external spam filter
3. Goes to our Exchange server

The external spam filter is passing the message. I have whitelisted the senders address both at the external filter as well as on the Exchange server. Not sure why our server is not liking messages from this sender.

Any thoughts???

Thanks

@NashBrydges said in Backing up Office 365:

If you happen to have a Synology onsite, they also offer Active Backup For Office 365. I'm using this at a small client's site with ~40 mailboxes. Works pretty well.

Keep in mind Active Backup is only available on certain models of Synology. I believe mostly on the plus models. It is an awesome software though.

@zachary715 said in Printer suggestion:

For this volume we get the Brother HL-L6200DWT. We have primarily Brother printers and have been very satisfied. Printer and ink costs seem to be among the lowest we've found.

Agree that the HL-6200 model is solid

I have been a fan of some of the Brother printers as well. My only complaint is that some of the multifunction Brother printers have odd memory issues. For example if you send a fax and someone prints, you may get an out of memory error. I have seen this on multiple models and on the $600+ models. Also another complaint I get is that if someone wants to scan they have to wait for any print jobs to complete before they can do anything.
