Troubleshooting with user reporting black screen. Ask them if the cable is plugged in. They tell me the bios text isn't loading either.

User: Of course it's plugged in. I'm not an idiot!
Me: Okay Okay. no problem.

Arrive at site
Check DVI cable.
It's loose.
Everything working.
go to Dunkin Doughnuts for Coffee.

Drive back to main building.

Yep - users refuse to help! Of course they feel stupid when you show them the problem.

That's just it--they don't. I can't even explain this company. It's like that place Tim Curry must have been in before he stepped out of that mirror in Legend.

@wirestyle22 I hope there is a trophy shop nearby so you can get that user an "I'm an idiot!" trophy or plaque, as he/she proved their idiocy in one fell swoop.

Oh you.

My company prides itself on feeling justified against all logic and reasoning

Are they using VPN to connect? Or is there a branch office VPN tunnel from point A to point B?

RDP

My users are all over my county and people complain that they lose connection sometimes in the middle of work. How can I check if this is a WAN issue or a server issue? There is no timeout function set in group policy.

Looking at mine, under Settings/My Remix/Total 12.0GB

Oh, I was talking about Raspberry Pi's. My bad.

@FATeknollogee said:

I think now they all come with 2GB ram/16GB storage

I'm pretty sure it's 1 gig of memory and the micro SD card can be much larger than 16 GB

I keep seeing AD mentioned here - but personally I'm much more interested in seeing Azure AD integration. If I'm an Office 365 business user, that's where I want as much authentication to come from as possible.

That's the destination but I have to figure out the here and now of it as well

1.2GHZ Q-core A53 ARM
1GB ram
8GB storage (presumably micro SD)
HDMI
USB 2.0

Sounds a ton like a Raspberry Pi 2B

Yes it's micro SD.

Looks good so far.

1920 x 1080 is max resolution. I would have preferred 1920 x 1200, but for $70, can you complain?

Also, it does not support Dual monitors.

Figured. How does it run? Any issues?

I do think that it has a lot of thin client potential. Are you looking at RDS, VDI, something completely different?

I bought one to test.
I installed the Microsoft Remote Desktop app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android

Looking to use it for RDS, VDI & Unidesk VDI

Please let us know your findings. I'm very interested.

$12.50 per user per month?

Yup, we demo'd it for like ten minutes and @Minion-Queen was like...um, no.

That's 12.50 per AD user? Seriously? wat

Per user, AD or not.

I'm so butt hurt right now

The standard is only $6 something

Right but I want AD integration

Yeah, that is insanely expensive. Office 365 Premium is the same price...lol

Is this like one administrator account and the AD users don't count?

$12.50 per user per month?

What about HIPAA in regards to slack and file sharing?
