@Dashrender Can't you use those reverse engineered drivers? I think Tricerat makes them.

@Dashrender If only I could. I'd much rather be learning Red Hat right now but my hands are tied. Some of our users do not retain the information provided or understand concepts unfortunately (typically the much older employees) and with the medical documentation they are expected to do now I just can't ever see my executive director approving it.

So this is a somewhat slow migration away from AD as much as possible currently. It's very interesting. I'll have to read some documentation on Azure + Windows 10 as well as Pertino/ZeroTier.

Thank you both for all of the information provided. I really appreciate it.

@scottalanmiller Yes sir. Sorry for the lack of clarification.

@Dashrender That makes a lot of sense. Thank you.

Wouldn't every piece of software (especially Financial Edge/Blackbaud--SQL) need to support that? Also, how is this going to access files and run queries? Is it still going to be based on the Local IP/Mac Address or is it going out and then back in? I'm sorry if these are stupid questions.

@scottalanmiller I have a serious lack of knowledge that I am fervently attempting to make up for so please excuse any misinformation.

Currently we are set-up with a primary Domain and a VM secondary replicated domain at the same site (as well as a few remotely replicated domains for our bigger sites). A file Server, SQL Server using Financial Edge/Blackbaud, A terminal server for remote sites to access e-mail as well as the Network Share, etc. My question would be how would Active Directory look with this? I'm assuming I would I be able to actually connect all of my remote sites to a remote domain with something like this and everything would be managed through the cloud?

Any information at this point is very appreciated Thank you as always.

This is an interesting concept. Does anyone have any documentation on this? I'd love to read about what it would take to actually implement something like this.

INTJ

@scottalanmiller lol

@Dashrender I assumed that but wasn't 100%

@Dashrender What do we do if we can't abandon faxing and we also have HIPAA compliance to worry about?

@scottalanmiller SIP and IAX2

Ultimately not sure

@scottalanmiller I'm not sure if this is possible using http://voip.ms/ or services like it. From what I read it seems like everything is being filtered through VOIP.ms and then sent to us.

I may be complicating this or not grasping everything though. haven't had my coffee yet and I'm also having conversations while reading and writing so pardon me please

@scottalanmiller Sorry if I'm not articulating this properly. I'm wondering if I can specify a port and use port fowarding to define what to do with the files depending on the number used

Is it possible to route these to a folder within a network share using specific ports maybe?

Doesn't HIPAA compliancy in this situation depend on the company offering the service? That would be my job to ask the right questions and determine whether or not we can use them.

@JaredBusch Awesome. Thanks Jared.
