SodiumSuite would likely be a great candidate here.
It's silent (besides your installation) and it's free.
Other option could be Nagios or Zabbix
SS doesn't do email alerts (yet)
If I wasn't aware of the trouble that Macs are giving you I'd downvote this response 
The agenda has been posted. Not sure I see anything that says "DUDE! I GOTTA GO SEE THAT!"
EDIT: Although that could be because of how much crap I have on my plate and not open minded right now.
@nashbrydges What is the version it is at? Like 16299.192
This is crazy. 6 devices at home only on the network for about 7 hours:

Other than smart aleck and flippant comments about running on old platforms, nope
I'm assuming you're talking about 2012 R2, and yes, that is on my list to upgrade.
At least it isn't 2003 or 2008

Funny enough, I saw this setting for the first time in years just this morning! Yes, as B3D says, it's called "Always BCC Myself" and it had to have been selected manually by the exec in question.
Why do I find that not at all surprising that it would have to manually be set?
That's a good thing. It's a good setting, but you'd not want it for most people.
I submitted too fast and didn't finish my thought. I meant more so that it would be manually set and the exec wouldn't remember that he did it.
Anyone else have this happen recently? I got Veeam backup failure notifications last night and this morning saying that the servers being backed up were disconnected. I connected to vCenter and Sho'Nuff two of my hosts were disconnected. When I tried to reconnect it said I didn't have licensing. It took a bit but I finally got them reconnected and relicensed.
I have 4 network closets stretched around our campus and just had 10G fiber run to all of them from our main server room. Before that was copper run to the length limit. I would recommend fiber over any length if speed is a factor, but when isn't it?
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
WHO THE HELL SKINS CATS?
How many of you still use the GUI when running windows servers? I'm getting ready to upgrade a few of our 2008 R2 servers to 2016 (a little late I know) and just thought it was funny to see the "Windows Desktop Experience" on the install.
@scottalanmiller said in Microsoft support - downhill?:
This we hear a lot. Bad communications, unable to speak English, lots of passing the buck and run around, and then delay after delay presumably to push you to find an alternative to them actually doing something.
I couldn't get in to our Volume licensing center about two months ago. Called, got put into a queue, the girl, who could barely speak english said that she would be connecting me with someone to help me somehow just dropped the call after about 10 minutes. Called back and had to go through the whole thing over again. Was escalated but was told they'd have to call me back. 2 weeks and nothing. Turns out that Microsoft changed my account to a "business account" through O365 because the synod office is on O365 so they saw the account in their db and just merged it. Was a bigger PITA than it needed to be. Actually solved it with the help of the synod office guys. Just a plain old F story from Winblows.
@rojoloco said in Microsoft support - downhill?:
I haven't had to contact MS that often, but whenever I contact Dell support (many of the same issues), I use chat instead of calling. Many of their techs are quite capable at typing english vs. speaking it. Seems to help get rid of the communication barrier (in my experience anyway).
I do that for HP and Lenovo as well.
@irj said in Looking to ditch windows at work....:
Is there any legitimate contenders for Outlook on Linux? We currently have Exchange 2010 so the webmail isn't exactly full featured like it is on newer versions.
Push notifications are requirement for me.
Too expensive to upgrade to Exchange 2016 or migrate to O365?

I didn't see that fight club rule.
@wrx7m said in PDQ Deploy:
I used the deployment section on the Adobe site to download the installer, which hasn't been updated in quite some time.
In PDQ deploy, I have the following settings:
Afterward, I have a bat file that runs ninite pro to force an update on Adobe.
There is a PDQ Deploy package that will run the update, although I haven't tested it yet
We had been using Avast for EDU and now they have decided to remove the free for edu option. Before that I had Trend Micro deployed but the price raised exponentially. Looking for the best option for protection and price point.

@wls-itguy said in SSL Certs:
OK. So if I have 3 servers that have the following:
pbxserver.site1.org at x.x.x.1
secserv.site1.org at x.x.x.2
weather.site1.org at x.x.x.3I could use one wildcard cert for all three servers, correct?
Yes.
Not sure why my brain wasn't grasping that. Maybe I need more whiskey in my coffee this morning
Thanks!
Not a linux guy. Can anyone kick me in the right direction to fix this?

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Multilib version problems found. This often means that the root
cause is something else and multilib version checking is just
pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.:
1. You have an upgrade for openssl-libs which is missing some
dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to
solve this by installing an older version of openssl-libs of the
different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture
yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package
requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with
--exclude openssl-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error
message showing the root cause of the problem.
2. You have multiple architectures of openssl-libs installed, but
yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures.
If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you
can remove the one with the missing update and everything
will work.
3. You have duplicate versions of openssl-libs installed already.
You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors.
...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove
this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to
do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing
much more problems).
Protected multilib versions: 1:openssl-libs-1.0.2k-13.el7.x86_64 != 1:openssl-libs-1.0.2k-12.el7.i686
Anyone updated any of their sites yet?
We have two sites that use wordpress and I am wondering if I should update now or wait.
