Not that this adds anything to this thread. We've been using FreePBX for 6 years now. I wouldn't use anything else at this point. Support is top notch. Everything works and I can figure things out if needed. I built our system with little help from FreePBX at the time but now that Sangoma has taken over it just gets better and better.

I find myself moving through a few tools to maintain my network. I have Spiceworks for ticketing but don't really like the inventory/asset management part. I use PDQ Deploy and Inventory for update management along with WSUS for Windows updates. I use PRTG for up/down and resource/usage tracking.

I was hopefully looking to find more of an all in one solution but not sure that one truly exists. I know Connectwise/LabTech but that seems more like MSP tools than a single in house solution. ManageEngine has a great system but not sure if that fits what I'm looking for either.

What do you guys use?

@scottalanmiller said in What tools do you use...:

Some places use RMM in house. It's more logical than it seems at first glance.

When I was an MSP admin I used Labtech/Connectwise and loved it. I know I don't need the billing aspect of connectwise.

I have a windows 2016 server running all my ManageEngine stuff. (Yes I have posted there as well).

Can I use LE to secure ADManager, Servicedesk, Desktop Central, and Self Service? It is one URL ie: helpdesk dot website dot net

I was reading this https://mangolassi.it/topic/18137/get-wildcard-ssl-certs-for-iis-on-windows-with-letsencrypt but it appears to be more about wildcard certs.

Well, editing the cron worked. I suppose I could put the symlink back but it isn't spitting emails to the queue anymore so...

Just ran updates in FreePBX and now the queue buildup is back. Guess I'll have to fix it the right way

This time I did a search first

We are getting hammered with cold calls and I am wondering if those of you who have FreePBX have some system/way to block cold/robo calls?

@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.

It's funny you mention that...

@Dashrender said in Laptop trying to factory reset itself:

maybe it's going through the setup after 1903 install?

I'm finishing up a 1903 upgrade right now. I'll see if it does this...

I am uploading a zip file to a local debian server and after 7gb of 19gb the connection drops. I am using cyberduck.

Is there a threshold or timeout?

@scottalanmiller I figured it out.. I formatted the drives wrong and made separate partitions for /Var, /home, etc

It is an AD environment. The students are created in AD on Server 2016 with Exchange 2016. They just use OWA only. They just don't log in to PCs that are part of the domain.

@WLS-ITGuy

Thanks everyone for the assistance! I forgot that I had disabled the damn thing in the beginning of all this even though I told @dbeato that in a PM.

I have 2 servers that I was looking combining into one. One of the servers runs a 32 bit application and the other doesn't really matter if it is 32/64 bit.

The question comes up is should I leave the servers alone and separate or could I combine them with little impact?

They are both virtual machines but not thin provisioned.

We need to purchase a couple new domain names and while most of our domains are registered with GoDaddy, I was wondering if there is anyone better?

I have created a document center for our President and president's secretary to access files. I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the 'limited access' on the directory. The President is told the file is locked or he doesn't have permissions but the secretary can access.

We had some power fluxes here on campus Wednesday and Thursday and since then I have lost two Aastra 6757i phones. I'm sure I could by a refurb'd replacement but wondering if any of you have another suggestion. It is our switchboard/receptionist phone so it has to have the side add-on capability to show other extensions that she can transfer calls to.

@scottalanmiller

The SIP-T46S looks like exactly what I want. Thanks!

Not to mention get them trained on it while still using zoom until they're comfortable.

that professors need training on how to use basic tools like this... it's unthinkable.

It's really not. When profs are not technology inclined because they usually are lecture style teachers then you have a bit of a learning curve. Most of us can grasp things fairly quickly because we've basically been doing this most of our lives. 1/3 of the profs here are in their early 60's so technology isn't as easy for them. Making the changes in a zoom account to require a password, change settings, etc isn't as easy for them.
