I'm sure I'll get railed for this but I really like the Linksys Velop setup I have. 2500 sq ft home and only need two to completely cover the whole place and I can sit out on the deck and "work" if I need to. The girls can be on their phones/tablets as well with no issues.

You download the latest KVM from Fedora. Problem solved.

This answer is about as useful as the ones where the guy says he has to use IE/Edge due to corporate policy and someone answers "use Firefox, Problem Solved!"

Right... both are WAY more useful than the assumed answer. Except you didn't mention a bad corporate policy demanding you have this issue, you just said you had a technical issue and an answer was given.

Actually I was just confused as to why you couldn't upgrade to 6.7 from 6.5u2. I didn't see that 6.5u2 came out after 6.7.

Turns out I am actually on 6.5u1. Thought I was already on u2 but it must have been a dream.

Getting ready to update all my stuff before school starts in about a month so I go to VMWare.com and log into my portal and I see this:

HUWAH!!!! So how do I upgrade if I can't go from ESXi 6.5.0 U2 to 6.7.0. ?

@romo said in CSS help:

@wls-itguy search for the margin properties, headers usually have by default a lot more than paragraphs.

Usually people reset all the margins and paddings on the page elements to 0 and then set them to the value of their choosing.

For example, here in yellow are the default margins for an h5 set by the nodebb devs and shown in mangolassi.

Perfect example! See the spacing between student, SSN, and DOB, I don't want that at all or at least half of that

Here is the .maincap css lines:

.maincap {
            font-size: 18pt;
            -webkit-column-count: 1;-moz-column-count: 1;column-count: 1;  
            page-break-before: always;
            width:100%
        }

And the lines where .maincap is called in the page:

echo "
                <div class='maincap'>
                    <h3 style='text-align: center'>Some Data</h3>
                    <h5 style='text-align: center'>More Data</h5>
                    <h5 style='text-align: center'>Other simple data</h5>
                    <h4>Student: {$grade->first} {$grade->middle} {$grade->last}</h4>
                    <h5>SSN# {$ssnp}</h5>
                    <h5>DOB: {$grade->dob}</h5>

I am trying to edit a simple page that has:

<h3 style='text-align: center'>Some Data</h3>
<h5 style='text-align: center'>More data</h5>
<h5 style='text-align: center'>final set of data</h5>

When the page displays it has A LOT of space between each line. How do I remove all that space?

We are a 501c3 (Non-Profit) so it might be just as easy

Thanks for the help!

If you're a non profit you might have better long term luck going that route instead: https://products.office.com/en-us/nonprofit/office-365-nonprofit-plans-and-pricing?tab=1.

We're going through the accreditation process now but I guess that takes A LONG TIME!

Yeah, accreditation takes forever. Be glad you're not dealing with the Obama era Department of Ed. They were very unfriendly to non public institutions. I don't know what it is like now. Might not be any better.

To be fair a lot of the non-Public institutions were/are shit.

Yes like all the online tech schools that popped up

@kelly said in O365 question:

I'm a bit confused. O365 University is just a licensing option for the Office applications. It doesn't include Exchange. Office 365 A1 is where you get the licensing for Exchange, and is free. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're getting at, or some aspect of the licensing, so let me know what I'm missing.

We have on-Prem Exchange 2016 but all faculty and staff needed Office applications so we purchased O365 University. The issue we are running into is that even though we are a school we are not listed as an EDU so we have to jump through hoops every time in order to renew the subscription.

I was curious if there is the hybrid option so that I can keep the on-Prem Exchange and have the O365 subscription for the 45 faculty and staff machines without going through the BS of O365 University every 4 years.

@nerdydad said in O365 question:

Why are you paying every 4 years? Why not turn this into an operations expense and renew either monthly or annually? Not sure on education levels but Pro Plus levels and up gets Office 2016 as apart of the licensing.

o365 University is $80/user for 4 years vs anything else that is $60+/year

@kelly said in O365 question:

My first question when presented this is why. You're investing a decent amount of time and resources into maintaining on prem server when the cloud version is free for you (assuming you're a school from your comments). If I were in your situation it would be difficult for me to justify keeping that old server.

It is free but we need the PC software for Office as well so either way there is a cost. Right now it doesn't cost me anything for the Exchange 2016 server I run on prem and because we are a sub of an organization the on prem exchange server would need to stay in play because of domain issues.

While the O365 University works for us it is a PITA to get the subscription renewed every 4 years. I was thinking hybrid would work better but might be worth the extra cost as I wouldn't have to spend extra time with the renewal process for 40+ users.

I've been searching and I can't seem to find the answer although I may not be looking in the right spot.

We have an in house exchange box and are using O365 University for the faculty and staff. We are running into renewal issues every time we have someone hit their 4 year mark on the product. Can I go with an O365 option but keep my in house exchange server?

A while back I posted asking for what you guys use to create tutorial videos. What I am looking for is making a video or powerpoint to go step by step through the processes of password change in OWA, logging into our Teaching Website, setting up printers, and accessing/updating our alerting system info.

I like it when I see a tutorial zoom in to certain spots on the website but am not sure how to do it. I know, a tech who doesn't know how to create tutorials this way, What do I do for a living?

@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

@dbeato said in PDQ Deploy:

We use it quite a lot in large environments. I am assuming it is an msi file correct?

$(Repository)\Adobe\Reader\DC\Continuous\AcroRdrDC1500720033_MUI.exe

/msi EULA_ACCEPT=YES /qn

That is the install file and parameters

@dbeato said in PDQ Deploy:

It is the one that PDQ Deploy provides through their packages. MSU

Anyone using PDQ Deploy? I like using it for the simple new machine deployment of certain programs.

Although for some reason I am getting a 1603 error when deploying Adobe DC but nothing else is displayed in the log
