I would try Linphone and ZoIPer. If neither of those make your users happy, then buy Bria. It is a really nice solution.

@scottalanmiller So the better question is WTF are you thinking is needing parsed?

Maybe these will help you:

https://community.spiceworks.com/how_to/67984-spiceworks-v7-importing-new-tickets-from-csv-including-assigned_to

Keep in mind there are two ways to import: through the GUI or via the script that some of these posts mention.

I was actually writing a blog about this but stopped because someone at SW corrected my thought process (I had made some errors in it that needed correcting).

If you PM me, I will e-mail you a PDF of that unfinished post and comments from SW support on it.

@brianlittlejohn said in Exchange Shell command not working:

You also need to have export/import permissions granted to your account. They are not granted to anyone by default.

This is what you need.

First assign your user the Mailbox Export Role
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mailbox Import Export" -User "<user name or alias>"

Then make sure the Exchange Subsystem has access to that shared folder and then run your export:
MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox username -FilePath "\\server\PST FOlder\username.pst"

@krisleslie said in Issue Installing SodiumSuite on Windows Server and Desktop:

@scottalanmiller how do i get this app?

https://sodium.waxquixotic.com

@QuixoticJeremy can help get you set up tomorrow.

But without asset data, not nearly as bad.

@wls-itguy said in Debian upgrade from 7 to 9 - no sub pages display now.:

I'll see if I can explain this so there isn't any missing pieces. I upgraded our wordpress/debian 7 install to debian 8 and then to debian 9. At some point in there, not sure as I cannot recall if I tested the site working or not before moving on to debian 9 upgrade, the site is working but doesn't display anything below the main www.

Example -> www.wls.wels.net works just fine but www.wls.wels.net/grow-in-grace gives me the big 404 error.

I thought it had to do with permalinks inside Wordpress but that didn't fix it. Thought it could be a sites-enabled issue, that also was not the case. I am not sure where to go from here. From what I remember of websites, if you can get to the main site you should be able to get to the whole thing but I'm guessing not.

What am I missing?

Sounds like something in Apache to me. I know that isn't too helpful but it could be several things

I've used GLPI when I needed a Ticket/Knowledge Base/Inventory system.

GLPI

There's also a install guide on MangoLassi

@jmoore said in Spiceworks - Maintenance records:

@wls-itguy Lots of different ways to do this. The last thing I saw was using Google forms to do it. It would work nice.

I'd like to do it in Spiceworks as that is our ticketing system. It would be nice to input what was updated via text box or something like that and have it attached to the user and/or pc the maintenance was done for/on.

@jaredbusch said in CERTBOT renewal fails:

How did you run certbot the first time?

You mean the very first time? I can't remember what I did 5 minutes ago 🙂

Documentation! I know it's a pain, and often takes 5x longer than actually doing anything, but it's so very needed.

Sorry, typed it and then retyped the sentence and forgot that part. Windows 10. Latest release.

For Windows I would use shareX but without knowing what operating system you're trying to do this on I mean pretty much any thing might work

@wls-itguy said in MySQL/Wordpress issue:

@scottalanmiller Yours?

Yes, I PMd you a few minutes ago 🙂

@WLS-ITGuy said in MySQL/PHP issue.:

@marcinozga

Yes. If I CD to /var/www/moodle/ and run 'php admin/cli/mysql_compressed_rows.php --list' I get PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 49152 bytes) in var/www/moodle/admin/cli/mysql_compressed_rows.php on line 152

Run that same php info.php file from the CLI... and search for the php.ini file that way...

php info.php|grep -i "php.ini"

And see what file(s) it spits out.

Edit: Dang... Day late, $1 short.

@WLS-ITGuy said in MySQL to PostgreSQL conversion:

Well, that was a thread that will fizzle out quickly 🙂

Thanks for the assist all.

LOL, sometimes that's exactly what you want. This would have been a large, horrible project. Now it's a simple "Oh good, we are all set" 🙂

@IRJ said in Best CA for SSL Certificates:

This line on GitHub about the project makes me even more weary:

Time spent on developing Certify is extremely limited. If you have a bug or feature and you can fix the problem yourself please just:

File a new issue
Fork the repository
Make your changes
Submit a pull request, detailing the problem being solved and testing steps/evidence
If you cannot provide a fix for the problem yourself, please file an issue and describe the fault with steps to reproduce. General issues which cannot be easily reproduced are likely to be ignored, sorry!

At least they're up front about expectations.

And the rest of it's just boilerplate submit an issue

@WLS-ITGuy

I listen to twit.tv podcasts 🙂

To me Twit.tv is about the same as SW. Not really in-depth as far as technical, but more journalistic and IT Buyers club from what I can see.

WHAT? I suppose some of their podcasts might be like that, but security now definitely is not.

Steve Gibson isn't the greatest advocate for security. SecurityNow is more an in-depth look at tech than any real security. Also, yes, I'm a fan, but I know that it's not a good resource for security anything.

Yeah - sadly he has allowed people's unwillingness to be secure to creep into his recommendations. 😞

@WLS-ITGuy No issues. Wasn't required to fsck after a reboot.

WSUS still controls updates to Windows 10 1607 installs.

@scottalanmiller I understand they are not standard business tools. I also look at it that if I can make a kiosk for $75 instead of using a machine that would have cost $200+ I look like a genius 🙂

Guess I just gotta learn some Linux commands and figure out how to get them to run if the unit is rebooted. I LOVE BEING AN IT GEEK 😏

Yeah, it's good gear for cheap. But more learning curve.

I'm your Huckleberry.

But does that come at a cost higher than $125 to the company?

Learning is expensive and that's a really cheap way to do it.

But who normally pays for that learning? Good companies allow you to learn on the clock, bit not all projects allow for this.

And there is a difference in learning to learn and learning skills for the business.

While I get that some places would rather pay the $ to get it done right and fast. We are a school and if I can do it for a low cost and get to learn some things in the process then everyone wins in this case.
