    With mailboxes that large, I can only imagine the Outlook sync has issues at best.

    I actually started down that path in Q1 of 2013 when we deployed Elastix at my main site but ran out of time. Back then the T32G was not part of the configurator, but I did find this gem, which may help you:
    link text.

    I got as far as adding the T32G to the phone database on the server so that it would show as an option when Elastix detects the phone. But that's as far as I made it.

    You bet. I was surprised when I found it. What a great idea. Now we just need OpenSuse support.

    A single domain across both sites with a DC at each feels better at a first read. Very simple but keeping traffic from going over the WAN except as failover.

    It's interesting I happened to see this thread today. We too have a Lanier copier similar to @Dashrender mentions above, and we were not able to do scanning to SMB because of Server 2012 R2's SMB version as well. We went with the Windows FTP server approach to get around it. Scan to FTP seems to work very well for pretty much every printer / copier we have that supports it.

    Yes. It needs patched to get all of the updates. It is a mature release at this point.

    Hmmm I will have the team take a look at this and see what could be causing this issue.

    I'm with you on Google Apps. It's a good product but it is very limited and doesn't have the look and feel of modern apps. I don't like using Gmail either. It's unnecessarily quirky and busy. Google doesn't make things as fun to use or as easy to use as they could.

    I think that the Chromebook model is better than it seems. Only problem is is that businesses are struggling to adapt to it. But it is a business problem and failing, not a Google one. Google supplies the tools, business can't grok them.

    In the same vein, the Linux world has everything businesses need and have for a decade or more and yet almost no businesses have cares to go down the 100% Linux path regardless of the massive savings and ease of use once the transition is over.

    @Joyfano Not a fan of qsee / lorex brands..
    they work - but are pretty cheap...
    the remote viewing can be a pain with the applications... have setup countless of these and they work - but reviewing recordings isn't as reliable smooth as it could be...

    that said many have this issue in that price range... qsee/lorex are both pretty "Cost Effective"

    I forgot to mention Theory of Constraints. It's a great way to shake up old procedures, provided they're the bottleneck. Furthermore, it can sometimes shake up headcount if some people refuse to change. This is a practice that I enjoy, as it closely mirrors what sysadmins and network admins do on a regular basis, except it's at a corporate level. One of the challenges with this can be bumping into standards and regulations. When making procedure changes, don't forget to keep your compliance officer/group in the loop so that they can make sure all the appropriate standards still apply.

    In that case, why not an RDS Gateway? Combine it with RD Web Access, and you have an easy portal for users to access their RDS sessions with while still keeping things secure.

    This ended up being a name resolution problem. FQN in the storage repository did the trick. Back on track now...

    Very limited, only logs on the policy level for short increments (up to an hour) and looking across the Juniper boards it looks like everyone states to get good traffic logs you need to do port mirroring.

    That's unfortunate.
