I think the biggest problem with Sharepoint Foundation, in terms of cost, is the database requirements i.e. it will only run with SQL Server.

SQL Server Express is free, but is pretty limited and doesn't really seem intended for production environments. In particular the fact that databases are limited to 10GB, which seems pretty tiny for a typical Sharepoint site. So you quickly end up needing SQL Server Standard edition, which is pretty expensive. If you don't have SQL Server already, you probably need to budget for that at the outset, even if you're only planning on using Sharepoint Foundation.

I'd like Microsoft to provide something in between Express and Standard, but I'm not allowed to criticise Microsoft on ML so I'll say no more 🙂

Don't want to defile an old thread, but I need to add a few things.

First off, comparing Sharepoint to OwnCloud, while beeing a great tool, is like comparing
a warp-capable spaceship to a paperdart. SharePoint is a collaboration platform where you build your own applications on top while OwnCloud is basically a filesharing platform with a few addons.

There are quite a few factors which are driving the costs for SharePoint:

Windows Server CALs (few known users / devices) or Windows Server for Internet Sites ("CAL" flatrate, mucho dinero) SQL Server, Standard or higher edition and CALs (UserCAL's for SQL server are very expensive. Use this for a few known users) or Core edition (Flatrate, can be more or less "cheap". I'm using this one) If going past SP Foundation:
a) SharePoint CAL, Standard should suffice in most cases
b) SharePoint for Internet Sites if public facing with anonymous access
c) You will most probably need a farm, at least one frontend and one backend server. ForeFront UAG/TMG and CAL (used to be the only "supported" reverse proxy). Not sold anymore, no successor available, Windows Server publishing role is used today

So SharePoint Standard / Enterprise on a public facing site with anonymous access can burn through your budget like Oracle and SAP. SharePoint for a known user base can be OK from a licensing point of view. Today, SharePoint on Office365 is way cheaper than having something on premise I guess.

SharePoint has a lot to offer and I haven't found anything FOSS that comes even close myself yet. Alfresco is the only one that at least is a very little bit like SharePoint, but nothing I would call a replacement.

So what is SharePoint actually? Simply said, anything you want it to be. It's an application platform with multiple frontends, the well known website is just one of them.

I think Drupal + Alfresco can get really close. I've built some really cool stuff with Drupal by itself, and with the pseudo Alfresco integration you can have, it will let you do some really nice things.

If you don't check the option drill down from parent collection, your filters apply to all your computers. That's why computers without java get marked with your checking java version filter.

Since their is no nesting inside collections filters, you would need to have a top level dynamic collection checking which computers have the software installed and then have another dynamic collection with the option to drill down from parent collection that checks for your specified version of the software.

Then do a sweep of your network ensuring no one has XenCenter that isn't supposed to.

Fail! Not installing software is not a form of access control. You can find probable exe's and ways around just about any of that.

Instead, lock down the XS machine to ensure that only the selected XO host has any kind of access to it.

Gah, where was my head all day long.

@Carnival-Boy said in ESXi Evaluation Period:

I have recently downgraded from ESXi Essentials to ESXi Free simply by entering a different key. It's the same product.

I'd say you moved between products. It's one product family, they are super similar, but are they the same product? Just semantics, but they are very different.

XO Community and XOA are not the same product. But it's the same code.

Unless you plan to pay for support, stick with the free version.

I wonder if timemachine grabbed the page already?

No Apple products here. Do you mean the Way Back Machine? That only grabs like once a quarter. So pretty unlikely.

oh - ok yeah that!

I completely agree - a total Popcorn movie - but really - turn my brain off and just have fun.

I had more issue with Will Smith stealing a choper in the last movie to find his girlfriend than I did with the kids sudden appearance picking up Papa Levinson.

Yeah that death scene was definitely super cheese! I agree with your assessment complete and was left confused.

Also, what about the fact that the spheriod dude has all this advanced technology, but doesn't have shields? Really? Come on! Oh OH oh I know.. the sensors on the ship knew they weren't the bad aliens (we still don't have a name for them) so they didn't raise - oh never mind - it's just a movie 😛

Not to mention that they have this knowledge-transfer session with the alien orb, who knows all about how to defeat the Harvesters, and they use none of the new information to defeat them. Instead it's a "let's try to beat it at it's own game" plan, with no guarantee of success. Oh, and why not just drill into Saturn (they passed right by) to get energy from a planet's core? It's big, and it's uninhabited. No fight.

Yep - sips some tea.

Thank you all for your help

Did you get it all working?

@AlyRagab said in Elastix HA Cluster:

@scottalanmiller Using Rsync will make us stop the mysql daemon that will cause a downtime, and in case the master server went down how we make the clients connect to the second server?.

Clients can be connected to two at once. Or you use DNS to switch. Either way works just fine.

Rsync does need MySQL to stop IF you are copying that data all of the time. But do you need to? We don't. We only need VoiceMail to be synced (and only sometimes) and you only need MySQL synced on changes, not on normal usage. So only occasional MySQL stops that can be combined with updates and reboots under normal circumstances.

Huzzah! Thanks for the link. I'm sure it'll come in handy 🙂

The project seems to have the ability to CLI sync but not auto sync. but in process.

Cron every minute? Not realtime, but nearly as good

With powershell you can rename a UPN suffix. Pretty easy with powershell:

Thanks @Mike-Davis, this is one of the pieces to the puzzle that I was missing.

Xen XAPI api is not running on this .... F8 to try and start it.

So I cloned on a system that isn't critical, and when I try to boot off of the clone that is what I get.

Any ideas?
