@marcinozga That's going to let you provide service, sure. They were paying $5 for the microwave based wireless radios they were using in the mid 2000s. That side of it hasn't really changed that much price wise in a long time.

Where are you getting the backbone connection?

From your local ISP. Once you get into the area of negotiations with major backbone providers you usually get out, that's whole different league.

If you plan to extend the service beyond what the local ISP has built out, then maybe you could do it, but it really limits the market you have available. Think of it this way, you are a potential competitor to the ISP, are they going to give you a good deal?

They don't have to. You just buy the service from them, then re-sell it. We were buying DSL lines at the regular business plan prices. I think overall we had close to 1000 customers in 30k city.

Apparently it's different where you are. Around here even the business lines often have clauses that prevent you from reselling the service 😞

Not surprised - a resold line has a higher likeliness of running at or near full capacity. The sad fact is that ISPs almost always oversell their bandwidth, they have expectations of something like 30% usage over the 24 hour day.

LOL, good to have the solutions catalogued, you just never know.

I've run dcdiag, everything comes back showing healthy.

I don't want to go the route of the registry fix because I've saw this in multiple domains now, and it doesn't fix the root of the cause, it is just a work around and writing off the situation as "it's just a corrupt profile". Well I don't see how it can be corrupt when it's never been on that server before...

Seems like too common of a problem, and has been happening for years for there not to be more coverage on the matter than just deleting it from ProfileList.

@DustinB3403 said in What is Best Practice.... topics keep springing up over and over and over:

Correct, if you had 6 drives, you wouldn't create a RAID1 of two of the drives and then a RAID10 of the remaining 4. (horrible example but the concept works)

You'd just make an OBR10. When you build any VM's you're creating dedicated vDisk for them and the entire set is protected by OBR10.

I am using their Subsidiary called KimSufi. I've been pleased with them so far!

We have been messing around with Hyper-V on our workstations .
I use Veeam endpoint backup and my boss uses Hyperoo (free).

I haven't heard any complaints.

(interesting note. In spite of their name an logo, they list their contact address as Belfast, Northern Ireland)

yeah, i've done that. weird that i dont have it. suck

@Dashrender said in FreePBX on VPS:

The last time I stood one of these things up I spent around $1000 on add-ons... But those were one time fees, not monthly.

For a larger office, I would expect that, but for a basic small office, spending more than $100-$200 on pro modules likely is a misunderstanding of the needs.

Agreed.

@travisdh1 said in Linux skills are hard to find:

Apropos is yet another new thing @scottalanmiller takes for granted I've never heard of before. Looks much more efficient than using find just to look for a program that doesn't happen to be in $PATH!

LOL it was taught for first time computer users when they took "intro to your computer lab" one hour course at college in 1994. Not an admin tool, just a general user tool on UNIX systems.

My Intro to UNIX course never mentioned it I don't think. Learned a lot more in a couple of 1 week training sessions at SGI than 2 years of college... not that anyone is going to be surprised by that.

It was taught to the kids who were learning how to use UNIX for word processing and email back in the day.

@Carnival-Boy said in Creating training videos for users:

The main problem with hosting on YouTube is you get adverts and suggestions of other videos, which doesn't look too professional. For example, at the end of your excellent AetherStore video I got a My Little Pony video suggested (disclaimer: my daughter uses my Google account).

Ah, you only get the adverts if you use other's content. Music/visual, etc. Or if you are trying to make money from advertising.

Suggested videos, you used to be able to turn that off per clip, I think Google forced it back on for everyone annoyingly, I'm sure their view counts across the site went up though.

I've now got a Vimeo account as video is something I want to do more with but I'm really annoyed that after paying for the upgrade, they had 3 periods of downtime in the magical forest within the week. Youtube with their suggested videos, no downtime.

Yup, that's what the thread has been discussing 🙂

@Ambarishrh

This looks like per site pricing, backupbuddy or Updraft especially has unlimited site option

Does it? I looked at the pricing for Updraft and it said it was a site licence, with options available for unlimited.

Yes, was talking about the unlimited site option- Dev

Cisco network assistant does stuff like this for smaller setups. Not sure if it works with the fake cisco/SMB SG Line though.

@Dashrender said in OneGet - anyone using it?:

uhhh I don't know - I guess... Can nuget manage packages or only make them? Can Chocolatey only manage them and not make them?

Well Chocolatey just automates NuGet. What functionality is OneGet adding is the big question.

OneGet is automating Chocolatey and any other package managers you install. From the above linked post - the idea is that you can use anything you want for a package creator/manager.. and then manage them all through OneGet.

I have a better question - why isn't MS doing this through through the MS store instead? Even on Server?

meaning... why isn' tthe Store sciptable? I think the answer is because the Store is a totally useless piece of crap and this is how actual Windows package management has to be.

Well it worked for a while. It was running for 15-16 days and it was at 33% finished. Then I logged in again and I got the error. Not sure when it broke in the timeline.

@Jason said in WDS vs. MDT vs. WAIK:

We use WDS approx 30,000 users. The number of users wouldn't really affect how you image if you plan it right. It's not like every user has their own image.

SCCM isn't worth the trouble. You really don't gain much when you count all the time you have to put into it.

Dell KACE is probally one of the best/most flexible options out there. Not cheap though..

Guessing you also use MDT/WAIK for building. Just using WDS to deploy?

What I have called Firewire, they call i.Link.

You can thank Apple for that... Apple trademarked "FireWire" so everyone else had to come up with their own name for IEEE1394

Well, you can thank people using Apple's term for IEEE1394. The real name is just IEEE1394. Calling it FireWire or i.Link is the issue. Just call it by its real name and it gets much clearer 🙂

True!

OK so the powershell method does work remotely, when you kill the quicktime process.

Updated PS1.

@DustinB3403 said in Server 2012 R2 VM RDP Access Logging in Super Slow:

@BRRABill That is the same prompt I've received, I often just click cancel as I don't need any thing pushed to the server or back.

I wonder if you unchecked CLIPBOARD and hit CONNECT if that would make a difference.

Seems like CANCEL does the same thing anyway.

@Dashrender said in SATA vs NL-SAS vs SAS For New Array:

This whole thing stemmed from my comment that even though the drives are already paid for, they should still be included the actual cost column of the project.

But for discussion with management, they could be left off.

Only in a post mortem sort of way, not for a planning sort of way. Their cost isn't useful information for any purpose that I can think of except determining if the decision to buy them in the first place was a good one.
