Well, the main application itself, is a "server" that is started automatically as a service. It gathers data and performs calculations based on the input. Data may be exported, but not always, but stored in proprietary databases. The user interface comes up by way of Interactive Services Detection, and is a bit of a pain... The application is being rewritten as we speak and will use HTML and a browser for GUI in the next version. BUT, the customer is only allowing RDP traffic to the server, not http, so...

Just one customer or most or all? If it is just a few... that's their own issue, right? If they refuse secure HTTPS and demand RDP... sure. But that's on their end, not your end. Why get involved, right?

With switching to a new ITSP, they are moving to an unknown -- this guy is CHEAP... but is he worth his salt?... Giving their current ITSP (assuming a good relationship) a chance to match it would be more beneficial to the customer, I'd think.

If you deal with enterprise customers, there is no problem here. The problem is in dealing with the SMB market which, as I often say, remains SMB for a reason mostly. So making illogical and non-business sound decisions is sadly a hallmark of the market and as an ITSP in that market you have to account for the fact that with the majority of customers, logic, good service, protecting them are not things that will often be taken into account.

And it is more than just drain, it is partially defeating the purpose of the second PSU. It's like having two NICs bonded on your server but only having one switch to plug them into. Sure, it is better than nothing, but it is not delivering the redundancy that you hope for or pay for. If anything goes wrong with that one UPS the redundant PSUs will be useless.

My penance for daring to argue with @scottalanmiller

It appears that you are running this via powershell and not cmd. Is that correct?
(Just thought I'd double check)

Yes via CMD

@gjacobse no sweat m8

That's one of 4 reports it gives us. I hate to toot their horn for free but they're a pretty skookum unit. We also have a temp/humid sensor additionally attached so in the screen cap below thats the internal temp and we put the other sensor on the top of the rack so we get room temp worst case

How are you trying to connect?

ok what about upgrading my preexisting 2008 R2 to 2012 R2 without losing my current configuration?? is it possible ??

Yes, you can do in place upgrades in most cases. Rarely recommended, clean installs are better, especially for servers. But technically it can be done.

Same sight existing user just called me complaining that the outlook 2007 client keeps locking up and crashing.

Said user is #3 in this list.

Just be thankful it isn't a PST file. (If it could even grow that large, which it can't.)

Yeah I think the "Office Uploader" got installed when I installed ODfB.

Which, as everybody here seems to know, seems to have some issues, generally.

If you have the dough to spend, Aerohive is really good stuff. Maybe I just like the platform better, but I see now that UBNT has upgraded UniFi, so I might need to thoroughly check it out before I commit to that statement. I just installed the new UniFi tonight because I saw this topic and wanted to check my config before commenting at all. If you want to do it on a budget, but not compromise the quality of the hardware then id go with the UBNT AP like @scottalanmiller suggested. Also I dont really bother with AC at this point because hardly any of my devices support it anyway, and I don't need those transfer speeds.

Keep in mind however ( not that this is a problem on my home network ) I think I recall reading some restrictions on those UBNT AP's. There was and may still be a hard limit of 127 devices per radio ( 127 @ 2.4 and 127 @ 5). In the forums people commented on a soft limit of 32 devices per AP, but I cannot attest to that having any accuracy. I don't know if you still need to configure wLAN groups for ZH (Zero Hand-off) to work, but it used to be that way for sure. Also there was a bug if you had the heartbeat checkbox enabled on the AP, MAC computers would randomly disconnect.

As far as switches go I really dont mind using inline adapters and barrel plugs with ac adapters. Id rather see one inline adapter fail than an entire POE switch, personally. This is really something you need to evaluate yourself.

I dont particularly like using Out-of-the-Box guest network configuration on UBNT equipment. My preference is to configure my own vLAN's and firewall rules. Last I knew you could have 4 SSID per AP, so I configure three. One for the managed network devices, one of personal devices and one for guests. Each SSID can be tied to a vLAN ID and you can introduce bandwidth policing at the SSID level. In my case, the managed network would be uncapped, the personal devices would have a minor cap, and guest networking would be "usable for general purposes". In the firewall I would isolate all three networks and block communication between them.

Anyway... that is my experience with these things. Hope at least one thing I mentioned helps you.

thx

@BRRABill Oh, ha ha. I missed that.

Espcially if you go the route of providing a computer or them bringing there own (but really either way it's best) a switcher is the cleanest solution. And they could have it mounted somewhere hidden with wall jacks.

I recently came across this comprehensive resource for BASH on Reddit's /r/bash.

what is the diffirence btw Xeon and i7 ??

At the highest level, the i7 is the top of Intel's desktop line. The Core i line is the i3 at the entry level, i5 in the middle and i7 at the top end. The Xeon is the server processor line, so while related it is listed differently. Xeons have been around eons longer than the Core i naming convention. Xeons come with more cache, cores and features and can be used in multi-processor configurations. At the low end an i7 and a Xeon would be close, at the high end Xeons get pretty crazy.

I agree, AFAIK Windows 10 Pro FPP will do what you need.

I've deployed Win10 to two user so far for testing. Everything has worked well so far. I plan to do the major upgrade this spring.

Example: the security settings for the public wifi are less than the security for our hidden network. Ex: I can get on Facebook from the public hotspot, but not if I use the hidden network...

Yes, I get that the network is a little odd. I'm unclear how the one recovery method that would have been applicable to an Windows Home OEM machine, slaving a drive, was blocked. If it wasn't blocked, why was anything else considered? If it was blocked, what does the network have to do with it?

Never mind. If the computer is still there, I'll check that folder location tomorrow.
