    The one big difference is that snowflake firms (or any size) tend to lean towards platform-based, agentless backups while DevOps firms almost never take platform-based backups because they have no need to ever restore a full VM, only the data.

    The one feature that I really loved with 3CX was the incredible ease of setting up soft phones over a VPN. They do that beautifully.

    And what do you mean "this is done by default in Windows 10"? The Quick Edit mode isn't checked on my PC (and I don't understand why I would want it to be).

    That's odd, on by default here.

    Yep, just check in 1511, enabled here.

    Symantec (6+ years ago) had a completely different product that they wanted VM based customers to use instead of BE. I didn't want to manage two products so I bailed.

    I hate searching this site...

    I swear there was a thread with a walk through on setting up nginx as a proxy for multiple servers....

    Anyone know where it is?

    I've been looking for the GUID entries in SCCM 2012 but have been unable to find them. When a machine is reimaged by SCCM, I was under the impression that it does indeed log the machines entry in SCCM. Google has evaded me... do you know where they get stored at in 2012?

    2012 is different to 2007 in that you don't need to go hunting for the GUID unless you are digging through the database.

    That being said...

    If you go to Assets and Compliance --> Overview --> Devices, you can add the GUID column by right clicking any of the column titles and selecting ID. Deleting the device from here also deletes it from the database.

    I'd say that is a good bit of information to have, but who is going to be moving PBX VM's midday? 😛

    For me it was good to know that it works that smoothly, not because I plan to ever move one during the day. But because if I HAVE to move one during the day, I will be confident that it will work.

    You did notice I up-voted your post? I was just messing with ya. Yeah, that was a valuable test, for sure.

    It is only a file system change, so while there is storage risk there is not essentially any system level risks, if that makes sense. The risk here is pretty much that the files corrupt in the process (or the entire filesystem does.) It should be extremely reliable but should anything go wrong, there is essentially no concern around the platform not continuing to work and so a restore is all that would be needed.

    Looks like SPICE could do it, found this comment on Wikipedia:

    Xspice
    The X.Org Server driver for the QXL framebuffer device includes a wrapper script[11] which makes it possible to launch an Xorg server whose display is exported via the SPICE protocol. This enables use of SPICE in a remote desktop environment, without requiring QEMU/KVM virtualization.

    I have never heard of a provider that required a separate trunk for inbound and outbound. that is just crazy.

    So, is this just a Vitelity issue? I know many SIP providers have their subtle differences, and you always seem to find them at the most inopportune moments.

    While we're on the subject of necrothreading, I'm thinking of picking up a GTX 980 and a 1440p monitor that supports gsync. time to start looking for holiday sales.

    As others have mentioned (thanks guys!), our Untirends Free only protects VMware, Hyper-V, & Windows clients, however our paid editions start at $299, which is a one time cost, and includes the 1st year of support. After the initial year, the only costs that you'll have going forward will be for support, which includes tech support & all software updates. This post about our updated XenServer protection went up on our blog yesterday. Please let me know what questions you may have.

    Not surprising. Hyper-V isn't really meant to be used in that way aside from admin tasks once in a while. It's really meant to be used to run servers/services. Not a desktop you access through it's own console.

    That's why I am not completely shocked. But since Hyper-V has replaced VirtualPC and is being promoted for this specific use case I am a little surprised that getting it competitive with VirtualBox has not been a priority.

    @LAH3385 might be good to start a thread and try to determine what your needs are before going down the path of technology. By the time you were asking this question, you were already in pretty deep assuming certain products, product categories and platform HA. We should start with a business needs analysis, use that to set goals and then use the goals to select technology approaches.

    @IT-ADMIN generally setting up your iDrac is the first step in installing a Dell server (or ILO for an HP, IPMI for SuperMicro, etc.) I don't know the T310 specifically, but likely you will need to set up access for it in the BIOS. The iDRAC will have its own IP address and should be accessible from a web browser.

    Most of the newer ones can be configured from the front panel LCD without even messing with the BIOS or Idrac/Lifecycle controller settings on the server.

    unfortunately i don't have LCD on my server
    what is strange is on their website they show LCD but in reality there is no LCD (just marketing) or maybe i have an old generation
