@nadnerB

I have had great results with this and the other people in the thread I worked with reported similar results.

Hmmm.... maybe Outlook 2003 is part of the issue 🙂

Tee hee.

lol I was thinking the same. Is Office 2003 EOL support this summer too?

For Outlook 2003:

11/20/2003 - Lifecycle Start Date 04/14/2009 - Mainstream Support End Date 04/08/2014 - Extended Support End Date

May Outlook 2003 rest in peace! 😉

OneDrive for Business works, even normal OneDrive would work for this.

"They don't have a very good business model what are you going to do when they fold?" Aggravating to say the least.

Since it's FOSS you can manage the project yourself, but every time a closed source company goes out of business, that code vanishes into thin air forever, leaving people behind. That's another thing people don't seem understand. Just because you paid for something, doesn't mean they'll support you when they fold, but if a FOSS company folds, at least you have the ability to fork the project and keep it going, especially from other users.

For example if Microsoft goes belly up Windows will die out, but if Linus Torvalds dies or Richard Stallman or anyone else like that, people will still crank out code for Linux, GNU projects, etc.

Did C support or implementation suddenly drop off after Dennis Ritchie died? Compare that to, say... ColdFusion or some other god awful garbage, those creators still curse the Earth and their products are dying.

If you do not want your VMware host to reach the Internet or any other subnet, you could also not give it a default gateway thus blocking it from communicating over any router automatically.

It's the computer I didn't want to reach the internet. However, I wanted the VMware to be alble to. I've, since then, achieved that mission.

@Dashrender at this moment in cPanel I have to change the password and give it to them. There is a reset of the password IF they know what the old password is.

According to cPanel support, this will be addressed some day.

Thanks for the input. I tried a few weeks for the free online ones. They either didn't work at all or they just converted to a docx with an image.

I ended up just passing this along to a coworker with Adobe acrobat pro

We already do that. It has helped a little, but people call when they call. They want results, etc.

Most calls are not for new business, so it's not a like a company who wants to make sure they answer the phone 90% of the time, or more, to ensure the most business. But at the same time we don't want pissed off patients who can't call and get results in a reasonable time either.

The one thing I'm not hearing are patient complaints. Sure someone might complain to the person they finally get to, but currently we don't track those, maybe we should. And we definitely aren't getting an inordinate amount of patients calling asking for the 'boss' so they can complain about a problem getting through on the phone. If that happened regularly, I'm sure we'd look at adding more staff to take care of that problem.

@scottalanmiller Social engineering is a great way to get what you want. Buffer overflows, unescaped SQL queries can be patched, people wanting to be "helpful" is an aspect of our culture and I imagine only by hiring the most irritating, least helpful people on the planet can you begin to really secure yourself against your own employees.

Reid is dead on. Since it's a vSwitch, no traffic should leave the host as long as the communications are only between those two VMs.

Even more stuff should be working now.

An interface to keep pace with SSDs 🙂

M.2 is interesting not just because it can speed up storage with PCI Express lanes, but because it can use a whole bunch of different buses too; it stands to replace both mSATA and mini PCI Express
http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2015/02/understanding-m-2-the-interface-that-will-speed-up-your-next-ssd/

It doesn't actually look like it will be revolutionary. It seems to be more along the lines of an adapter or go between. It still uses the same buses and still has the same limitation of the technology that it is integrated into. Will be cool and usable for the mini-pc and laptop markets but I doubt it will replace SATA in the near future.

I generally check out MNJTech and PCConnection for these types of things. MNJ has been really good at having the odd one off items.

Nice find!

While my St. Louis region voice pulse numbers all show McLeodUSA Telecommunication Services, Inc

Of note with this. Only the voice pulse lines have intermittent issues calling some numbers.

Been trying to find a problem. This may be the cause.

McLeod is a third string voice provider in the grand scheme of things, but they should have plenty of interconnects to the POTS network to route that call properly. Almost everyone in VoIP buys numbers from someone else. That's why Level3 showed up for your other lines. It keeps the VoIP provider in numbers across the country and keeps Level3 in easy money.

For your problem, gotta narrow it down. IntraLATA, InterLATA? Specific exchanges or specific numbers? SIP to SIP? SIP to POTS? Cross carriers? Or the ever so fun forward to external number that happens to be international.

@thanksaj

Yeah, all my experience has been with Windows DHCP, and you're right, configuring the DNS suffix and other options are easy as pie. On the pfSense/Linux side it's a bit...different...!

I don't have much experience with pfsense. I've played with it a little but never actually set it up and used it. YMMV

That is really nice that so many companies stepped in so quickly to remedy the situation. Kudos to them.

Maybe. But one of the main benefits I see people give for BYOD is cost savings. In your case, there is no cost savings, because the company still provides the same level of hardware and BYOD devices are just additional devices above and beyond what is already provided by the firm.

Actually in this case the costs would go up, because you would need to support an onsite guest network for those devices.

True, although most companies have that already. And technically that isn't needed, you can let people access via LTE or whatever. But that becomes pretty silly.
