hmm.. I find myself kinda in the middle. I use both email and IM a lot, but the idea of deploying IM in my office to me personally is undesirable because I believe that it would just be a way for people to gossip all day long, and not offer a real benefit to the company.

This is the same logic that I give for why I feel that everyone should be work from home and not in an office. Whenever I go into a large office I realize that there are no real meetings, just people talking about sports and gambling. Sometimes sports gambling. Nothing but a waste of time.

Yes, but without large corporate offices, how are you to impress the potential clients? It's all a farce to be honest...

Greg found this article, seems to cover things pretty well around what we're trying to set up.

Along these same lines, I've had a request to find a way to add the oncall schedule to all of our physician calendars so they also get the information on their phone, not just in Outlook. Is this possible?

Not that i have found. We add the "public" account to each users phone and just sync the calendar. I believe if you had something like Sharepoint you could sync it correctly.

So you created another mailbox, granted everyone rights to it that needed it, then you sync two accounts on their device, the users own mailbox and the "public" box?

If this is right, do you have problems with people sending email from the wrong account on the device?

Correct. I turn off syncing of mail to the public account. Which seems to prevent them from sending mail as that account.

Great idea, I know that works on i-devices, I'm not sure about android.

We have 3 Android devices so far. The user actually has to go through some significant effort to send mail as that other account if it isn't synced. I've also turned off external delivery for that mailbox so it will only send mail internally. I really don't recommend this unless it is a last resort, it is finicky and sometimes the phones just stop updating the calendar for some reason, the only fix is to remove that account and re-add it at least so far.

From your lips to god's ears! I'm dealing with this issue right now with several iPhones - for whatever reason random iPhones will refuse to sync a random appointment here or there, but others before or after seem to work just fine.

Yep... the only fix I've found thus far is to remove the entire account and re-sync it. We have ~3500 calendar reservations that get synced so it is a pain for users to do.

I figured it was an autocorrect....

Have you checked to see if you are exhausting memory when it crashes?

@IRJ That's why this is a community and not email 😉

Good luck with your deployment!

Reminds me of this guy at Spicecorp one time. He thought he was cock of the walk, talking about PCI compliance. He made a statement that wifi can NEVER be used per PCI compliance.

Like HIPAA, PCI compliance is a guideline, there is nothing verboten. Yes, wifi could be "hacked" but also leaving interfaces unsecured is also a violation.

Of course, I love the "cloud" hosts who claim they are HIPAA compliant.

Set up a NAS, Use CloneZilla, and go...
Multiple hardware types are a pain, but the last 10 years have been the norm for me. I miss the days when I could build a bootable CD and would TnL (Toast and Load) a workstation for me...

Ah.. batch scripting with Ghost...

Sweet! Thanks @Dashrender

Sweet, just tried it here, works great.

Still like the output from my script better--more PowerShellish. It's also quite a bit faster (the ifconfig.me site seems pretty sluggish).

Kind of like how you can do that for flights now.

I see this sometimes too.

This should be baked into your images

Apparently the guy who was doing this wasn't the one who made the image

What exactly do is he do to setup the default profile? This will give you the answer if it can be done with GPO. Adding things like desktop icons are easy via GPO

Exactly.

You are agreeing with me, but you never answered my question.... 😛

Not sure on all exact settings. Is there anything that you'd be limited to doing this way that can't be done via GPO?

Here is a good place to start

Good find.

WSUS are a type of offline updates.

Well, not really. WSUS can be used if the client is offline from the Internet but not if it is offline from the network or turned off.

sorry not familiar with the product.
