Understood, but you can grow/shrink partitions in VMWare as well

No partitions here. We are talking about a file, not a partition.

THINKS - aw yes.. you're right - I see my missing logic.

It's OpenVPN and IPSec, I've used both a ton. No concerns there at all. But it doesn't do what Pertino does. While both are VPNs, they are completely different things. Pertino is a hosted full mesh. Ubiquiti, like any hardware VPN, is a site to site VPN. ** There are very few times that both would be an option for the same network.**

Really? I could see this being useful in my case where I have 4 remote locations using Site to Site, and for my mobile users they could use Pertino.

Aww.. I guess I'm to used to working on Firewalls, not routers.

A firewall is a set of extensions on top of a router, typically. You can have a layer 2 firewall (a bridging firewall) but those are very rare in the SMB. I've seen them, but almost never. Those that I do see are normally Untangle devices set to bridging rather than routing mode because they make crappy routers. In the enterprise space, bridged firewalls are pretty common because they want the firewall functionality separate from the routing appliance.

What you are used to is an "all in one" device that puts a router, switch, firewall and access point (wireless hub) all into one device. So what you are seeing with the VLANs is the switch functionality, not the router nor the firewall components.

So this interesting. We have our first desktop added into InTune that is running Windows 10 Tech Preview. In InTune it does not display as "Windows 10" as I would have expected. Instead it displays as "Windows 6.4" which is slightly confusing as the kernel is "NT 6.4" and the name is "Windows 10." Blending the two is odd.

Just found it interesting.

I've seen this behavior before - I think it was WSUS - windows 8(.1) was reported by something than it's normal name.

You can use Meraki MDM for free to do the basic stuff.

Let's hope for Ubiquiti's sake they do come out with an MDM solution for this - it would be so ironic to use Meraki's (Cisco's) solution to support Ubiquiti's stuff.

@JaredBusch I'll let Danielle know 🙂

@scottalanmiller said:

Ah ha. Well that would do it 🙂

Indeed it would.

Crap....I freaking missed it!

It's the curse of large companies. Once you get to a certain size you have more than enough unhappy customers (or people with a reason to make you look bad) that will be vocal in any setting that you just always have them no matter what you do. No way to be a huge company without that happening.

Thank you @PSX_Defector for the ideas.
We don't use any VPN or any special configuration.
as i mentioned it is only for :
Limit the bandwidth of internet per IP address
Firewall/blocking- it is bit similar to Untangle firewall.
We will explore this stuff today while nobody is using in Production.
I am excited to learn.
of course will post some question pretty soon. 🙂

THANK YOU!!!

I don't which server OS you have, but I've had no issues with the HP P2035n once I started using the HP Universal Print Driver. Of course those PCs are not using a printer server, so it may not be helpful info.

The UPD is just as useful in a print server setting as it is on individual machines.

Posted my first question(s).

I'm actually in my Admin currently via FF...

They are having service issues with Exchange and Sharepoint...(again)

Still having a number of challenges getting very basic things to work.

Such as?

Bind error is found when a client does a dcdiag to the server.

@ajstringham I'm pretty sure that it eventually logs you out - meaning that your account can only be logged in for so long. It's like every so many days your account will just log out once. I get it but it is rare.

Ok, it was just really random but if that happens, at least now I know about it.

I'm guessing the fact that with the server piece you get PWA is one of the main attractions over just using Project Pro through O365 in conjunction with files on Sharepoint?

Yes, PWA is an extension of Sharepoint that gives you even more power and features. Although the web access feature is new while PWA has been around for a long time. The web interface is not the main feature.

I use the unread when I'm on site as the point of origin from where start. I like the notifications the way they are.

I'm also mentioning @Reid-Cooper because he needs mentioning. smile.gif
