Other than smart aleck and flippant comments about running on old platforms, nope
I'm assuming you're talking about 2012 R2, and yes, that is on my list to upgrade.
At least it isn't 2003 or 2008

@scottalanmiller said in Stop CC'ing yourself:
Funny enough, I saw this setting for the first time in years just this morning! Yes, as B3D says, it's called "Always BCC Myself" and it had to have been selected manually by the exec in question.
Why do I find that not at all surprising that it would have to manually be set?
That's a good thing. It's a good setting, but you'd not want it for most people.
I submitted too fast and didn't finish my thought. I meant more so that it would be manually set and the exec wouldn't remember that he did it.

VMWare vSphere 6.5 loses licensing
Anyone else have this happen recently? I got Veeam backup failure notifications last night and this morning saying that the servers being backed up were disconnected. I connected to vCenter and Sho'Nuff two of my hosts were disconnected. When I tried to reconnect it said I didn't have licensing. It took a bit but I finally got them reconnected and relicensed.

RE: Fiber VS Copper: racks interconnection in a pre-existing environment
I have 4 network closets stretched around our campus and just had 10G fiber run to all of them from our main server room. Before that was copper run to the length limit. I would recommend fiber over any length if speed is a factor, but when isn't it?

Windows Server GUI
How many of you still use the GUI when running windows servers? I'm getting ready to upgrade a few of our 2008 R2 servers to 2016 (a little late I know) and just thought it was funny to see the "Windows Desktop Experience" on the install.

RE: Microsoft support - downhill?
@scottalanmiller said in Microsoft support - downhill?:
This we hear a lot. Bad communications, unable to speak English, lots of passing the buck and run around, and then delay after delay presumably to push you to find an alternative to them actually doing something.
I couldn't get in to our Volume licensing center about two months ago. Called, got put into a queue, the girl, who could barely speak english said that she would be connecting me with someone to help me somehow just dropped the call after about 10 minutes. Called back and had to go through the whole thing over again. Was escalated but was told they'd have to call me back. 2 weeks and nothing. Turns out that Microsoft changed my account to a "business account" through O365 because the synod office is on O365 so they saw the account in their db and just merged it. Was a bigger PITA than it needed to be. Actually solved it with the help of the synod office guys. Just a plain old F story from Winblows.

@rojoloco said in Microsoft support - downhill?:
I haven't had to contact MS that often, but whenever I contact Dell support (many of the same issues), I use chat instead of calling. Many of their techs are quite capable at typing english vs. speaking it. Seems to help get rid of the communication barrier (in my experience anyway).
I do that for HP and Lenovo as well.

RE: Looking to ditch windows at work....
@irj said in Looking to ditch windows at work....:
Is there any legitimate contenders for Outlook on Linux? We currently have Exchange 2010 so the webmail isn't exactly full featured like it is on newer versions.
Push notifications are requirement for me.
Too expensive to upgrade to Exchange 2016 or migrate to O365?

RE: PDQ Deploy
@wrx7m said in PDQ Deploy:
I used the deployment section on the Adobe site to download the installer, which hasn't been updated in quite some time.
In PDQ deploy, I have the following settings:
Afterward, I have a bat file that runs ninite pro to force an update on Adobe.
There is a PDQ Deploy package that will run the update, although I haven't tested it yet

What do you use for AntiVirus?
We had been using Avast for EDU and now they have decided to remove the free for edu option. Before that I had Trend Micro deployed but the price raised exponentially. Looking for the best option for protection and price point.

RE: SSL Certs
@travisdh1 said in SSL Certs:
@wls-itguy said in SSL Certs:
OK. So if I have 3 servers that have the following:
pbxserver.site1.org at x.x.x.1
secserv.site1.org at x.x.x.2
weather.site1.org at x.x.x.3I could use one wildcard cert for all three servers, correct?
Yes.
Not sure why my brain wasn't grasping that. Maybe I need more whiskey in my coffee this morning
Thanks!

FreePBX update error
Not a linux guy. Can anyone kick me in the right direction to fix this?

This often means that the root cause is something else and multilib version checking is just pointing out that there is a problem. Eg.: 1. You have an upgrade for openssl-libs which is missing some dependency that another package requires. Yum is trying to solve this by installing an older version of openssl-libs of the different architecture. If you exclude the bad architecture yum will tell you what the root cause is (which package requires what). You can try redoing the upgrade with --exclude openssl-libs.otherarch ... this should give you an error message showing the root cause of the problem. 2. You have multiple architectures of openssl-libs installed, but yum can only see an upgrade for one of those architectures. If you don't want/need both architectures anymore then you can remove the one with the missing update and everything will work. 3. You have duplicate versions of openssl-libs installed already. You can use "yum check" to get yum show these errors. ...you can also use --setopt=protected_multilib=false to remove this checking, however this is almost never the correct thing to do as something else is very likely to go wrong (often causing much more problems). Protected multilib versions: 1:openssl-libs-1.0.2k-13.el7.x86_64 != 1:openssl-libs-1.0.2k-12.el7.i686

RE: On-Premises soft PBX
Not that this adds anything to this thread. We've been using FreePBX for 6 years now. I wouldn't use anything else at this point. Support is top notch. Everything works and I can figure things out if needed. I built our system with little help from FreePBX at the time but now that Sangoma has taken over it just gets better and better.

What tools do you use...
I find myself moving through a few tools to maintain my network. I have Spiceworks for ticketing but don't really like the inventory/asset management part. I use PDQ Deploy and Inventory for update management along with WSUS for Windows updates. I use PRTG for up/down and resource/usage tracking.
I was hopefully looking to find more of an all in one solution but not sure that one truly exists. I know Connectwise/LabTech but that seems more like MSP tools than a single in house solution. ManageEngine has a great system but not sure if that fits what I'm looking for either.
What do you guys use?
