      @wls-itguy said in P2V conversion:

      I have two physical servers that would take a great deal of time to rebuild to virtual so a conversion from P2V would be ideal. What are you guys using to do P2V conversions?

      I was looking for VMWare's converter but I don't think it exists anymore.

      It's better to just reinstall on a new Windows (I'm guessing) and do whatever upgrades that are needed at the same time.

      P2V is not a good generic solution. Consider it for quick and dirty band-aid solutions only.

      Totally agree. Use migration time as a good time to run side by side and migrate the app and update / cleanup with a fresh install. If you have good procedures, this will be trivial. If you don't, even better, this is a chance to catch gaps in the knowledge base.

      @wls-itguy said in FreePBX DAHDI card not connecting:

      @pete-s

      Doesn't FreePBX use their own distro though? Or is that something different?

      I don't know. I was always under the impression it was CentOS, which until recently is the same as RedHat Enterprise Linux.

      I'm sure @JaredBusch knows more.

      FreePBX is Sangoma 7, a fork of CentOS 7.
      They had a private alpha of FreePBX 15 or 16 built on CentOS 8 that was never public. That was killed when RedHat killed CentOS 8.

      FreePBX 16 is still Sangoma 7, but with PHP 7.4 ported in and a few other updates.

      There has been no announcement yet, but a few threads on, choosing a new fork to go forward with.

      @pete-s said in KVM or VMWare:

      It isn't the ability to automate that is the problem. It's the availablility of easy to use tools that is the problem.

      Thats the whole point I'm making.

      KVM is hard to automate. Not that it's impossible, but the tooling doesn't exist to where you can easily automate like with VMware.

      Agreed, and I don't think that that's the point of concern here. The issue at hand should be "does that automation that VMware offers get used by or should be used by the OP?" I believe that the answer is no to being used today and likely no to should it be used. It's a very small deployment. The overhead to the automation, even when you have VMware, is too high. And regardless, even if we agree that it should be used, probably because an MSP/ITSP is brought in to effectively make the environment larger and changing some of the scale discussions, the bigger question would be "will the OP's environment opt to do that anyway?" If that answer is "no", in the practical sense, then the automation point becomes moot.

      I "think" we can all agree that VMware has better standard built in automation. And that KVM is completely automatable if you put in the extra, non-standard effort. So if we were considering standard automation then VMware would have an important edge in that area. That point shouldn't be in dispute. We can argue how close KVM gets, while still being behind, sure.

      But the key point here, for me, is that I believe based on knowing the environment a bit that that automation is not, and won't be, used if VMware remains.

      @scottalanmiller I'd be happy just to see the desktop at this point.

      Most messaging platforms (Teams, Jitsi, Zoho Cliq, Slack, RocketChat, etc.) are going to do that for you.

      Right, just to see? You can do Jitsi so easy. it is all a web page.

      But also, almost everyone can use Zoom any more. and it also has screen sharing.

      Forgot that is a feature in Zoom. Works for what I needed.

      Thanks everyone!

      @Pete-S said in PHP 8 upgrade:

      It's a little early I think. PHP is currently only on 8.0.3 and none of the big distros are yet running 8.x branch.

      @dbeato said in PHP 8 upgrade:

      I haven't tested yet to be honest. We shall see.

      I've got clones of the WordPress and Moodle servers that I think I'm going to play with. I though I saw WordPress pushing php 8 recently.

      @WLS-ITGuy said in Aastra phone replacement:

      I don't see a firmware for the T54W nor is the EXP50 available.

      These phones are basically new since October or so. They will not be in EPM anytime soon because of how that has traditionally worked. The device manufacturer has to sing an agreement with Sangoma (Schmoozecom) to get a device supported. I assume, but do not know for a fact, that the agrement includes monetary compensation also, as anything in EPM is fully tested by Sangoma also, and testing takes manpower (money).

      With Appflow you need to make sure you have authentication enabled for the users so it tracks per user. The Data Collection is for sure nice but it is only the top sites and no much information.

      That messages means a lot of things but yeah Whitelist on their Spam Filter end, Adding your IP to your SPF record, check if there is anything on the body of the message triggering the block on their end (i.e. URL or site link).

      It is Office 365 with Exchange - I have created all the records that Microsoft wanted me to.

      So, just to be clear, this is 100% not on my end, correct?

      It shouldn't be on your end, the message is coming from the recipient's end server.

      Right, which means that they received it.

      As above what they are are saying is that using Hybrid AD is fine with a domain name that is not the same as long as you add the UPN in Active Directory Domain Trusts and then you adjust all the users in the domain to match that domain either manually or scripted.
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/enterprise/prepare-a-non-routable-domain-for-directory-synchronization

      My only concern with this is that you might not need to sync AD but if you are already setup then it is kinda hard to revert.

      Why buy at one, then move the registrar to another?

      OH! Because CF doesn't let you buy, but that's where we want the account to be.

      What account? CF will be the registrar, but only from transfers?
      that sucks.

      Yes, it's weird. You can only transfer to them, not buy directly.

      You can renew there though?

      yes, once you transfer you are all set. Just the initial purchase doesn't work.

      I thought I read it somewhere. Thanks.

      What about backups? I thought I read somewhere that O365 doesn't do backups. So if an end user deletes an email or accidentally deletes/moves a folder there is no way to retrieve that.

      Although the backups are for Microsoft themselves see this
      https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/exchange-online-service-description/high-availability-and-business-continuity

      Well, it looks that it is actually FreePBX as part of the problem again with some stupid cron jobs.

      And there is an issues with Moodle but I think that is more of an authentication issue and not actually a spam issue.

      @WLS-ITGuy

      Look good to me .

      If you need to send emails from the box itself you need to open additional, but usually you rely on third party services for that like SMTP2GO or SendGrid and for that you dont need to open any additional ports.

      I used to firewall port SSH but then i was like I would like to work on machines from anywhere, so I just enable strong SSH auth based security.

      However both approaches will work, the thing is imagine if you want to connect on that machine on emergency, you have to go to the 74 IP or vpn to it.
