Man, I just finished upgrading us to Windows 7 64 bit. Got the last XP machine removed last week...

Did you really target Windows 7 as the "go to" target, or was it simply that the last XP was removed finally and now Windows 7 is the "old stuff" left around?

nah I was just gaffin. I've upgraded all our stuff to Windows 10 1809 baby

Oh, haha. You never know. The number of people out there pushing for Windows is crazy high.

@JaredBusch I don't know if you ever finished up with this client, but for $1236 you can get a decent server that would work well.

Add $99 if you wanted the 3 year warranty

Anyone familiar with Mango Intranet? Want to look at a few different options...

Seriously... $4 per user, per month. Ouch.

Looks like you could do something similar on WordPress for way less.

Now that's disaster recovery planning long term!

Thanks for the example. It makes so much sense now.

Have never looked at that.

Are there many use cases in the SMB outside of Dev?

Not even in dev really for the SMB. Just use a single VM to do the work. SMB rarely needs to scale.

Other than as you stated, the solution is presented that way. Like UNMS.

Even enterprise rarely need to scale that way. It's more for hosting companies than anything.

@scottalanmiller I was considering rolling them back to last night as a last-ditch scenario is all fails since it is on Veeam and I have a Full from last night.

@travisdh1 This^^

If I ever feel the pinch of having "only" 1.5TB available on my home lab box, I know what I can do for an upgrade!

I'm using backstage more

I assume that this is a component of another product?

Part of ConnectWiseControl. (or ScreenConnect as we still call it around here.)

It's at the bottom of the View tab when attached to a guest. Takes you to a new sessions as a System account with a command prompt and powershell window already open. No limit to what you can accomplish there. many gui apps will run in backstage too.

@JaredBusch Yes, we were going to try to use the Pterodactyl panel to manage a server.

That has nothing to do with the point of this thread. Make a new thread if you want to discuss that.

In keeping with the thoughts about who allows you to use other name servers, we have been using DirectNic as our registrar for many years. Make sure to give them a look. The can register about any name you can think of including Columbia 😉 allow you to create your own custom name servers, and allow you to point to any name server you wish. This all means ultimate flexibility for us.

Fixed a small typo.

Checking out their github, it looks pretty new.

Good find.

You had said that the /etc/passwd table returned too many results. I asked that if you didn't want a list of all of the users on the system, how would you define an appropriate list to return as you obviously had to have some shortly list in mind to make the statement. I wanted to know, how would you describe a better return... which subset of users do you want returned when you query the userlist (everyone I know of what's all, not some kept secret.)

You agree not all, but you didn't explain how you would determine which ones to display and which ones to hide. And if the Windows tools don't show all, how do you manage the secret accounts that those commands do not display? Are you saying that there is yet another set of PowerShell commands to manipulate the true local user list?

Your response doesn't follow the discussion. Those are commands, not users.

Topic has been forked, please keep discussions of OS comparisons to a different thread.

Just ran updates in FreePBX and now the queue buildup is back. Guess I'll have to fix it the right way

Enjoy!
