@jasgot it’s less about the physical size of the monitors and more the resolution of the monitor.

Our Surface Pro 6 drives a 27” 1920x1080 display no problems.

If you need/want 4K, the specs should tell you if they are supported.

@zachary715 said in HP 2920 switch firmware issue:

I've been running WB. 16.10.0010 for a few months now without issues on a couple 2920's.

Only 1 out of 5 had this issue for the client, so it seems to be a rare problem. Of course it was the core switch that everything connects to.

@scottalanmiller
I've never heard of TacticalRMM - but I love our MC. Is everyone digging it? I see that its a very active development and think I need to give it a try.

Not many people using it that I know of, we just started using it in the last few weeks. but I've been following it for a while. They see to be doing some awesome stuff.

@eleceng said in Best Dedup Software:

Any opinions on the dedupe software and the search software r appliance?

For this kind of thing, you don't need software for a couple reasons. One is that you need to manually maintain the master file system for them to share. And second because you can just write a script that compares checksums and lists the master list of files for you to store. No need for software as the OS can already do this.

@scottalanmiller said in Postfix Script to send email automatic:

This is the industry standard way, it's so quick, easy, efficient and standard that no one ever considers reinventing the wheel because the wheel is so good.

People have repeatedly reinvented the wheel. . . .

@scottalanmiller said in Macbook Air for College:

What more were you looking for?

Air or Pro?

It depends. If you need the extra 100 nits of brightness, touchbar, and you know you need the fan from extended compute then get the pro. Otherwise save the couple hundred and get the air.

You can still get the 8 core cpu and 8 core gpu in the air. It's pretty much the same minus the stuff mentioned above. The battery is also a tiny bit smaller and I think the microphone is less "studio quality".

Yeah, watch out for the 7 core Air. Cheaper, but just splurge.

Also the Air is lighter. For a student on the go, likely will be appreciated.

@flaxking said in Microsoft Resellers:

Great experience with Insight Canada account managers. Not so great experience with CDW.

Ingram Micro and Synnex were ok, RMAs always were a pita.

In the US we have to use Insight Canada for account managers. And they were terrible. We've had so many customers totally screwed because they lost their licenses, had no way to be reached. At one point, even Microsoft had no way to reach Insight!

You can also run the Veeam ENdpoint agent on the VMs and run the backups.

@dbeato said in Outlook Calendar Security Group Permissions:

@mr-jones I was going to say I have a script that does change the Default Permisisons to all users

https://github.com/dbeato/scripts/blob/master/Office 365/Update-Default-Permissions.ps1

But It might come down to having the users added either via script or manually to that group you want and then applying the permissions. However Microsoft Exchange has been cumbersome to apply permissions by groups. I would recommend to do it by user instead.

Yea it does sound like that might end up being the case. I'll poke at it some more, as I'm not quite ready to give up on it. Thanks for the reply.

@dbeato the filter moves any subject that has SPAM to the folder junk which adds to all the domains instead of one by one

@eleceng said in Need to Purchase a New Switch What Cisco Family?:

@scottalanmiller Yes I meant Reseller / VAR

Then definitely DCW. I told them to watch this thread.

Was that supposed to be CDW?

No, what crazy person would recommend them?

@hobbit666 said in New storage... what about file server:

WOW @scottalanmiller thats a lot to take in, will take someone a week to read and digest all that lol
But all good.

🙂 If it helps it to make more sense.... remember that business is all about offering something special. If you just do what everyone else does, business can't work. You have to go above and beyond to succeed. So since IT is just business, the same applies. our job is to be significantly better than if someone wasn't doing something special. Therefore if everyone is doing something, it can't be that.

@killmasta93 said in Bitlocker GPO automatic?:

@black3dynamite
Thanks for the reply and sorry the late reply i did not get a notification on the email,
seemed that the issue was that it has to be done by \nameof server and not IP

I think it has to do with the trust factor. with a name, your endpoint is able to verify the fileserver, as an IP it can't.

@pete-s I've never claimed to be a real PHP dev. So this is good feedback.

@dbeato said in User email search in Exchange Online:

However if you go through a group of folders that are narrowed down, it is hard to do.

Mostly, I want to exclude some folders (full of system emails) and deleted. All of which are returned if you use all folders.

The work around, is to click the folder, then click in search and use the recent to pop what you want.

Not as convenient as Outlook's search folder functionality.

But no Windows and no Outlook is a bonus.
