Garage office getting an upgrade?

Customer site. The 5 year old Black & Decker unit they had died.

How did the 8% avoid being compromised?

I was wondering that.

@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!

@stuartjordan said in Convert Between Popular VM Formats for Free with StarWind:

Looks good though if it does all. I assume it's a windows based product though?

IIRC, yes you have to install it on a Windows system and then connect to the hypervisor in question to create / export the VM you're wanting to convert.

It's been a while since I've last had to convert anything.

@dbeato said in Substantial OnPremise Exchange Vulnerabilities announced yesterday Patch Immediately:

@DustinB3403 Yeah, Exchange 2013 and over. You have to also be on the last 2 Cumulative Updates from Exchange 2013, 2016 or 2019. For 2019 You only can get the updates through Microsoft Volume Licensing.

Yeah, a customer attempted an update from 2016 CU15.1 to CU19, it errored out on the last step, they restored (bad move) and had some mail flow issues for a bit.

But they are back online now

@Dashrender said in Microsoft Hid Known Vulnerability According to Senator:

you're saying that they can't ever be wrong in their releases?

No, I'm saying that whether right or wrong is irrelevant. That it happened is what matters. Deciding if it happened accidentally or on purpose is a different discussion. Things that happen on accident doesn't make them not have happened.

Like teen pregnancy....

LOL, exactly.

@scottalanmiller said in MS RDS: How Do You Reset Device License Assignment:

how do we reset it to allow for updated devices?

Open "RD Licensing manager", browse for device who's license you want to "revoke", leftclick on it and choose "Revoke license"
As said, up to 20% of total licenses can be revoked before expiry.

So piss off Microsoft.. I so do not want to remove and add a role to resolve a role not working right......

But I found no other solution yet.
