        @jaredbusch You win! 😄

        Even better that was a pseudo vacation paid for by work.

        Boss and I went to Hutchinson, KS (where that picture was taken) for a planned week of system updates. Me on the hardware and the boss on the software.

        We arrived to a failed RAID array. Talk about your timing.

        Anyway we got things bandaided and running by the end of the week but it needed some serious work still. So the boss told me on our way home to take the family with me and go back.
        I spent all night every night for 5 days getting the infrastructure back up and running, while spending the daytime doing tourist things with the family. All event tickets paid for by the boss.

              That wouldn't have passed the laugh test, and we'd be on Altigen forever.

                And yes, that's as ridiculous as it sounds.

                    During the very early stages of the project (a year ago when the CPU fan on our server broke and On High realized that yes, maybe it's time to look for something better), we looked into whatever new Altigen offerings there were. To have bought something directly from them (including subscribing to their hosted offering) would've meant we would've had to pay for me to be Altigen-trained in order to be eligible to receive support from them.

                      I vaguely recall conversations on the subject.

                        Just had to explain to folks that a problem with software on a user's personal computer on their home network is beyond the scope of our support.

                                  Another gem for today. LogMeIn Rescue chat session (yes, it's on my list to replace with ScreenConnect or something of the like).

                                  [Me]: Please drag the snipping tool to the other monitor
                                  [User]: i just closed it instead...or do you need it?
                                  [Me]: I need the snipping tool open and on the monitor that has this chat box.

                                          @eddiejennings Also, that guide is overly confusing IMO.

                                          Just use the GUI to make the VPN connection, then look at the config afterwards.

                                          There is nothing in that setup that cannot be done in the VPN GUI section.

                                            Yeah. That's probably what I'm going to do. That ASA will be replaced eventually. It might be worth just scheduling downtime, replacing both, and configuring anew. Ending configuration = site-to-site VPN between our office and data center network and remote access VPN to our office, which allows traffic to then cross the site-to-site VPN (since two of my bosses need to RDP into data center servers from their home).

                                            Might make another thread about this, since I'm sure there will be a conversation about how not-good the above is. 😉
