I would set the default to no longer send. Then if people want them, they can turn them on.

@scottalanmiller Didn't really answer mine... should have been more specific...

I’m curious what other people do when they run across situations like this.

Let’s say you have two offices connected by vpn on two different service providers. Lets call Site A the main office, Site B the remote office. Site A and B each have different ISPs. Packets are being dropped between the two sites but, traffic just reaching out to the internet works fine for both sites. Performing a traceroute between the two sites shows you being routed through a 3rd providers network, and one of the links in that providers network is dropping the packets from intermittent issues. The link is up enough that the router doesn’t detect it as down to use another route to send the traffic through. But it is disruptive enough that people in Site B can’t access the services in Site A.

Where/who would you contact to begin troubleshooting/reporting this issue to?

Slow Paying Customers! When I consulted, I had a client who owed me a trivial amount ($400ish), They payed it over 4 months and 3 checks. After that I know longer did work for them anymore...

I agree this could be a problem. Especially if you are the MSP. However, before a project of any scale is started, I would ensure that payment details are agreed up on so there are no surprises.

If i were to do consulting again, I would do things alot differently that I did the first time. I've learned alot since I was 19.

@travisdh1 said in So I bought an abandoned Storage unit in Paradise, CA - Tons of vinage computer stuff was inside.:

Please tell me I wasn't the only one that had a special boot floppy made just to eek enough memory to run that one program that really needed all 4MB of memory?

I had to do that to play Sim City 2000 on DOS5

This thread made me curious, I called the number on their website (which loaded since I'm in the US) and a live person answered.

When I was a consultant, I used GoToAssist for remote support. I liked it, it always worked well for me.

The things with Mac's are you have to embrace Apple's way of doing things, if you do that, the interoperability between devices works very well...

I just said "sorry, wrong number and hung up". LOL

@Ambarishrh It works well you can divide stuff up by companies and it can keep track of notes,time spent working on a pc. There are 3rd party solutions to import thatinfo into Freshbooks as well (i've never used any).

I'm hoping to buy my ticket soon, just got to get the boss' to sign off on it!

@wirestyle22 Thats my current role... im basically title-less ... or the IT guy...

This guy has 5 servers running only 20 vms stored on a Netgear SAN.

@JaredBusch It took a while, but I finally got the open sip firmware for the cisco phones I have.

I am a couple of days in on a Proof of Concept trial of Cylance Protect. I am pretty impressed so far. I have found a few machines running some malicious software (nothing major) that our current provider has failed to catch.

The software is very lightweight, only using about 44MB of Memory and never have seen CPU resources over 1%.

The online management portal is intuitive and makes machines easy to manage.

I'll keep everyone posted as the trial moves along!

He also called @scottalanmiller a troll and Spiceworks Jesus

But I've also used them for target practice. I'm personally not worried about the government trying to recover the data on the drives. And I'm not worried about normal criminals trying to recover data because the cost involved would most likely be higher than the value of the data gained.

Drilling/shooting, totally fine in my opinion.

Shooting gives you a little stress relief too!

I've never used an HPE server in production, only Dells.
