The specified network name is no longer available

I recall something a while back with AV issues. But are you using the FQDN? domain.local or domain.whatever ?

Look at Tech Soup. Great tool for Non-Profits. When we were figuring out what we needed for our move to O365 they were very helpful in assisting us with the right licensing and not getting things we didn't need.

One thing about Tech Soup, they don't sell the Azure AD premium licenses.

Forgot about that part...Ask me how I know

A better solution: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46899

Definitely a better option.

@Pete-S

As long as the server isn't a DC you can disable the local admin account. Just make your domain admin, or an account with domain admin rights, part of the local admin group.

I'm going through inventory of my network/machines and thought this was weird. Of course I could have missed some update commands or something but anyway:

The SIP-T46S looks like exactly what I want. Thanks!

It's really nice. That's what I have on my desk.

The SIP-T54 is the model that I think is replacing that in the newer line. But the T46S works great.

I have a T46G, T46S, and T54W on my desk atm.

@JaredBusch Are you still using FreePBX? I don't see a firmware for the T54W nor is the EXP50 available.

I use FreePBX almost all of the time. I don't generally use the paid EPM.

So then you upload manually? I bought the paid EPM a couple years back and I think I got a 10 year license.

Not to mention get them trained on it while still using zoom until they're comfortable.

that professors need training on how to use basic tools like this... it's unthinkable.

1/3 of the profs here are in their early 60's so technology isn't as easy for them. Making the changes in a zoom account to require a password, change settings, etc isn't as easy for them.

These are not the people we need teaching our children if they cannot figure out how to operate a zoom call. How can we expect them to teach our kids anything of value if they cannot do simple tech tasks? School is supposed to prepare kids for the real world (which last time I checked, has a ton of technology).

Sure if this were not a specialty school then I could see how technology is essential to the teaching. I work at a graduate school where about 1/3 of the schooling isn't technology based.

You got something to say then say it. Don't give me some dumbass gif or meme to try and get your point across.

Then stop saying it's ok that teachers are so incompetent that they can't use basic tech.

OK. So let me clear it up. The ones that use lecture based teaching don't use tech other than email. They barely use PowerPoint. I have now spent about 4 days teaching those profs to use Zoom for which we have a EDU account. So from a global standpoint I can make all the changes that Zoom as recommended and made for the free versions.

What I would prefer not to do is confuse the shit out of them and find another product that isn't as simple as Zoom is to have them only have more issues with that, struggle to get things figured out, or get pissed off and just give up. That benefits no one.

We have Microsoft Teams and on previous conversations on here there have been plenty of Why the F is Teams such a pain in the ass for this or that. So I am not going to throw Zoom in the trash because 4 out of 18 professors have more difficulty with certain tech than others.

Is that a better response?

It's really not. When profs are not technology inclined because they usually are lecture style teachers then you have a bit of a learning curve. Most of us can grasp things fairly quickly because we've basically been doing this most of our lives. 1/3 of the profs here are in their early 60's so technology isn't as easy for them. Making the changes in a zoom account to require a password, change settings, etc isn't as easy for them.

I was just told to find an alternative to Zoom. I asked why and they named all the issues that were there. I said they have all been addressed by zoom and then asked, how am I supposed to find another solution after the professors have been using Zoom for 3 weeks now. Not to mention get them trained on it while still using zoom until they're comfortable.

We'll be staying with Zoom.

That is for the SIP 54S and the T5 expansion

Haven't looked there yet, was looking at Mitel and Sangoma so far.

We had some power fluxes here on campus Wednesday and Thursday and since then I have lost two Aastra 6757i phones. I'm sure I could by a refurb'd replacement but wondering if any of you have another suggestion. It is our switchboard/receptionist phone so it has to have the side add-on capability to show other extensions that she can transfer calls to.

I need to know if a site is being accessed on my network. I have a Sonicwall NS2600 and set up the AppFlow logs but nothing is showing up there. I wasn't sure if I could use wireshark on the DNS server to see or if there was another option.

I have created a document center for our President and president's secretary to access files. I cannot seem to figure out how to remove the 'limited access' on the directory. The President is told the file is locked or he doesn't have permissions but the secretary can access.
