@gus said in MS Teams file attachments and changing primary email address:

It’s good that MS is upgrading Outlook to make it work better with Teams work. let's see what happens

Or people could catch up to 2003 and have everything fully integrated already like all of MS' competitors have had for nearly two decades now, lol. The use of Outlook remains pretty silly and it would be better if no one cared rather than MS trying to shoehorn Teams into a product that people shouldn't be deploying.

Turns out I would also need proper MICR font, like this https://www.1001fonts.com/micr-encoding-font.html

@dashrender said in printing notes section of Calendar Outlook on the web:

I have a user who wants to print what's written into the notes section of a calendar entry. Unfortunately, it's more than one page, and when you ctrl ^ P you only get the first page worth.

Outlook-on-the-web is pretty thin on printing features. I logged in and tried a couple of different ideas but couldn't find a way to print a long event description either. It is what it is I guess.

We use Zoho primarily and as a comparison Zoho's calendar lacks rich text formatting in the description but render links and will print multiple pages of description - if you pick print while viewing an event, not ctrl+p.

Gmail on the other hand will also print several pages of the description - if you pick print on an appointment, not ctrl+p. It supports rich text formatting but will drop the formatting when printing.

Thanks for looking - I'm definitely not changing systems just for that function - but perhaps that will be helpful for someone else.

@scottalanmiller Hi Scott, thanks for the post, unfortunately this works not on Mac OS X Mojave. I'm able to create a user but not able to login with this user account. It stucks after the login prozess. Is there any workaround?
Thanks!

I switched offices for a couple days to one where I'm on Ubuntu rather than my Mac. I'll look into it once I'm back to my Mac.

@gjacobse It is not compatible. There was another project out there that was ARM compatible. I think it fizzled or was bought by Google several years ago now. Sigh

@gjacobse said in Free Hosted Help Desk?:

"Free Hosted" doesn't mean it's the right thing. But in many cases - you can beat it to work for you. Just depends on the work and stress you want to deal with, what you want to give up and what you will never have..

I'd go as far to say that the "free" version is seldom the right thing. Often the reason to look for a solution in the first place is to become more effective and spend less time on something. Just stepping up to the first paying tier usually gets you a lot of features that will save you time for a very modest monthly cost.

@adamf said in Ubiquiti Edgemax Router:

Makes no sense. I have a feeling that something is buggy in the firmware.

What makes no sense is that you think it is firmware.

Just throwing out ideas because it doesn't make logical sense to me. Any thoughts as to what else it could be? Why would the device reply to pings for an hour after reboot, then suddenly stop?

Any chance your ISP is what is blocking you?

@gjacobse Weird is right.

the closest I've seen is when 'nix boxes get a DHCP - they send this number that is some form of extended MAC as the hardware ID.

Interested to hear what you find out.

DHCP seems reasonable. Or there was a conflict.

in my case it's something in the way many Linux's now work. This thread talks about it.
https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2288212-strange-extra-long-linux-mac-address-in-dhcp-active-leases

Not clicking the link, but it is the last 4 sets of the MAC address and the machine id as noted in /etc/machine-id. It is part of the DHCP RFC.

It's expensive. If you print a lot, it's crazy. If you hardly print anything, maybe the convenience is worth it. But if you print a lot, maybe it's rethinking printing itself that would make sense.

@travisdh1 No, backend database access isn't available to me.

Well, that's a little ****y. No db gui has given me everything I wanted to do with a database.

@jaredbusch Thanks Jared, just a brain fart on my end. Works as desired.

@dashrender said in O365 - send as Alias:

MS has finally brought Send as Alias to O365.

https://lazyadmin.nl/office-365/send-from-alias/

It's mind blowing that O365 didn't have that option since day one.

Yeah I found the issue, the environment has MFA enforced, but does not have Modern Authentication enabled.

Just getting approval from the customer before making the change as I'm sure Outlook will prompt for the MFA codes for existing users.

@dashrender said in SQRL:

yeah - in retrospect that was dumb. Someone has to be the champion of a project otherwise it will get no legs.
And with no champion, well, clearly it's just withered...

Right, it feels like even the creator didn't believe in it.

@pete-s said in Centralized Log Management:

Amazon is providing the service, not the software. So they don't need to adhere to GPL and similar licenses.

oh they have to adhere, it's just that the license clearly states that there are no limits on use. So they were adhering perfect.

ELK was upset that they didn't like how the code was being used when run in production and wanted control of the use of their code, not the reading or modification of the code.

@pete-s said in CentOS - What is the current opinion here?:

My guess is that Zimbra is getting by on mostly legacy installations though. Self-hosted email is hard to justify nowadays.

I think moreso they are killed off by their crap licensing, BS installation practices, lack of updates, and MailCow coming along and taking their candy away.

IF you feel the crazy need to host your own email, MailCow does it better than Zimbra, and is truly OS (and deploys natively to Docker.)

@pete-s said in P2V conversion:

@wls-itguy said in P2V conversion:

I have two physical servers that would take a great deal of time to rebuild to virtual so a conversion from P2V would be ideal. What are you guys using to do P2V conversions?

I was looking for VMWare's converter but I don't think it exists anymore.

It's better to just reinstall on a new Windows (I'm guessing) and do whatever upgrades that are needed at the same time.

P2V is not a good generic solution. Consider it for quick and dirty band-aid solutions only.

Totally agree. Use migration time as a good time to run side by side and migrate the app and update / cleanup with a fresh install. If you have good procedures, this will be trivial. If you don't, even better, this is a chance to catch gaps in the knowledge base.
