@Dashrender logged in as the administrator there were no printers. I added and deleted the printer from there multiple times.

So going to use postbox for now, installed on my MAC as well, works fine, can extend features with addons. seems like some of thunderbird/mozilla plugins can be used with postbox. https://www.postbox-inc.com/add-ons

but still very less that what it's supposed to be

Define "what it is supposed to be?" What makes you feel that it should be faster?

Exactly - Until you test transfering a 4+ GB file so you have at least 1 min of sustained transfer on a single file you won't really know what you're getting.

As Scott mentioned, small files are the killer of SMB protocol.

Unless there is another distributed file solution that can make work for their Mac / Apple eco-system.

If they happen to be using Gmail for their email you may want to look at AODocs. Amazon WorkDocs is another option.

Always complaining to me the slowness of mac's even though they're spec'd accordingly. Soon as you kill dropbox.. runs fine. had to implement alot of QoS on their network to throttle DB traffic.

Did you make any changes to the LAN Sync feature in Dropbox? I've always seen big improvements when blocking cloud sync services over WLAN within the office via endpoint software. e.g. Symantec

If you've got Xen working, why still have a second boot option instead of running it in a VM?

I mean, I can understand wanting to experiment, but that's just odd.

As mentioned earlier, this is fine with me, started working on the Xen, but just wondering how this worked earlier and why is it not working now. @Mohammed-Fota i will try the bios update as well.

@scottalanmiller Whether the Cell phone has to be rooted to do the swapping

Depends on the phone, I suspect.

Are those apps malicious I wonder like a lot of the flashlight and battery android apps?

They are apps on Android for doing things that your phone is not meant to do. Has all of the red flags of malicious apps. I'm going to guess that there is a good chance.

I used to do IT weekend work a lot. Mostly it was heavy lifting stuff like physical desktop migrations where I would be on or lead a team that would unload a truck, put computers on desks, plug them in, image them, set them up, document stuff for users and move on. I've done this for small companies and huge enterprises. It's common work. Doesn't pay great, but low stress, extra money and gets your resume growing.

Additionally you don`t have time to waste it on beer, so work equals savings 🙂

@IT-ADMIN As mentioned previously, post this on their twitter page, and see if that helps! 🙂
https://twitter.com/kaspersky you will get a broader audience, and i guess they will listen to you then!

Also add https://twitter.com/e_kaspersky who is the Chairman and CEO of #Kaspersky Lab. 😉

An example:
https://twitter.com/kaspersky/status/630771200944414720

Not sure if that was solved but at least some one replied! 🙂

And this one could help too http://qz.com/437219/complaining-on-twitter-can-result-in-good-customer-service-if-you-do-it-right/

OK, so they don`t care completely:)
TBH I have no idea why they are ignoring people on their own forum - that thing is public as well.

@nadnerB Thank God i could remote it and do the things required, otherwise would be driving a bit far to do this! 🙂 Thanks to screenconnect, i was actually evaluating screenconnect as my go to tool for remote support, one thing i noticed is few windows message screenconnect didn't allow me to click ok to proceed, at that time it just shows that i am connected but not the guest. Used Teamviewer free for that to complete that action, so i have second thoughts about screenconnect!

When ScreenConnect is running as an admin process, you can click everything.

They really need a tool to handle this.

And another one...

I am looking at upgrading my infrastructure soon. Has anyone had any experience with Extreme switches?

Not yet but they look like what we will move to when we upgrade... Eventually

We have a business unit that uses them They are always having issues with HMI/PLC logic stuff working over them. Normal data works fine but Extereme nor them have figured out what the deal is.

Turned out to be a bug in the Cisco IOS version 15.0.. updated to 15.2 and it worked.

hell, forget windows. Let's look at phones! Android phones rare ever get patched. A hardware firewall in front of them seems very smart!

If you are concerned with security to the point that you are carrying hardware to put in front of your phone, wouldn't you more likely just get an iPhone?

The article implied that iPhones were just as easy to force to his AP as Windows or Android devices.

The point was that they are patched regularly. The carriers can't block it and Apple really annoys people who hold back. Apple takes security seriously in a way that Google cannot because of how they treat the ecosystem and carriers.

Google capitualated, Apple didn't. Apple said - you want our phone, you'll do it our way.

The carriers told Samnsung, LG, HTC, etc (I'm sure Google wasn't even part of it) you want us to carry your phones, you'll do it our way, or we'll find someone who will.

Yup, leaving Apple with a stronger security hand.

And while he did say in the OP he needed to backup 8 TB daily, yeah I didn't think that was likely, and wasn't surprised when we corrected himself on that point. But as of yet hasn't told us what he is rate limited to, nor what his daily changes are.

Though mentioning that they delete all the old changes - yeah I'm sure that's another miscommunication as well.

All of this leads me to think that he is trying to find written, public justification for something that he has been unable to justify himself.

It sure smells that way, don't it?

Yeah. It it looks like and duck and quacks like a duck. I totally recognize that I'm doing the "jumping to reading into their intentions" thing that I get called on a lot so I'm trying not to say that he's doing this... only that that is how it comes across and someone who was trying to falsely justify a known bad solution would do it in exactly this way. This is the pattern you would look for for someone who knows that they have done the wrong thing and have a bias and are trying to subtly inject false information to lead people away from the obvious path.

Doing it up front was one thing, but not acknowledging that his info was wrong and that obviously his logic doesn't hold up means we've left the really obvious "oops, I missed that detail" excuse window.
