    I have seen the same thing. Often VoIP reliability simply outperforms traditional phone types. VoIP gets so much more modern infrastructure and has so much more resiliency, mostly in the ability for the end users (customers) to enact their own redundancy strategies whereas traditional phone types required complete dependence on a single vendor to supply all reliability and if they failed to do so there was little recourse leaving little incentive for them to do a good job.

    @scottalanmiller not the point I was making.

    Just saying that it could be super easy with effectively zero effort.

    Yeah, I know. A bookmark in Chrome works just as well. Lol

    So weird, you click on Not Junk and it asks if you always trust. Bah...that doesn't work.

    Reading can be informational!

    I have also manually added email addresses to Safe Senders in Oulook's Junk E-mail options.

    Hmm...

    Oh well.. I might just stick an MS OS back on an old PE box and use NTbackup.. It's simple,.. but doable.

    What PC are they connecting to, and are the credentials stored in the browser on that computer somehow? I'm confused how having them remote into a specific PC to do this when they likely need to know the credentials anyways adds any value.

    This would be a one time log in and no, the password is not saved.

    Ok, so how does having them use a separate PC make anything more secure? Unless they are using personal machines for work...

    Brother MFC-J6720DW $225 on amazon

    Set this bad boy up yesterday along HP Pro series desktop. It was nice to see that the product is a Professional Series Inkjet. Much bigger than our previous Brother consumer printers, this one is close to the specs of the 2 we bought.

    Thanks for the recommendations!

    Also, @PSX_Defector , this is my test box. They let you pick whatever OS you want to run on here and run it, be it Windows or any flavor of Linux. They don't put any blocks on it. I just use Google for DNS because it's faster and more stable as a rule.

    Well, they send the notification as though they are getting a channel unavailable response from the PBX. I'm looking to call them tomorrow but wanted to see if anyone had seen this before. I do not think it is the PBX either.

    Everything about this screams "hiccup in Vitelity" but of course, they'll pass it off as a PBX problem unless you can prove definitively otherwise.

    This actually has been discussed quite a bit in forums over the last few weeks. And the bug, expanding the virtual disk and CBT affects more than embedded systems. Started, I think, on Reddit, then discussed by Veeam, noticed on The Register, and brought over to SW.

    So do you direct your users to the site where the RemoteApp gets published to use to connect to it, or do you put a shortcut on their desktops for the RemoteApp as well? I'm assuming there is no difference in functionality but don't really know at this point.

    I push a shortcut. You cannot trust users to find anything via direction.

    @thanksaj Problem is, they're a school district with little, if any, funding for IT. Backups are always an afterthought.

    What they need to see is that whatever budget there is, is the budget. Skipping backup planning is like taking the budget and spending it on things they can't afford. It's the business equivalent of knowing you have to pay rent for the month AND pay for food but going out to eat every night and not being able to make rent and then saying "meh, who needs shelter, it's not like the weather ever gets bad."

    It's called a budget for a reason. They need to take the money that they have and figure out what they can do with it. If there isn't money for backups, there isn't money for anything. What's really happening is that they blew the budget and hoped that they wouldn't get caught.

    Does anyone have experience with the rocket dishes? Or any other comparable hardware?

    I worked for a company that used the old Cisco Areo (sp?) 1400 or some model like that back in 2007 to point to point two sites. Not sure when they originally installed them, but they worked well over about 3 miles.
