      Exchange 2016 needs to mature
      https://oddytee.wordpress.com/2016/08/16/outlook-client-does-not-connect-to-mailbox-on-exchange-2016/
      This is still happening 3 years later! with the latest CU

      Seems like a fruitless thing to wish for after all of this time.

      Well, it should mature because if Exchange 2019 has this issue, is lame.

        By the time 2019 is EoL'd it'll get fixed.

              Wondering if I hate WordPress or I hate web developers with no idea. Maybe neither, maybe both, I don't know

                More the web developers with no idea. Of course that implies both.

                  Is it WP that you do not like, or plugins or themes or some other additional component?

                    Incomplete list in no special order

                    Wordpress:

                    1. If you update WordPress you risk breaking the site.
                    2. If you don't, you risk being hacked.
                    3. It is too big that the ecosystem is out of control.

                    Web developers with no idea:
                    4. They demand cPanel access. And the clients authorize that access (out of my pay grade)
                    5. The mess with DNS, really, why?
                    6. They choose poor plugins

                    About points 1 &2: Theory says WordPress is secure but plugins maybe not. So the problem is not WordPress and the solution is to choose good plugins. WordPress is so easy to use that point 3 is on spot. And then I fall on point 6 because everybody can be a WordPress developer/web master. Talk about Catch 22

                    Right now, I have a production web site down because the web developer insists on using a plugin that breaks the site. I already disabled the plugin twice.

                    Perhaps I am in the wrong industry, it is just that fell in love IT at first sight

                        Same here, they seem to be really good. Way, way better than, say, Windows. They "just work". I've been using WordPress for a really long time and support a lot of sites.

                          Web developers tend to know how to do things, web designers tend to be utterly incompetent with programming and write terrible code regardless of how pretty their sites are, they also choose to use WordPress which is worthy of any hate you throw at it. There's also dumb web developers, but most of them just work for major corporations.

                            I hate WordPress but I've always praised both their reverse compatibility and their slow crawl toward proper design showing they at least, I think, have some understanding of how bad it is.

                              This happens from time to time when some project I worked on is handed over to some new guy, they often are baffled by the concept of "I use SSH, I don't install anything on the server not needed, it's just Apache, PHP, and MySQL, and SSH" or whatever.

                                I have not been that lucky lately. Specially since I am upgrading from PHP 5.6 to 7.2, some plugins just break, although in most cases it is because the plugin is old and has not been updated by the developer.
                                Anyway, the current case is not a PHP upgrade

                                      Plugins breaking is not at all the same as WP breaking. Is WP breaking?

                                        Absolutely. I am slowly "forcing" the move from cPanel to Linux without a control Panel. So far, the sites moved are working very well

                                            Spent a busy day digging deep into this Asterisk to FreePBX migration. Migrated all of the extensions. Total count 946 or something like that.

                                            Setup 3 phones to test EPM. They have old Aastra 6737i phones. Mitel bought Aastra ages ago.

                                            The entire thing has to be turned into a scripted process before I can even run a limited go live test.

                                            The extensions were the easy part.
