      @Carnival-Boy said in SAMIT: Should You Provide Equipment for Work from Home Staff?:

      From that, you've drawn a huge number of untrue assumptions, such as I'm not really IT,

      Where did I draw that conclusion? I asked you if you were and you've not said one way or the other. That's all. Repeating that you work for an ISV, whatever that means to you, in no way whatsoever answers the question. Just because an ISV is in no way an IT organization doesn't mean that they don't hire some IT staff internally. I feel like you are saying it to try to tell us you're not in IT, but it doesn't imply that.

      Just like working at McDonald's includes both flipping burgers and being a CIO.

      ISVs tend to have incredibly small IT needs, in general. But they certainly need IT. As someone that's owned an ISV for a very long time, we certainly have IT. But we don't offer IT, we offer software. But developers need IT support too. As do the office staff, etc.

      Check out Fortigate product. FortiNet offers documentation on setup of their firewalls for PCI DSS compliance:
      https://help.fortinet.com/fos60hlp/60/Content/FortiOS/fortigate-compliance/PCI-DSS.htm?Highlight=PCI
      They office a subscription service whereby they manage patches/updates for their firewalls as well as monitoring (specifically, Logging, to me it really isn't monitoring) in order to match the "managed firewall" checkbox. Now, I only have a little experience with Fortigate's as we just installed one in our data center as we have a customer requesting us to be compliant (for no apparent reason other than they want us to be, we do not store credit card data and do any processing via https web site)

      @WrCombs said in Windows 10 Reboots:

      So it was not a windows issue - It was the software running two or more instances of our mobile software at one time after a refresh.
      What was happening was the software would restart, then try to open 2 or more at the same time causing the system to error and restart to try to clear it it's self.
      Made changes to the settings in the system config files and have tested with 3 different refreshes today - It has not rebooted once.
      Thanks for all the help with figuring this one out. I think i've gained a wealth of knowledge from this thread.

      to expand on this - the back office becomes one of the "terminals" as an interface. When the refresh was happening the "back office terminal" was the culprit.

      @scottalanmiller said in Yet another Communication issue....:

      When troubleshooting on the network, always start at the bottom and work up.

      Start with a ping to the IP (not the hostname.)
      Then ping the hostname.
      Then nslookup the hostname.

      These basic steps tell you what is working and what isn't. Don't hop around, use progressive testing and you'll get to answers really quickly.

      That's good advice,
      We usually start with Aloha based issues such as the control service running on Server, any files telling it to stop, that sort of thing.
      Then we move to Windows/networking.

      If you know other things are working, you can move up the "stack" to where you can guarantee success. Like if you are transferring files, you know ping works.

      There is also an "I can't even thread" that is updated regularly. Maybe it is time to add that as its own category.

      Is it supposed to be like the recent updated post? or by when the thread was created?

      Not recent or there would have been an unread post on top.

      Weird. I was trying to add it from my home computer and when I got to work this morning, it was there and had populated it with the feed.

      Dark [feed] Magic

      LOL - I was thinking it was because the link was asp not xml but I guess it didn't matter after all.

      ASP just means that it is a site using MS ASP technology to generate the page, just like PHP, ASPX and others. ASP is a reference to an application platform. What ASP generates as output is text, like HTML or XML.

      ASP, though, was last used around 2002. That's VBScript, most likely.

      Pretty much the same for every kind of remote console, be it on an IBM, Dell or SuperMicro server or on an Aten IP KVM. PITA, big, nasty PITA.

      How many of us have a VM on our workstation just for this? I know I do, and it's hard to get much smaller than we are and still need any IT.

      Yup, using a VM for this. Yet another system to maintain.

      I have a machine or VM (depending on client) running Veeam already so I drop java on that via chocolatey.
