@chrisnbrooks What is SG?

security group

Cannot figure this out. Denying access to GPO using Delegation tab isnt working.
Can someone show me how to do this using WMI?

@wirestyle22 it wasnt me having the issues, i was following the thread.

"some vlan for no reason" Love it!

I am telnetting into a Ricoh all in one to change the SMB client port to 445. Thats what support is telling us to do to fix an auth issue when scanning to a network share. When I run smb at the Ricoh shell prompt I get 'syntax error'. The other commands work fine. I can see smb is a valid command. Its an MP 3351. Rebooted the 3351. Any ideas?

I was curious about my CentOS VM running production owncloud.

Ive been creating Hyper-V snapshots before updating CentOS and ownCloud but want to get a more solid backup procedure in place. Im thinking when the server goes down for whatever reason i dont want to be screwed. I want to backup the OC user accounts first. Can anyone recommend a best practice for backing up user accounts? Files and documents are viewed, downloaded and deleted so I dont a reason to backup any of them at the moment.

Does anyone use Cisco Meraki switches and firewalls? Opinions?

Am I extracting the Nextcloud TAR to /etc/nginx/?
Is that the only difference?

I am used to Apache.

@Jstear That worked when I added WITH GRANT OPTION. Thank you. Ill add this to my notes.

I live near Tampa, FL
Currently use Bright House. Paying $81 a month for 50/5 internet
What are some other good ISP's for home use?
Maybe less expensive than Bright House?

We use software called Phone Tree and the softwares phone dialing device is attached to USB. Problem is its installed on a Hyper-V VM and USB is not available in a VM from what I can see. I called the vendor and they said we would need an Anywhere USB device that will make the software see the dialing device in a virtual environment. Anywhere USB device is about $330. Is this my only option if I want USB available in a VM?

We have had production ownCloud running for a few months and havent had any issues.

Centos 7 VM on Hyper-V

@scottalanmiller So if I am getting FIOS I can use the ER-X instead of the FIOS router supplied by Frontier?

@DustinB3403 Oh no, dont use bait!

On a single laptop, I am able to login with the users previous network password, not her newest password.
When I go to any network location, I am prompted for username\password and have
to use the new password. Why is the laptop allowing me to login with the previous password?

@thwr Me too! Thanks everyone

I am planning to buy a Chromebook. But not to use ChromeOS. I will install a Linux distro onto it. Which brand is recommended? I want a 14 inch screen or larger and I have to choose from Acer or HP? Do I want flash memory or an SSD?

The one I have in mind has an Intel chip which should be ok to install a typical Linux distro. Is that correct?
