Friends visiting us for Christmas, its cooking time!

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year all.

Is this direct IBM or someone else? I can't believe that they couldn't get you the required stuffs for interview!

Congrats!

Few feedback on the site that i thought you might want to check:

Just checked the site and the text "Americans have been effected by Hacking in 2016" is it not affected instead of effected?

Under meet our team, your profile has the cert id but not the other guys, if you ask me, its good to have consistency on both of your profile details, either you add the ids for him or remove it from yours as well.

Now its time for my webroot subscription to be renewed, thanks @Nic for the free license last year. I would like to stick around with Webroot, just wondering if there are any discounts on webroot for ML users?

I am working on creating a video series about O365 (covering almost everything on O365 like Intune, Azure AD, Hybrid AD, Conditional Access and more) More of a journal of what I learn to share with the community as well.

I am still on the beginner stage on video editing, so would really appreciate your feedback before I release the videos to the general public.

Starting with my first video here:

Back in the Philippines, my brother in law is revamping his internet cafe and I would like to offer some help when I visit them this October.

Just wanted to get some nice ideas on improvements we could have. Currently they have few computers and printer, pcs have some games (not very high end I believe).

Main concern is to do the whole setup in a cost effective way without compromising on the quality of service.

Few things came up on my search are:

• Diskless setup

One case about the product in the PH http://www.ccboot.com/successful-case-in-philippines-cyber-cafe.htm

But not sure if diskless setup is the way to go. For sure we need to have a good setup, which can restore the whole settings back on a reboot to avoid issues. At the same time give the users good speed machines for them to get engaged and visit back.

• getting some gaming account like steam. This can make sure that we offer latest games, may be conduct some monthly tournaments, give away prizes as membership discounts/free hours etc.

• May be add a gaming console as well, its cheap here to get one.

• Some kind of automated billing system- I am still looking at some solutions-

• A wifi hotspot

Hi all,

Really busy days, that i dont get enough time to check ML, and missing quite a lot i guess

One of my projects was to setup a 3 tier SharePoint farm, and found a scripted way of setting it up, much faster and automated than the traditional way of manual installation and seems like its pretty famous in the SP world.

https://autospinstaller.com/

Very straight forward 3 step process; Create AD accounts for SharePoint, use the online "Build a Farm" form to fill all required information like server names, service accounts details, password, mysite, portal etc and then download the script along with the xml file from the form and run it either from a central location or on each server depending on your installation. Spend a good 1 hour to fully understand the whole form and that's it, sit back and the script will do the rest. Prerequisite also includes that you already have SQL server installed and configured.

Just saw this chatbot Murphy from Microsoft. You can add this bot to skype, slack etc and ask "what if" questions.

I tried and below are the results!

There must be some level of manual work involved, but i would suggest you check Sharegate, its a very good tool that can do most of the heavy lifting, gives you an option to add Meta Data to an excel sheet during the migration process, you can add meta data and migrate.
http://en.share-gate.com/migrate-file-shares-to-sharepoint

Check Sharegate blog topics as well, as they are well written and covers most topics on Sharepoint whether its Online/on premise. One good page is http://en.share-gate.com/blog?category=sharepoint-migration
Good luck.

Reaching out to ML for helping one of my friends who is struggling to keep her job.

This is posted by her daughter:
"To summarise, my mom has just been dragged in the situation but her intention is to just help her brother cope up. She needs to pay the amount to get her passport back, and get renewed of a visa and stay in her current work and in UAE. She is a single mom raising 2 kids. It would be so bad if she lose her job in the UAE and arrange a way back to Philippines."
