I'm just popping in here. Looks ultra simple and just about all figured out. Glad I could help.

I used to drive a mustang when I was younger.

Was it a fox-body (aka: glorified Escort)?

@Grey Pontiac is dead? that does look cool, though i think id rather have new go parts underneath the classic 70's trans am body panels

These are Camaros if I recall correctly. They just have paint, body work, and some tuning.

Yup, same frame.

Same platform. Frames under cars went the way of the dodo in the early 70's.

I'm sorry. I had Firebirds.

How do you propose getting a Level 3 or 4 DC from a retrofit?

Well, at least from a power redundancy standpoint, I'd assume most large malls or factories are already outfitted with backup systems, so it'd be easy to utilize or upgrade the existing stuff they got there. Physical security might be a different story.

If it used to be a mall, there are likely unemployed mall cops on the job market...

The funny thing is that Bumblebee was a VW Beetle originally. Since the first Transformers movie was basically a paid ad for GM, I guess that wasn't going to fly.

Well, let's be honest here, Transformers was never anything other than a marketing vehicle. (pun intended)

If you're referring to the movies, I'll go for that.

Only the movies? In the US market, the original cartoon was also a vehicle for selling toys... so the whole franchise has always been that way.

Good point. I didn't have any, so I just didn't think about it that way.

That's when they break. Been there.

for @art_of_shred

When that Mustang resides in your driveway, then we can discuss this like men.

I'm not talking to @texkonc anymore.

This whole thing is not about finding an email server; it's about finding a suitable email application, as Outlook is not sufficient.

Testing a Symantec Backup EXEC restore.
Lets see what happens

They are great on backups, but there is a reason that it is not called RestoreExec

Precisely.

My dentist called and is going to be closed tomorrow due to inclement weather. The next available appointment in March 1st. I can't even articulate how angry I am right now. My face is actually red with anger. The last time I went there they wasted an entire vacation day and literally did nothing for me. I'm not going to wait anymore.

Time for a new dentist?

Their part is supported. The software vendor is not responsible for the support of another piece of the puzzle. You, as the administrator, may look at the entire process as unsupported (and be correct), since the vertical stack is not supported top to bottom. However, that doesn't mean that the vendor doesn't support their software within the parameters that they define (related to the OS, in this case).

Did it work?

Not confirmed yet, but I'll post when I know.

Thanks

From what I can tell, yes it worked. That's both the no sleep and no login password required.

The entire 5th floor here smells like paint thinner or some other kind of solvent. If my later posts don't make sense, don't worry - it's just the bain drammage.

But most of your posts make sense at least marginally... I'm slightly confused.

I'm a little confused too, but it's just the fumes in here.

I was more saying ... oh, nevermind.

In that file you should see this:

# AutomaticLoginEnabled = true
# AutomaticLogin = user

Just remove the hashtags from the beginning of those two lines to uncomment them.

  AutomaticLoginEnable = true
  AutomaticLogin = user1
