@notverypunny Users are the ones with the limit up to 10 but admins do not have a limit.

@IRJ That's awesome.

@dafyre Looking a lot like an SMBv1 issue but what are you getting as errors or warnings.

Having the server do the routing seems weird in this case, maybe your firewall/router can do this without the need of the server. Otherwise maybe a layer 3 switch.

@scottalanmiller said in Forum Posting Etiquette:

that thing where they break up a wall of text in one post and reply to sections. It's the best of both worlds. Example:

I hate to post too many answers and going through each answer. It just makes it harder to follow. Already a whole paragraph to respond and now we need to answer in four different posts. That is just insane for the followup that comes after it.

@Mario-Jakovina said in Resentment to Purchasing Software - Split From Unrelated Topic on IT Professionals:

In our case, we still use old MS Office 2010. We do not have troubles with it. We don't pay for it monthly. We can buy additional licenses for 50 EUR (used, we're in EU). Also we can't replace it with LibreOffice without huge costs (macros...)

Well, that is also bad IT practice. The software is not longer supported, doesn't have any further security updates. The fact it has worked is great but the major Windows 10 Updates since 1703 with Office 2010 have been a pain.

You will still need to buy IT labor to run it, but alot less labor than separate custom solutions and a somewhat predictable monthly bill for service and labor.

Sure, that later stage of the IT. But it takes way more IT skill and experience to evaluate products, services, approaches, alignment with needs, etc. than to operate a product. Especially one like O365 where there is loads of documentation and often SaaS behind the scenes doing a lot of the hard stuff.

To properly compare and think about costs, long term labor, lock in, formats, end user support, and all of the kinds of things that we have discussed... all of that should be stuff being considered before choices are made. And honestly, understanding it and putting it all together is much, much harder than logging into O365 and provisioning some users. That why one piece is a senior IT role and the other is often a helpdesk one (assuming helpdesk is roughly entry level in the org.)

This is what my original thread was about. Not outsourcing products or buying products. But rather making the decision of what to buy and/or do vs buying the decision of what to them buy and/or do.

So are you saying that for each customer you have you wan to manage their NextCloud instance, all their Linux machines and the syncing issues that might arise and not even counting the countless issues I encounter with people working with Libre Office or OpenOffice and their Java dependency.

So if you wanted to have an efficient setup you would use Office 365 to take care of the documents in Sharepoint (Centralized File Server if you would like to compare), Give the users their own One Drive with both Web and Local Office software and you wouldn't touch the server or the clients for updates unless they disable it. That would have also included OneNote to take notes, Teams to collaborate and so many other options. So That in itself makes a company spend less and actually if you want to do IT work for Microsoft or another cloud vendor and just do what you call "IT" Then go for it but lets not pretend that hosting your systems is cheaper and less problematic.

@scottalanmiller I mean the fact that your customers use Avimark and that it is so far a horrible software tells me that you are willing to deal with this anyway so no more from me.

@scottalanmiller All I am trying to get to is that if the tech said that you contact them again and as for a manager or supervisor and check the facts with them. I am not defending the vendor or the tech. This is what I would have done knowing what are the recommendations regardless of what the tech tells me.

1- It only deletes the individual message they received.
2- The only tool is to do a E-discovery search for email sent to this Group and then exporting that to a PST.
3- Yes, 50 GB is the maximum storage for an Office 365 Business Basic and Standard

You might want to setup an archiving addon for that mailbox or bump the license to E3 so they get 100 GB of Mailbox storage and then archiving is included as well.
4- YOu can setup a retention policy that deletes all items that is 2 years old and then apply to the mailbox and force the Retention Policy to apply then it will take a day or so but it will run faster.

1. Not sure if you misunderstood. I got confirmed that deleting any emails on Group Mailbox won't any member's mailbox items.
2. Yes, did it that way, went well.
3. Yeah, not an option for me now.
4. Seems nice and faster action, than PowerShell commands Microsoft guys running.

I wrote the answer 1 in a confusing way. The emails don't get deleted from each user mailbox that received it so no issue there.

Aby web filtering going on?

@dbeato said in US Based Sonicwall Support:

Sonicwall has a default of 30 Seconds UDP Timeout

What do you set this to?

I set it to 300 and some up to 600 depending,.

I use the NanoStations and they work well

Have you checked Azure AD logs or the account for any strange activity?

I haven't done that in a long time however Let's Encrypt do check for it so it would matter if you have it implemented ahead of using Let's Encrypt.

@scottalanmiller said in Migrating site from UNMS CK to UNMS:

Unifi gear has a simple import/export option on a site by site basis.

And if you do that process under control with all things online, it tells the devices how to find the new UniFi controller as part of it.

It is a very good process.

can you expand upon that?

In Unifi you can export your site, and import it into other unifi controllers.

What I don't know is if you can export your unifi site from an on-prem controller into a UNMS environment.

You cannot.

I will check as soon as I can and let you know.
