@Dashrender People simply didn't want to have their handset taken away and replaced with a headset. This org was not a call center by any means.

oh.. OK yeah, we're going to have a bit of hard times around here for the same reasons... but I expect many will like the new freedom they'll have to work from anywhere in the building, not tied to a specific desk. But time will tell...

Yeah I tried to get my management team at the time to perform a survey of the options, eventually they did, and something like 98% of respondents said they wanted a handset (and not a headset).

Of course, they all got headsets anyways. This was also on Microsoft SfB exclusively for the phone. Only conference rooms and private offices/reception had actual phones.

Now you'd be using MS Teams if that was your provider.

I think ALL of mine asked for headsets.

Yeah but different use case from your standpoint and the org I was at. The only people who may need a headset with where I was, truly would've been reception.

Most other people use their cellphones (before any change) or a proper desk phone. The learning curve of "answer" your computer when it rings is what through people for loops.

For a soft phone approach, any USB headset would work. We previously deployed Logitech H390's out (because of cost). They work, but no one likes them.

ppens.
I cannot get it put back to the normal location.

I'm assuming this is for the OneDrive app, there is a registry fix for it which supposedly can be run from here.

Umm this is today... Thanks for the short notice. Now I gotta put a shirt on!

Thanks a ton @manxam!

This is the final working regex that was used for anyone else who may ever need this.

grep -ri -E '.+?(Windows Server.+)' -B7 source.txt > regex.txt

Just spitballing again, but what about grep with -A# and -B# and a regex of .+?(Server.+)
A# stands for n lines "after" the match.
B# stands for m lines "before" the match.

Using grep -rni -E '.+?(Server.+)' -B1 should capture

That I can at least work with, with relative ease. Still not perfect, but way better than the full details I was working with.
