@scottalanmiller No. 2,000ft and 6 loudspeakers.

@JasGot section 110(5) of the copyright act has an allowance for this office.

Had a customer call and ask us to come and setup 10 Sonos speakers for their office. They said they picked them up because their overhead system was static-ee.

I assured them this was the wrong approach because commercial amps with 70v speakers don't just go bad all at once. It had to be FM reception.

It was. But they really wanted the Sonos so they could stream music. I told them this was silly because they already had a beautful sound system in place. They just needed a new source.

I installed a Nexum Tunebox2 https://www.nexum-design.com/tunebox2 for them and I have to say, it is truly sweet.

Use any smart device or PC or MAC to tell it what to stream, and then you can disconnect and it will sing forever. Of course it'll do other things too. But set and forget was the goal.

Just thought I'd share about this little box. $64 on amazon.

Me too. I script everything.

@Dashrender I left this out earlier for fear he would say I was conflating....

Here's our push for power-on for dell PCs, we push it with GPO, or ScreenConnect, or drop it in the startup folder with a script that uses an admin$ share. Most bios mfrs have a utility for editing bios remotely.

It sets it up the way we want, and if someone changes it, it auto re-applies at the next boot.

\\server\netlogon\cctk\x86_64\cctk --autoon=everyday --valsetuppwd= -l=c:\pc.log
\\server\netlogon\cctk\x86_64\cctk --autoonhr=22 --valsetuppwd= -l=c:\pc.log
\\server\netlogon\cctk\x86_64\cctk --autoonmn=0 --valsetuppwd= -l=c:\pc.log

@JaredBusch How so?

@Dashrender said in Taking over IT for a small business:

In this customer's - from a power POV, I could easily designate a single machine as an always on machine for this purpose

I always set one or more machines to power on at 10:00pm (bios)
One if they prefer not to leave them on, then I use WoL to power the others up when I need to (updates).

All if they don't have a preference and it's a small office.

@Dashrender Too bad you can't just email it to yourself!

@Dashrender said in Can't move Stream_Autocomplete.:

Here's a post about it https://www.msoutlook.info/question/844

Thanks. I read that earlier today. Did you see this "However, an exception exists for the Stream_AutoComple_* file." It's the gotcha!

I have Office 365 installed running Office 2016? (Whatever that means!. Icon says 2016 but splash screen says 365)

We moved from in-house exchange to hosted Exchange 2016.

I need to move the Stream_Autocomplete.... to the new profile.

If I do a regular copy and rename, outlook deletes the file at the next opening and then creates a new file with a new name.

If I use NK2Edit, it complains that it can only ready 16 of the 501 records in the file.

The file is not corrupt, I have confirmed this on the in-house exchange.

Does Outlook 365 handle these Streams differently than they have since 2010?

I'm stumped because this is just too easy in most cases.
