I have a Meraki MX90 behind a Ubnt EdgeRouter. The Meraki has a public IP on the WAN side so I figured the EdgeRouter didn't have NAT turned on. How ever when I go to NAT, I have the default "masquerade to eth0" rule. (eth0 is my WAN port)
show nat rules
returns the default
MASQ eth0 saddr ANY to xx.213.214.137
rule. Any ideas as to how traffic can be getting through un-NATed? What else should I be looking for?
Colleges are more expensive now because no one is holding them accountable to their value. Look at the cost difference between community college and some private 4 year schools. College can be done for less, but their is no motivation on the part of private schools to do it.
Imagine if they didn't have endless streams of unsecured loans that can never be defaulted on. They would look at each student and figure out the earning potential of the student and then decide if they would be able to pay back the loan. That would be a game changer.
I think the important thing here is that no one is doing these calculations. Students aren't doing them for themselves, and guidance counselors certainly aren't doing them. It's almost criminal. Guidance counselors simply cite that "you'll earn more over time with a degree" and try to get the student in to the most prestigious college they can. High Schools keep track of how many of their graduates are going on to university and it's a feather in your cap if you're doing better than average.
We need to work with young people and support initiatives like Mike Rowe's :

@gjacobse It would work if he remembered to close his file at the office and no one else was using it. If he doesn't close the file at home or at the office, he's stuck. Also if he brings in any seasonal help and tried to access the file from home while someone at the office had it open, that would be bad.
Does anyone have any good experiences running QuickBooks on any cloud platform? I have an accountant moving to a new office and I'm questioning the need for a server for what I understand is a one man shop. I'm thinking of going Office 365 and putting his QuickBooks databases in a folder that gets backed up with OneDrive.
The problem is if he wants to access Quickbooks from outside the office, OneDrive won't work for that. So then I was thinking about some sort of hosted option. Does anyone have any experience with hosted QuickBooks? (good or bad) From what I have read, QuickBooks online is out because it doesn't work like the full version he is used to.
Maybe a case study on a Ubiquiti wireless AP roll out. I did one with remote sites, VLANs, Windows NPS, certs pushed through group policy, etc that would probably take an hour to go over.
@scottalanmiller said in Networking breakout at MangoCon:
I wonder if the topic is a bit too basic for the core audience. It sounds like it would be great for a SWorld topic, but the MC audience is pretty technical. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's my gut feel on it. Because the audience is pretty small, it leans towards the more technical side of even ML in general.
I was guessing that the ML crowd would be a bit more technical. I didn't know how many people would show up that lean on their MSP to do all that stuff and are technical in other areas.
If it were networking 102, what could I do in an hour session?
I volunteered to do a networking breakout at MangoCon. My intended audience is the person that doesn’t really understand the pieces necessary to have a functioning network. I’m thinking I should cover gateway/router/firewall, managed vs unmanaged switches, wireless, DHCP, and (D)DNS. Then go over the classic “the internet is down” and how to troubleshoot all those things to figure out where the problem is.
I think that will fit in the hour session and help out IT people that are a little fuzzy on those things. What do you think?

Thank you for all the responses. I understood what was meant.
If two different agencies are using Office 365 can they send client information back an fourth? Office 365 says that it's HIPAA compliant, so if the information stays in their cloud, is it covered?
@Dashrender If the user is an admin, I get disconnect, shut down, restart, non admins get disconnect.
I confirmed it's applied now, and still it ignores the setting.
@Dashrender nice catch. The policy isn't applying at all....
I set up a new Server 2012R2 Remote Desktop Server and when the users press the power button, the only option is "Disconnect". I want to set it to "Sign out". (Which is currently available when the click their name.) 
I changed the setting in group policy, but it seems to be ignored.
I though maybe the group policy .admx needed to be updated to support Server 2012R2, so I downloaded the Windows 10 policy and tried that. I didn't see any difference.
Any ideas?

@Dashrender said in Lotus Notes to Microsoft Access:
But, I thought it was the general consensus here to not ever use Access if possible, use other more enterprise tools like mySQL and something for a front end?
The development cost would never be worth it. No matter what @scottalanmiller says.
I hate Access with a passion. I firmly believe it needs to die in a fire along with Faxing.
That said Base or Access are the absolute right tool for this job.
They have Access already installed and I'm willing to install Base on each computer just for this. I should probably add this is just a legacy system that is read only, so it's not going to grow and use over time will decline.
Outlook Archives? you mean what some people call .pst files? It's not email messages in the database. It's a database of old articles. Pretty basic files such as date, author, body, etc. Being purely text and getting up to 300MB each, it's a lot of records. More than Excel could hold. That was my first attempt.
The client doesn't really care what the front end is. The UI isn't anything fancy as it is and there are only 3 people in one office that actually use it anymore. They just don't want to lose access to the data when we shutdown the Lotus Notes server. I'd rather stay away from something like a LAMP setup because then I would have to support an entire server. I'd much rather have it sitting as a file on their Windows server. It doesn't even have to be multiuser.
I have two .nsf files about 300MB each with text in them. (It might be formatted, but no images or attachments) that I need converted to Microsoft Access or Open Database.
