      $7 per user per month is a trivial marginal cost for the US and EMEA. The real question is if they will do regional based pricing or discounts (A $3 China or India subscription).

      That's a tough one these days. It would easily make you start buying in cheaper locales.

      Well licensing can prevent you from using cheap licenses in expensive areas.. so you'd have to move your workers.

      It CAN, but not without often crippling mobility.

      I don't buy this. If you can afford to send your employee from a cheep workzone to an expensive one, you can afford to pay $7/m instead of $3.

      Can afford versus will afford aren't the same. Sure, it's only $4, but it's about mobile workers choosing the source of their machines.

      Again that will come down to the cost of training and software dev to move them to a platform that doesn't have this issue.

      or just buying in places where the cost is drastically lower.

      @nerdydad - Yes, you do get a skimped down version of Azure AD with the O365 license. The prerequisites mention using Azure AD, but don't say which one, except where they say that the Premium version is optional for auto enrollment with intune. Although, they have several plans/tiers, including 2 premium tiers.

      @nerdydad It can't, but it's been a proposed enhancement for awhile now. You could share the file and link it in the calendar event description, but it's really, really ugly and not very useful.

      That is unfortunate. Are there other alternatives that will do the same thing?

      Not as far as I know, at least within Nextcloud

      @nerdydad That's not for the user. That's for the admin who then delivers that via whatever management solution they use.

      Quick Access/Favorites can be Group Policy managed so all or some domain members can get it easily.

      For external users it's a two step process to send them a shortcut and they know how to log on from there.

      There are 4 RDP servers, brokered together for our ERP system, along with all of the off-chutes that some users will have with some other servers for whatever reason, plus their desktop, for 130 users.

      I find the most difficult part of managing an RDP farm is getting the apps themselves to play nicely. I've only had a couple of apps that just flat out refused to work correctly.

      Since this is all virtualized, I'll just take one server, sysprep it, shut it down, and then just clone it. Apps are all the exact same. The only thing that needs to change are the UUID's and the database.

      Funny enough, I saw this setting for the first time in years just this morning! Yes, as B3D says, it's called "Always BCC Myself" and it had to have been selected manually by the exec in question.

      Why do I find that not at all surprising that it would have to manually be set?

      That's a good thing. It's a good setting, but you'd not want it for most people.

      I submitted too fast and didn't finish my thought. I meant more so that it would be manually set and the exec wouldn't remember that he did it.

      Oh he remembers, he's just not admitting it, most likely.

      @dustinb3403 said in Migrate database from Hyper-V to VMware:

      Instead, standing up a new installation with a fresh MS SQL waiting for a database and attaching the backup to the database means you don't have to worry about any wonkiness that might occur due to the conversion from Hyper-V to VMWare.

      This has issues of its own to deal with. Because there are a lot of ancillary bits to most MS SQL (or any SQL really) deployments that are not part of a database backup.

      Yeah while true, anyone who is setting up this database system should be able to account for these issues as they are a part of the "installation process".

      Actually, no. Because these types of things are usually, setup once 5 years ago with vendor support, type scenarios.

      Rather than some random bug or crash due to a registry entry that decided to go haywire in the middle of a production day.

      It is a V2V, nothing is happening in production.

      I like to lean on the "you have support for your production systems, right?!" argument. . . .

      And it would be production if it was powered on and running for a while with entries being written etc that are no longer on the hyper-v installation.

      I've seen weirdness (Hyper-v 2008 specifically) that VM's migrated had a lot of remanent hyper-v drivers and registry entries that have caused issues.

      Are you saying you've not seen these?

      Hyper-V 2008 was a horrible platform. Everyone knows it.

      LOL I read this line in my favorite Donald Trump voice.

      That makes it so much better.

      My boss does.

      So until you can show us what you are talking about, please answer this...

      Why does he? As I illustrated in a prior post anyone can spam anything all day long. Why does he care about these bad accounts?

      Yes, and arent these reports detailing hundreds or thousands of bad email addresses/day? Seems like they would be. If i received this report it would have tens of thousands of bad address bounce messages every single day.
      In a large org i imagine it would be many millions.

      Easily, for sure.

      Have a MS Windows Server 2016 Datacenter that won't activate. I have tried GUI in system properties and settings and have tried DISM. Ran for updates and all patched up. Tried activation again, and not working. Anybody have any ideas?

      What's the error you get?

      Typically it was that it can't upgrade the server to that licensing because it was already there.

      Have you tried activating using Windows Software Licensing Management Tool?

      I didn't know this existed, but will hold on to it for the future. Thanks.

      I've never liked how limiting Weebly is. I realize you want to do this for as little as possible but a Vultr instance at $2.50 per month is nearly free. You can setup your own WordPress install for free and get setup properly right from the start.

      You'll notice performance issues in an instance that small unless you aren't backing your site with a database.

      Either way, its better than what I have now. Its not fully loading on weebly.

      Most web hosting plans allow unlimited domains and such, so I'm sure someone here can help out. I seen someone above offer. Anything will be better than weebly

      In theory, as an IPOD, it might need zero.

      in the very first post he said:
      10k disk for VM OS
      15k or SSD for SQL drives (RAID1 is an option, but RAID10 would be preferred). I'm sure RAID5 under SSD would possibly be acceptable.

      So that made me think local storage.

      Maybe I misunderstood, I thought that that was on the SAN.

      Nope. On the hosts. Local Storage. There is some DAS equipment currently connected but that is more for archiving and backups. That's it.

      Oh, ok. I'm so confused then, lol.
