good sunday morning to you all. blue skies & sunshine.
expecting something around 26 degrees C for the 25th.Nice
, much better than us over here. We’re expecting around 40C
Most of the fall here felt more like the middle of winter, then on the first full day of winter we got something like 50mm of rain and 10 degrees C.....
Tourtiere, cipate, broccoli salad and potatoes... All washed down with some Alexander Keith's. Let the holiday meals begin!

Yep just tried it on a win7 vm, Kaspersky goes nuts lol...
Annoying will have to exclude manually.
I seem to hit something similar with Trend but it doesn't give any warnings or logs that I could find, just allows the install to continue but it sits broken and unusable

Speaking of Windows Updates. I literally just found my first Windows 10 machine that successfully detected 1809 and attempted to update. No word yet if it will be successful. But this is the VERY FIRST time that I've not had to use the media creation tool to get it to recognize that 1809 exists.
Also speaking of updates.
FFS
Basically they just stated outright... Windows 10 isn't ready for production use. Which we knew, but they've made it official.
Yeah, there was something on theregister or slashdot in the past couple of weeks about this. Makes me VERY happy that a) We're running WSUS at work to control this garbage and b) that I'm not the WSUS admin

Would a Raspberry Pi have enough power for your needs?
Bigger than necessary.
Depends on the content that he might want to show in the browser... I've got one setup with Rasbian and the experience is sub-par.... but come to think of it it's a Pi2 so a Pi 3 might be up to the task

Is there a way to point devices on the LAN to the LAN address instead of the external address?
FFS, we just had this conversation in your other thread.
You use an internal based DNS name. for clients that are only ever in the office.
This prevernt you from having to add your public domain to your internal DNS.
Sorry, I see this as a slightly different thing. I do have external access now, and I would like users who may be out of the office to prefer internal when available. This is probably not a big deal though, no need to get your panties in a bunch
The only way to get internal clients to use different DNS than public clients is to have an internal DNS Zone that is the same name as your external public DNS name. But doing it that way means you need to copy over all public DNS records to your internal DNS zone now except now you will point hosts names to internal IP addresses for those you want
yeah, if that is the case, I will keep it simple and just run external full time.
That’s not how that works
I am not sure what you are saying. If I do nothing, then users are going to be looking at the external domain and can access it that way as the default. I dont have to point it to the internal name.

Thats a Dell convertable laptop flipped to tent mode.
How do you like it?
I have one as well - maybe different model - but it has served me well thus far. Though I don't use it as a tablet or in tent mode often.
We've recently deployed about 25 to our sales staff and have had 3 MB replacements in the past 4 mths... and nobody's got any love for the USB-C docks.... really wishing that they had continued the E-series docking system
@scottalanmiller My at-home workspace has been relegated to the machine room with the air-handler, hot-water tank, deep-freeze and all the misc crap that a family of 4 accumulates....
@DustinB3403 said in Softphones - calling queues:
Yeah, for sure. If you pooch the launch users are extra-resistant to anything else related to it
@DustinB3403 SfB can be setup to automatically forward calls to a given number if their SfB is unavailable. Other option to consider is having them use the SfB app on their cell. Similar user experience to most modern cell diallers and keeps the calls within the company's control
@scottalanmiller Taking over the dining room table this close to the holidays? Brave or foolish :winking_face:
@Donahue Internal DNS records are your friend
From an IT Pro perspective the problems with Win 10 generally seem to be that they've pooched many many updates and a lot of the scripting / automation that was working wonderfully in Win 7 appears to have been broken for no good reason.
Coffee #2.
Heading into 2 weeks vacation as of 4pm.... although vacation with family isn't quite the same.... Holiday family suppers start tomorrow night at the mother-in-law's
Really not looking to start a flame-war, but instead looking to see why folks on here use specific distros.
Personally I've slacked off (see the pun?) on distro hopping and pretty much stick to Linux Mint with the Cinnamon DE for desktop / laptop use and am moving most of our servers at work to Ubuntu 18.04 (from pure Debian) due to support / availability of dependencies without having to get into 3rd party repos (php 7.2 is available out of the box on 18.04) as well as Canonical's recent declaration of 10 years of support for 18.04.
How about you?
@DustinB3403 fixed the link... this is why I love tab completion on the cli
May be already on here, and not IT-specific but:
