Looking over the thread Additional 2012r2 License Question Has me thinking of how I need to move forward to clean up this mess of a 'network'.

We won't have the need for Exchange with running O365, so mainly I will only need AD, File&Print services, and 2 SQL system and a app that is really Access DB - and backup services.

With that in mind, Is a single box (well built) box) with 2 VMs adequate for what I need? or should I spring for 4 VMs? My main concern and focus is getting AD with F&P going so I can move everything over and deal with some security issues, and retire some equipment.

Additionally, we have offices in 10 counties now. Which means quite a bit of upgraded hardware (Currently lots of WinXP) needed. Could I go ThinClient and host all of the apps (Office, files etc) here?

I've heard Thin Clients is kind of dead. Maybe I heard wrong but VDI is more what people are doing now. In any case...
One server for AD AND F&P would be fine. When you say spring for 2v4 VMs, are you talking about Windows Server licensing? Why use Hyper-V? Use VMware. However, that being said, if you do use Hyper-V, spring to have up to 4 VMs so that you have room to grow, should you need it. Maybe it's wasted, but the wiggle room is never bad to have.

Biscotti is already plural

I was speaking of a restaurant, not an item. Lol

Hey all,

I have an Avaya 9641G phone that I'm using with an EHS and Savi W730-M. The issue I'm running into is that the headset seems to have a mind of its own. Yesterday, I spent half an hour trying to get the headset to register a dial tone. The speakerphone worked always but the headset just would not connect. The Hookswitch setting is set correctly on the phone. But no matter what I did, it would not transfer that dialtone to the headset. I come in today, ready to call Plantronics. However, I hit the headset button on either the Savi base or the phone, or press the call button on the headset itself, and it just works. I've done it at least a dozen times in disbelief. Nothing has changed, to my knowledge. Any ideas?

Thanks,
A.J.

normally no - but last night I did for updates.

Is the dongle plugged into the front or the back of the computer?

Are you suggesting that we call ML members "fruit tarts"? Just trying to follow the conversation...

Well, it's kinda funny, and it fits the theme. I think it could work.

Stupid question, but have you changed the batteries. Every time I've ever had sporadic typing or movement, it just meant the batteries were getting weak.

Boy I missed a lot getting here late today!!

Yup. Been a busy day!

@JaredBusch said:

looks like HP closed the case without responding to my guy's last question

very poor process there.

I spoke to Priscilla (by email) today in fact. I can do a hand-off with you to her if you'd like. They shouldn't have just closed the case without any interaction.

Tarts? That sounds promising.

Kind of a whim thing. You like that?

I have not contacted them yet today, because I was waiting to see how the Gestetner performed. I am composing an email now.

I can get you Priscilla@HP's info if you want to reach out to someone who might be able to light a fire. If you need it.

The Gestetner pictured above has been in use all day today at the branch office that has it. It has not failed once.

The users have intermittently tried the HP all day also. It has worked 1 time.

Does HP support have no other suggestions?

The extrovert in me is loving this!

Is there a reason they can't scan to FTP? At least in the interim?

Because, users.

Scan to network folder has worked fine this entire time.

I can get down with this problem. I have scan to issues all the time. though usually it's scan to folder with canon ir10xx series MFCs that I have problems with.

You've done your due diligence here for sure. you've checked your exchange logs to see if that's what's killing the sends? maybe "too much data" from a certain address? any exchange updates/patches in the recent past?

That's a good point. How many pages are they trying to scan? Although if you can't even establish a test connection, that's a moot point...hmm....

@Reid-Cooper said:

@ajstringham yeah, it is like a continuous conversation rather than "oh hey, someone posted."

Exactly! It's really cool!

So basically they are just lazy? It's not freaking hard! Heck, if you must, map network drives via GPO for them. Done.
