  1. I only watch Legends, so I need to collate the missing episodes and create a playlist from the other shows, so I can start watching LoT again!! #firstworldproblems
  2. You can use other SBC's than the list, but they are unsupported, for instance asterisk can be used. there are some guides on the net to do this, which I have tried, but I couldn't get it to register. Cert issues I think, having to have the perfect supported cert!
  3. Rise of Skywalker...not..as..bad..as..the last jedi(small furries dancing on the dashboard springs to mind)..but still a little too disney for my liking
  4. Also, just a couple of caveats, for the SBC and your certificate for the bind, needs to be from a certified MS public cert provider, don't think LetsEncrypt is on the list unfortunately, the list is in the docs. Also, if you don't licence everyone, you basically get a 2 tier system, as people getting a phone call can only involve/transfer to other people with the phone system license, so you can't, for instance, only licence your admin team, and then think they can just transfer to someone without it, that's a no no
  5. £2.25 a user per month to add the phone system add-on, you can also add A5, which includes in and other bits and pieces but that's nearer a tenner per user per month. You can then add the domestic calling plan and be done and sorted, but you are looking at just over £5 per user per month for the 120 minute plan You can then do Direct routing, which involves sip trunks and a certified SBC, either virtual or physical, this can either connect to a normal Sip trunk or any SIP PBX, the TE Systems anyNode virtual SBC, either virtual or Azure comes in at I believe at $990 for 10 sessions or $2750 for 30 sessions, and they do bigger versions too. Ongoing support is 20% of initial per year, first year included. By no means is it a cheap undertaking, but if you are paying circa £15 for a commercial cloud phone system per user per month, it can be a cost saving, with just the SBC hit at the beginning. hope that helps anyone Thanks James

    AADS

    Morning all, Anyone run Azure AD Services? Can anyone give me an indication of cost for doing this? I want to get LDAPS and eventually NPS/RADIUS out of AD, and in these strange times I have time on my hands to battle all these things that should be OOTB. Thanks James
  7. All our DOTs are low-grade magnets which are programmed with a specific, coherent, naturally-occurring frequency, working similarly to the magnetic strip on a bank card. What a load of bobbins!!! and the amount of endorsement from mainstream companies who buy into this blatant placebo effect of a scratch n sniff sticker, beggars belief
  8. I have it running in Ubuntu in a hyper-v VM at work, and my home system runs in Docker on Debian. Fit and forget, both work well
  9. Just started "Tales from the Loop" on Prime, interesting so far. A series based on the paintings of Simon Stålenhag, interesting premise, we shall see
  10. Hmmm, Type 1 here, but bonus daughter's would benefit, my Libre would have a fit!! 222
  11. We had this on newer versions of W10, Go to Settings cog, Privacy, Microphone and allow all apps access with the slider. Privacy by default same for camera's i think
  12. We found it was not a very good way to contact external people, as it was not instant add, and was generally a kludge to get it working. We just issue a meeting request to the other person from SfB either in Outlook or the Scheduler and then get them in on the web version. Same in these Teams days.
  13. Oops, necropost! It will be a cert issue for sure
  14. Our settings are exactly like yours, but we have Max encryption in the drop down and automatic for VPN type, not sure that makes a difference! We found the docs extremely confusing tbh, and went with user rather than machine, but we are probably going 2FA on our firewalls eventually. Oh and make sure your servers can resolve the internal address of the NPS server you have in the boxes, not sure if the client needs to as well.
  15. We tried this in the early days, and found if you invited someone in normal skype, it would take hours to days for the request to turn up on the other side, just wasn't worth it! I rue the day they gave both version the same name, I still have to mansplain the difference to people. Hopefully Teams replacing SkypeFB will sort this forever...
  16. @Simcfc73 stick with the Good Place S1 in its entirety, then make a decision, people who have watched it should know why! If you already know and still don't move on, then fair enough
  17. Intelligence, managed half of the first episode, what a load of complete bobbins
  18. Good afternoon all, We are looking into deploying Office 2019 ProPlus to our computers, and while we have the click to run deployment running perfectly over SCCM, on first run by an end user they are presented with a "Log into Office 365" dialog, can this be stopped or anyone know what particular facet of the install is causing this? We are on-prem AD based with Exchange, so no need for the O365 integration. We do have a hybrid, but no one has a mailbox in the cloud. Thank in advance, James
  19. I'm a few episodes in, enjoying it so far, just having to avoid annoying plot holes. One of which being they all traveled down from Seattle in the Volvo, so where did Tyler get his car from... Pedantic I know, but those little things get me!
  20. we were quoted £52.87 for 23B-270 - OVSF Visio Professional 1Yr AP , that's quite a price rise, should have got in earlier!!
  21. Afternoon all, We want a few to 5 of copies of Visio, and RM have come back with £5 ish FTE, but we don't want it for everyone, per year cost on a small amount is £50 ish. We had a google around for standalone and found it for £12 on Amazon and £25 on microsoftstore.org.uk, £500 on ebuyer!!! Where are they getting these keys from, and selling them so cheap, its not as if Visio is mainstream and can knock off a Currys to get a load of keys!
  22. Now into episode 7 of Watchmen, and after a rocky world building start, absolutely loving it! Well worth a view.
  23. Oh I agree wholeheartedly! TBH we use blast a lot more these days than PCOIP. We have 2 M10 Tesla cards in each server. The system works great in some situations, and I am pretty sure its a profile/persona issue, but higher ups want all the options! I used to sell small business citrix years ago, and the markups are horrendous between what the dealer buys it for the RRP to the end user, but Citrix set the pricing. weird really, but I wasn't complaining back in the day, now I'm on the other end, complaining is the name of the game!
  24. We are already a VMWare Horizon standard user, but we cannot get it stable, so I have been asked for competing pricing, is all. Don't really want to pay Citrix prices anyway! We have so many little problems that IT can live with, but the general user can't. Printers dropping, black screens, slowness, etc, long login times, etc. And it's not everyone at same time, its the odd user here and there, really annoying! Running Persona and have Tesla cards and APEX PCOIP offload cards too. 512GB RAM in beefy server and plenty of space connected into a 10Gbe backbone gigabit network. It should p all over this scenario.
  25. Morning all, Anyone got a bead on roughly what prices we can expect to pay for a citrix virtual app and desktop licence in an education setting, if they indeed do that. Currently "no discount, off the site" pricing is around £162 per, which is eyewatering when we want 150-200!! Do Citrix have a educational licence program or are they still pulling the minimum spend malarkey that rules out anyone other than a Uni? Thanks, any help appreciated James
