They allow virtualisation on servers but only support you if you can duplicate the issue on a supported os. https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/enterprise/kb/technical-support-boundaries-virtualized-server-based.html

Used to be all A3 for all staff but as all our established staff already had teams phones licenses and we were rolling our power bi pro to them the cost of a3+powerbi pro+teams phone was more or less the same as a5 which already includes those so we moved them to a5 and get true benefit of all the a5 services and student benefit.

Dead project, website has been taken over

Don’t think the watchguard ssl vpn client supports autoconnect You have to use the premium ncp ipsec client for autoconnect or try to script windows built in ipsec client to autoconnect

Alertus offer a free option via their Alertus Safe in Seconds project.

Microsoft said edu esu was going have a yearly per device cost of: $1 year 1, $2 year 2 and $4 year 3.

Going through a framework helps buffer you from their false promises. Even then check the small print as you can find hidden terms like charging double a4 for a3 prints, charges for scanning, charges for being connected to the network, not being connected to a network, for monitoring by them and for not being monitored by them etc The sales people will lie to you to get a sale.

Watch out for things like -charging 2x a4 clicks for a3 printing/copying -also charging for scanning -minimum monthly copy requirements -charging a network connection fee per device or charging a network fee if decide isn’t connected to the network

1809 LTSC (2019) is 10 years of security updates, note you are likely to notice apps stop working with it before then as a lot like Office versions are not supported on LTSC, same with Adobe apps In around 2021 Microsoft changed the LTSC to 5 year to line up the perpetual office LTSC which is 5 years. So try 2021 LTSC is 5 years. The iot ltsc remains 10 years but that is special use cases.

It goes to outlook web but the url has no domainhint so will use whatever tenant (personal, your org, other org) the user is currently logged in to. If they are logged in to the other account will also get an error staying their account doesn’t have permission to access resources in your tenant.

Worth avoiding single tenancy for multiple orgs due to upcoming tenancy storage limitation, you will run out of storage a lot quicker and it is very expensive to add more storage

That’s for the IoT LTSC that has specific licensing and usage requirements not the normal LTSC that is expected to keep the TPM requirement

We had a major performance issue with the latest firmware for SHD models, had to manual downgrade to a previous version to get things back to normal. Don’t know if that affects your model

How many copies of IQ are running at the same time as it is ancient and not multicore friendly, we found each instance used 25+% of the cpu when we used to have resource

Microsoft have said going forward all Windows Client LTSC releases will align with the 5 year life cycle of perpetual Office. Only the IOT variant will remain on 10 year lifecycle.

The links are outdated. CPU licensing no longer exists it is all per code now. Essentials no longer exists just the Plus now Essentials plus is a kit is now a 96 core kit Standard is a minimum of 16 cores per cpu

Standard has some more features like storage vmotion. They have also taken virtualisation based security away from essentials plus and standard, that now requires foundation

Yealink have a nice free cloud provisioning service (RPS) which lets you set a url to a config file (that doesn’t need to be an externally accessible url). Saves messing with dhcp. Just plug in or factory reset the phone and it will reach out to RPS grab the url then the phone will download the config file. They have a app to build the config file with global and per device such as address book links, button config etc Also works in front of Teams SIP Gateway provisioning server which doesn’t let you add customs config, using RPS lets you set thing like password, volume etc. before it redirects back to the sip gateway provisioning service and configure the phone. Some settings such as custom line buttons don’t survive when the phone does a regular checkin to the sip gateway as they get overwritten by some Microsoft annoying defaults but the important setting like password etc survive.

The older Netman 204 cards were 100mb (2 versions existed the 2GB and 4GB models) the Netman 208 is the replacement and is a gigabit, has other improvement such as the firmware update process, no longer need to pop the card out and copy the new firmware to a Microsd card to update it, all done via the WebGui now.

Also watch out for these types of contacts charging 2 clicks for a3

We rolled back from 6.6.55 due to extremely poor speeds. No issue on older firmware

Ours is up for renewal in April and our resellers say they are blocked from renewing before April. The pricing document going around online suggests $35 a core per year for essentials plus on a 3 year contact with a 96 core minimum. Under the new pricing it looks like vSphere standard which is $50 a core will be cheaper for some users as that doesn’t have the 96 core minimum requirement.
