  1. Interestingly no one has mentioned Insight,I've not got a cheaper iPad quote for several years
  2. If you're looking at DP and SUP, then biggest resource would be disk space. I have DP (but not SUP) running on one of our primaries all-in-one server which until summer only had 4GB RAM in (and was doing SIMs etc). Wasn't fast or pretty, but worked. Are you going VM or physical?
  3. Looks like clientmate can run a program as part of it's power outage shutdown, so possibly use bmail as a temporary solution. Borri also seem to have some newer software (power guardian) which looks better featured, not sure if that would work with your UPS. Do you know what model UPS as that may give more of an indication of what it's capable of in terms of network.
  4. What's your current UPS? It may have either USB/Serial/Network which with a combination of things may be able to email you presently.
  5. Hopefully what everyone else has said has answered, but I'll add my bit SAN - is presented to the device accessing it as a raw hard disk, so you can then partition/format etc as required NAS - is presented as an already formatted file system so files can be placed on it As others have said, the definition is now much more muddied - for example, you used to be able to say that SAN was used in back end storage for virtualisation, but now SMB3 and NFS are used for storage (which are NAS protocols - they are used for file transfer). And SAN wise, you used to have fibre networks, but then iSCSI was introduced which allowed use of LAN/ethernet, and now FCoE.
  6. If you have freepbx on your asterisk box, there's an outbound CID value in the extensions - this would be one way of doing it, but would require the full number entered in each extension. If you have multiple extensions requiring the same prefix, you might have to do something more complex with extension contexts... but you'd be best posting on asterisk or freepbx forums for further advice in those situations.
  7. Go on... switch to C#... you know you want to
  8. Depending on the language (if c#), could you use the ? operator: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ty67wk28.aspx Or ternary operator if(): https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vbteam/2008/03/12/orcas-introduces-the-if-operator-a-new-and-improved-iif-sophia-salim/
  9. I think we have a Behringer MPA40BT-PRO - no complaints with it (apart from students/staff breaking phonos in the sockets)
  10. Found this yesterday when I was looking at a few bits, wonder if it will assist with this? https://www.saotn.org/windows-server-2012-r2-disk-cleanup-dism/
  11. Is the server the file share on a DC, and if not, have staff somehow been added to the local administrators group on that server (check in compmgmt.msc)
  12. Resourced one off ebay - AMD A4-4000. Used it for it's purpose and now good to go if anyone wants it - £15 inc postage
  13. The other thing to watch out for is the fun of having moved a Solus 3 DB between instances - looks like the instance is stored in SQL and the package deployer looks this up - ours was trying to do stuff on our old instance as part of the install. Table solus3.agent_target_parameters, check against solus3.agent_target to find the relevant instancename and ensure this matches solus3 instance
  14. Looking to borrow or buy an early fm2 cpu to bios flash mobo to support newer model cpu. If anyone willing to lend for beer and postage or sell, let me know.
  15. Cool - Might set it as a scheduled task on RDSH, that may fill quite quickly if we have multiple users using mapped drives...
  16. @gshaw, out of interest, do you get the space back if the drive is unmapped and remapped... I'm planning on looking at iamcloud, but if there's an issue with webdav implementation, no point in even contemplating
  17. If it's a NIC-NIC connection, ideally you'd be using a crossover cable - is this the case? If not, the auto neg may also be doing auto-mdix, which when switching off auto neg is potentially being disabled as well?
  18. Get in there GCSE French... you did come in useful for something after all
  19. I normally dislike BMW in general, but I'll hand that one to them... I'd love to know the stats of the calls they receive today...
  20. Slowly but surely moving from Cisco to Huawei
  21. Thanks @gjseaman - had been quoted that part number but not given any clues as to what it was or what it gets us - further investigation suggests it's $100 credit on Azure, does that correlate with what you're receiving?
  22. Errrrr, I think I started with this, but not 100% sure https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Office-365-integration-with-on-premises-environments-263faf8d-aa21-428b-aed3-2021837a4b65 And advice - firewall rule wise requires ESMTP (not just SMTP) as TLS is required for the hybrid mailflows
  23. If you have Exchange 2010+ onsite, then hybrid should work (and makes the transfer from onsite to o365 fairly seamless) - I did this last year, and aside from some fun with firewall rules and the LA, worked beautifully.
  24. Echo what @nathan said - we're on PSF and support can sometimes be testing - also charges for additional modules are at a corporate level and there is sometimes little realisation of how much these modules would be used and how the charging could be dealt with differently (like multi-locations, 1 secondary, 4 primary, all charged same amount for automated reporting). However, saying that, the software is very effective and flexible (within the defined realms of a financial system) and they do have some excellent consultants (one of them answered emails as I did an upgrade the the latest version of software on a bank holiday last year)
  25. Shed loads of pancakes made last night for our house group, started savoury (cheese and bacon), then moved to part savoury (maple syrup and bacon), then onto various other toppings... the "interesting" flavour choice of the evening... after eight mints...
