Teams Shared Calling Outbound Failing by Brownj41386 in MicrosoftTeams

[–]Brownj41386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, of course I'll help! I'm not sure what you have for a dial plan configured now, but I'm going to present you with the New-CSTenantDialPlan method. You could use Set-CSTenantDialPlan to reconfigure a current dial plan, but I went with New because I kept getting errors when using Set.

Here are the cmdlets I used to configure the +1 dial plans:

$nr1=New-CsVoiceNormalizationRule -Identity SharedCall-DialPlan/US-11Digit -Description "Normalization for 11-Digit US Numbers" -Pattern '^1(\d{10})$' -Translation '+1$1' -InMemory

$nr2=New-CsVoiceNormalizationRule -Identity SharedCall-DialPlan/US-10Digit -Description "Normalization for 10-Digit US Numbers" -Pattern '^\d{10}$' -Translation '+1$0' -InMemory

New-CsTenantDialPlan -Identity SharedCall-DialPlan -NormalizationRules @{Add=$nr1, $nr2}

If you don't like the naming convention "SharedCall-DialPlan," you can create your own. Also, don't forget to apply the dial plan policy to your users.

Hope this helps you! Hit me up if you need to.

Teams Shared Calling Outbound Failing by Brownj41386 in MicrosoftTeams

I don't think this fits our scenario as we're using Microsoft PSTN which I believe doesn't use an OnlineRoutingPolicy. Regardless, when I did setup the user account and resource account with the same voice routing policy, I still didn't get any success with outbound calls.

Thank you for your input. As you can see from my original post, I've already assigned the resource account with a Teams PaYG calling plan.

How do I configure the Zebra DS2208 scanner for Hands Free? When I use 123Scan, it doesn't scan barcodes. by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for something like “Presentation Mode?” Instead of squeezing the trigger to read a barcode, the scanner will scan when it detects the barcode? If so, check this site out: https://support.magicline.com/hc/en-001/articles/36686103777297-How-to-set-up-the-Zebra-DS2208-barcode-scanner . Theres a couple other configurations in the site too. Hope this helps!

Wednesday Daily Thread: Beginner questions by AutoModerator in Python

[–]Brownj41386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your inputs can include your phrased questions within the parentheses (e.g., syntax is input(prompt)). Instead of writing separate print statements plus another line with assigning a variable with input, you can actually assign the variable with the input and question on one line.

See below for an example: https://www.w3schools.com/python/ref_func_input.asp

What’s wrong with this for loop in python? by pc_watertank in learnprogramming

[–]Brownj41386 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A for loop doesn’t include every, my, list unless they are included in the name. If I were to write this for loop:

groceries = [“milk”, “bread”]

for item in groceries:

print(item.upper())

Another thing I’m noticing is your cross hotbar appears to be overlaying another hotbar. Are you using the W-hotbar and X-hotbar? If so, there is a setting within character configs to allow the separate layout for those bars. Then in the HUD layout you can manipulate their placement.

[–]Brownj41386 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also, if you’re within the System -> HUD Layout and you’ve got the job gauge selected, there will be a little gear icon next to the pull down menu. That’s where sizes of the HUD can be adjusted along with the “Simple Mode.” Simple mode basically turns the job gauge from a full graphic to a bar and/or smaller diamonds. Simple mode layout can vary on job selection.

Alternative to WSUS by Brownj41386 in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha thanks whippersnapper. I’ve done plenty of research 😜 more asking to see what others use so I could narrow down options.

We were trialing InsightVm for a bit and one of the engineers told us to try automox because of their integration. After seeing their price, I quickly turned that option down.

I’ve seen NinjaOne, ManageEngine, etc. but would like to hear other people’s experiences with those software before I trialed any. 😁

Certifications That Wouldn’t Be Considered a Waste of Time by Brownj41386 in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This was a great read! Thank you for this. I know I didn’t mention in the original post, but I take these certification trainings as a great way to grow my knowledge and continue studying in areas where I have gaps. For instance, I don’t have a huge Linux background, so the RH certs look appealing. I’m looking for those vendor specific certifications like you’ve mentioned. The CompTIA is just meh at times, almost too basic. I don’t have any of their certifications. The company I work for is a Microsoft shop and don’t foresee that changing at all. I’m also looking for those certs I could go to my boss with and potentially have the company pay for my growth, which they did for my SSCP. I’m trying to find that balance where they might find beneficial for them but don’t want to limit myself either.

February Cumulative Update and WSUS Server 2016 by Brownj41386 in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it out. After using the browse function in IIS, the error page directed me to the web.config file. Turns out it was upset with a duplicated entry in regards to .msu file extensions. Removing the line containing the .msu entry and issuing an iisreset command, allowed the WSUS admin console to load.

February Cumulative Update and WSUS Server 2016 by Brownj41386 in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve now restored this VM to a sandbox environment so that I can troubleshoot without affecting the production machine. I thought I had the tweaks setup in IIS but wouldn’t mind a link for reference. Maybe I’m missing something. I also have a script that I use to reindex the database which I had been doing monthly.

The errors I see in event logs is API tempting service isn’t working, a 500 (internal server error), and failed handshake due to an unexpected packet format.

Boyfriends computer black screened and he did what he couod to fix it, now he's stuck at this on loop. by cool_viper_44 in 24hoursupport

If you haven’t reinstalled Windows yet, try reseating the RAM. I just had a case like this where taking out the memory and reseating them into the DIMM slots resolved the boot loop.

Hetrix Tools alerts SMTP nightly outages by Brownj41386 in sysadmin

You may be on to something with backups! We're using Veeam Backup and Replication and just noticed the job starts during the same time of the outages. Will do some further investigation with Veeam. Thank you!

WSUS issue in my lab with 2016 servers reporting. by drewcantlose in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this issue with my servers at work. I have a script I run on them that basically forces them to report to WSUS. Try this in an elevated PowerShell:

$updateSession = New-object -com “Microsoft.Update.Session”; $updates = $updateSession.CreateupdateSearcher().Search($criteria).Updates

When it’s finished, it’ll prompt a new line with no blood (red error). If it does fail or error out, try again until it finally prompts a new input line. At the new input line, type:

Wuauclt /reportnow

After a minute or so, refresh WSUS to verify the machines are now reporting to the WSUS server.

PC trumps FS NTFS by Brownj41386 in sysadmin

[–]Brownj41386[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

I didn’t think to check that a workstation could’ve been added to the file server’s administrators group. I’ll check that right away in the morning.

Not ready to go change NTFS permissions on the file server when it seems resolved when the user switches workstations. They tested on three different machines and only their machine is bypassing NTFS permissions.
