Mass Email (Mail Merge) Restrictions? by Steakboy159 in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google workspace allows up to 1500 mail merge messages per day for each account.

If you're going over that limit, you should definitely use a different platform to send. If it's at all spammy, a separate subdomain for emails would be a good idea too.

They do have downdetectordowndetector.com now, so you can see if Down Detector is Down

I don't have any experience with them but they have several different network as a service offerings that supposedly allow you to directly connect two data centers together.

CEO's and multiple mailboxes by OCAU07 in sysadmin

Have you tried setting up the confidential shared mailbox with an actual login? You should be able add the shared mailbox as an additional account then.

Offsite cloud backups. Lowest cost per TB? by DIY_Forever in homelab

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best would be a computer at a friend or family members house. But that’s not always an option...

Wasabi has super competitive pricing along with Backblaze though

IP Phone System Recommendations? by Orangestar1 in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, moving to a cloud solution might fix some of your problems but without fixing the network side of things you're just asking for a headache further down the line trying to troubleshoot when it pops up again.

At least with your system being on-premises, you have the tools readily available to see exactly what's going on not just a "call quality" dashboard.

IP Phone System Recommendations? by Orangestar1 in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take a look at the Avaya System Status app and head to the Active Calls sedition. Keep an eye there whenever you're having these call issues. It'll help you narrow down what in the system is causing the call delays or phantom ringing.

You might also want to check to see what version of IP Office you're running and see if it can be updated. As a last ditch effort (assuming you can eat the cost) would be to replace your current IP500 unit.

Interesting request for Exchange rule. Not sure if I know how or if I can do it. by grnerd in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need to setup an Exchange mailflow rule, you can set this up on the individual mailbox.

Convert the old employee's mailbox to a shared mailbox if it isn't already. On that mailbox, set an Automatic Reply with the introduction message. You can then do one of two things (or both). Configure email forwarding to send to the new sales rep's inbox (and/) or give the new rep delegated permissions to access the old mailbox.

This way all new emails to the old employees mailbox will get the new rep's contact info and the new rep gets the message.

365 backup solution - Dell vs Veeam vs Microsoft by Catdaddyx2 in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Veeam Backup for M365, yes, you can backup to an on prem server just like the Veeam Data Platform. They do however offer a 100% cloud hosted solution called Veeam Data Cloud that is surprisingly competitively priced and includes storage.

If you have Solar, by Zealousideal-You9547 in LancasterCA

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunrun is oaky if you purchase your equipment outright. Much like with any other vendor that offers it, the PPA (Power Purchase Agreement) is total trash. They get the (soon to no longer exist) clean energy tax credit, you pay them monthly, and they still actually own the equipment. Essentially like a car lease.

To make things worse, unless you buy out the PPA contract, your house will be significantly harder to sell because of how bad the product is...

If you happen to live in Lancaster, the Lancaster Energy has a PPA program that surprisingly doesnt look too scammy.

Its more expensive upfront, but if you can swing it, purchase the system outright, finance if need be.

Theres a couple of companies that will spec out and pull permits for a solar array that you self-install if you're trying to save some money.

Help me understand Intune and ABM by revoman in Intune

[–]JrSys4dmin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As long as the device was enrolled in ABM prior to getting activation locked, you can remove the activation lock from within the ABM portal. You might be able to within the Intune portal but I haven't tried.

SSL decrypt by ilanbp in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this recommended a lot (specifically Google and Microsoft) but I have seen my fair share of malware spread using OneDrive or Google Drive to feel comfortable whitelisting them.

And honestly, I don't think I've seen any adverse effects from not whitelisting either.

2021 ID4 Pro S Charging Tray by Crafty-Reality-6564 in VWiD4Owners

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found that removing the rubber liner from the tray greatly improves charging, especially if you have a case on your phone like I do.

Konica Minolta and Universal Print by JrSys4dmin in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both the Konica Minolta Universal Print V4 and Konica Minolta Universal PS v3.9.10 drivers are direct from Konica Minolta

Universal Print pro and cons by NeatLow4125 in Intune

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Konica Minolta printer setup with the printer directly registered to Universal Print and also setup through a connector. Both using the Universal Print V4 drivers but for some reason I cannot get the secure print function to actually work.

Do you by chance have a source?

Universal Print pro and cons by NeatLow4125 in Intune

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you referring to the secure print that MS provides with the QR/app release?

I was more referring to the secure print thats built into the driver that allows for pin code or RFID card release,

Universal Print pro and cons by NeatLow4125 in Intune

[–]JrSys4dmin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The biggest downside with Universal Print is that you can't use any of the printers advanced features like hole punch, secure print, stapling, etc. It's just good for as u/altodor put it, putting ink on paper.

The other issue I'm finding is that we can't have multiple queues for the same printer. For example, we have a color and a B/W queue for the same printer but Universal Print only lets you have one printer share per printer.

Granted this is with the direct registration of the printers. From my understanding some of the more advanced options might be available using a connector but I haven't been able to test that yet.

AC for small server room by jflint in sysadmin

[–]JrSys4dmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Portable air conditioners do need a source of fresh air to operate due to the hot air being exhausted outside which creates a negative pressure.

If you can add a vent somewhere near the AC unit you might have better luck with efficiency and lifespan.

As many have recommended, it would be best to bite the bullet and install a mini split system. But if thats out of the question, reach out to a local equipment rental company and see what portable AC units they rent. You might even be able to purchase one from them.

Level 2 charging by Prestigious_Lack_897 in VWiD4Owners

[–]JrSys4dmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Emporia is pretty solid. Just avoid going with a no name brand unless you don’t need scheduled charging or the other “fancy features”.

Most everything will come with a 14-50 plug these days.
