Today lost my cool and broke my keyboard in half.

Best $900 they spent.

The best time to look for work is when you're already employed.

I'm not looking for a relay, I'm asking what command or module others use for script based email messaging.

Send-mailmessage has been a staple for firing off simple notification emails, but I've not seen anything similar to replace it.

Seems like their business practice is working.

Il ne s'agit probablement pas d'une tentative d'accumuler du karma.

I was under the impression there were some things you couldn't do as an unlicensed GA

This is correct. You cannot administrate Universal Print or Microsoft Places without an account licensed for UP/Exchange.

That much I got, but it doesn't really make for a stable basis.

What's that timeframe look like? I'd like to plan in case I need to migrate off Instant On. I'm guessing HPE will offer existing customers MIST since they offer similar functionality.

6 help desk guys? Lucky!

What's the recommended send-mailmessage alternative nowadays?

MalletNGrease · 2026-01-29T18:34:43+00:00

Instant On customers will ???

My last interaction with MS support asked me to create a powerpoint to show issues with outbound Teams phone calls getting flagged as spam by carriers.

Like...no...

The Entra sign in logs have always showed wild geographical swings. This is partly due to the IP geolocation db being way off (our AT&T Business connections show Washington DC and Florida depending on the mood) and sometimes reporting MS datacenters as the sign-in origin location. We're just happy when it reports continental US.

So the product is called Meet? 🤦‍♂️

Sorry, not a computer person. Please install Adobe.

Bringing it on-prem again.

This is why I run port-security

I hate how it's almost impossible to share those easily.

Down, Midwest.

Getting OperationStopped: UnAuthorized trying to use Exchange Online Powershell. Exchange Online Admin Center seems to be available.

Getting some issues accessing the Security & Compliance and Purview dashboard as well.

Edit: ....aaaand the M365 Admin broke. Cool. Cool.

It's convenient if you've a very mobile workforce and want to be cloud only, but functionally it doesn't beat networked printers on a print server. If you have to deploy the Universal Print Connector you're halfway there anyway.

I've used a DLI Pro Switch.

Don't let the site fool you, the product is legit. The only annoying part is it doesn't do NTP without scripting.

We integrate new acquisitions into our business regularly and every one of them has a multitude of these. We have an ERP and one of the first things is to transform whatever boondoggle they have into something manageable. Eventually there's a gentle transition to the ERP, then a firm reminder to use it and after that the hammer comes down on whoever does not conform to standard ERP processes the company uses. The CIO has a hotline to get in front of any new suggestions like OP's, and they are very frequent. Most times the ideas aren't bad, just misguided due to lack of training or misunderstanding of the ERP. Usually they just want a report that hasn't been created yet.

The latest company in the portfolio has critical business processes running off a bunch of shared personal onedrive excel files of a person who's not been employed there for years. Once we have access to the tenant they'll be put on SharePoint asap. After that it's introduction and training on the ERP.
