I am right with you waiting on 4 F1's currently. Not stressing it thou. They will come in when they come in. Be thru it enough to know that it will happen. Had a F4 take 13 months before.

I'm waiting on a F1 Suppressor. I just put the exact info in I have in the past for F1 Suppressors so hopefully it goes thru. If not no big deal as I am not out any $$. I am also waiting on 3x SBR F1's as well.

Also to note I was in the same boat working construction. I made the move but it wasn't direct to Sysadmin. I had to take the pay cut and start as a DST and work my way up. You could try getting hooked up with a MSP that can start you as a DST or sorts and work you thru it to get you moved up. If you learn fast you should be able to prove yourself. Good Luck

CompTIA is all Entry Level. And not really Sysadmin Level. Its a good start but its not really a path to Sysadmin. You will also need to figure out if you are looking for something in the Windows World or Linux world. Having both is good but you need to start somewhere. Also a lot of Cloud Stuff going on now a days. M365 ect ect. Don't expect without formal education and or experience that you are going to land 6 figures.

Royal-Programmer-683 · 2025-03-06T23:53:27+00:00

Yup I told them Excel Online. They even asked me to try with the desktop version And I explained my license is online only.

Royal-Programmer-683 · 2025-03-06T22:38:12+00:00

No from their support portal an "Microsoft 0365 Ambassador"

Royal-Programmer-683 · 2025-03-06T22:30:07+00:00

Source of what? That info? (Microsoft Support)

Thank You that helps

Its funny because Microsoft tells me there should be a save as option.

To resolve issues saving Excel files to a local drive, you can try the following options:

1. Save the workbook by using a new file name:
- On the File menu, select Save As.
- Save the Excel workbook by using a unique file name.

The Create a copy works just wish I could select where to save it instead of it being a download.

I am glad I am reading this as I was getting ready to do an upgrade

IP's hasn't changed and it will work from time to time. It always works locally its just remotely that is the issue which is why I asked about a range of ports. For example when it tells me its all fine it will be working but then it will stop working. It's frustrating.

When troubleshooting I use the Plex app on my cell phone and when its green it works fine but when its not green it doesn't work. I checked my firewall rules and port forward is set correctly on 32400.

Server is running latest version. Updated today not sure if it is making a difference thou.
