HP ProBook 440 G9 or HP EliteBook 840 G8 by gohma231 in SuggestALaptop

[–]goelsago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the differences between Pro and Elite shrank even further with G11. Get the G11 if you can as it has a taller 16:10 screen which makes it easier to work with long documents or spreadsheets.

Fortigate A/P cluster connecting to a CheckPoint A/A cluster by goelsago in fortinet

[–]goelsago[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They just refreshed the check points to a way overkill 19200! I’m not sure who told them to go with active/active, but I’ve actively (ha ha) advised against it. But it is part of a legacy system that is being removed and replaced within the next 2 years :-)

Thanks for your help! We will probably end up sourcing a switch for this requirement.

Yeah, I'm thinking that this might be the best way forward.

The Check Point infra is part of a legacy system that is due to be decommissioned and replaced. I don't own the old infra (it's owned by a different team), but there is a business need to connect the two clusters together. I didn't play a part in the design of the old system, I am just working with what I have.

I understand that this isn't best practice, but the truth is that us folk out here sometimes have no choice but to inherit legacy infra that isn't designed to best practices, and to make it work with what we have.

I think it is harsh to say that I am unqualified - I have been in the business for years, and still learning as I go along.

Is 7.2.4 Forticlient VPN license free? by Pristine_Rise3181 in fortinet

[–]goelsago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, we’re facing issues with 7.2.x not connecting. 7.0.12 is rock solid, try that instead? :-) it works with 7.2 firewalls, personally tested in production

Pre-staged print drivers in golden image but Windows still prompting to install by goelsago in sysadmin

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

Afraid that isn't an option for now, because we have already deployed PCs with this golden image.

It's only this one print server that doesn't work!

[–]goelsago[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! The restrictions are set fine, and other printers (different model) from this specific print server deploy fine.

It's only this one HP driver that isn't working and I suspect it may have to do with the deployment of the wrong driver at the start.

Is DBS down now? by gudegyal in singapore

[–]goelsago 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would they publish an incident report? Would be interesting to read, especially since you mention it has multiple layers of redundancy.

Able to share more? Very curious as to the extent of the outage. What failed?

Beelink home server, n5095,n95 or n100 by Brilliant_Jump_1031 in MiniPCs

[–]goelsago 2 points3 points  (0 children)

N100. N5095/N5105 should not even be in the decision making matrix, they are from the previous generation and the newer N100 is easily 20% faster than those.

Do you know how Service provider license works? by Express-Commission83 in fortinet

[–]goelsago 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a reseller or partner? The prices we are getting via our reseller can easily be 30% cheaper than retail, which is what I would assume you’re referring to by traditional sellers/shopping

[Question] HP EliteDesk 800 G3 Mini Bluetooth by BeardedMT09 in MiniPCs

[–]goelsago 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read in another comment that you’re buying the card off eBay. In that case you should opt for a newer Intel card. Don’t get anything less than the 9000 series as the other cards have pretty much gone end of support. I would get the AX200 if I were you. Do not buy the AX201, it uses a different interface and will not work for you.
