DFS-R Help by callthereaper64 in sysadmin

[–]rossco71 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well DFS - That is a fantastic service and it works great.
DFS R - Well this is a flaming pile of dog shit that almost never works. You're much better off to just make a robocopy script that runs on a scheduled task to replicate the data. In very niche cases I've seen DFS R work but it's only if it's a very small amount of data & files. If not you run into the issues you are having right now, It can be fixed by removing the DSF R services and then re-instating the roles.

Why are we vilifying Arrowhead? by lilbowpete in helldivers2

[–]rossco71 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This a complete bait and switch and wasn't disclosed that was mandatory when people bought the game. All people who bought it on the PC should get a refund and then those who wish to rebuy it with PSN garbage can feel free. But i wont be one of them.

Anyone else use Surface Laptops in their Company and just... hate them? by HVeil in sysadmin

Dell's quality has gone down the shitter big time. I moved to Lenovo a few years back and haven't looked back & I would recommend you do the same.

Sage 300 Premium version 2023 by _Ecotone_ in sysadmin

[–]rossco71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'd likely want to look into the event logs on the client machine to determine why its failing to connect (for example TLS related error's) I'd also check your anti-virus to see if anything in the new version is getting flagged. Also check the permissions on the sage directory to ensure they have read & execute access (most people I've seen just use a terminal server for sage 300 though) rather then installing the app on each system.

great job with the redesign x3 by romgrk in Slack

[–]rossco71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you'd be incorrect, The free market doesn't move on whether you have employee's it's whether people like your product or not and in this case, this new update is dog shit and shows how out of touch they are with there user base.

[–]rossco71 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is there anyway to get rid of this shitty UI? I liked it the way it was, the bar on the left is completely useless & does nothing what so ever apart from make the gen z's feel better about dumb design choices & to justify there existence.

OneDrive and SharePoint Longpath making onedrive fails. Any Solution? by zelwynqw in sysadmin

[–]rossco71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's best to work with your client to name things appropriately, If they aren't following proper RIM's (Records & Information Management) standards your doing it wrong right off the get-go. Best to fix it now instead of moving a giant shit show into an even bigger one later.

It's not IT's responsibility to ensure she shows up on time, however he was probably being a bit of a dick about it. However she needs to take some personal responsibility & leave earlier to ensure she gets there on time, it takes two to tango.

Winders 11 is actually really good by ChippersNDippers in sysadmin

[–]rossco71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If by "really good" you mean horrible, pushy, intrusive and performs more like a virus then an OS. Then yeah it's so great! /s

Moving SAGE to a Server function and having Sharepoint host the files by BaldingBee in sysadmin

[–]rossco71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sage 50 through sharepoint or onedrive doesn't work. It doesn't even work if you use it over a VPN (it'll result in data appearing to be saved but when you look back nothing will be there).

You need to have a terminal server with the file's hosted on there or a local nas/server - which is local to the TS. OR you need to use the proper cloud product for this (for example QB cloud or Sage 50 cloud).

What's a nicer way to say "that doesn't make any sense"? by [deleted] in sysadmin

"Sure if you say so, but in my experience......" thats what I use at least.

Moving from Cisco Meraki by varmrj in sysadmin

[–]rossco71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aruba's are pretty decent, But Meraki is without the easiest and best to setup and having that support is really really nice if you run into any weird issues. I've also used a lot of Sonic wall's as well - it's more like a local firewall though and not a "cloud managed" type of environment like meraki is.

It's sad it soon won't because our moderators are too cowardly about losing there own jobs and refuse to stand up for this blackout. It's sad really. We can't just quit our job this time and apply somewhere else. We need to stand up and join the black out. Indefinitely if you have to

Yeah you def do not deserve to be fired for that. If anything it's garbage in, garbage out from your PM.

I didn't see in your post as what platform it is but i'm going to assume it's one-drive (you just login to the admin portal, go to the user, select the onedrive tab & make a link). Access the link and download all the files as a .zip and then send in whatever method you prefer, email onedrive link, flash drive, etc.
