Verizon sells a signal booster device that actually works pretty well. We've put a few of them here, but all our corporate cell phones are Verizon.

We can't do that for some reason (I forget why), but we just had this discussion with another guy in a different part of the building, and ended up installing a Wilson AG Pro 70 db Dual Band Cellular Signal Booster from Amazon for $675 and it works pretty well. I gave that to him as on option, last time it was such a huge issue to spend the money to get one. It also isn't going to cover the whole warehouse and shop floor like he wants, just their little office. Which is fine but the first time he's in the warehouse and misses a cell call...

That's when you tell him that you'd love to get him one but management denied the request due to cost. Then you tell him to get his boss to talk to management if he needs it to do his job.

Couldn't people VOIP via google voice (hangouts) to receive calls for $0 + cost of a WAP? If US based.

I said to check with the person who gave you the phone about AT&T vs Verizon - the IS Department does not handle cell phones. We can install an extender like we did in Plant 2 Mezzanine however it will only cover the office and not the entire warehouse, and it is expensive. That answer made him go crying to someone else. He always cries to people about stuff. He's the same guy who asked why I had to buy him a $1150 laptop from Lenovo (X1 for travel) instead of the $449 ones they have at Sam's Club. Sam's Club.

Usually it's the other way around "I want the more expensive one because more money = more better".

He runs this refurbishing division and they are cheap as poo poo and try to get free labor from Goodwill, the Salvation Army, and those organizations that use handicapped people to do work.

I bet he has a load of money because of how much a cheap rear end in a top hat he is. Does he also scam benefits for low income people?

"We're moving offices so we can be right next to the soup kitchen. I'm tired of paying for lunch!" How is it that people grow up and don't understand that just because something costs fewer dollars for you personally doesn't mean it isn't more expensive for someone else/temporally/ethically.

Stupid question time. We have a Netbotz 320 at a remote location and we haven't received alerts from it in a while. It was pointing at Gmail's SMTP server, so I changed it to our IIS SMTP server, 172.16.111.61. I added the Netbotz appliance's IP to the connection and relay permissions. For good measure, I stopped and restarted the SMTP server within IIS. The Netbotz log only shows this: code:If I telnet to the server on 25, I a similar thing. It gives that first line then nearly instantly closes the connection. Anyone know what I'm missing? MJP fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jan 27, 2015 |

They also said he didn't need to rent a car and they could just take him around in their church van or whatever.

I've had clients before who would rather down an office of 30 people for a couple of hours to swap various bits of hardware out than pay for the work to be done out of hours. It's like time is only a cost to them if they get an invoice for it.

I'm pretty sure when you delete users, it doesn't actually delete them, it just removes them from your managerial control. The accounts are still there, but you no longer have access to them.

Fun request came through to my personal email from a friend at my previous small MSP. He gave me a list of their core servers and asked to check if I could get into them. My reply was quote:Its all still broken. I guess you all reenabled SSL2 and started a service that enabled the old self DDOS scripts. Have fun finding it since it'll loop until you find the account! Ah, I love having old bosses that don't pay attention. Not my problem anymore Before anyone says "thats malicious activity", they were told that this stuff existed when I was on my way out and I disabled it since I was asked to leave it there.

Next things I'd check are: - Is outbound SMTP from that relay host permitted in the firewall? Lots of companies drop port 25 traffic from any non-designated email host to prevent infected computers from becoming spam bots - Do you have an SPF record setup for the domain that you're using in the "From: " address, and if so, has the public IP address that your relay is sending from listed in the SPF record? If not, Gmail will likely consider it spam and possibly drop it.
