goobernoodles posted:Anyone know of a service that would transcribe voicemail into text, then email that to a per-determined email address or distribution list? In the event of an emergency, we're looking to have a phone number the person at the site could call for a quick, verbal run-down of the situation, and have that transcribed and texted to a certain group of people. We have verizon, so sending SMS by email works fine. Our phone system is an ancient piece of poo poo, not sure if newer systems do voicemail transcribing or not. This could be nice for a ticketing system as well. Cisco UC does this but it's an add-on license with a yearly subscription. Phone Tag does it for any phone that can forward voicemail (may be best for you). Works great for cellphones as well.

How does a typical DR Scenario looks for a company that can't re-IP certain machines?

I have a bit of budget to spend on self education materials. I am not really sure what to spend it on though. I picked up a couple books already but figured I'd solicit ideas here too. Doesn't need to be strictly tech, pretty much anything I could spin as professional development. Any resources you all like and recommend?

I'm working on replacing some old network hardware at one of the locations where I work. Right now in our racks we've got a stacked pair of Dell N20480P that just replaced some 10 year old Cisco switches. Those handle all the user's connections, POE to phones and cameras and stuff, as well as fiber connections to the two other buildings at that location and our incoming internet connection and a metro-e connection to our other external sites. In the other rack are the VM servers, application servers and backup servers, all hooked up to a stacked pair of Dell 6248s, which are then hooked to the N2048Ps on the 10gig ports. I'm trying to figure out if I should replace the 6248s with something new, if I can get the money to do so. They still work, they're as fast as everything else around them, and they're still covered by Dell's lifetime next business day warranty. If I do replace them I need redundancy, gigabit speed at least with 10gb uplinks, and enough ports to support at least 20 links per switch. Alternately I could just move the building to building fiber links, internet, and metro-e connections to the 6248s, make them the MST master switches and roll with them until they die or until I need IPV6 routing capability...

Is it possible to send files from a Synology Nas to someone's computer without accessing their computer? If so, how? It would be even cooler if I could do it to multiple computers at once, but that sounds like more of a GPO thing.

I mean, by definition moving files to someone's PC is accessing it. That said, there's no easy mechanism I'm aware of to push files from a Synology to a/multiple PCs built into the Synology itself. It's just a highly-customized Linux under the hood, so you could use console access to copy files from the device itself. You can also push files from one network share to another (including the hidden \\computername\c$\ administrative share) with GPOs or PowerShell. A GPO would have the individual PC pull directly from the NAS. I'm not 100% sure if a PS command would route the file THROUGH your computer/network connection. If you had remote sessions open to the PCs, then it should definitely pull directly.

I'm trying to get installation files onto users' computers without having to remote in, because they get pissy about getting interrupted and I don't want to deal with that multiple times. I tried LogMeIn's file transfer, but that was going about 200KB/s, so that's not a practical solution.

Do you just want to dump files onto a PC, or do you actually want to install the applications? Because PDQ Deploy exists.

Consider using PDQDeploy or something else to save you the manual installation time. But yeah, robocopy to the admin share (\\targetmachine\c$) is the (windows) tool for the job if you really just want to copy stuff to a computer reliably.

There should be a visio certification. It's downright embarrassing some of the visio gore I'm encountering going over past engineer documentation for this VAR I'm working for. Nevermind some of the networks they have designed. Jesus Christ. One client has 4 single points of failure and they only have 6 switches. How?!

Anyone have any idea if the Comcast business gateway IP address is the IP address of their terrible modem/gateway thing? We've got a customer who has a remote branch offices in another state using Comcast Business internet service and the office loses internet connectivity for 3-5 minutes randomly during the day every couple weeks and Comcast just gives us the ol' shrug. I've got an external monitoring service checking the static IP from Comcast and the gateway IP they gave us (which is one number higher than the static) and when one drops the other drops as well. The gateway is this thing, in bridge mode: http://media2.comcast.net/anon.comcastonline2/support/helpandsupport/businessclass/help_articles/CB_BWG_QuickStartGuide_Rev%20%203%2014.pdf

Maneki Neko posted:Anyone have any idea if the Comcast business gateway IP address is the IP address of their terrible modem/gateway thing? Yes, the gateway IP is generally just above or below your static block. Also, trash that Cisco into a dumpster fire. It will turn on public wifi automatically after every reboot, even if you have Comcast shut it off. No, you can't control that function yourself, only via a CSR. It drops sync constantly and Comcast will always just offer to have T2 "monitor" your connection for a bit. They may even send a tech out to fiddle with signal levels. Ask for the Netgear business gateway. No public wifi, as rock solid a connection as coax can be, and no god awful non-standard webGUI. We have them at 2 sites with 150/20 service and 99.99% of our disconnect issues have stopped since having the Cisco's hauled away.

Copy the data to the machines, then setup a powershell script to execute the install via a login or startup script in Group Policy, if you have access to that. If you don't have access to GP you can create a script block in Powershell encapsulating the installation arguments and Invoke-Command to execute it against each machine remotely. And if you can't eventually get someone to invest in PDQDeploy or SCCM (I'm a diehard for the latter), I'd look into this: http://psappdeploytoolkit.com/ Just make sure you remember that PSExec is the Devil's tool and you shouldn't use it. There are much better ways now.

If the installation files are properly packaged, you can remotely run msiexec /i /qn and you never have to remote in at all. Don't forget to add an /s to the robocopy. You might have just copied the directory. Of course, avoiding all this nonsense is what SCCM or something like that is for. e: Well beaten, that's what I get for leaving a reply window open.

Nah, that's good stuff too assuming he's working with MSIs. Sometimes I take for granted how much I've worked with this crap. By the by, definitely put some time and effort into App-V. It's pretty incredible, especially if you're looking at non-persistent VDI scenarios.

Two 4500s in the core, only one connects to the firewall even though though they have a switch dedicated to firewall inside outside van, the other 4500 just connects to the other one. Then their voice gateways attach to another switch which has one single link to one 4500
