Does it include anything on sound that you can point to and say "See, this is what the project requires, we don't have that, I can't solve the problem at this stage unless the minimum specs are met" ? I know it's Cisco, and you're using Polycom, but Cisco does have a number of telepresence/video conferencing room design guides that include information on acoustics, lighting, and even paint color choice. http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/endpoint/misc/user_guide/video_conferencing_room_primer_ver02.pdf http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/td/docs/telepresence/endpoint/misc/user_guide/video_conferencing_room_acoustics_guidelines_ver01.pdf http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/solutions/collateral/collaboration-endpoints/c07-643449-00_tp_dg.pdf

Alt + underlined letter = Perform the command for that letter "I can't find the 'underlined letter' key." In terms of shortcuts, shift+right click in a folder lets you open cmd there, but no powershell option. My favorite shortcut I've learned recently is Alt+D and then type 'powershell' into the folder address bar without quotes to open powershell in that directory.  iajanus posted:Most businesses are really badly let down by the management tools.

A laptop came in... mSATA SSD doesn't boot. Put it in a USB adapter and plugged it into another computer, Disk Management wants to initialize it. I'd rather try to get files off it first before I do that. Any free/quick suggestions before considering an expensive recovery service?

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:where can I find a (good, free) guide to starting an IT department and helpdesk from scratch I was in this boat a couple of years ago. Honestly the biggest challenge long-term was a tie between creating policy/getting backing for said policy and training users to use the helpdesk instead of emailing/calling IT directly. Short-term it was documenting everything, taking over roles from "whoever used to do it" which ranged from MSPs, local IT companies, "that guy in accounting that's good with computers", etc. and fixing horrific cabling/network configuration clusterfucks. If you have any questions about specifics feel free to PM me, but my advice right out the gate is if you have the budget then do like GreenNight says and hire someone else to do it for you.

You want the person or team who has done it dozens of times and not re-invent the wheel. gently caress that.

It was a good learning experience but not something I'd ever want to do again. We didn't have the budget to bring in outside people to set things up for us so the options were "do it yourself" or "find a new job".

Each company is different, with different management and user styles, and it makes me want to drink heavily each time. But, hey, it'd give you a good reason to try all the fancy alcohol your local store keeps behind the counter.

Also, clearly establish scope. I got dumped with supporting POTS phones and physical AV stuff (two things I knew absolutely nothing about) out of the blue and that sucked.

Nothing major, and I'm not sure how specific I can get with it, but we basically had a few students get expelled for identity theft last semester and now they're fighting back. I'm getting called in to testify. It's just another goddamn straw to add to this camel's back. On top of everything going on, now I have to spend the day in court watching these kids that literally confessed to everything try to get money we don't have out of us.
