Also have them set up some sort of log management / SIEM. That way they can see in aggregate. May allow them more context.

FISHMANPET posted:Yeah Microsoft can't figure out what the hell it's doing with itself. Now I'm more awake and I realize that nobody gives a poo poo. I remember job searching 6 years ago for a ConfigMgr job and I'd put all sorts of permutations (SCCM, ConfigMgr, Configuration Manager) into my search queries. So my real awake advice is make sure you've got multiple names in there at least once so that people can find it. Then again if someone is dumb enough to not search SCCM on a job site even now and they missed your job I'd say that might be a win. Sorry for never responding to this, I got real in the weeds, and became a interim director and the world went to poo poo. Thank you for the info, and I completely agree. As being in change management, our state overseers call it config management and its a poo poo show when I try and talk to people. My SCCM person is pretty rad, and he is doing great so hell yea there. Things got all screwy and now Im grabbing a VMWare / OS generalist as that was my main focus and now directoring. I know what I need for that one. But thanks again!

Well I had a feeling it was coming but our company just got acquired by a massive software conglomerate that acquired our competitor last year. Time for me to  - I know that SAMart run resume service got sold and I have heard it's not as good. Anyone have a recommendation for a similar service or should I just trust my resume skills all by myself?

Is O365 Skype for Business hosed for new accounts? Had two brand new accounts just throw their hands up and say "Skype can't login!" with little to no reason. The rest of the Office suite works just fine. Thank goodness we have 5 other means of communication

I've yet to see any legacy on-prem PBX provider make the move to cloud successfully - I don't think it's a lack of engineering skill and more to do with product managers having a pissing match because they all seem to position their cloud offering as something to get started with and then when you want a serious big boy phone system you get to spend  and move it all back into your data centres. Companies that only offer  phone systems seem to be a shitload better at it.

Is there a Cloud based phone service other than Ring Central you would suggest for a 4 person financial office? I don't have a problem with them, just curious what other similar options there are.

That’s how we roll for the Corp office, Teams telephony. No complaints here but of course I don’t have to manage it. Field people get cell phones and anyone in a call queue uses cloud contact center software.

Yeah but that conflicts with our mission statement of "Take all the loot and skedaddle". So we can't offer better wages or stability. And we here at the company feel a hos-...dynamic working environment is more entertaining for our senior management, as they get to push you around.

I've got a customer that wants to use their wall mounted TV to view security cameras, I have no clue how the camera program/system operates, it was put in place without my knowledge, but it seems from the limited info customer gave me they just navigate to a URL, login and bam. He wants to avoid cables, the TV is a newer smart TV with bluetooth etc but the workstation he uses doesn't have built-in bluetooth. I think the best way to do this would be to buy a bluetooth dongle and chromecast, then cast the webpage or just use it as a second monitor depending on how the viewing is actually done. Other option would be to use an older workstation but I doubt they have any I could mount/hide where the TV is. Anyone have any other ideas?

Some security camera systems have support for DLNA. It can be worth checking to see if it does, then it's just a matter of enabling it and searching for the broadcast source on the TV.

Thanks Ants posted:Intel Compute Stick, not the Atom version. Pair it up with a wireless keyboard with a built-in trackpad thing and install the viewer software on it, maybe tweak it to auto run on boot etc. This is going to be the way to go here. Don’t use a chromecast if you can avoid it. You can easily configure the intel stick to auto-start a specific chrome website on boot. Patch management will be a thing if this is on a public network though. running and maintaining a full OS is unsustainable if this is a bigger shop with more than a handful of TVs like this. AMA about configuring a few hundred of these in my first IT job for digital signage. Stayed up till midnight formatting the drat things once and had my second shittiest manager ever bitch me out for not staying longer.

About 200 or them yeah. We used them for years and they held up well.. We shut them off at night though which did wonders for the lifespan and horrors for our windows patches. We got them for $99 a pop and treated them as disposable. for 24/7 digital signage we used iPads which we bolted to the wall to display the meeting room name: a single static image with no other features. We were also a Big Pharma ad agency and had approximately infinite money.

If you have to spec out a deployment, watch the bandwidth consumption. I don’t know what it is with DVR systems, but for sending video quality that looks like poo poo, it sure sucks up bandwidth. If someone views cameras at another site, it can easily take 9mbps out of a 10mbps link. Meanwhile two video conference units can talk at 1080p for around 2.

Speaking of phone systems, we're about to deploy 3CX to replace a garbage Toshiba system for 150 users. Using that sweet stimulus money! They school I left in March went on partial furlough today until July, it really sucks for an already-lean staff to be reduced to 16 hours a week during peak project time.
