One of the issues was that we don't need the ability to allow end users multiple Office installs and that we'd have to go balls deep and also get Visio and Project since we use those often in the org, and apparently you can't install 365 along a local copy of Visio or Project.

There are some issues between the Click To Run versions of O365 office software and MSI based installs of Visio/Project. I'm phone posting so I'm not mentioning details but there's plenty of info out there about it

You cannot install the Office 365 software (Click-to-Run) alongside any of the MSI based software (source). I have to deal with this on my work computer and am forced to use Visio in a VM. A better alternative would be a RemoteApp.

Boxed copies are Click-to-Run as well which might be why people didn't have an issue. Volume License isn't. If you have Office 365 for your desktop apps then just add Visio and/or Project for the people that need it, unless you have a load of investment in licenses and aren't planning to upgrade any time soon.

God drat it, Win10 driver autoupdates. Most of the updated device drivers are fine, but god drat it the MS auto-updated driver for Device X keeps freaking breaking X. I have found that I have to disable Additional Product Updates to keep Good X Driver from being shat upon. There isn't a way to selectively say, "Dear Windows Update: update all the devices except X" without wsus, is there?

We currently have 4 remote locations that we're trying to 'bring into the fold' as it were. The locations all have 1-2 PCs each and standard residential cable internet access. We would like to be able to: setup a VPN, deploy a single VOIP phone at each location, manage the network, provide some protection (IDS/IPS, content filtering) and have some monitoring and reporting capabilities. To this end, we're looking at Meraki gear. It looks like we would need a Z1 at each of the remote sites, and then something like an MX64 back at our main location. Anyone here have any experience with this setup and Meraki gear in general? I know that they pretty much turn to bricks if you dont keep them licensed, but it's not really my money and they look like they'll do everything we're looking for.

We don't actually have any Z1s but on the firewalls site to site VPNs are like a two click process. I believe the Meraki support site has example configs for using ASAs as VPN endpoints too if you don't want to go with Z1s. Meraki works well for us because we have eight offices in five states up to 1000 miles apart and only two full time IT staff. As you've pointed out though licensing is the big drawback but if you're in a position to go all Meraki all the way like we did, it can work quite well. I'd never run it in a full blown enterprise situation but if you fit the intended audience for their stuff it's quite nice. Advanced security licensing is ridiculous though last I checked. Edit yeah the support site has example configs for ASAs... using ASDM!

One of my subordinates from a remote office bought the Merakis when I specifically told him not to... they are expensive as gently caress but yeah I guess they'll work and they have some little remote-worker-vpn kits. The other thing is they upsold him on some loving Meraki security router too, and he disconnected my precious Peplink which does a whole bunch of things better than Cisco could dream of.

That should work fine, we use Z1 for some of our teleworker setups with an MX80 back at HQ. Only annoying thing is that the Z1 had no PoE for voip phones.

We have about 10 smaller remote sites connected via Meraki VPN. It is boring how simple it is. We also are running Meraki APs and access layer switches everywhere else. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions Mr Clark.

Does anyone have any cool ideas or good resources for things I can try and do in Office 365's sharepoint? I've never used it before and my impression is that it's just a big scary CMS, is that about right?

I'm not a fan of SharePoint, but it does get a bad wrap from terrible installations and people trying to make it do poo poo it wasn't designed to do. A proper install, and using it for it's designed purposes, it's not that bad.

Any time you look at the Office 365 portal you can guarantee SharePoint will be yellow. In 2016 it still only really works properly in IE. One of the IT ranting threads had a bit about the database schema in it and how it's horrifically designed. If you just want a document store then wait until the consumer OneDrive sync engine rolls into team sites.

You can build document workflows in it, integrate it with Office and use it as an alternative to keeping things like HR policy documentation in folder shares and having to name things "v4 NEW.docx" since it does versioning etc. for you. I'm sure well thought out and implemented SharePoint installations do exist, it's just that I've only ever seen bad ones.

SharePoint seems to play really really nice (on paper) with everything AD and Windows-related which is a big bonus for a Windows shop. I've heard good things about Confluence too though, good suggestion.

The best example I saw was a manufacturing company that pulled live production data and put it into a nice dashboard. It pulled data from HR so if there was a problem it'd show which manager was in charge, their number and changed with their shifts. Sharepoint isn't bad but there's a ton of technical overhead and quickly becomes a full-time job.

Yes they can connect to non-Meraki VPN peers. I have not done any testing (as we use all Meraki gear for VPN tunnels), but looking at the config section on the Z1 (as well as other Meraki firewalls), it seems pretty straight forward.

Permissions on documents are still a huge clusterfuck, templating doesn't really exist, the web based editor would have been somewhat decent in 2010, the search is bad on good days, and terrible as soon as something permission based breaks down - which is like two weeks after you go in production with a Sharepoint site.

It's me, and it sucks. Fortunately it's not terribly mission critical and is really just kind of a basic staff intranet/document repository. SP 2010 was installed back in the day by some guys that no longer work here, and was never cared for or very well documented. The servers were P2V'd at some point, and when I came on board the MSI installers of sharepoint were somehow corrupt and won't accept sharepoint Windows Updates or sharepoint service packs. The Metalogix migration expert tool seems to work fairly well for stripping out the good data and discarding all the custom-form detritus, so the plan is to migrate the data to Sharepoint 2016 whenever it releases. Can't wait!
