NevergirlsOFFICIAL posted:will that let me do the thing I want to do Assuming your brute force attack is against common RDP ports then it would mitigate against that since it just operates over HTTPS. It depends on whether this is targeted or just a drive-by scan for open ports as to how effective it will be.

The method that lets me change things around on the network without having to touch multiple devices. Or just leave them all on DHCP on their own subnet and let DNS work it out

Sonicwalls are loving trash and even if replacing it doesn't fix your problems, at least you don't have a Sonicwall any more.

^ same. If they are insisting on Outlook then Google Apps Sync won't cut it because there will be stuff missing like stupid voting buttons and contacts delegation. If they are open minded then go with Google Apps. I have clients on both and all the ones with a startup mentality are on Google Apps and only use a browser or the Gmail app on phones to access their mail. They never have issues. The ones that have come from large law or financial firms and insist on Outlook are using it like they still have an on-premise Exchange server run by a 10-person messaging team, so they load the thing up with a dozen delegated calendars and get frustrated when things get out of sync.

ThinkingPhones, 8x8, any number of BroadCloud partners. I think it massively depends on where you're located as latency is obviously a potential issue, and any on-site element that's required will vary by region as to how competent they are.

If you want a Sonicwall then get the TZ SOHO since the 105 is ancient now. I'm not really sure that what you're doing needs anything fancy though - presumably you're just going to block all inbound traffic and only allow outbound to your provider, and don't need QoS since the connection is only for phones to use.

I can't see a use case that would require anything above a basic router with NAT and ACL support but if you already work with Sonicwalls and you know them then it's probably worth a few hundred to keep some consistency. One of the VoIP suppliers we work with puts little Juniper SRX110s out for this sort of usage and they seem to work really well.

Yeah if you try it yourself then someone will gently caress up and you'll get your actual used-for-business domain blacklisted.

They are really powerful and can do pretty much anything you'd want them to - including stuff like VRRP, VRF (coming soon), dynamic routing etc. But they are a totally different use model to a DrayTek - no DSL modems built in, no USB port for a 3G dongle and things like that. The DrayTek units have their central management server as well which you might use if you're an MSP. It really depends on how good the team that are supporting these things are, and whether you just resell the connections or have a management VLAN provisioned alongside the Internet connectivity.

If Virgin can give you ~1Mbps of private connectivity on each of the connections you resell then you can make yourself a management interface on the Ubiquiti routers to make up for the lack of central management. Alternatively you can enable management from the WAN side and just restrict it to your office. They are text-based configurations so easy enough to template and write scripts to configure the WAN and LAN addresses for each deployment and then have a common set of config for default firewall rules, QoS settings etc.

Get the Lite rather than the X or SFP if you want a small box for testing. It runs the same software but the console port is really handy if you gently caress up because you won't have to start over each time.

Block ActiveSync except to the Outlook app, enforce policies in the Office 365 apps to ensure content can only move around between those apps. Call it a day. No we don't support your iCloud account.

I am trying to make the only MS licensing I deal with stuff like Office 365 that is impossible to be under-licensed on. I am happy for our connectivity provider to build and maintain their own VMware environment and have SPLA handle the Windows licensing.

If you work for people who are tight though you end up running Exchange 2007 a decade later on an old HP Gen5 with a SAS shelf attached because, "it works fine why do you need to waste money?". That's not an option on 365.

You can create a domain and move DNS/DHCP across to AD-joined servers without actually going around and binding all of your clients, things will just carry on as they were before. So you don't need to rush around to get things migrated as such. I'd definitely take it slowly if you haven't done it before, get it labbed out etc.

Probably quite poorly, I haven't tried to use G Suite with the email stuff disabled. A service that only does files is likely going to be a better fit for you.

I tested Okta once and they didn't support changing the dashboard timezone so it wasn't showing all log events in UTC-08:00. Sort of gave up on it after that.

Keep an eye on your MS licensing because it's easy to subscribe to mutiple different products and end up spending more than something like EMS would cost you. https://business.microsoft.com/en-gb/products/enterprise-mobility-suite

Poor leadership is using it as an excuse, but UK companies being led like utter poo poo and refusing to invest have been a problem for loving ages. £3k is less than the cost of a person for a month, to make 60 people more productive. Any cost/benefit analysis would provide the answer that the upgrades are A Good Idea. lovely managers with their 1980s methods are the problems here, and a desire to spend as little as possible to look good to the people above them.
