Re: Moving to FTTH

Be prepared for the link to change again, as it seems to move around every few months, but yes lovely and precise!

Re: Now I understand

Hangon what, who is stupid enough to stick their support details on information sheets like that.

If they can't read press [Windows] Key and [P] and click "Connect to a wireless Display" or plugin the HDMI cable then they can't work out a telephone.

Re: The first domino?

Depends on the setup, I managed 98% uptime at my worst, but then it was a few Windows servers and not the infrastructure I wanted (i.e Lotus Domino made it super simple to replicate everything to a backup server or a server dedicated for webmail. All could be controlled through Notes networks, which no-one I spoke to ever knew wtf it was, often setup for dialup and never updated). Also had to deal with fighting for resources on the SAN, in the end I found using the inbuilt NSF compression lowered I/O requirements and the Blade had more than enough CPU resources that actually made it faster to respond. Never did use the de duplication (I did find in testing that was a problem)

I really did like Notes 9 when released, but at the time it was bloated and wasn't Outlook and I can't make people like Notes just because I did.

Yes but no good if you can't access anything.

I couldn't access anything (Windows Laptop and Android handset) thanks to the global corp using Microsoft Authenticator, not mentioned but this wasn't working either.

Lovely morning, because I couldn't auth with Microsoft MFA, my VPN would connect but refuse to auth further, I couldn't access the internet because the Proxy software used couldn't authenticate me.

Also as per usual the Microsoft status website showed no issues until after 8AM, couldn't get through to helldesk so I was very confused (Although that is becoming more normal these days).

Yet again a morning of whinging at yet another single point of failure.

Re: What a load of cobblers

No unfortunatley, although 15 years ago we had a less assertive Mrs Doyle who did lunches at the head office.

Friday was bacon sarnie day (Microwaved but well it was supplied by the company so)

Re: What a load of cobblers

One thing I hate is people going around with a tin or cakes, often they go these need to be eaten and not accepting no thank you, I often say no about 5 times until they get the message.
