Question -
company's IP phones/voice managed by 3rd party.  No PBX on-site.  
Is SIP Trunking still required for the calls or its just calling over the Internet?

I have recently purchased a APC Back-UPS CS 500 to support a small system. I have a new Samsung CF390 curved monitor
but for the life of me cannot see how I can connect it so it is supported by the ups.

Does anybody no if there a way as there is no point in supporting the tower if the monitor will go off.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

I have a couple of 9260-8i raid HBA cards in different servers and would like to extend them beyond the default 8 drives.  The docs talk about an extender/expander hardware option but I've never gotten a clear idea of what it is, much less where to buy one.  

Thanks!

I have a lenovo a10-70f that only boots into recovery mode. I choose a command and I get the dead android logo with a triangle coming out of its stomach with a caption "no command"

My diagnostic is that the OS updated and screwed up, I've seen it similarly before with Google Play soft-bricking the entire tablet.

There is an option to update from from, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the original android image for this device? And where can I get a copy of the fastboot adb.sh file? I had it a while ago, and I lost it when my server mobo died.

Hi,
I am testing the deployment of BITLOCKER via GPO.
For the moment I want to just encrypt the fixed drives without using TPM
I have created a TEST OU and moved a single computer to it.
I have created a GPO and edited/activated the following
Computer Configuration>Administrative Templates>Windows Components>BITLOCKER encryption
I have activated the following
Control the use of BITLOCKER on fixed drives:ACTIVE
Configure the encryption on the hardware level on the fixed drives:ACTIVE
Select the recovery method for recovery of fixed drives using BITLOCKER: ACTIVE
The rest is not configured.
Please note that I have the GUI in french so the translation might not be exact.

I have applied the GPO to the TEST OU
run gpupdate /force on the only computed within the OU
Restarted the computer
The GPO does not seem to apply
manage-bde -status and the bitlocker mmc show the the bitlocker DISACTIVE

What am I doing wrong or what do i need to add?
Please help.

Are there any compatibilty issues with OPAL drives?

Hi,
I need to know hardware information of a remote Dell PowerEdge R510.
I can access to this host through vSphere (VMware version: 4.1)
For example, I see 4 GB RAM (total), but I don't know if it's a single memory module or two.
Similarly, I see "Dell Serial Attached SCSI Disk" - capacity 227.25 GB, but I don't know if it is a single disk or a raid volume (and in case, what kind of RAID).
I need this to evaluate how can I upgrade hardware resources (maximum RAM and storage space), and which ESXi version could I install.
Thank you!

p.s. obviously, I have no iDRAC access.

I had this question after viewing how to reformat 520 byte/sector to 512 byte/sector.

I am having the same problem.  Can anyone assist with the links? They are no longer active. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello,

I'm thinking to buy one of those 2 mobos:

MSI Z170A GAMING PRO
MSI Z270 SLI PLUS

I can't find a big difference between them although the price difference is around $30, can you enlighten me if there are something I'm missing?

I'm upgrading from MSI H170 Gaming M3 to a motherboard that supports SLI.

Processor: i5-6500 (Going to upgrade to i7 later)

Best regards,

We need to migrate about 60 VMs on 15TB of storage from one vCenter cluster to a new one. Both clusters will be on the same management / VM subnet (10.0.0.0/16 - latency < 1ms) - basically, we are just upgrading / replacing the hardware within the same physical datacenter because it is nearly five years old.

The old vCenter cluster consists of three hosts and a 3PAR SAN (7200). It is running vSphere 5.5 Standard.

The new vCenter cluster also will consist of three hosts and has a Nimble SAN (CS3000). It will run vSphere 6.5 (probably Enterprise Plus).

On each cluster, the SAN network (FC) is local to the cluster itself - so, one cluster cannot "see" the other cluster's SAN (each cluster has its own FC switches). The vMotion VMkernel network on the old cluster (192.168.100.0/24), however, could be made visible on the new cluster via vLAN (i.e. the new cluster could use that same subnet for its vMotion VMkernel, with three unique 192.168.100.x addresses).

What would be the easiest and best way to migrate VMs from the old cluster to the new? Ideally, we'd like to be able to storage-vmotion from the old to the new, but doubt that that would be possible (as the two clusters would not be able to see each others datastores - would they?)...

Br,

I have an HP Laserjet, CP2025dn, and it is printing off slightly in the vertical direction ... and only in Black. See attached Photo ...
Does anyone happen to know if there is a adjustment or fix for this? I replaced the Black Cartridge and no change.

I'm getting rid of a Lasterjet 1320 and am about to hook up a Laserjet Pro M203. HP printers can be tricky to install. With the 1320, you can neither install nor uninstall drivers when the USB is connected. However, I just got off a chat with HP wherein they insisted that I should hook up the new M203 to USB BEFORE I run the disk with the driver. Anyone know which is it. Rule of thumb with most hardware is, install the driver then connect it with whatever connection, USB, snap in etc. Thanks.

I have this huge screen sitting next to me.  Is it possible to utilize it as an extra remote computer.  Remote Desktop to it and see a large design blueprints?  Need a large screen to see design documents.  I see it has an Ethernet port.
