When you click a folder, e.g. the sent items that you mention, it probably says 'updating this folder' at the bottom right of outlook. Sent items is second in line to the inbox and inbox subfolders. That's a serious amount of PST files dotted around the place. How did anybody let a place grow to...

Done a good few of these. It's slow due to 365's throttling but it has never failed or needed intervention with caches etc. Bear in mind that the throttling is imposed on your tenant, not just per mailbox, so while importing 1 or 2 mailboxes will be slow as it is, doing multiple of them will...

Exclaimer.

Skykick yes. Unbelievably easy to get configured, mailbox restore options are a bit limited though. I use it myself but haven't too many customers on their mailbox backup subscription; on the other hand I don't do any onedrive for business/sharepoint deployments without it. You can get the two...

Why even a NAS - join all machines to Azure AD, giving you centralised user accounts and passwords, and get each user on 365 business essentials minimum (or 365 business premium preferably) and just create a sharepoint site that gets synced to each PC via onedrive. It'll just look like a shared...

Cloudberry MBS as mentioned by nightmare99 above. They have different flavours eg straightforward file backup, SQL and Exchange agents, will back up both physical and VM's. It will do Azure-only or local+Azure hybrid, using blob storage. It's maybe not as polished or as reliable as Azure Backup...

I'd be interested in any opinions on this too, as more and more people are bringing up the same subject thinking they can go all-cloud just as you say. AzureAD is nowhere near the equivalent of full AD, it's suitable only in certain cases imho, and in those cases it works well to be fair. The...

Two Synology NAS units have this feature built in - check out the Cloud Station app. Install Cloud Station on your remote NAS and Cloud Station client on the local NAS, and the interface is pretty easy to figure out. If you want to delve a bit deeper you could set a scheduled task within the...

What age/model is the scanner? Server 2012/Windows 8 has changed the spec of SMB, and I've found that a lot of older scanners can't scan to it. Some devices have had firmware updates released since 2012 has come out, but many haven't. I'm nearly certain this will be the problem if you've already...

May as well dig up this thread as start a new one, as the advice has been useful so far and relevant for another couple of queries I have. I've implemented 3 setups as per the above suggestions since discussing everything those few months ago. Rough spec of 2x 300Gb 10k SAS in RAID 1 for host...

That's good news re. not needing another set of CAL's for a second Server 2012 licence, so it's 'only' about £700 for another Open licence for it. I would rather not have a third server running though, it seems like overkill for a relatively small setup. Any other opinions on Exchange existing...

Point noted re. IOPS. I was thinking it would be better to isolate Exchange database activity and general TS usage from LOB SQL database work in case one feature wants to gobble up all the IOPS for itself. But I guess that this would not be giving the maximum performance possible if one aspect...

SBS 2011 is not available on Open Licensing any more, the only option is OEM until December. I was under the impression that OEM software is a bit of a grey area when using in a VM environment, so I want to stick to Open Licensing. If they want a DR solution at some stage down the line at least...

I'm quoting a client for replacing their SBS 2003 platform (which also has a second Server 2003 hosting terminal services). I'm going to run two virtual servers on two 600Gb RAID 1 arrays (decent RAID card, processors and RAM already catered for). I'm just wanting to check that this is the...

Great reading in this thread. Looking for a bit of advice. We are staying in SF for 3 nights in July (Thur-Sat), then the Sunday night in Monterey, have 4 nights in between undecided, then ending with 3 nights in San Diego (Fri-Sun), leaving for home on Monday morning. Hiring a car on the...

I had to pull out my DisplayPort cable for another job, and replaced it with a HDMI cable, and since doing so get random cases of fuzzy text on web pages. Scrolling or moving the mouse over the text usually fixes it, or just moves the fuzziness to another part of the screen. I have a AMD...

Well they've just indicated they would like to have a second screen set up indoors in a similar way. I think an auto-refreshing page would be a good approach, provided the browser built into the TV can handle WMV files. Syph - was this a solution you put together yourselves, or something...

Ok Haggisman that's a thought - will the browsers built into these TV's be able to handle web pages with embedded WMV files OK?

I have been asked to look into options for someone who wants to have a TV out the front of their building that will have a link back to their network. Once every day or two, they want the ability for someone with basic I.T. knowledge to be able to update the image displayed on the TV with...

Stay in Funchal, the capital, and if car hire's not your thing you can easily get buses from there to the east and west of the island, amazing scenery. Look for bus tour companies out on the street, don't use any that the hotel or travel operator try and throw at you as they're about twice the...
