The web interface for Outlook is poo poo compared to Gmail in terms of speed, but Outlook is awful at accessing Gmail accounts so it depends on what type of user you have - are they all familiar with Outlook and people joining the company have to learn how to use Gmail? If nobody has started piling documents into Google Drive then a migration makes sense. G Suite is really good at certain things, but the complete lack of support for shared mailboxes (that don't consume a license) is always a bit annoying, especially if you have a high turnover with people on work experience or whatever and want to keep their mailboxes around for a few months.

There’s an install flag for office that makes this a little easier, not sure how it would shake out if you’re using the windows subscription licensing from Microsoft365.

You can use Shared Computer Activation on Office 365 ProPlus, the apps bundled with an E3/E5 subscription, or Microsoft 365 Business Premium. The activation happens automatically if you're logged in at a user with the license (and you're syncing your AD with Azure and have enabled SSO) and the token is stored in the user profile or a location of your choice. If you have fewer computers than staff (and no requirement for people to install the apps at home) then subscribing to the apps doesn't really make sense - just get volume licenses for Office and use Exchange Online for the email.

Somehow management thinks we can save money by moving over 25K employees from O365 to G Suite. Pilot went live today. Migration costs alone kill the "potential" cost savings, not to mention retraining 25K employees, modifying business processes, and a thousand other things I can think of.

angry armadillo posted:Probably shouldn't admit this here, I'm not a project manager, I'm an engineer but I'm taking on all the project work for my team as a development thing. I'm aiming to join the PM team post covid if I do my homework I can tell you, from both a computer toucher perspective and an executives, a good PM is absolutely invaluable. As much as a mediocre PM can destroy a project, a good PM can absolutely make the difference in a project. I only have 1 PM on my team, but she literally makes our department function 100% better than before she was here. From running a 15 million dollar project, to managing a Teams rollout for 300 users, everything is easier with a good PM. Unfortunately, the really good ones are rare, so if you like it and are good at it you will always have a job.

Windows search gets really fun in non-persistent VDI. You either turn off Windows search to avoid the issues, which is a poo poo user experience. You leave it on, which is then a poo poo experience for the first several hours of the user using the machine as it builds a search cache. Or you use one of the assorted ways to roam the windows search cache... the one I've tried (Appsense/Ivanti) would randomly break, leaving a broken search cache which would mess up Windows search in general.

Always disabled it in my non-persistent VDI setups. Like you said, too buggy and there were no good solutions. FSLogix seems to doing a good job so far. The profile (including index cache) is a VHD that gets attached / detatched.

FISHMANPET posted:Apologies if you're already aware of this, but Ctrl+Alt+End will send a "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" through a remote session, does that key combo bring up the menu that allows a password change? It's not RDP directly, it's through the browser using Guacamole. That doesn't work in Guacamole. We've also disabled the Guacamole on screen keyboard, and using the on screen keyboard in windows just displays a pop-up stating that that key combo is disabled. We've apparently got it locked down pretty good. Up until recently I had just created a link to the shell command for users to bring up the security menu but apparently someone must have blocked that too, but nobody is fessing up. At this point I think I'm gonna do something dumb like use a website (like Passcore) and go through the PAINFUL steps of getting it approved. Thanks for the reply though.

I have the laziest coworker that I've ever had to deal with. Wants to outsource thinking to other people, can't even follow instructions, just declares something to have not worked without trying. On the plus side, when they come to me for help and I ask them to define the problem, what they would consider a resolution to be, and to write down what they have tried so far, their laziness prevents them from being bothered to do that, so I don't have to actually get involved with anything.

Internet Explorer posted:Type Windows Update, nothing shows up. poo poo drives me crazy. I've probably ranted about it a few times in this thread already, but I just CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW such a simple feature is so utterly broken. I just can't. I can drop a .desktop file in a folder in my home and Plasma will _immediately_ pick it up despite io watch functionality being profoundly broken on Linux. Windows just blows up randomly, can't find things despite substring matches, despite word for word matches. For fucks sake, Plasma even finds aliases in .desktop files and different translations, instantly. How is Windows so bad at this, it doesn't make sense. They are the ones who have the resources to build this properly and robustly, they should absolutely nail this. This has been going on for YEARS now. HOW. HOW HOW HOW HOW HOW?!

Thanatosian posted:You can stick that on the same pile with "sleep & hibernate features" of "things Microsoft hasn't really ever been able to get right." Oh yeah, I found that Windows now disables WOL when it goes to sleep. So I can wake a PC via WOL, then I have a short window to log in, and if it goes to sleep it drops off the net. My Linux workstation goes to sleep just fine and wakes up. I didn't have to gently caress around with any settings, it works ootb. I just want to repeat this: My Linux workstation does sleep ootb, better than Windows. Everything is wrong.

welp. I was literally walking out for lunch and my boss roped me into a Webex with Barney the Dinosaur from IBM Spectrum Virtualize. He seems pretty nice, but I'm hungry and really don't want to sit here and listen to a salesman explain to my boss what a SAN is. If I hear 'Personal Cloud" one more time I quit.
