I just took the last 2003 server in our environment down, and the VP of IT asked me this afternoon to run the numbers for a new fleet of Dell Precision workstations with 8-16 GB RAM and SSDs. I feel really bad now after reading the last page of this thread.

Nah, it's a fairly small shop. The company's only about a hundred people, more than half of which are network and voice guys. So the VP of IT is really "executive for 65% of the company".

There's two pots lines left in my environment and both are fax machines. I've had enough hell with the fax machine + ATA + SIP trunk combo that I'm okay with still having them.

I'm doing a migration for a customer next month where I get to kill an SBS box.

Secret Server works well but the licensing model is... questionable. Your user account licenses are separate from your per-user support licenses, but the user account licenses don't activate if there aren't an equal number of support licenses.

Now I'm hoping our label maker craps out so we can get one of those.

email/calendar/etc - Office 365 end user hardware - don't really care as long as they're all the same vendor and that vendor isn't Lenovo file storage - OneDrive im and internal video conf - uhhh honestly my experience is almost entirely with Cisco so I'm not opposed to WebEx Teams external video conf - fine we'll do WebEx phones - we're already buying everyone a laptop they're inevitably going to cryptolocker, might as well give them an iphone they can make homegroan with accounting - not a bean counter, don't ask me legacy database that has no easy saas equivalent - VM in Azure, RDG to that helpdesk - anything but spiceworks, and not OTRS unless it's my helpdesk and I'm selling them a juicy MSA for five years huge archive files -

Yeah I don't think you can pass an ICC profile for an RDP session through or something like that, so that's right out.

Moey posted:Look into Meraki as well. A Z3 would probably fit your needs for a firewall that can take a USB LTE modem for failover. They are pretty cheap and dead simple to manage. List price on a Z3 + 10 years of licensing (which is probably longer than it'll be in support for / than Cisco will keep the brand alive for) is $1395 USD, which means that actual pricing is probably half that. That's pretty drat cheap for what you need.

Synology folks: A DS418j is just a DS418 with half the RAM and a 32-bit SoC instead of a 64-bit one, right? I've got a 418j with a dead bay that I need to do a HDD migration to a 418 with and I'm pretty sure they're the same chassis with a different SoC but I'm only like, 90% positive.

Our HRIS automatically sends an email to our service desk when HR marks someone as resigned/terminated. If someone gets shitcanned and the email doesn't come through, it's because HR hasn't done their job right, and it's always a beautiful day when you can make HR the scapegoat.

Thanks Ants posted:If you want a nicer experience you can try Universal Print, assuming Xerox have some integration with that. I think the way it's licensed is a bit mad though. I should tell my sysadmin about this. Our print infrastructure has always been a total shitshow and I think some of the execs are still complaining about the shoddy printers on their floor at HQ because our GPO based solution has proven kind of temperamental ever since full WFH started.
