https://swytechnotes.wordpress.com/2016/05/20/in-regret-of-auto-voip
SWY's technical notes. Relevant mostly to OS X admins. In regret of Auto-VoIP. On May 20, 2016. Due to a remodeling project at work, it came to be that I needed to provide temporary Ethernet drops to a lot of areas that weren’t designed to have a human and a VoIP phone sitting there. To make this happen, we added 8 Netgear GSTP110TP. Bring firmware current (who wants to troubleshoot something potentially fixed in last week’s update? You don’t really want to do this. The Auto-VoIP automatically makes sure...

SWY's technical notes. Relevant mostly to OS X admins. Monthly Archives: April 2016. Synology DSM 6, indexing and Advanced Permissions. On April 28, 2016. A common question in my office has been “Why can’t we search the file server with Spotlight? 8221; Since our migration to a Synology for AFP/SMB services I had no good solution to offer to this query, so I was very pleased to see this as a feature in DSM6- see “Mac Finder Integration” on their File Sharing and Management. As I publish this, the indexin...

SWY's technical notes. Relevant mostly to OS X admins. Monthly Archives: December 2016. A fix for high idle CPU use in Outlook 2016 15.28. On December 2, 2016. I recently noticed a displeasing behavior of Outlook 2016: while idle, in the background, it was taking up an unacceptable amount of CPU time:. I started digging around the #microsoft-office channel in the MacAdmins slack team. And was provided with this workaround that has solved it in every situation we’ve tried:. Start a new email.

SWY's technical notes. Relevant mostly to OS X admins. Monthly Archives: April 2015. Why you can’t always trust the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). On April 29, 2015. Late last year, I started on a project to replace my workplace’s main AFP/SMB/NFS file storage. Due to already having good experiences with Synology gear, knowing DSM well, and knowing other macadmins happy with their Synos, I ordered storage and built a system that should perform quite well:. 10 HGST 7k4000 4TB drives. 16 Gigs ECC RAM.

As is now expected on MacOS, the proper route to accomplish this goal is with a Profile. With some guidance via documentation shared by Eric Franklin. 8221; hit me: “could this be behaving oddly because it’s a VM? Turns out, the answ...
