I have never seen this before. Interesting.

@Kyle said in Large File Sharing:

@hobbit666 Large files, 200-900 Gb design files.

Then file sharing is the wrong term here.

OK. I will bite. What is the correct term?

@Nic said in Sysadmin opening at Automox - Boulder, CO:

It's local only, since there's a lot of in-office duties

We shall see if it remains local only.

@JaredBusch said in Large File Sharing:

Correct moving to online editing is the only solution. Get away from legacy sharing concepts is what is required.

Piggy-backing. What if these files are larger media files like, psd, ai, jpg, raw and even video? Do you know of something that works well (for at least the still image media)?

We have cellular in the bus. He wants syncing to occur when they are connected to Wifi which I have to figure out

Is cellular for the guests use via wifi?

Yes. Quoted comment was in relation to the bus being parked when not in use. Once it connects to the HQ wireless network it can sync. This would actually be a great ansible project I'd think

Wow - the cellular bill must be huge..

In such case you just buy unlimited data plan, making sure there's no bullshit fine print saying unlimited for first 2 or 3GB then fallback to 2G or similar crap.

Who offers these plans?

@flaxking said in PowerShell - Using Variables to Delete SMTP Proxy Addresses in AD:

Did you test your string creation on its own?

I have not and am not exactly sure how to.

@flaxking said in PowerShell - Using Variables to Delete SMTP Proxy Addresses in AD:

Probably either

"smtp:$($GivenName).$($Surname)@$($Domain)"

Or

('smtp:' + $GivenName + '.' + $Surname '@' + $Domain)

The first option yields the same results. The second, errors out.

I am trying to create a script that will allow me to delete an SMTP proxy address on an AD user object, after prompting for some info. I have this, but it doesn't want to create the smtp address using the variables-

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
$SamAccountName = Read-Host -Prompt "SamAccountName"
$Domain = Read-Host -Prompt "Type the domain of the address you wish to DELETE"
$GivenName = Get-ADUser -Identity "$SamAccountName" -Properties GivenName | Select-Object GivenName
$Surname = Get-ADUser -Identity "$SamAccountName" -Properties Surname | Select-Object Surname

Set-ADUser -Identity $SamAccountName `
           -Remove @{proxyAddresses="smtp:$GivenName.$Surname@$Domain"} `
           -Replace @{telephonenumber="8"}

If I Write-Host on Set-ADUser, I get -

Set-ADUser -Identity jacks -Remove System.Collections.DictionaryEntry -Replace System.Collections.DictionaryEntry

Obviously, it isn't getting the correct attributes to build out the address.

If I run the Get-ADUser commands by themselves, it outputs the correct info.

Get-ADUser -Identity "$SamAccountName" -Properties GivenName | Select-Object GivenName

GivenName

Jack  

Where am I screwing up?
