schestowitz"You either pay with licensing or hire a team to support. There’s no free as in beer, anywhere. At least once you get beyond some guy’s single Linux Mint install on his personal laptop, but not at any complex scale. Active Directory, support (licensing), these things are needed, hiring and maintaining a competent team is most often more expensive than licensing. Ubuntu is setup to compete here, but you do lose some things over going withNov 10 13:29

schestowitzstarted researching possible caused for the access issues, but "gotoassist" search results are mostly marketing and not much application troubleshooting, though I suppose as paying clients of theirs we can open an inquiry with them for support/help in case we get stuck.Nov 10 18:38
schestowitzI suppose xxxx knew what to do after the reboot to make the machine remoately accessible us.Nov 10 18:38
schestowitzTo be frank, they use unsupported Vista and we don't have patches for their EoL Debian. We really need to upgrade these machines and rethink how we access these. At the moment it's mostly 'security theatre' due to arcane GE policies.Nov 10 18:38

schestowitzI will be faaaaaaaaaaar more careful from now on. I apologise. In the case of EPO I kept a separate file for things that could not be shared, even in redacted form, until a year later. Some things are still secret and may become handy one day (mostly Office gossip). Maybe I can share these files one day if I feel an illness poses risk to their possession and retention. I also have lots of legal docs and some unpublished drafts (on files).Nov 10 18:58
