You can also use the copy items syntax from Powershell. That's what I would do.

That would be my solution as well. Another alternative is rsync, but I'm not sure whether it can preserve file attributes on NTFS file systems. It's the standard solution on UNIX (including Linux and Mac) systems. -----Original Message----- From: Timothy Spaulding <spaulding(a)icanbrew.com> Sent: Thursday, January 3, 2019 3:55 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: Xcopy question My favorite utility for something like this where you want the exact same contents on y:\utilities as you have on x:\utilities is robocopy: Robocopy x:\utilityes y:\utilities /mir The /mir switch will mirror the source to the target.

Re: setting username format in Microsoft exchange?

Hey Andrew, Thanks so much for your help and guidance on where to check. Kind Regards -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson <andrew(a)hodgson.io> Sent: Sunday, 30 December 2018 11:37 PM To: Blind sysadmins list <blind-sysadmins(a)lists.hodgsonfamily.org> Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] Re: setting username format in Microsoft exchange? Hi, The best way to check this stuff out is to use the Outlook Autodiscover test tool - from within Outlook use ctrl key whilst right clicking on the Outlook item in the systray - it works with JFW systray explorer. When in there you can test different ways that Outlook does Autodiscover including HTTP/S for Exchange. However in summary you usually have to authenticate twice to the system if your machine is outside the domain or you use Office365, once to auth into the Autodiscover service itself and then you have to reply to an NTLM challenge prompt to auth into Exchange RPC. Its been ages since I did this stuff but seem to remember this part as its not the best to get it right.

Hi, You should be able to log in via just the username part, but the best idea is to set a UPN that is the same as your email domain and then create a UPN to match the username of the email address. This is done automatically if you created your AD domain with the same domain as your email address, i.e, company.com, but if you used company.local you need to go through the steps of adding company.com as a trusted UPN in Active Directory and setting the users to use it.

Accessible backup solution?
by Zameer Mahomed 29 Dec '18

29 Dec '18

Hi Listers, Hope all are well. Firstly, I'd like to thank the people who replied to my question regarding accessibility of networking equipment, I've gone with a mix of Ubiquiti and mikrotik. As I continue with my lab, I have come to the point of where I have setup a few virtual machines and would like to back them up. Ideally, I'd like to manage the backups from one location and remotely if possible. I've heard of software like Veeam, Acronis, Backup Exec, DLO etc, but would like to know which backup software do you use with regard to accessibility? I've tried veeam, but it doesn't seem like the most pleasant interface to use. The agent on windows doesn't seem to bad though. I don't have any complicated setups, all these backups will be stored on a NAS. Your help would be much appreciated. Kind Regards
