Re: [Micronet] FileMaker 14 Server Hardware
Re: "...a building generator, so I only have to supply UPS power for under 60 seconds." This reminds me of a local city that I support that also has a generator. Unfortunately, when a person accidentally trips a circuit breaker, the generator doesn't "kick in". And since the circuit only supported a few servers, nobody noticed until the UPS ran down. Darn. We hadn't setup the email service to notify someone when a low-power ups event happened. Re: "...initial cost of the equipment is not the whole story." We are definitely on the same page here. There a bunch of other costs associated with hardware. My example was meant to show that the monthly rental of a VPS is essentially the same as the cost of just the box. This, of course, is for a basic, single function, not heavily used server - which is exactly what the O.P. was asking about. And thanks for pointing out the other "campus context" - that is, grant money with strings attached.

Re: [Micronet] FileMaker 14 Server Hardware
The biggest point, in the campus context, is that your building is not a data center. This means a bunch of things, here are two: 1) Campus IT resource allocation after "something" happens is going to heavily favor the data center. 2) Maintenance decisions related to power are managed differently - meaning plans aspire towards hours or minutes, rather than days.

Unfortunately, IST charges $100/mo for that. Since I use RDP to connect to the FM admin console, it quite easy for me to take care of the updates and such.

Re: [Micronet] SPA bDrive for large archive of small data files
And... the Box and Drive sync's are meant to be two-way, so that you could have one or more local mirrors of your cloud storage. It sounds like what you're looking for is an archiving function. Consider looking at backup software that can communicate with cloud storage. There is probably one that works with Box or Google.

This is from community.*box.com <http://box.com>*, dated 12-16-2014: Unsupported Use Cases: We do not support syncing more than 40,000 files. The sync client works optimally when around 10,000 files are being synced. And on the *Google Drive* forum, there is a long discussion that has run for 2 yrs (ending last month) of people having issues syncing large numbers of files (seems like most of them are using the Windows version of Drive, so OSX results might be different).

Re: [Micronet] SPA bDrive for large archive of small data files
Sorry Greg, I guess I misunderstood your original post. It sounded like you have a local library (was that the "Bag of Holding") that you wanted to put "into the cloud". Once it is in the cloud (bDrive or Box, in this case), are you saying that you don't want to have the local library? I was confused because you mentioned "additive rsync" which implies staff are putting the files into a local library and then you want to have those uploaded to the cloud. At least, that's the way I saw it.

Re: [Micronet] bDrive, change doc ownership
For reference, I did submit the question to bConnected and this created a ticket. From my research, it appears that the options are: 1) Have the original owner transfer ownership to another account. This is the easiest and could be incorporated in the off-boarding process. So when an employee gives notice, the transfer of ownership of dept files from box and google can be part of the process. 2) My researched noted that the google admin could change ownership of selected files. This would imply that the bConnected group should be able to do this. 3) Make a copy of the files in another account, share this new file as appropriate, and remove the shares from the original. This last option could be used to make sure that the files do not disappear if an ex-employee deletes there account. Not sure if the bConnected admin has the ability to mitigate this risk.

Re: [Micronet] Digital Licensing of Software
Not quite sure what you're asking, but... Software mnfg's are always trying to find ways to get users to pay them money, and keep paying them money. I'm not judging this as bad, just pointing out that this is what you need to do if you want to be in business. Otherwise, it's just a hobby. So mnfg's used techniques such as: locking or limiting features, using a variety of methods; charging for upgrades; and creating a subscription model.

Mike, A junction can be removed with RD, since it appears to be a directory in the file system. Also, there is an FSUTIL command, but I've not used it - google fsutil reparsepoint.

Re: [Micronet] Problem with new computer disk setup
Hard Links are part of the NTSF file system - pointing one location in the file system to another location in the file system. Each partition has it's own file system, so you can not create a hard link in one system that points to a location in another. I don't remember if Junctions can point to another file system, but Symbolic links can. They're your friend, in this situation - cozy up to them.

Re: [Micronet] Problem with new computer disk setup
I'm currently on a Win7 box. I open cmd.exe and type mklink and it works. It is part of the command shell, so maybe it is not available in Power Shell.

Re: [Micronet] Apple Mail Behaviors
An organization adds up the pluses and minuses related to a change and select a direction. If an individual does the same thing, but only includes issues that pertain to themselves, they can easily come to a different decision. But an individual is part of many groups, so I argue that one also needs to add in the affect on these groups by selecting a contrary route. This might cause the individuals scales to tip in another direction. Of course, getting someone to the point of considering the affect on their various groups might not be possible at any given time.

They keep things in local folders, which fat mail clients encourage them to do. Sorting mail is an old way of working. The new way of doing things is to let the computer (that is to say, its search engine) find things for you instead of using a sort to find them. It is also a quicker way of finding something than eyeing a sorted list. I am totally aware of the difficulty of convincing people to change their ways.

[Micronet] Use of Drive Notepad, Preview refresh
Dear Micronet, I was getting annoyed that the file preview (for a text file) was not showing me the version that I just uploaded, so I used Open with... Drive Notepad. Since this was the first time I did this, there was the popup box asking me if it was ok for this app to view parts of my profile and, of course, modify files in my drive. So that's the story which prompts two questions: 1) How do I get Preview to refresh? In this case, I have a file with one column of several hundred student ID's. I select Manage revisions and import a new list. When I double-click the file in Drive, the Preview shows me the old list. I tried clicking a few other places in Drive and then back to the file, but the old list is still displayed. It is not until I go back to Manage Revisions, and delete the old revision, that I finally see the new version in Preview. 2) How can we know that a given app is ok to use? And besides the obvious security point of view, I also mean that an app will not expose my Drive contents to Google scanning. -- Richard DeShong, Systems Analyst, Athletic Study Center, U.C.Berkeley 164 Chavez Student Center, Berkeley, CA, 94720-4220 510-642-5123 asc.berkeley.edu - The following was automatically added to this message by the list server: To learn more about Micronet, including how to subscribe to or unsubscribe from its mailing list and how to find out about upcoming meetings, please visit the Micronet Web site: http://micronet.berkeley.edu Messages you send to this mailing list are public and world-viewable, and the list's archives can be browsed and searched on the Internet.

I my case I also add the CalNet ID and full name to a text file I use for lookups when running various server commands that normally returns just IDs.
