    Best case for SLI 1080ti FTW3?

    Looking for input on a new PC case. The GPU thermals on my current setup aren't great due to the shallow height above the GPU's. For reference, the PCIE power cables touch the lid. The bulk of the exhaust from the bottom GPU recirculates into the top GPU. Due to housing changes, I need to...

    How do you store and share your internal system documentation/passwords?

    As others have said a windows server with Active Directory and file shares. Or if you don't have a server a quality NAS has means of securing docs. For cloud based I've seen Sharepoint, box and dropbox im action. Lots of companies fighting to be your cloud vendor. They all have their pros and...

    VLAN throughput Poll

    Your right, from what I understand if layer 3 switch is available that would provide the best performance and handle the routing. I updated the original question removing option 3. I guess what I was trying to figure out is there any performance differences between these "router on a stick"...

    Do You Pronounce it GIF or JIF?

    I love how divided [H] users are on this topic. I thought for sure a gathering of IT folk would come to a concensus. Can we remake this thread with a poll? I've always interpreted it as jif. The inventor calls it jif. That's good enough for me. It's like toilet paper rolls. Over or under...

    Hollywood Hospital Paid $17,000 Ransom To Hackers

    What is shocking is why did they have to pay the ransom rather than restore from on site backup files? Did they not have any backups? Did the backups get encrypted also? I've seen the crypto virus take on dozens of forms. Hackers have refined the code now that it no longer requires...

    Slow WiFi speed on rtn 12

    That is bizarre. They market it as a 300MBPS wireless N router. yet it only has 10/100 nic ports... I wonder how they plan to achieve 300MBPS over a 100MBPS circuitry. Nice one asus.

    Slow WiFi speed on rtn 12

    Make sure the device you are testing with has a wireless N or newer radio. Wireless G maxes out at 54MBPS with full signal. Confirm your PC/Laptop/device is negotiating a link speed above 75MBPS. Try standing directly next to the router for all testing to rule out signal penetration issues...

    Am I the only one who didn't realize that you have to have CALs for Active Directory?

    that is correct and starting with server 2012 they no longer bundle ANY CAL's with it. they are just setting you up for a failure so when they come knocking on your door saying its time for an audit they can sue the F8#k out of you if you dont comply. i think many IT have no idea. almost all...

    Laptop on a domain - VPN Options?

    When the PC has not seen the domain controller for an extend period of time (e.g. no vpn, never bringing it into the office, for 30 days) the trust relationship will break and he will get locked out, no prompt to change password. That is usually how it goes. At that point he will need access to...

    Windows 7 Support Ends January 2015

    Hooking up users to printers via GPO -- am I being excessive / doing it incorrectly?

    I would install to print server and map them to workstations with a logon script (batch file). I find it to work quite well. Mapping takes place at logon along with network shares via batch files. You can get fancy with scripts and check subnets and failover to other print servers. Maybe...
