I have a 12 year old (About 95k miles) spare SUV that my 19 yo daughter primarily drives when home from school. I perform most of the maintenance on it (Or in the case of the timing belt just performed, I make sure maintenance is performed.) Cover most of those costs, and most of the costs of my daughter's insurance along with the car's insurance. I mention the maintenance and finances because even when married, all of this fell to me, as well as handling insurance claims and such from several accidents the ex had with her own car.

Found out a week ago my ex wife is taking kids, daughter's boyfriend, and her new boyfriend on vacation. About a 7 hour drive away. Because the boyfriends a

I'm located around Philadelphia, PA. I have about a 4' wide area that I want to plant something for privacy from the neighbor's driveway. This area butts up to their driveway with a low block wall, and the other side is my grass. Previously had cherry laurels in this space, but they got way too big (Needed a bucket truck to trim them), got diseased, deer found them after 15 years and were bare from the waist down, and the snow would cause real issues with them.

Trying to find something for privacy in this space and was directed to fargesia robusta, but concerned even though they're not supposed to spread. I understand they'll clump and continue to grow outwards in that sense. Is this t

Long time Trace 700 company. We finally gave up renewing those licenses when they quoted us some ridiculous amount a year or two ago to renew licenses they wouldn't support. Finally got everything moved to Trace 3d, but no one's really happy about it.

Went to renew the T3d licenses this year and had problems getting into the license/renewal portal. Emailed cdsadmin and cdshelp. No response for a month (And still no response to this day.) Call their number, it says email cdsadmin or cdshelp.

Finally got in to the ordering portal on my own. Ordered the software (Against my better judgement.) We're tax exempt and uploaded my form in the portal while processing the order. Trane needs

Borrowing from another post in the group today. Vendors - we know you switch our account reps more often than underwear. We don't have time to schedule a call with the account-rep-of-the-week to talk about how they can help our business (I know what this really means.) Please do send your contact info so we can reach out to you if we need to make things happen. Promise we'll reach out as needed at the very least.

Are there vendors we work with the reps frequently? Absolutely. Just don't need to do a "tell me about your MSP business" every month or two with vendor XYZ.

I had a silver legacy partnership with Microsoft, and the benefits were due to expire Saturday. I had 25 M365 E3s sitting there unused which I planned to grab before they expired. Wanted to wait as long as possible to get my full year out of them, so I put a note in my calendar for a few days before they expired. In hindsight, I should have grabbed the key ASAP and put THAT in my calendar.

On said day, I jumped in to the partner portal, scrolled down to that benefit and tried to retrieve the key. Got a weird error stating "Some users, entities and locations are restricted from certain Microsoft services..." Weird. Error insinuated I was coming in over a VPN maybe or similar. Tried aga

It's been forever since I had to take a business account from dynamic to adding a block of statics on it. Client only has the Verizon router today, and I'm trying to determine if, when Verizon adds the static block, whether their Verizon router will disconnect until we program in the new IP.

Verizon stated they can't give us a time of day that the block will go active. Nor do they program anything in the router.

We can't have a tech sit there all day waiting for it to go down, and we can't tell the customer "we'll swing by once your service goes down."

I've spoken with tech support and sales. Sales says it won't go down. Support says it will.

Been working with Exclaimer for a few years now, and the product is fine, does what we/customers need. Have a few hundred licenses with them, nothing crazy. But getting support/response from them, whether support or customer service, is horrendous. I've been back and forth with the US Channel Manager since the beginning of the month and rarely get a reply.

Latest quote we received was MSRP pricing based off their website. As a partner. Reached out and was put in touch with channel manager. Told me about all the MSP centric stuff coming down the pipeline (They are anything but MSP focused today) and that's all great. But I'm not going to pay your public MSRP pricing that's on your w

Don't have a ton of detail on this currently, but we had a bunch of users that couldn't launch the Project Center client today. Traced it to yesterday's M365 update. Spoke with Newforma, they're aware and seeing it as a mix of this month's Windows updates and the M365 update. I rolled back to last week's M365 version and all is well now. Heads up.

Newforma has this documented here if it helps anyone - [https://projectcenter.community.newforma.com/s/article/OLMAPI32-DLL-Crashing-Newforma-Project-Center?name=OLMAPI32-DLL-Crashing-Newforma-Project-Center](https://projectcenter.community.newforma.com/s/article/OLMAPI32-DLL-Crashing-Newforma-Project-Center?name=OLMAPI32-DLL-Crashing-Newforma

Took on a new client that is running M365 hybrid (Azure AD connect in place) and they're not creating users correctly I found out. They create the AD user, let sync happen, then license them in M365, which is getting them a mailbox, but none of the proper mail attributes are stamped in AD.

I planned to install Exchange 2019 CU15 on the tech's machines so they could do this properly, and then came to find out the last Exchange server was fully removed in that the Exchange Organization container is gone. They did a full removal against the best practices of Microsoft in a hybrid configuration.

Can I reinstall an Exchange 2019 server to get things back in place, then do a proper "removal" t

Have threads going with my distributor and with my Lenovo rep. Apparently the 12YS is too new and no one has a part number for a drive cage kit. The 12V2 part number I was given (5M11C16978) isn't the kit.

Trying to add two 3.5" drives to one of these two machines. Anyone ever ordered by chance? In the past, I used to order a kit that came with ALL of the drive cages, cables and caddies.
