So I have a user who routinely complains about not getting emails from a few of us. Whenever it happens, it’s the same deal… I go into Message Trace to verify an email was sent at all: they are. However, they are being filtered by a rule and sent straight to deleted. So then we look at her rules in Outlook - nothing. … I haven’t had a chance to actually really sit and click around more than what I listed above but I just got a ticket this morning from her complaining about the same thing and if I am able (or one of my minions) to click around a bit, I’m wondering if maybe other mailboxes she has access to could affect this? She has quite a few. The emails being filtered though are being sent to HER… 😐

This community platform doesn’t have pagination and all topics use an infinite scroll interface. This can make navigating longer topics, such as this one, more difficult: Introduce Yourself!

Currently our main is AHV in Nutanix but we also have a few Hyper-V and XCP-ng hosts, along with one remaining proxmox host that I’m trying to kill off.

By default, your avatar starts off as the first letter of your username. To upload a picture to replace that, click on your avatar in the upper right, then click the gear icon: Once on your profile page, click on the pencil icon next to your Profile Picture and upload your own image. You don’t have to use a photo of yourself if you’re shy - a picture of a pet, a flower or an emoji is totally fine.

We’d like to automate Windows reboots, but we can’t until we can find a way to perform some actions before a reboot. For example, when rebooting a web server it would be nice to notify the load balancer to take the web server out of the pool. While there are some Windows “shutdown” events we can monitor for the problem with them is they typically come after the shutdown process has started. It would be great if we could get a notification (on the machine being rebooted) right before Automox is going to start the reboot process. For example just check for a well known program name and if it’s there call it, if not no harm, and if we want to use this exit point we’ll put a program there. Or what other ways have people found to perform pre-shutdown operations on Windows boxes?
