Show Notes
- Guest speaker Carey Holzman builds his own computers, gaming computers, and specializes in hardware.
- CompTIA
- Office 365
- Cloud-based Office software
- Home – $99
- Business
- Six editions
- Outlook comes with all products, but if you want to be able to efficiently use your email you may need to purchase Exchange, business class email, or formerly known as Hosted Exchange.
- Six editions
- Cloud-based Office software
- When do you move a client from Google to Outlook/Exchange?
- NOT TO SAVE MONEY.
- When they are having a problem and it makes more sense for them to be on Exchange.
- Office 365 is not a fit for everybody.
- Consequences and limitations of the cheaper versions
- Troubleshooting example
- Five computers using the licensing for one subscription to a licensed product.
- Someone found a computer by the dumpster and wanted someone to fix it so that they could use it–they never want to pay.
- Updates can fix OR break a system.
- Windows 10 Adware/Potentially Unwanted Products
- If you do not know what you are doing, DO NOT DO IT. Take your time, learn it the right way. Ask Lisa!!
- Interview your clients before recommending software:
- What are you already using?
- Does it work?
- If yes, don’t mess with it!!
- Plans for expansion?
- Budget?
- Don’t sell them the computer that YOU want: Sell them what they NEED and what is right for THEM.
- Listen to the client’s needs; Fill those needs.
- You don’t need to have all the answers, but you need to have the ability to find those answers. Takes knowing the right questions to ask, knowing the right people, or knowing where to look.
- TeamViewer using Outlook–and antispyware… headache!

Show Notes
- Guest Mike Smith from the Mike Tech Show
- CompTIA ChannelCon conference in Chicago, Illinois August 2nd-5th.
- Mike will be attending!
- Lisa will be attending!
- Free promotion code.
- Exchange Hosted servers
- Manual setup vs auto-discovery
- Implementing auto-discovery will make your life so much easier
- A record put into the DNS record for auto-discover.
- Will automatically configure Outlook, usernames, passwords, IP addresses, etc. Will make your life SOOOO much better!!
- Biggest hurdle about client’s DNS is in that they don’t have the usernames and passwords for where they registered their domain.
- If they do not have the usernames and passwords for the domain, it is safe to say that they do not own the domain, and the technician then has to work together with the people who own that domain to configure the DNS records.
- May have to prove ownership… Can be a hassle to do all the paperwork.
- You must ALWAYS turn off the auto-discover on the local server or it will not work with the hosted exchange server.
- It does not matter what you try to do to get this to work, local server will always win.
- If you have two auto-discovers in the pool, one local, and one exchange, the local will always win.
- True synchronization takes care of streamlining calendars, contacts, and email messages without a data limit with ActiveSync in Exchange.
- Office 365 and Hosted Exchange — Separate ideas, even though they are together.
- Boxed product on the shelf should not be used by businesses. Is intended mostly for the home user.
- Subscription model, home and student.
- If you need to upgrade, just buy the license for the full subscription.
- Encrypted emails and compliance issues.
- Cannot send any emails over the Internet that contains personal information for risk of breaching compliance.
- Toolbar option allows to send message encrypted.
- Secure link.
- When meeting with a client
- Check their Internet speeds–Get them on good Internet connection with good speeds if they are not already.
- Get a copy of their phone and Internet bills, contracts
- Can we save them money by moving them to a cloud based phone system?
- Managed IT vs Break/Fix
- Higher hourly rates vs quarterly retainer rate
- Difference between a contractor and a consultant is $125 an hour.
