How to Schedule Sending an Email in Gmail

Without the use of third party apps, Gmail now lets you write an email and schedule a sending time. Here is how to do it;

In the Gmail desktop browser, compose your email as you would regularly. Instead of clicking on send, click on the little arrow next to the send button. Click “Schedule Send”.

Choose when you want to send the email. You can choose a time like “tomorrow morning” or provide a custom date/time.

Windows Server 2008 – End of Life

Good Morning,

Please note that Windows Server 2008 is nearing its End Of Service Life! Customers still running Windows Server 2008 after end of support will face a number of challenges: increased threat of cybercrime, loss of support for popular applications, rising costs and limited options for Cloud computing.

What does End of Life mean?

Almost all Microsoft products have a support lifecycle during which Microsoft provides new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and so on. The end of this lifecycle is known as the product’s End of Life. When Windows Server 20018 reaches its End of Life before the end of this year, Microsoft will no longer provide:

1. Technical support for issues
2. Bug fixes for issues that are discovered
3. Security fixes for vulnerabilities that are discovered

Advisory: Windows Server 2008 will reach End of Service Life (EoSL) officially ends on January 14th 2020. However we recommend transition to Windows Server 2016 or Windows Server 2019 to ensure ongoing support and avoid disruption to your business prior to thisdate. 

We strongly encourage that you upgrade as soon as possibleto avoid any down time. Please contact us to assist with your transition.  Our support team will be glad to help out!

Urgent Support Requests

I wanted to share a little pet peeve of mine. Customers that ‘cry wolf’ when it comes to ‘URGENT’ support requests. I think there are ‘some’ that actually don’t realize that they are doing something wrong, ‘some’ are just lazy to choose the proper extension for the tech they want (they’d have to go look it up in our signatures or in their Outlook contacts), but most just don’t know how to quantify ‘urgent’. Please share your experience with this topic below!
