Distinct fileserver users need different folder access rights.
When mapping fileserver folders on distant workstations, you must provide usernames/passwords.
Usernames and passwords for distant OSes aren't linked to fileserver. Different stories (local) https://mangolassi.it/topic/24831/going-from-active-directory-domain-to-workgroup/3 idle breakout

Any time I try to set this now results in failure after failure and code regeneration - What's the use if restart after reboot if the code changes?

What do you mean by "code regenaration"?

I use Supremo, Meshcentral2 and Teamviewer, and have no issues, after reboots.

I used the 'incorrect' term code... Password.

You need to setup "unattended access" with fixed password.
Look here:

Same is with Supremo.

Meshcentral is great and free, but you need to setup your server.

I do not see that anyone needs to make "general rule" and select people based on what they prefer to use.

So you agree with my points. My point was people should HAVE it, not hiring based on which they preferred.

I agree with some of your points (i.e. definitely person who wants to work in IT should already have personal PC/laptop...)

But I think there is no need to "draw a line" and make general rule, whether the company will provide business laptop to someone or not, pay for internet...
(I was answering to your question "Where do you draw the line")

Why is the Nicaraguan real estate market so depressed right now?

@Oksana Microsoft should really learn that a PIN is not a Password.

Forcing Windows Hello on businesses that opt to not have E3 or higher licenses and then forcibly making people use a PIN is just plain stupid.

There is a registry edit that can be made to disable Window Hello, but it's annoying to do so as it's a piecemeal approach.

It's Microsoft's way of reminding you, heavily, that Ubuntu is free.

While I agree, the focus would be to still have SSO on your azure bound device. I've never tried to bind Ubuntu or other linux distro to Azure.

@JasGot said in How do some of these engineers get to where they are?:

@Carnival-Boy But if they have 100Mb now and it works fine, how will 100Mb be slow and choppy with a faster ISP?

That can actually happen. If you overdrive the router, packets arrive but dont get processed efficiently. Then it starts dropping things.

@DustinB3403 depending on what you want, you can also:

$app = Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Microsoft Edge" $installDate = $app.InstallDate

We are. Currently, my day job is heavily invested in the VMware ecosystem, and there's no likelihood that will change any time soon... So we are already at the point of testing it, though that probably wont' happen until after the New Year.

I haven’t looked at the vmware hcl, but I heard a lot of hardware is no longer supported. I also read that vmware no longer recommends booting from sd cards.

That's all correct. Part of the point of VMware (and to their credit) is to dramatically limit you to a small pool of high quality, well tested hardware. That's partially how they maintain stability.

KVM has a small pool of hardware smart to use. But "supports" almost anything. It's handy to know it will always work, but sucks because people deploy it on crap all of the time.

My weekend is me hiding in the office and recording content until the sun goes down. Then me editing content.

We just built a new Samba file server here

Question, what authentication method are you using? I'm debating this at a client now.

I think it's TDBSAM (passdb backend in the samab config file). It's AD Joined though, so it may be something else.

@RojoLoco nice, congrats!
