  @Obsolesce I will have to check to see if anyone is actually using it by choice. If not, I will look into doing that.

  @DustinB3403 said in virt-manager for Windows: @Obsolesce said in virt-manager for Windows: @DustinB3403 said in virt-manager for Windows: Virt-Viewer is only Windows solution that allows access to your KVM VM's. It is not at all Virt-Manager, which is install-able throughout the linux world. Oh, did he mean to view the console? yeah, if that's the case, Virt-Viewer. but it also works in Cockpit But cockpit isn't a fat-client. It's a web based console and they aren't the same. Cockpit can also be a full stack management tool. But for KVM, the only fat-client solution that I can think of is VV and it's literally just for accessing the console of the VM's on any given host. Nothing more. It gets the job done very well, without having to install anything on Windows.... total server mangement, VM console, whatever. Assuming the KVM server has Cockpit installed I mean... but I think it's worth it, it's an easy and secure solution. But I do agree Virt-Viewer is excellent.

  @Obsolesce yeah, oldest first in that view. The problem with CV is that you get your email list twice, not once. One is newest first, one is oldest first.

  @pmoncho said in Get Windows Version from Command Line: No doubt. Currently working on getting Server 2019 DC, DHCP, and RDS working in a lab. A few challenges so far. Was going to try using PS to do many tasks I normally do in GUI (force myself to learn as I go) but decided to put it on the back burner due to frustration. I will get there with PS but it has to wait. Unfortunately, no matter how much we want to complain about PS and how Windows has no production-level roadmap at this point and is getting worse by the day, if you are going to run Windows today, PS is how it is done. Issues with PS have only one valid purpose to discuss - to use to explain to management why Windows shouldn't be getting deployed in production workloads, or why risks with it need to be accepted. It's like the licensing issues with Windows, these things all add up to cost and risk and risk is really just cost. It's part of the "decision numbers." Beyond that, it is what it is. If the business actually knows how costly it is and still chooses it, then PS is how you manage it. If you deploy and start without using PS, it'll be that much harder to switch later. I know the learning curve is absurd and the whole thing is so much harder than it has any purpose being, but I would bite the bullet if at all possible and learn it now. It'll just be harder later.

  @DustinB3403 said in Comparing PowerShell to Linux User Manipulation: @scottalanmiller said in Comparing PowerShell to Linux User Manipulation: @flaxking said in Comparing PowerShell to Linux User Manipulation: It interesting to think about, one complaint about Linux is that it has fragmented off into tons of different distributions, however it's has managed to keep a lot of the tools standardized across them all. That's very true. It's even moreso than that. Many of those tools remains standard across not just operations systems, but OS familys, too. AIX, Solaris, BSD, Linux... all those families tend to share a lot of tooling. OSX even has kept mostly uniform with the command set from UNIX. It's surprisingly nice. I'm appreciating OSX more because things are easier to repeat over and over and to do things remotely. Yeah, even with how rough many things are in OSX, their shell and command sets are definitely one place where even Apple is keeping ahead of MS.

  @Ambarishrh said in ScreenConnect/Connectwise control client exe (marked as malicious): @scottalanmiller said in ScreenConnect/Connectwise control client exe (marked as malicious): PUP doesn't mean malicious. Lots of remote access software gets marked as PUP. PUP is really an essentially meaningless category. Agreed, we've been using screenconnect for almost 2 years now, never had the AV marking this as PUP/malicious. The support agent session and the reports from virus total/hybrid-analysis making me think twice about the client upgrade on machines Should more make you question your AV, not ScreenConnect. That you know what SC is, there's zero reason for concern. PUP for known software is meaningless. However, the real reaction should be "why is my AV flagging something so well known and obvious?" This means that your AV is crying wolf on something really simple to have avoided.

  @360col said in Office 365 Phone System Deployment: MY experience so far. I have managed to get the phone (with S4B firmware) logged in using the web sign in with pin thing. But I had to log in to the handset via IP then initiate the whole process. Not very automated. Yeah, once you have to do that, a username and password is almost everything that you need to set up SIP normally!

  Thanks for the assistance fellas. Turning off hardware acceleration didn't have a noticeable impact. I ended up using Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant for Office 365 (https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/uninstall-office-from-a-pc-9dd49b83-264a-477a-8fcc-2fdf5dbf61d8) to purge and then installed again from scratch. Worked as expected right away again...

  @Obsolesce said in What Happens When Microsoft Doesn't Issue Licenses: @scottalanmiller said in What Happens When Microsoft Doesn't Issue Licenses: So the reset and query tool that Microsoft provide do not work (they don't claim that they do in 2016, just that they thought that they would.) They report that all is well, and then RDS fails anyway. So there is both the licensing issue, and an issue with a lack of working tooling. Next time do it properly? And not use Microsoft? We did everything we were supposed to do, Microsoft messed it up. Short of not using anything that depends on Windows, what's the solution? Right now Insight and Microsoft are still going back and forth blaming each other. Unfortunately, not using Windows isn't something we control. But without being able to control that, having a reliable product isn't always something IT determines.

  Looks like a bug. You can get it to run correctly from the command line... cd /usr/share/cockpit/ovirt/ chmod +x install.sh ./install.sh https://my.ovirt.com/ovirt-engine 443 Running in this way produces good output. And it creates the necessary /etc/cockpit/machines-ovirt.config file.

  @wirestyle22 said in Mitigating Nextcloud Two Factor Authentication Error: I upgraded Nextcloud and for some reason two-factor authentication activated on my admin account. Since I couldn't access my admin account I needed to find a way via cli to disable two factor authentication, but because it wasn't configured there was no folder in /var/www/html/nextcloud/apps for me to rename, etc. Below is the command I found that worked for me. sudo -u apache php occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false Note: You have to run the command as apache, or if you're using Debian www-data. You also need to be in the right folder By default on Fedora cd /var/www/html/nextcloud Or sudo -u apache php /var/www/html/nextcloud/occ config:system:set twofactor_enforced --value=false

  @dbeato said in Intern Discussion episode 1: @mary said in Intern Discussion episode 1: @dbeato That's pretty cool to actually work with that technology. I'm kind of jealous! I didn't like it though, nothing like breaking a cassette... And they are so slow. You really don't know slow until you use an audio cassette for data storage. They actually recorded audio and played it back, and it is obviously linear. So image the worst, old floppy ever, now imagine that you couldn't use a table of contents but had to do everything at half speed, and sequentially! What might take three minutes with an old floppy could be 30 minutes with a cassette!

  It depends if you are using an agent or just rsyslog. Rsyslog can do tls and compression but not sure if you can cache until the remote server is back up, you would have to be sending over tcp for it to be able to verify. It can do tcp but I don't know if it has built in mechanisms to cache until the remote returns. The best way to handle it with just rsyslog is to have multiple syslog servers (Graylog) to send to and then they store in their backend (Elasticsearch in the case of Graylog).

  @Scott said in Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect: When connected to a Windows or Linux computer (have not tried on Mac) and the machine's public IP address changes I can no longer connect to desktop, terminal, files, etc. however the machine still shows up on MC as powered on, so there is some connection, yes? How do we handle this if a remote machine has its IP address change? Such as a laptop going to a different location, or in my testing, changing address with a VPN. MeshCentral should be getting that information from the meshagent. On my Linux system, meshagent is set to always restart every 3 seconds or at least I think what it means.

But now it is missing. This is not what you stated in your opening post. You clearly stated several updates. @scottalanmiller said in Yealink T46S Missing Opus Codec in 66.84.0.15 Firmware: Anyone noticed that several firmware updates for Yealink T4xS phones seems to be missing the Opus codec It's been multiple for us, not just this one. Older ones have had the issue, then we update and Opus appears. But now we update and it disappears again. So yes, several just as I said. I never said "several consecutively."
