WizTree will always be more accurate than those 2 due to how it discovers files, I can't remember enough to explain. It's also incredible quick at scanning compared to those 2 so always my preferred.

You can say that again.. I've never heard of it before.. Now to burn it into my memory.

I need to write the author and ask them to post it to Chocolatey.

Good idea.

I think I have it figured out.. when I'm back on that network I'll get a screen shot.

Hope to spend the afternoon testing it, have a few other pieces of gear to setup for it.

I had some confusion because of the age of the old CSR. It doesn't line up with the correct dates. I'll edit my original post when I know more.

" via separate VMs

In this instance, it is a single VM doing three tasks.

This server does not get taxed very much. Network Monitor is more of a strain than email or file services.

I would highly recommend splitting these into three different VMs then. No reason not to, right?

Microsoft Licensing is a very likely reason.

Your right on that.

So an offset to this is you can easily setup a linux server to act as your file server. So you can "save" a license here. The other services, Email (I'm assuming exchange) has to be run on Windows as well does SW Network Monitor.

Email is Kerio Connect. Now GFI. They do have a Linux appliance but sometimes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. 🙂

As for fileserver, I setup RBAC in AD and even with Samba 4.4, permissions are an issue. Like I mentioned to Scott, my lack of knowledge could be the issue here.

But you can easily replace SW network monitor with Zabbix or literally anything else, while using less system resources and not have to think about the licensing.

I will look into Zabbix. It's just that SW network monitor does exactly what I need so I stuck with it.

The biggest issue is it's forcing you to spend for Windows licensing which just doesn't make sense.

You are correct. That is why last year I started learning more Linux and create a goal for this year. I am tired of dealing with MS licensing for many little things.

Just Had a "Duh" moment.

Currently have vCenter 5.5 on a standalone W2K8 server license. That will be going away when I move to VCSA 6.5. This is not an OEM version so I can reuse that license. That will then provide me with the extra license to separate file server , email and SW.

The issue I have goes back to my original post in that I want to move the original fileserv1 VM folders to the local datastore. I want the NAS to only hold backup data only.

My current plan is, deal with current pressing issue of fileserv1 folders, my backup provider switches me to Veeam, I move to VCSA, upgrade ESXI Hosts to 6.5, and then begin to separate "roles" to multiple servers.

Ah, I definitely could have been mistaken there

If it's just nix based systems, Prometheus is super easy to set up. Prometheus, node exporter, and alert manager are really easy to automate and get going.

I made these roles so all you should need to do is create a playbook to plug in the variables.

No experience with it, I'm afraid.

did you looked at this?

it uses the Remove method and seems quite straightforward to me. You just need to rework the for loop or simply add a counter to it to know which row has to be purged.

@brandon220 said in FreePBX and VOIP.MS:

I was reading on the voip.ms wiki and thought the way you all are describing is the way it should have been done. I just was unsure on how to implement. I will make the changes.

It's definitely a challenge coming from old POTS days, one line/connection = one phone number. It's definitely more like T1's, single connection, many DIDs.

Welcome, please join and be a productive member of the community or we will rip you a new one.

The post over there has been deleted.... I didn't catch the SW name of our new user.

It's cool I took a screenshot of the entire thread around post 12, with the users name etc.

I have a feeling the post above is all we will hear from him.

@scottalanmiller said in Small clients in data centers:

Something to think about, with most modern services you have no need a VPN. VPNs are LAN extenders. Old style LAN based designs with tools like AD can need a VPN to make AD keep thinking it is on a LAN, and things like SMB shares basically need a LAN to function. But if you switch from AD to Azure AD, JumpCloud, local accounts, or central managed local accounts, for example, the VPN is unneeded. Same for "modern" storage like NextCloud, no LAN or VPN necessary. Same for modern web apps, they don't care if they are on the LAN or not.

Part of what makes us flexible where we are, is that none of our services or applications are LAN-centric. Without that, we are free to deploy anywhere we want - internal, colocation, VPS, cloud computing, doesn't matter.

I've saw some cost benefits of leveraging our own data center to provide these cloud services to clients. But with certain VPS offerings getting far lower in price, it's nearly impossible to be THAT competitive.

Yeah, you need some huge scale to get your own facility to have benefits. Even if you can get the cost down, you can't match the performance, ease of use, scalability, capacity, geographic diversity, and protections of even the lowest cost players like Vultr.

Is the HyperV Integration tools up to date?

Glad to know this worked. I have had 3 different Synology NAS boxes over the past 6 years- An 1812+ that was just retired, 1813+, still going after almost 5 years and a new 3617xs and wondered what would happen if the box died. Never had any issues with any (knocking on wood).

That's an idea. 🙂
