Ya, I just never get around to it.

For two reasons really.

Some of the projects are purely made for myself, so I just use MySQL and Navicat and do my thing. Or the data is so rarely accessed, people just come to me to find out something.

The project is temporary or purely an archive.

For those project which will be accessed by others, the data either sits in Excel because it's not that much data anyway, or I build out a little web interface using a CMS though it might lack some CUD, at least others can read/browse the data.

The problem with these things is that, when data is needed, it's needed NOW BLAST YOU! But once we're done, it's barely needed and thus not worth the time to build a crud app around it.

And my final excuse, down here around 10%, I just don't care any more. If somebody needs a report, I gather and extract the data and make a pretty report as needed. Too much other stuff happening. For example, creating a DVD video from source footage when the boss took a trip. Yes, I do that, lol

I bricked mine trying to update it.

That's just not nice all around.

@tim_g said in CALs: Silly or Not?:

In that example, their authentication could have been done on their AD server (as one example), which is not a web-workload server. That's why they would then require a CAL, as they mentioned.

If their authentication was done on their front-end web-workload server (web server via mangoDB as in the Mangolassi case, i think), then no CALs are needed.

I tend to agree with this as well.

@FATeknollogee

You've said that the bosses want the networks to be separate.
You've also said that company B provides a service for company A akin to B providing email services to A, so A needs access to B's network for that single service.

All that said - what is the goal in splitting the networks? Why do it? If you don't know why the bosses want this - ask them. Let's not worry about the how of splitting yet allowing things to continue to work, let's work on the why first - because the helps lead to the correct solution for the goal.

Solved it myself woop 😄

What i did was removed the rtl88xxau drivers (apt purge realtek-rtl88xxau-dkms)

then used this github and installed https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/tree/v5.1.5

adding i needed to run chmod +x on dkms-install.sh before install

Thanks. And this isn't for testing. I actually want to use this server for some production servers.

Sorry, didn't know. I mistakenly assumed testing and lab because of the time frame.

But you can't go wrong with doing it that way.

If you have no need for an extra NIC you could do a 3-NIC team. If you are fine with no management NIC, do a 4-port team and share it with your management OS if for some reason you need that many NICs in a team. Though you probably don't.

Yeah well it is for some low-risk servers, so, kinda almost testing, but not really, if that makes sense. lol

@darek-hamann said in BSOD on virtual server 2016:

Have you tried removing any faulty drivers from safe mode?

I don't know what the faulty drivers are. I removed the printer drivers I don't need through print management and haven't had a blue screen yet, but only time will tell.

Unexpected token 's' in expression or statement.
+ CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnexpectedToken

The new ER4 will have an UBNT made rack mount. No idea if is is compatible with the ERL physically.

Oh gosh, I don't even remember.

Well, I looked at prices on ebay (which I know is not the best place to do a comparison) but people tend to price things relative to how expensive they were or currently are worth.

I don't know if that's true. Pricing on eBay are often insane. People asking $1,000 for a device worth $20 just because they hope that someone is confused.

hahahaha you're so right. I guess really, it was just a comparison starting point. Probably not a good idea, but it's the only way I could quickly get a $ figure.

Yeah, I don't know who has MSRP on those.

Ah, Nice, I didn't realize AmpliFi could be added to a Google account for management!

Also, it looks like Unifi support for UNMS isn't slated until Q4 2018, boo...

@fateknollogee said in Ninja RMM - Really good tool:

Just re-read this thread again...why is the pricing so "top secret"??

Because they don't really want your business.

They won't get mine.

I wonder how these really compare to the Sennheiser ones?

Thanks - I re-installed webroot and was able to update.

@eddiejennings said in Who needs an MSDN subscription?:

This thread is inspired by the never-ending thread about licensing and replication in I Can't Even.

I know that developers who use Visual Studio probably get their Visual Studio license through an MSDN subscription. One benefit of the subscription is that you're allowed to spin up Windows servers, SQL servers, etc., for development and testing.

For organizations who have full-on lab environments or IT staff who need to spin up a VM Windows Server VM here and there to try something out, how do they stay in compliance? Do they also buy a MSDN subscription (perhaps MSDN platforms) for the IT staff member? Do they have their IT staff continually use Windows server 180-day evaluation licenses? Do they turn a blind eye as they give their IT staff activation keys from a dev's MSDN subscription and hope their organization is never audited?

MSDN subscriptions are user-specific. To stay in compliance, every person who wants to take advantage of an MSDN benefit, will need to have their own MSDN subscription. They cannot be shared. Any VM spun up under the MSDN subscription cannot be used in any way by another person.

Ah, didnt read the full OP post and assumed it was for him.

However Bizspark MSDN does provide startup organizations with multiple user accounts all for internal use and testing. It is not for production or internal use.

Yeah. It's not for me. I was just musing about the test VMs and such we need to spin up as IT, and I was curious how larger businesses or businesses with test labs license those test Windows VMs. I figured MSDN platforms wasn't used because of [see the above responses], but perhaps truth was going to be stranger than fiction.

Larger is different. Once you are of any size you have enterprise agreements and your labs are just covered.

Also, I would highly recommend watching this session from VMworld 2017 about monster VMs that could help anyone needing to virtualize a DB server - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXbOoRo_Wn4. You can get the slide deck here.
