If you mention it in a different context.... the bank robber was stressed and so murdered the witnesses.

That's great but "stressed" doesn't excuse the action, especially when the stress was the result of the guilty party. The CFO would not have been stressed here if someone (maybe him) had not screwed up to begin with. Just like the bank robber didn't need to rob the bank, the junior dev didn't need to be set up for failure. That the CFO or the bank robber chose to be in stressful situations and then use that as an excuse to do something far worse than the thing that caused the stress was their own choice and reverts the blame back to themselves again.

@black3dynamite said in How to Install Fedora 25 Minimal:

Unlike installing Linux Integration Services, Hot-Add support is not enabled by default after installing hyperv-daemons.

Create a file /etc/udev/rules.d/100-balloon.rules. You may use any other desired name for the file.

Add the following content to the file: SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}="online"

Reboot the system to enable Hot-Add support.

See Note 8 on Supported CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux virtual machines on Hyper-V

You mean for dynamic memory to work?

Yes, dynamic memory for ballooning and hot-add.

And a Linux AD server will be something like $2.50 - $5/mo. Whereas a Windows AD server will be like $26/mo.

I am figuring the $40 extra is worth it for consistency for an RDSH environment. On a web app or anything else that wouldn't bother me.

That's what I'm saying. Any time you are paying for "consistency" in IT, you should stop and really, really evaluate that. Consistency sounds good but is almost always a negative. It's like drifting in racing. It's not consistent, but it is how you get the best performance. Consistency is the enemy of performance.

I use pretty much all lowercase and hyphens or underscores. I'm too lazy to escape spaces and a lot of times too lazy to hold shift to get the underscore.

I have 3x office 365 accounts in there right now. All distinct logins.

Just try it guys...

Yeah, and the banners load after the page is up.

I use Comodo one to do this for my clients. It has a patch management feature.

Unless SW, as a company, changes policies, they won't see me.

I understand but I enjoy going to Austin and I have a good friend that I can see so SW is as important to me as the trip itself.

Are you going to MC this year?

Hopefully he makes it out to MC so he can hang with the team that got them their new SANs in place 😉

CANNOT. No time off. Boss would want me to take this as PTO and that bank is empty. I took time in May and now I have to start saving up for my August '18 trip.

Quit, find new job with more PTO?

@scottalanmiller said in MS VPN connection; Account locked:

To sign into the domain, your VPN goes up first. To sign into the laptop, you sign in cached and then fire up the VPN. There is a reason that VPN-first systems like OpenVPN, Pertino, ZeroTier, etc. are so important. They let you do things like central revocation because they always get updates from AD.

Correct. this is the problem. always.

How does that work when they are on a wifi connection that doesn't connect until after they log in to their laptop?

You have cached creds for that. Log in, connect, reboot.

I do have to give them credit for the Super Troopers reference in the second one.

Grandstream has an NVR unit as well.

If learning a Synology interface is the goal, I've got 2 junk units sitting on the shelf you can VPN into and muck around with, they are on the latest DSM.

My Brother HL-5170dn from ~2005 is still running strong.

@Tim_G said in Sage 50 Quantum in Hyper-V VM:

So when they are ready to make their software production-ready, it will be the other way around.

Exactly. Like if they ONLY supported VMware or ONLY supported Hyper-V or ONLY supported Windows we'd understand. Those are all potential production ways to run software. But a physical deployment? This means that they've never tested and don't support ANY production environment.

There is a big gap between having "one tested environment for production" and "not tested or supported for production."

Exact same reason we dropped FogBugz. They only supported non-production platforms.

I'm in Uppsala Sweden, all I found locally is this:

Voltage and such is a little bit different. I need something that will power this:

http://www.pcliquidations.com/p1844-inter-tel-axxess-550

WTF do you mean voltage is different? PoE is PoE. There is either 24V passive (older wireless stuff, and Ubiquiti) or there is standard 48V PoE/PoE+.

That DLINK is exactly what you need.

That drink is like 54 volts and 0.60 ma or something like that, slightly more than PoE injector I brought with me (0.15 I think without looking). I'd get that dlink, but im afraid it'll fry the phone, which is why im asking. I want to be be sure the slight difference in volts and bigger difference in mA is okay.

Higher amps are fine, it will only pull what is needed.

And the 902.3af standard is a minimum of 44VDC. The gernally accepted actual voltage is 48VDC.

54VDC is fine.

I went and got that DLink and is working great, thanks!

I still love XenServer and XenOrchestra as my one of choice for now. But then i'm only running small Linux/Windows servers on it anyway like Zabbix, Radius, Unifi. Nothing full production like the DC or Dynamics/SQL

Same here, but cautiously watching...

@fuznutz04 said in Microsoft Cloud PBX ~ Skype For Business ~ Anyone Using:

Yeah I looked at this a few months ago, and I agree. There is no threat at the moment. I don't really have any indication that it will get better. We'll see. Maybe MS will buy someone and piece together a "solution" like always.

I find it unlikely because the state of the system hasn't changed in a long time. It's settled into a long status quo of sucking.
