I think I recall it's around $150-200/license for IP licenses - I'm not sure they have an actual SIP license. The phones don't talk SIP to the phone switch, they talk propitiatory Mitel by default.

@StrongBad said in ZeroTier Outage?:

As ZeroTier is network dependent, maybe the Internet network attacks are causing issues with some paths.

This is a likely scenario.

@IRJ said in Migrate and/or replace old cert server?:

I figured somebody would have yelled at you for running anything else on a DC already in 6 pages of replies.

I would build a new 2012 R2 DC, then transfer all roles then demote your old DC. I would just keep sharepoint on the old DC and call it a day.

We already have 5 other DC's. This last DC that I wanted to demote and remove cert services from is the last DC left in the original forest/domain that the admin before me built. I'm pretty much going to have to spend the next several weeks learning how to setup Sharepoint and migrate our existing server/data to a new member server. And trust me, I know it's stupid to run all that stuff on a DC, but I didn't set it up :-S

Sorry, I didn't read everything 😞

Wow, just wow. How old is this kid?

So hit a roadblock about code deploy. This was taken considering we update the files. Later realized that we might have user generated content/content added by admin via the Drupal CMS backened. In that case those files for example images will be saved on the one particular EC2 and during a scale down the instance could go down, or may not be available in the newly booted up instance.

Luckily Amazon have another service called Elastic File System used for such cases! I now moved the sites folder of drupal to EFS.

So basic Drupal core files on the EC2 AMI image i created, plus sites folder on EFS, with auto enabling that on each loaded instance by adding the below script:

#cloud-config package_upgrade: true packages: - nfs-utils runcmd: - mkdir -p /var/www/html/efs-mount-point/ - chown ec2-user:ec2-user /var/www/html/efs-mount-point/ - echo "$(curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone).file-system-id.efs.aws-region.amazonaws.com:/ /var/www/html/efs-mount-point nfs4 nfsvers=4.1,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576,hard,timeo=600,retrans=2 0 0" >> /etc/fstab - mount -a -t nfs4

I am hoping to do a video tutorial this weekend about the whole setup

I agree probably a NIC issue. I'd do a TCP stack reset. Of course that will knock it offline, so after-hours.

NIC on the virtual host since the file server is on a VM? Not everyone is locking up...but tends to be the same 4-5 people...can't imagine that many NIC's causing it and I've yet to duplicate it on my machine, WHEN I have the time...

Yes, on the VM, not the host.

@Mike-Davis said in who is calling WmiPrvSE.exe ?:

I was using Process Explorer. I just didn't see the check box for "User Name" under column headings. I turned that on, and it tells me "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" is the owner. I might just be wiping this laptop... I already uninstalled everything that I recently installed.

From what I read it seems like some kind of program that has a little status icon on the task bar might be the source. I'll see how I make out with a selective startup.

It's good practice to solve stuff like that but ultimately nuke/pave is faster and gets better results

@DustinB3403 Maybe this will work for you.

RocketChat is very nice.

Nothing that I've ever seen since the mid-1990s.

@jmaurelli awesome. Will see you there! Maybe @Shuey can join us this time, too.

I likely won't be able to attend next year, but I have a feeling I'll make it in 2018! 🙂

Now we are planning seriously in advance!

Command line management of Linux is actually super simple. I can't even figure out how to use a GUI most of the time 🙂

I don't know, those are definitely the standard initials for Scott Alan Miller. Coincidence?

I definitely think @scottalanmiller every time I see SAM, lol.

I knew that I couldn't be the only one.

Just modify the image and change it to CUT BUSINESS SPENDING by 30% ... lol.

Perfect

@crustachio said in What Tablet to Buy for $70?:

@alex.olynyk I can't remember specifically. I know there are differences depending on which model Fire you have. I have the plain jane, bargain basement one, it was like $30 last year on Black Friday. I think it's just called the Kindle Fire, not the HD. Anyway, I used instructions from XDA forums. Wasn't too bad. The Fire HD's could be completely different beasts.

We have that too, four of them in fact. They were $35 I think. $50 is full price.

Thankfully just a PERC, so pop out the old one, pop in the new, enjoy your coffee.

I know we've been over this before, but is there any way to ensure that doesn't blow a second drive? Or is that mainly age related, with a little bit of bad luck thrown in?

Ensure? No, that's never an option. But replacing a drive in mirrored RAID (RAID 1, RAID 10) does not increase the risk of another drive blowing. That's part of parity RAID, not mirrored. So you protect the "other" drives from blowing my choosing mirrored RAID from the outset.

I like to build "Internal networks" with some servers on "one side" and some servers on the "other side"... and put VyOS or pfSense, etc... between the two.

[Generally, I do this with VirtualBox on my laptop, but this setup also works well in Hyper-V]

@Tim_G thanks

@stacksofplates Good point. Something as simple as the network setup can completely change things.
