The process should be pretty simple. Unjoin the W2k3 machine from the NT 4 domain, rename the user's home folder, join it to the new domain, login as Admin and let it create the new profile directory. The use the profile copy options to get the profile copied over.

See the XP instructions here: https://kb.iu.edu/d/aidk

@scottalanmiller Also, using just using the root domain name for the conf file name is potentially confusing depending on how much you are hosting.

Even for my gaming website, I have a bunch of sub domains setup.

www.daerma.com.conf goes to the root and www.
oc.daerma.com.conf is owncloud
obelisk.daerma.com.conf is my nodeBB forum

That does not even get into what do you do about the ones that you have multiple TLD names for such as .it, .com, .org, etc.

If I was doing it over again from scratch, I'd probably not use USB.

That being said, I have not had any issues thus far.

Are you redirecting logs?

Yes.

@sn said in Learning Azure:

That is why I was looking for Azure in the first place.

Then drop Azure and switch to Vultr. No reason to even have Azure on the table. I know that people looking at Windows virtualization often jump to it, same as they do with Hyper-V, because of the "Microsoft" association. But it is a very bad choice here and should not even be on the short list. Vultr is drop dead simple, there is nothing to learn. Just set up your VM and go. You are in better shape out of the gate than you are spending lots of time learning how to deal with Azure. Even if you learn Azure extensively you will be overpaying for a more risky service than you would get with Vultr because Azure is not even meant for this use case.

I've looked through it before and must have just been stupid. There it was, a URLDECODE right in the middle. That was it!

@DustinB3403 said in CP - Dell vs HP server quotes:

I've received two quotes for new server hardware - one from our local reseller and one directly from Dell. As far as I can tell, the two quotes are identical spec-wise but the local reseller is almost $12k more expensive. Here are the two quotes:

Quote from Dell:
2x Dell PowerEdge R430 servers $6,665.60

2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs 2x 32 GB RDIMM Diskless configuration
1x Dell SCv2020 iSCSI SAN $10,303.26 14x Dell 1.2 TB SAS 12GB, 10k, 2.5" HD
1x Dell N2048 gigabit switch $1,693.49

TOTAL: $18,662.35

HP Quote from local reseller:
2x HP ProLiant DL360 servers $7,266.00

2x Xeon E5-2630 v3 CPUs 64 GB RAM (unknown configuration) Diskless configuration
1x HP MSA 2040 SAN $20,932.00 14x HP MSA 1.2 TB 10K SAS 2.5in drives includes $5,850 in labor so actual price
is only $15,082
1x Cisco Catalyst 2960-X gigabit switch $2,320.00

TOTAL: $30,518.00

Difference: $11,855.65

Is there any reason why I should choose the HP solution over the Dell solution? I will be running vSphere 6 on these servers. I'm not familiar with managing either server line so either way I'll be learning new management tools. When it comes to support I think I trust my local reseller more than Dell but $12k extra is hard to stomach just for that.

[Edit: CP Code M.]

Unless that OP is restricted to 1U hosts, I would go with the quote from Xbyte for Dell 730xd with same specs as in quotes is
0_1477764464719_upload-e7876862-aaf2-4c7d-9461-089a8141fab5

Multiply by 2, add Starwind's vSAN and a couple 10Gb NICs and he's done. Especially if only 2 hosts. Same(ish) price, way more reliability, better performance all around. I'd post that reco on SW but would likely get banned lol.

The one thing not mentioned is if there are other hosts connecting to the SAN.

Untangle. 😄

You've gotten to mess with that more than I have. Have you checked out the content filtering and such? Does it have a VPN client? I couldn't remember if OpenVPN is available on that or if I'm thinking of pfSense...

https://wiki.untangle.com/index.php/IPsec_VPN

Don't feel bad @zuphzuph - I installed Untangled at two NPOs and and if I could have found a small enough PC to run it at home years ago I would have. However - I was 'coerced' into not doing so and that it was a bad idea.

I have a UBNT ERL here at home now, I know one Untangled box I installed has been pulled, as it's now in the scrap pile here at home. Since it was hardware I had bought personally, they gave it back to me (minus the drives).

There are times though I still would like to have one running, just for giggles..

Feel bad about what? Find a bridge.

I understand Scott comment about trusting hyper-v vs. VMware but the reality of that situation bro I was down at the hyper-v is so young in comparison to VMware

I'm not recommending it here, only stating that it is a weird emotional thing for the manager to dis VMware for Microsoft in a place where it is a pretty obvious technical problem but not do it where it would make sense.

LOl is it really weird? or is it normal even though it probably shouldn't be?

This makes me very sad.

To have a powerful login script, it becomes pretty complicated though - compared to how easy it is to do in Group Policy.

As far as the original topic, I agree with using email address as login names. I would also make the usernames "guessable". That way if you know one employees email address is firstname.lastname you have a chance at guessing another employee's email address. Let's face it, spammers are going to get it anyways, so you might as well make it easy on your clients.

This reminds me of the electronic transfer devices used in the William Shatner book Series turned mini series, TekWar. Except it's contactless.

Though there's still tracking of the transfer, so compared to cash or BitCoin, still not a fan.

Man.... here I was getting really excited about a ML DnD game.

Hey... We could get one going... As long as it's not played on Tuesday or Friday nights!

Sure! I would love to play... not so much DM I do enough of that as it is.

This is the thing we need to try and make happen

So Co-Opting this thread DnD planning time?

@Murtlap said in Another Personal Storage Discussion:

@Dashrender yes it was talking about free vpn. Here is main disadvantages:
usafe or no encryption protocols;
IPv6 DNS and/or WebRTC leaks;
inconvenient queuing during a server accessing;
access to a very limited number of servers;
bans on Torrenting and P2P sharing;
limited Linux platform support as well as limited devices support

I don't have any of those issues with some free VPNs.

Looks interesting... I won't lie, I did expect something akin to what the IE team used to send to the Mozilla devs on a new version release of Firefox.

At home I pay 60$ for 50/5.

I've built one once... It was a Firewall / Router using straight up Linux, Shorewall, and ClamAV for a 10 meg connection. Our main firewall just went kaput, and the company was not responding to phone calls for support (it's a long story).

Set up Linux on a system with 8 NICs and went to town.

Edit:

It's not hard to build one if you understand the concepts of routing and such... Not for the faint of heart if you have to make one work well enough to be used in production.
