got it working. I did the burflags thing. On the server throwing the 13508, I backed up sysvol, stopped ntfrs and changed the registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup\BurFlags to D4 , started ntfrs, and then went to the other two domain controllers.
On them I stopped ntfrs and changed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Backup/Restore\Process at Startup\BurFlags to D2
and started ntfrs.

after a few minutes the logs were clean. I logged in to a workstation and group policy didn't throw any errors.

@scottalanmiller without that css file the tooltip is running

Yes I am still getting error messages (but posting is working at least now).

@Dashrender said in How Complete is XenServer Really:

This alone means that the CEO should be doing everything in their power to do things fiscally responsible, and not waste money. Though it's not a legal mandate like it is in public companies,....

That's why lots of people chose the non-profit world. It's the easiest path to pocketing charity contributions. You can take home so much more money than you can in the for-profit world without having to be good at your job, just not bound by the moral obligations of normal society. Non-profits are built almost totally around moving money inappropriately. And the ease of overpaying vendors and getting kickbacks is so high that it is hard to resist.

And it is all empowered by the general assumption that non-profit management is inept and illogical - this socially accepted failure to do their jobs becomes the means by which taking the charity contributions home gets hidden.

I've also used New Relic for my web application monitoring via Cloudways. It's good.

Thanks again to everyone who replied and gave feedback on this. It's great to know that there's a solid community of knowledgeable people who are willing to share their expertise - I really appreciate it!!

Sadly we didn't find your solution. But happily you found it on your own!

@scottalanmiller Ok Thank YOu .Its already suggested by thwr

Whoops 🙂 Well it looks like a good one.

It's quite a good show, I watch it often. Good place for science news.

@scottalanmiller Ah, yes. That would be a more efficient way of doing it. I was too excited from finally gaining some understanding of mount point concepts, I didn't think though the best way to move the data. 🙂

@scottalanmiller Isn't that part of why we all virtualize so we don't have deal with raw?

You can still snapshot raw. Raw can be an image file or a volume or a full disk. Raw doesn't mean not virtualized.

RAWs biggest limitation is you can't storage vmotion it. You can vmotion the pointer but if you are retiring a SAN or something you will be doing it manually.

Ya I'm using KVM so I can either move the raw file or the volume to wherever I need it. It's really simple with qemu and lvm.

Someone might have talked about fail2ban somewhere recently.

Definitely in theory, if Mint installs it will all just work and work really well.

@thwr said in How old is too old to start down this path:

Programming is different. You need a high level of abstract thinking and - at least that's my opinion - you must be creative. @scottalanmiller said something very true, programming is like paining or playing an instrument. There is some, hell, how to say... There's a hidden picture deep behind tens or hundreds of thousands of lines, something you can actually feel at times. Sounds stupid, I know 😉

IT in terms of administration, deployment and similar tasks is also a big thing, where analyitical and problem solving skills are required, but it's not like (real) programming. Remember: Programming != ("Coding" || Webdesign || Printers) 😛

Scott Hanselman had a podcast a few weeks ago about code smells. I think that is the feel you are referring too.

YEs, that is it. Standard term "smells" believe it or not.

@dafyre said in Hyper-V dynamic memory - reason not to use?:

I've only heard that it's a bad idea to use on things like SQL Servers and such. I see no reason not to enable it for anything you expect to be constantly fine tuning the memory usage.

I have it enabled on my VDI VMs here. I'd probably enable it on file servers, and IIS servers. Probably not on DCs though.

Just my 2c worth.

SQL will eat up as much as you give it so it's a bad idea.

Whoops, theyre 160GB and the above link is right.

@Dashrender said in Fiber GBICs:

I have an HP switch with an LC SX fiber GBIC.

Do you know, or think - please indicate - if that will work when connected to a ES‑48‑500W with a 10GTeck SFP SX GBIC?

Are you asking if the SFPs will work in the switch or if the SFPs will talk to each other? if you asking if they will talk to each other yes, It's still ethernet. As long as you are using the same type of fiber SFPs (or ones that will take SMF and MMF) and the correct speed and micron then they will work, that is unless you try something stupid like using a SMF run a few feet apart you will burn out the SFP.

But it is standards based and it is still just ethernet, the one side doesn't care what brand is on the other. It's the same as plunging a CAT5 Ethernet cable into dissimilar brands of switches.

@dafyre said in Shared Calendar Exchange 2016 - Non Outlook user:

I was under the impression that Mac Mail integrated nicely with Exchange (including Contacts & calendards, etc)?

Has this been tested?

It does but it uses active sync only just like mobile devices so some of the features like sharing, public folders etc will be limited. It needs additional connections for that. Heck I think on Macs the GAL isn't even supported.

It's been a few years since I've touched a Mac on Exchange, but ours worked well with it, and Calendar sharing as well. (We didn't use public folders or anything).

In Apple Mail? He said no Outlook App

Apple Mail != Outlook.

@Dashrender said in Enterprise USB drives:

@DustinB3403 said in Enterprise USB drives:

@JaredBusch actually you can clone a USB from a working xs install, use the clone to boot, and just go.

No need to repoint to the storage or make any changes.

JB's point I think is that if you have an old clone, the metadata might no longer be valid.

epic eyeroll

My point remains the same.

Our colocation has raised floors, fully redundant diesel generators, and 50k gallons of fuel onsite. The building is designed to withstand some crazy high winds (can't remember the exact rating, but we went 'wow'). Plus fully redundant internet connections with failover set up (assuming the 'net is still up during a bad storm or tornado).
