Also, nearly anyone can setup an Access created JetDB, but those same people probably have no clue how to transfer it into a SQLExpress

Pretty sure that it is just a check box when setting up your Access application.

I haven't created an Access created DB since Office 2007 or was it XP? I'm guessing that checkbox is new (to me).

@Kelly said in Hyper-V homework question:

I posted this on that other site, but it appears that you do the teaming inside of Hyper-V, and not in the host OS: http://www.serverwatch.com/server-tutorials/configuring-nic-teaming-for-virtual-machines-with-hyper-v-3.0.html.

As soon as the team is added, connectivity is lost. Can't even get as far as adding the adapter before connectivity is lost.

So... once you create the virtual switch in Hyper-V Manager Virtual Switch Manager, using the NIC Team you created on the Host OS, all connectivity is lost?

At that point, what do the event logs say? Is there some kind of weird MAC conflict? When you look at the connection status of the virtual switch in Control Panel -> Network Connections, what does it look like? Are you getting a 169 address? Is it all 0's? What's actually going on and what does Event Viewer say?

We are loking at replacing our ForeFron UAG for Skype for Business reverse Proxy with Kemp Load balancers; they provide a Sharepoint config guide:
https://support.kemptechnologies.com/hc/en-us/articles/203123539-SharePoint

They offer a free Load Balancer VM if you dont' need too much bandwidth:
http://freeloadbalancer.com/features/

I unfortunately am not part of the project team designing and implementing the Kemp solution so I can't tell you much about its capabilities YET

Thx for mentioning it. Unfortunately, we have some confidential (and up) data on our SharePoint. A third party reverse proxy might (in theory) copy the data using the users session. I'm not saying that Kemp is doing this, but on the other hand ... gov'd firmware on Cisco devices.

@IRJ depends on what you're looking to do. I have some just setup internally right now for auditing purposes only.

I learned Hyper-V inside and out when I was studying for my MCSA 2012. I have given up on Hyper-V. Other Hypervisors are so much better and have less issues. I tried using Hyper-V for about a year, it just isn't as good as other products out there.

In what ways? and at what scale?

For starters the compatibility with non-Windows Machines suck.

DId NextCloud build for Nginx? I've not looked yet. The ownCloud code base was specifically Apache, I thought?

I'm building out a Starwind SAN for this. It's partially done. But I've been traveling.

I use iftop: http://www.ex-parrot.com/pdw/iftop/

@Romo said in Bandwidth Usage By Host:

I use iftop as well.

Oooh, so if I mirror the port connecting to our WAN and put the NIC in promiscuous mode, iftop should give me what I'm looking for?

@Jstear said in Why is Hyper-V More Confusing:

I will mention that when I took Windows Server classes in college, we were using Windows Server 2008 R2 and installing the Hyper-V role. It wasn't until after college that I realized there was an actual free version called "Hyper-V Server".

Because.... College. 😉

Nah, I think that is pretty much the problem everyone has, and the root of a lot of this.

@Danp said in Phone Tone quality:

I would have thought the 'D' stood for Dial, not Dual. 😲

It's dual because the tones are a combination of two "pure" audio frequencies.

DTMF tones are fun to play with in an audio editor.

@JaredBusch said in ER-X static routing:

I would use a source and destination NAT rule to force it.

Thanks. I'll have to wait till after lunch or tomorrow to get that setup. Redoing the server over there as well, so no remote access at this point 😞 (I want my jumpbox back!)

yeah me too

We have replaced them everywhere with Ubiquiti stuff I don't think any of our clients have them remaining.

I have a feeling that given the question, they want the customer to put a written policy into place for whatever they describe in the paragraph.

That is special 🙂

No worries 😉
Hope you get it working.

If you can't cope with doing hyper-v well, you can't cope with XenServer, Yes you do get more toys immediately with XenServer but to use them properly you need that competence to use them safely.

I don't know if I agree. Installing XS well takes, like, zero effort. Take any decent commodity server, pop in the CD, it takes care of itself. It's done well (enough at least) out of the box.

Hyper-V is nothing like that. You will, by default, be led down all kinds of bad and confusing routes. You can do XS well long before you can even figure out how to acquire Hyper-V.

I literally built a brand new server in full disaster mode at 2am, the crucial time when I am bound to make mistakes, Hyper-V, 2 server VMs, all done nicely to a standard but most of the work was the guest VMs, the hypervisor was simple. Whether that's XS/ESXI/Hyper-v, they are almost apples to apples for installing, I mean maybe for fun we should line up a tech with the same hardware, video record time trial him installing each hypervisor.

Maybe the problem is that people who know choose XS and people who are confused chose HV? At one time, @John-Nicholson and I watched for like a year on SW and every single (literally EVERY single) mention of HV was because the person deploying it was confused and thought that they had to or were deploying something else or didn't know how it got there or thought that it gave them something that it did not. Every, single, one.

It might be the confusion leading people to HV, which then causes them to be confused about how to use it.

That you can use it well, already knowing how virtualization works, isn't relevant to the normal Windows world and isn't indicative in any way.
