@FATeknollogee hi, what model of sfp are u using. I'm getting the same error. Thanks!

It looks like you'd probably want ZRS

I disable Windows Offline Files for that reason, it is a pain to deal with and causes more problems than anything else. But yeah, even if it was locked out and the computer went to sleep it will mark it as offline since the computer detected a change on the network connectivity.

^^This. I have been disabling offline files for 15+ years. It never works the way people expect. #chasingghosts

It’s been about two years for me too since moving away from Windows Offline Files to Nextcloud/OneDrive.

And no regrets, I bet.

I would expect a similar situation to still exist for the situation I put forth above.

same system before and after the fedora 31 upgrade.

@travisdh1 Thank you, the change there solved the issue.

You'll never guess who ran into that same issue just a few days before you posted. 😆

This is awesome. Thank you. I am energized now.

@Dashrender Yes. Yes it is.

@DustinB3403 said in Microsoft Fail - SQL Server on Linux does not log successful logins:

You'd SSH into your SQL server as a server user, and if you had to from there login to the SQL database as the admin (or another SQL user).

I don't argue that you could do this. However, tools like SSMS are great for syntax checking and providing other utility that, while could be done from a CLI session are more difficult.

This is especially true when altering stored procedures or running complex queries.

The cross platform CLI is still in beta. The Linux tool does alot, but not all the stuff you can do with SSMS or Azure Data Studio

Windows: SSMS does everything in GUI.
Windows/Linux/Mac: Azure Data Studio does everything via SQL, some limited bits via gui, but mostly just to create the SQL for you.

CLI is just raw SQL.

@DustinB3403 has no idea WTF he is talking about.

@Emad-R and @Dashrender lol rookies, I've been using FF since it was called Phoenix. And Mozilla Suite before that.

We're showing our age 😞

@JaredBusch how did you setup your NIC for the workstation that had to remote into the AD via ZeroTier? I'm still trying to figure out exactly what was statically assigned as your post wasn't too clear for me (this is new to me).

@pmoncho said in How do you get your departments to quantify what they actually need for their jobs:

Your more than welcome to dive into https://issurvivor.com/ and search his archives

His only mention of MSP is from Nov, 2000 when he discovered the term. And he talks about ASPs as well. I had started my first of both, over a hear before he heard the terms 🙂

https://issurvivor.com/2000/11/20/trend-overload-first-appeared-in-infoworld/

It really was a new term at the time. But he acts like the concept was new. It was very tried and true in the 1990s. It's an ancient article, just funny that in late 2000 he was thinking that MSPs were some hot, new thing, lol.

@scottalanmiller ehhh, this isn’t a university It’s a trade school (oddly one that certified people in CCNA, helicopter repair etc). It’s a decent trade school but I suspect like a lot of universities an schools in rural areas they count of low job competition for non-remote entry level work. For what it’s worth a large 4 year university on the Brazos was paying only 40K for The head of ResNet department.

Universities priorities are strange. From a compensation plan free student tuition, and free masters often mean they can treat a lot of salary positions line work study jobs from a comp basis.

For what it’s worth I’ll likely be (jetlagged) but back in Waco for the OU game (or any games after it). I’ve made it to only one game this season sadly.

I have friends who still live in Waco but they all work remote. There’s a decent work from home Wordpress community there. The job market isn’t great for IT infrastructure unless you have clearance but even then [Redacted] IT is so frustrating wild horses couldn’t drag me back into one of their offices.

Just move to Houston or Dallas or another market until you can skill up enough to work remote.

Normally, I start with 2 vCPU and 4 GB RAM for GUI-enabled Windows guests and 2 vCPUs with 2 GB RAM if they're GUI-less. Lots of trivial AD workloads like DC, DHCP, DNS, NPS etc. run fine with 1 vCPU but I found assigning one extra virtual CPU does make updates running somewhat faster. In most cases in my experience where VM CPU usage jumped above 75%, the spinning rust was the culprit, especially if a SAN was in use, it had nothing to do with the actual host's CPU power.

@scottalanmiller there is nothign wrong with the 5.2 kernel.
So put this last line, without the semicolon, in your /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

[main] gpgcheck=1 installonly_limit=3 clean_requirements_on_remove=True ; exclude=kernel*

Then remove the kernel so you can't boot to it (assuming 5.3.7):

sudo dnf remove kernel*5.3.7-200.fc30.x86_64

reboot to be sure it all comes up normal.

sudo reboot

Then do the normal upgrade to 31.

sudo su - dnf upgrade --refresh -y && dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade -y && dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=31 -y && dnf system-upgrade reboot

Then you can comment that exclude out and do a normal update.

sudo dnf upgrade -y --refresh

And if it fails to log in still, so what. just select the 5.2 kernel again like you do now.

@Dashrender said in Email investigation - have we been hacked?:

one of the addresses is for an @ameritrade.com address, but only for one person. I have yet to find any connection via google searches between this person and ameritrade.... so I'm not sure why this was tried?

Thoughts?

You dont have that data either, right?

What do you mean?

@WrCombs Also remember once you have vm's setup and running they are just files. So that also makes it real easy to backup with robocopy, veeam, rsync or borg. Its one of the many great advantages of virtualizing, your expanding your options alot.

This is interesting - definitely learned something today!...

Thanks

@Pete-S said in Does VMware have developer/trial licensing?:

I was wondering if VMware has some kind of developer licensing for ESXi, vSAN and vCenter or if they can be installed on some kind of time limited trial license for testing?

Thanks!

You can download almost anything for a free trial and get a time limited key. For a lab/testing enviroment VMUG advantage is cheap as chips. If you just want to kick the tires on something Hands on Labs are not terrible.

@Francesco-Provino said in Nu Shell, a New PowerShell-inspired Shell for Linux:

Nice, but why use this when we have the real PowerShell for Linux?

Performance probably. And ease of use. And while PS is on Linux, does it process any Linux data in this way?
