@taurex said in Ubiquiti NVR Performance Improvement:

Are you recording most of your streams at full 30 FPS? Are you able to reduce it to 15 FPS and record motion only? This should cut down Unifi NVR's IOPS quite a bit.

I didn't think about changing the FPS, yes I'm noticing my NVR is THE Biggest talker on the entire network.

@Dashrender said in Windows RDS User Profiles - Migrate, Recreate or User Profile Disks?:

Cool, then you should have it easy.

FYI - Published apps still create a full profile on the RDS box, Just the desktop isn't presented to the user. If the application allows them to browse around, they could typically see the drive letters, the mapped printers, etc... that's why you still need to lock all that stuff down.

Thanks for the info. I will keep that in mind. I was debating about using UPD's like @wrx7m and that was my interest in this post.

Also, still planning out where to put Connection Broker, WebAccess and Licensing but that is another post.

For local profile management, UPDs are a lot cleaner. If we are not putting them on a file server across the network then a second partition/VHDX is set up for that task to keep them separate.

With the inclusion of FSLogix with RDS CALs/SALs now it's a no-brainer, IMNSHO, to set the project up on the FSLogix version.

Storage management is another reason why UPDs on a network or separate partition make sense. Keeping a local profile on the C:\ of the session host is messy and can cause issues down the road with users coming and going.

As far as the Broker/Gateway/Web put those roles on one VM but separate from the Session Host.

Will @BRRABill help, I found where to change the color setting globally for links.

Thanks Willard.

It's not about sensitive. Accounting departments can be incredibly cranky about things being negative and not "due". Negative usually means past due, and can get people up in arms.

Normally the system is pay ahead only, that he was able to port with no money on the account is odd. It is, under normal circumstances (and this is pretty standard for trunk providers for many reasons) standard to only allow you to pay ahead and send a notice when you are getting low on funds so that you can "top up", either manually or automatically. Under normal conditions here, I wouldn't expect a possibility of being in the negative.

This is true - our LNP team should not have ported the number without first reaching out to him about having a $0 balance. We made a mistake and we're going to be making sure to clarify that with our team 🙂

I intentionally didn't add funds to a new account I setup (but it does have a valid CC linked) and inititated a port request.

New process FTW. Good work @Skyetel

Thanks! We work hard to listen to everyone's feedback!

I'm a bad one to ask for this because I only have my RHCSA. I don't know why I don't do more certs, I still do all of the learning for these things, Im just not a good test taker so I think that makes me hold back a lot when I look at this stuff.

@JaredBusch said in Server 2012R2 DHCP reservations problem with my VOIP equipment?:

I never use reservations for phones.

Specifically with Yealink phones, I set the DHCP hostname value in the config file.

So when I am on the network, I can easily just ping ext103.domain.local and shit..

Or If I look at the DHCP server lease list, I see the hostnames listed as ext101, ext103, etc.

Love this idea

@JaredBusch The device is tied to the numeric extension, it lets you set the device's username to whatever you want.

The better question is why are you even thinking this is a good idea?

What benefit are you thinking you are gaining by using a non-standard approach?

All this does is complicate things by putting a random value in a place that is normally something that matches the extension. This is a 1 to 1 tie between this informaiton and the extension. There is no benefit to this.

Only after you've pigeon-holed yourself into that 1 to 1 relationship.

No, it is a 1 to 1 relationship regardless of if you use the extension or a name or a fuck01.

That auth name is 100% tied 1 to 1 to the extension.

Probably best, to help make people aware of how bad they are.

And cell phones have allowed pure 10 digit dialing for at least 10, though likely more like 15 years (when the plan simply included what used to be called long distance)

Since my very first one in 1996

My first was 1992, because of the reasons I mentioned above with the land lines and everything being long distance. Long distance on the cell in 1992 was so much cheaper than the land line cost per minute, that it paid for the cost of the cell phone!

Thanks for this ! Sorry for major necro-posting, but the recommendations in that article are pretty horrible (even as of the date of that article) - effectively: "With Windows, NTLM is easiest so just use that." That should be a non-starter.

I found the following that nicely covers using Kerberos with AD & DNS for managed hosts, which should be far preferable of course:

This version 4 feels snappy, like you are running on a "real" computer.
But storage speed is more like an old harddrive compared to a modern server with SSD drives. To bad they didn't put a SATA or something on it.

Serving up some pages on apache or nginx is no problem. Ansible installs fine. Packages in Raspbian seems to be just about the entire Debian repository for whatever odd thing you want.

It's for sure the best Raspberry Pi so far. Can be used for a lot more things than the old version 3.

@JaredBusch said in VPS injected ssh keys:

Under no circumstances do I actually want anyone's key tied to the root user. It negates all accountability.

It's for pre-production setup. Not for deploying straight to production.

Yeah I'm wrong. sudo being involved means it can't be privilege escalation because you're getting the proper amount of access.

@dbeato said in Server 2016 - Force Default Update Server to WSUS Server Via GPO:

This would have happened on Server 2012 R2 as well, dual scan has been around and causes a lot of problems as you noted.

It is strange that I didn't have these issues in 2012 R2. I essentially copied the same GPO for 2012 R2 and made some minor changes to it to convert it for 2016. My 2012 R2 show the correct default service.

Weird, I have various Server 2016and now 2019 with WSUS and while dual scan was an issue for me on Server 2012/ 2012 R2 not anymore.

Imagine when all of these bots are capable of advanced subterfuge. What is the average user going to do?

Well - as long as you have things like hashes to compare against, you at least have some form of protection - faking good hashes is beyond hard.
