@Obsolesce said in Conatainers (Docker) vs VMs - When and Why?:

Are there many use cases in the SMB outside of Dev?

Not even in dev really for the SMB. Just use a single VM to do the work. SMB rarely needs to scale.

Other than as you stated, the solution is presented that way. Like UNMS.

Even enterprise rarely need to scale that way. It's more for hosting companies than anything.

@scottalanmiller I was considering rolling them back to last night as a last-ditch scenario is all fails since it is on Veeam and I have a Full from last night.

@travisdh1 This^^

If I ever feel the pinch of having "only" 1.5TB available on my home lab box, I know what I can do for an upgrade!

I'm using backstage more

I assume that this is a component of another product?

Part of ConnectWiseControl. (or ScreenConnect as we still call it around here.)

It's at the bottom of the View tab when attached to a guest. Takes you to a new sessions as a System account with a command prompt and powershell window already open. No limit to what you can accomplish there. many gui apps will run in backstage too.

@JaredBusch Yes, we were going to try to use the Pterodactyl panel to manage a server.

That has nothing to do with the point of this thread. Make a new thread if you want to discuss that.

In keeping with the thoughts about who allows you to use other name servers, we have been using DirectNic as our registrar for many years. Make sure to give them a look. The can register about any name you can think of including Columbia 😉 allow you to create your own custom name servers, and allow you to point to any name server you wish. This all means ultimate flexibility for us.

Fixed a small typo.

Checking out their github, it looks pretty new.

Good find.

You had said that the /etc/passwd table returned too many results. I asked that if you didn't want a list of all of the users on the system, how would you define an appropriate list to return as you obviously had to have some shortly list in mind to make the statement. I wanted to know, how would you describe a better return... which subset of users do you want returned when you query the userlist (everyone I know of what's all, not some kept secret.)

You agree not all, but you didn't explain how you would determine which ones to display and which ones to hide. And if the Windows tools don't show all, how do you manage the secret accounts that those commands do not display? Are you saying that there is yet another set of PowerShell commands to manipulate the true local user list?

Your response doesn't follow the discussion. Those are commands, not users.

Topic has been forked, please keep discussions of OS comparisons to a different thread.

Just ran updates in FreePBX and now the queue buildup is back. Guess I'll have to fix it the right way

Enjoy!

@Pete-S said in DNS woes:

If I understand correctly, DNS propagates everywhere anyway so what difference does it make? Or are the DNS records not cached/replicated?

It does, and they do. Propagation, caching, etc. all happens with DNS. But that doesn't mean that you don't still want your master DNS to be screaming fast, globally distributed, highly available, etc. If your DNS goes down, most DNS providers (Google, etc.) will known almost immediately and see your infrastructure as offline as part of their security system.

Awesome information about Backup & Restore and Filestore.

Added extra step of renaming file and deleting long garbage file name.

@stacksofplates said in Replacement Software?:

People are continually requesting it and they just say it's not on their roadmap. Oh well.

I wonder if they are sponsored by someone who won't allow it?

@WLS-ITGuy said in Windows Services not restarting:

Veeam is one of them. our print audit software is another. Anything that seems to be attached to a SQL instance seems to not want to start up after a reboot.

Have you tried setting them to delayed start? Maybe SQL Server is taking too long and they are hanging while waiting on it.

I thought I did that but guess not. We'll start there and see what happens.

@gjacobse said in Virtual Monitor software:

Working on an idea for a personal project.

I intend to use a projector for this, at least right now. But would like to see what are some suggested application for both Windows and linux

ETA: Virtual Monitor - as in split a single Display Monitor into two or more virtual monitors.

Does on of these two scenarios fit your goal?

Split the screen into multiple desktops and each space would have its own taskbar and running apps that would be trapped in that space?

or

The screen would be split into multiple spaces in such a way that if you went into Windows Display settings Windows would present you with what it believes are multiple physical monitors?

DisplayFusion does #1. I would love to see a driver that does #2
