@Emad-R said in Installing MS SQL Server Express on CentOS:

Et me guess it is much faster on Linux than on Windows server

No idea, but it is one less Windows Server license needed.

Also MS SQL Server Express works well for many tasks.

@scottalanmiller said in MeshCentral never updates the display name:

I would prefer hostname as a separate "detected" field that is always there, and the display name as one that doesn't change on us.

I don't care what the default setting is, as long as it is a setting that I can choose, because I will hate having to update crap all the time.

switches had gone err-disabled so I just sorted that and we're off and running once more.
Thanks for the help.

Fun fun, we deal with this in NY City with Cogent a lot...

That has been the worst install of a CRM I have ever done even in Ubuntu. Heavily do not recommend it.

@Pete-S Good to know. Thanks for the link.

@JaredBusch That's nuts!

Another Reason why KVM is superior.

Btw I tried Hyper V manager on Win10, and used Gen2 VMs as oppose to using my standard VMware Workstation or Player or VirtualBox, and I was unable to complete the OS install cause it did some checkups on the VM and ISO and told me that the licensing was not valid, however I think cause I slipstreamed offline updates on the ISO that caused the issue.

It feels when you even wish to try MS stuff, they try to give you the finger some how.

How much RAM did you assign to the VM?

It was not RAM issue, it literraly came up and told me you dont have valid license

The same ISO works perfectly in VMware, what they think we should buy stuff and support without testing it first for the first decade or so.

This is why I asked about the RAM.

Ok I give you that, A feature that they enabled called
dynamic memory
breaks the install of their very own Win10 install. Even though they could have made better error log.

But when I wanted to use VMware Worksation again i was blocked. It gave me another error after Hyper-V got installed. Like WTF breaking the leader in Virtualization to promote your own shit. apparently Vmware WS and Hyper-V can not go exist. so i said screw it, never again, I will learn hyper V if i was forced in company but no need to bother with it now .

I've tried that, always seem to get stuck with the "enter a code" issue.

You are going to force me to test those instructions aren't you?

Tested what I typed above.. Works perfectly.

Well then - I guess most of the world is idiots

That should fall into the "well duh" category. Of course most of the world is idiots.

Along this line - the boss wants me to add to my duties - I now get to train our users on how to use a computer as well as how to be security minded. i.e. don't plug in random USB sticks into a computer, etc.

You aren't blocking USB drives today?

nope.
That was just one example.

Then there is the need to still use DVDs around here - that one I couldn't block.

@Dashrender said in MS's plans for Windows 10?:

WAT? Windows 10 was released in July 2015, so if he purchased them in March of 2015, no they wouldn't have Windows 10 rights. If he purchased them post July 2015, then maybe, but not 100%, it will have rights for Windows 10 - many manufacturers sold Windows 7 licenses only after the release of Windows 10.

Everyone had full upgrade rights, no complications, for quite a while when first released. Even if your current OS was older.

Thanks that is nice info

You may want to try:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties *|Select SamAccountName,HomeDirectory,HomeDrive

and see if that returns what you are looking for.

@jmoore said in Spare box is sitting idle. I7 32GB RAM. Which flavor should I run:

@scotth My workstation at work is kvm with fedora under it. I use windows 10 and opensuse vm's under it through virtual machine manager. It works very smooth and never had a bit of trouble.

I never tried OpenSuse. After I get this going, I'm going to setup Hyper-V on my brother's server. I may give it a go. He's running Kodi on Windows which works fine. I want to setup a Kodi only box and feed it out. I'm doing this at home on XCP-ng and it works great. I use the Emby addon and it streams beautiful to anything in the house no matter the original resolution.

Mostly want to make sure upgrading will not affect the sync portion.

AADC you can use if you have AAD. I don't think it depends on any user licenses specifically.

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5322#section-3.6.2

Originator Fields

The originator fields of a message consist of the from field, the
sender field (when applicable), and optionally the reply-to field.
The from field consists of the field name "From" and a comma-
separated list of one or more mailbox specifications. If the from
field contains more than one mailbox specification in the mailbox-
list, then the sender field, containing the field name "Sender" and a
single mailbox specification, MUST appear in the message. In either
case, an optional reply-to field MAY also be included, which contains
the field name "Reply-To" and a comma-separated list of one or more
addresses.

from = "From:" mailbox-list CRLF

sender = "Sender:" mailbox CRLF

reply-to = "Reply-To:" address-list CRLF

The originator fields indicate the mailbox(es) of the source of the
message. The "From:" field specifies the author(s) of the message,
that is, the mailbox(es) of the person(s) or system(s) responsible
for the writing of the message. The "Sender:" field specifies the
mailbox of the agent responsible for the actual transmission of the
message. For example, if a secretary were to send a message for
another person, the mailbox of the secretary would appear in the
"Sender:" field and the mailbox of the actual author would appear in
the "From:" field. If the originator of the message can be indicated by a single mailbox and the author and transmitter are identical, the "Sender:" field SHOULD NOT be used. Otherwise, both fields SHOULD appear.

Note: The transmitter information is always present. The absence
of the "Sender:" field is sometimes mistakenly taken to mean that
the agent responsible for transmission of the message has not been
specified. This absence merely means that the transmitter is
identical to the author and is therefore not redundantly placed
into the "Sender:" field.

The originator fields also provide the information required when
replying to a message. When the "Reply-To:" field is present, it
indicates the address(es) to which the author of the message suggests
that replies be sent. In the absence of the "Reply-To:" field,
replies SHOULD by default be sent to the mailbox(es) specified in the
"From:" field unless otherwise specified by the person composing the
reply.

In all cases, the "From:" field SHOULD NOT contain any mailbox that
does not belong to the author(s) of the message. See also section
3.6.3 for more information on forming the destination addresses for a
reply.

FFS no. That is not what anything is.

Instances that could be servers or desktops or WTF ever.

My apologies. I meant to put account.

Yes

Thanks!

@Emad-R I use it with Nginx all the time, I use it with Apache too, but I couldn't tell you about performance difference because I never bothered to benchmark it.
As for separation, I do use it in separate docker containers, I think all my instances connect to Nginx. The only place I use it with Apache is on the same VPS, but I see no reason you couldn't separate them and use TCP to connect.

In case anyone else is interested...
