I suggest looking into the salt Logstash engine

@Grey said in GPO for compatibility mode:

A previous admin created a gpo to alter and add an entry under the hive HKEY_CURRENT_USER in Key path Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Ranges\Range66 which forces a single entry for compatibility mode. I've spent a lot of time testing and, while the setting is to apply once and not again, it doesn't seem to allow a user to add more sites to compatibility mode and keep that addition after a reboot.

Has anyone successfully created a GPO for IE11 to enable CM for users to add items, while also pushing a list of our own? Is there a best method around for achieving this goal?

I have not, I only keep adding it through GPO (In the medical field which they have many sites as this).

Ditto - Just have to keep adding them via GPO. So glad we barely use IE 11 anymore.

Yeah me for posting shit always.. Just needed this again.

Saw the error and I was like.. hmm I posted about this.

Thanks @IRJ I'll check it out.

@scottalanmiller said in Kvm network troubleshooting:

Your server has an IP address of 192.168.122.1? Is that correct? Nothing wrong with that technically, but it would be exceptionally unusual. That's almost always the gateway address. What is the address of your gateway?

That's libvirts virtual bridge address for the NAT network.

Oh, duh, I missed the bridge. Carry on. 🙂

I should give Ansible a go one of these days, because whenever I research it, it seems to fall short of Salt, but it would be nice to really have concrete experience of how it falls short.

My current thinking is that if there's a windows feature that Ansible that Salt doesn't, I could probably just grab the powershell script + any dependent scripts and create Salt state/module wrappers around it.

Alternatively, Salt can run Ansible playbooks on minions, but the wrapper approach is more minimalist (don't have to install Ansible on each minion) and keeps secret security simpler.

It is because of this licensing discrepency that we know that CloudAtCost was running a scam. They advertised Windows servers that were unlicensed, and unlicensable.

My co-worker thinks he may have a workaround, which involves backing up the user profile, deleting the existing one and restoring the files for the user.

We're testing this currently to see if this actually "sticks".

Did it work?

Waiting to hear back

@JaredBusch said in How to adminstrate a handful of Windows workstations?:

Everytime I want to do something, I would make it a powershell script and save it.

With remote powershell enabled on all workstations, it should be fairly effortless to maintain.

Some individual tasks might take more time than it seems worth at first to figure out how to script it, but int he long run it will be the best solution.

So you're saying I should keep the workstations as they are, but administer them as a group by using remote powershell?

Yes. For example, somewhere on here, I have a Poweshell script posted that let's you install printers.

Edit: Here is that post

@travisdh1 haha, true on the waiting part. something always better is going to come out.

I will go ahead and pick up the 2700x.. Wish they had CPU only, as I don't need the cooler as I just got a new one last month, but I don't see one anywhere like how the 1700x was.

You should test the CPU/memory/MB system before doing anything. Search for memtest86.

@jmoore said in NodeBB 1.11.2 Error Connect EMFILE:

@scottalanmiller Is that why the site fails to load at times then?

Not every time, but a few times.

So we did an older restore and the issue was resolved. This error was caused by ransomware.

2019/02/27 09:23 - I posted on the FreePBX community. 2019/02/27 15:13 - Another user commented they also had this issue. 2019/02/27 16:31 - I submitted a support ticket. 2019/02/27 17:03 - Sangoma replied stating this was not any kind of known issue and I needed to install their SSH key package to let them check the server. 2019/02/28 08:52 I replied that I had added the SSH package and updated the firewall to let them connect. 2019/02/28 09:49 Sangoma replied that the files were missing on the remote server and showed the log error. 2019/02/28 10:05 Sangoma replied that an internal trouble ticket was created. 2019/02/28 15:58 Sangoma replied that the issue was resolved. 2019/02/28 19:26 I confirmed that the firmware was downloadable

This is not any kind of response time that I can complain about. I do wish there had been known information on how to find the EPM download errors. I would have likely been resolved much quicker.

That's why I posted here. Search engines can get this out there.

@scottalanmiller said in MechCentral Feature Request: Blank Background Wallpaper Option:

A feature that I would really like to see on MeshCentral is the option to have background wallpaper blanked out. This reduces bandwidth needs and often goes a long way to improve responsiveness and look & feel when using remote access. Many customers and users have rotating backgrounds that just destroy remote connections.

@Ylian

Already submitted a request on github?

Does the message trace in Exchange tell you anything? I know that when I had on-prem exchange and barracuda, I had weird issues where the attachment size restrictions being smaller/more restrictive on the Exchange server exhibited this behavior. The barracuda delivered, but Exchange rejected due to policy.

@atahaynah said in Cockpit:

@DustinB3403 it was stopped

But fortunately i got it resolved i had to downgrade one packege and after that restarted the service and it worked

What did you downgrade to fix the issue?

@scottalanmiller said in Amazon Lightsail OS Choices:

@JaredBusch I wonder how performance compares.

Price is on par now, but historically the price drops lag behind. Since it is a subscription model, the historic price modelling makes it more expensive. If we are deploying a workload only momentarily, we assume that the prices are on par. But from past performance, the expectation is that any long running workload will cost more over time.

Perfomance is good, I have customers on it and works well but it is based on Bitnami for a lot of apps like Wordpress.

FFS. It is a VPS. Not an app system. Yes, there could be some apps preset to spin up just like DO and Vultr do.

Yes....

So the whole thing is not based on Bitnami......

Correct, I said it wrong and for that I apologize. What I really was trying to say was that Bitnami is what they use for running Wordpress if you use their template for WordPress and other applications (But yeah it is not an OS). As below

Hi Guys
Wonder if you can help shed some light on this.

I have a Hyper V core host machine with 2x VM's installed (1x DC and 1x SQLServer).
We have a USB device (8TB) plugged into our host, (put offline) and then bought online within our SQLServer. This has been working well and we use the USB to backup.

HOWEVER, recently the USB from the SQLServer has disappeared and we cant bring it back online! We've rebooted servers but it still wont show up on our SQL Server.

Note: we use Windows Admin Centre to manage the host and VM's and in the pic you can see within Admin Centre you can see in the settings for the SQLServer shows our 8TB Hard Drive, however when we list disk's on the actual VM we dont see it!!! DiskMago.JPG

Can anyone help identify how we can bring our USB back online?
This did happen before and it seems the way we bought it back online was by going on site and using Hyper V Manager software to re-attach the drive but seems a long winded way to bring it back visible. Any ideas?

Thanks

Any reason to not just create a VHDX on the usb drive and attach that to the VM? Passing the usb drive from the host to the VM I don't believe is actually supported. It may work but clearly not reliable.

In order to pass it through the VM needs to have the Storage of the VM as SCSI Controller and add a hard drive and then set it as offline on disk management.

Not what anyone is talking about.

okay, didn't know that.
