@Reid-Cooper said in Standard Plugins for WordPress Sites:

Thanks guys. Seems like not too many people have plugins focused on performance. I'm surprised, seems like those things would be pretty common.

When I go to my WP site, performance seems fine.

Are vendors like Meraki doing anything more than a traditional VPN site to site setup? I don't normally think of vendors like that in conjunction with SD-WAN.

I'd be interested in hearing what you try out and how you are using the solution.

@smartkid808 We should get Aventis in here to say hello!

I have reached out to them, and will see what they say. Also reached out to TrippLite

Awesome!

@FATeknollogee said in Existing AD...prefer to create New Site?:

I've got to figure out how I can run in parallel with 2 different network/subnets

Why change the IP scheme?

Preference & it's an easy way to identify "rogue" devices.
Current scheme is 192.168.1.x
I'll do a 10.200.10.x (or something similar)
Which means I should never see any device with a 192.168.1.x address on the network.

This part is simple, you just add the 10.X.X.X to everything and add a rule to route between it and the 192.

You don't care about connectivity at this point.

Everyone will still use the old LoB app on the new network, you jsut might have to teach them to runas or something depending on how it actually runs.

Simplified, but you get the idea.

Is anyone using the ubiquiti unifi video software?

I am and I also have Wyze.

What cameras are you using with the Ubiquiti nvr?

Does the ubiquiti unifi only work with ubiquiti cameras

Stolen from their forum:

the UniFi Video software (UFV) only works with Ubiquiti cameras and that the UniFi Video Cameras (UVC) only work with UniFi Video software. Ubiquiti is on record as stating that there is no intention for UFV to support other brands of camera.

The Unifi Video software can stream an RTSP feed of each camera, but the cameras have to connect to Unifi Video first.

Just a note on this in case it's missed. All of the G3 camera's, when setting them up, provide the option for "standalone" (your own RTSP server) or "UniFi Video" (their software/hardware) in the later firmware.
I have a few G3-Flex going to BlueIris without issue and no UFV in the chain.

Correct.

@RojoLoco said in Looking for good source for custom USB drives:

@ysapir not sure why anyone would need to pm you when you provided a link. Pretty sure everyone around here is capable of clicking a link and figuring out how to place an order without the intervention of a sales drone.

Public links go to MSRP, not the actual pricing.

@dafyre said in Backup Options - Licensing Costs - Storage Targets:

When we start looking, we'll start with the usual culprits like Veeam. ShadowProtect comes highly recommended to me by several folks (Including the guy who just built the ReadyNAS)... We'd hit the other major players as well.

So cost is going to bite you in the ass, since you said there were concerns about licensing. But they are all valid options.

@dafyre said in Backup Options - Licensing Costs - Storage Targets:

Good Backup Compression / Deduplication is a must. We have ~30TB of systems and data.

You can perform the compression on your storage layer or use dedup or both. This may affect the overall performance though.

@dafyre said in Backup Options - Licensing Costs - Storage Targets:

We don't care if it's full install, agent based, or Hypervisor based. It just needs to work.

Based on this I would think Agent based would be a decent option. But didn't you say you have something along the lines of 300 VMs? Might become tedious.

Yeah, we'd likely do the dedupe at the Storage layer. Our Current Nimble devices do this relatively well with our live data. Something like 1.3 or 1.4 to 1 compression is what i remember. It may be more or less.

If we went Agent based, we can push the agents via PDQ Deploy for Windows and a shell script or something for Linux. (Most of our Production Linux systems are SLES 12)... If reboots are required, systems can be rebooted during our patch window... (5-7am every day).

@Dashrender i have remote.

@JaredBusch Glad it worked as intended.

@Obsolesce said in Correct license for a Win 10 Veeam backup server on Type-1 Hypervisor:

Just remember that per the Win10 EULA, you can only virtualize Win10 if it's the only licensed Windows VM.

I don't have it in front of me to verify, but that's what I remember reading on there. Will verify a bit later.

Thats not the issue. And not the case. VDI licensing gets you around that. But nothing gets you around the no-server use EULA.

Did not know VDI was involved in the OPs case.

Its the licensing for more than one Windows workstation on a server.

Yeah:

@travisdh1 said in LastPass on 1809:

@Dashrender Are you trying to download it from the Windows Store? Of course you have to have a Microsoft Account to get it from there, even the free version. Just get it direct from LastPass.com

incorrect as the above screenshots show.

@maximus DHCP could have been turned on accidentally and the IP address can change like that obviously.

Is there anyone out there using OV non-company wide with spread payments?

If so, I am trying to find out if I should purchase all licenses that I think I MAY need upfront?

If I can add to my license (additional CAL's or Server License), how is it calculated if it is during middle of the license year?

All of our clients, and us too, run Open Value Agreement with the spread payment option. Company-wide was too restrictive so we never did go with it.

Here are the numbers I get using MS License Advisor (for part numbers) with pcm.com pricing.
Does that look roughly correct?

Hi @stacksofplates. Did you find something about virt module.
Here's https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/virt_module.html#virt-module link.

But, I cannot build a machine? with creating command.
by the way: your article is awesome.

Yeah that's why I wrote this. That virt module doesn't support cloning systems. I never got around to linking that module. I'll see if I can find it again. You just need to put it in your local module library and then you can call it like any other module.

@scottalanmiller said in O365: OWA Recover deleted Calendar:

Now that we can mark them, I'm going to slowly try to work through getting them all closed.

I was going to unmark as question - since it was so old. I don't know if you can do that, but on topics of a certain age, you may do this rather then bringing them forward.

Up to you of course.
