@scottalanmiller said in Fedora install weirdness:

Ah, if DHCP was giving different IP addresses. that makes sense.

It has to. Because the installer uses the MAC address. But Fedora uses the Machine ID for DHCP identification.

@dave247 How much would the Win10 subscription be in comparison? With that you get a lot of goods.

Can I ask why you are protecting user devices though? Generally these have very little on them and through simple policy can everything be saved on your servers or cloud and thus don't need backup.

I would really like to do this. We have onedrive available for all of our users and I was thinking of coming up with some sort of system that just uses their onedrive as the primary source of their homefolder.

That's how I do it but we are using Nextcloud.

All users root folders under their user profile is linked to the actual folders in C:\Users\john.doe\Nextcloud{Desktop, Documents, etc...}. And the data is synced back to the Nextcloud server and that server is backed up.

How do you go about doing that? Editing the location of Desktop, Documents, etc... ?

Use Junction Points. Its like using symbolic links in Linux.

Oh... Duh, lol. Thanks.

I'm just trying to figure out how that would work if you have to do more than a few client machines at a time.

Something like this. It is not ready for prime time, but was my starting point last week when setting up a new desktop.

$User = Read-Host "Enter UserName" Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Desktop" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Desktop" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Desktop" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Documents" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Documents" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Documents" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Downloads" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Downloads" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Downloads" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Favorites" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Favorites" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Favorites" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Music" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Music" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Music" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Pictures" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Pictures" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Pictures" -Force Remove-Item -Path "C:\Users\$User\Videos" New-Item -ItemType Junction -Path "C:\Users\$User" -Name "Videos" -Target "C:\Users\$User\Nextcloud\Videos" -Force

where would this be run from, the DC?

This would have to be run from the End-user's computer from the looks of it.

You are trying to screw with the end user's folders. they have to exist, and you have to have rights to them. neither of which are true of an admin account.

Are you automating this -- then How?

If you're not automating it, then why not just manually add the folders to the NextCloud client?

/sigh FFS...

lol. I thought you were talking about the code...

Time to research a way to do that.

Remmina is not the tool for this job IMO. RDP with dual monitors is just a silly thing.

This has been a huge issue for me, requiring additional complexity and overhead of a domain for reliably (and simply) enabling / using the "nice" features of Hyper-V.

Our first sites are on it and others are updating today. So far, so good.

@JaredBusch said in Bi-Directional GIT:

@scottalanmiller said in Bi-Directional GIT:

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

I think the "proper" way is sub modules or something like that. I looked into this once a while ago when designing a git structure for one of our web service projects.

Depends what you want. If you just want the remote repo then use a subtree. If you want a specific commit from another repo then use a submodule.

I just switched to Webroot and installed it on a server. Webroot was blocking a program from running so I uninstalled it from the console but it didn't remove the webroot agent until I rebooted.

How can I migrate my VM's from Host 1 to Host 2 and ensure that the VMs don't attempt to automatically migrate back to their preferred host?

Migration? It's definitely not automatic in the least.

Planned failover? There's a checkbox to uncheck if you don't want automatic reverse replication and the VM to automatically start up. Could that be what you meant?

Of course it is. In an actual cluster. Which involves System Center Configuraiton Manager (SCCM).

@DustinB3403 used the word cluster, but he does not have one.

Oh shit, I missed that it was about a cluster. I was thinking Hyper-V Manager, right-click, live migration. Totally spaced there.

Yeah, that was my point, it is not a cluster.

It's been a while, so I missed some. Here's a much better break-down:

Did you manage to get in? I've been on the waiting list for months and even paid to be moved up, and they've not opened to me yet.

Not yet, but if this guy is just getting ready it could be a valid option.

Also, you have not been waiting months. The service has not been available that long.

I've been waiting months since they announced it. It is, AFAIK, not available at all yet.

Announced on Sept 27, so, you win. Months (plural) barely. 73 days, 2.5 months.

@DustinB3403 said in It Gets the Job Done:

"It gets the job done" could easily fit the bill in the scenario I provided.

All solutions work, and are OS agnostic. Barco Clickshare, AirTame, Mersive Solstice, ChromeCast etc etc.

They all work and meet the requirements, some are more expensive than others. But all work and meet the requirements. How much better do "I" have to do than just using "whatever everyone else uses and bought" (no one was ever fired for buying ibm) as the saying goes.

Right?

That's my point - that you are defining "working" incorrectly. There are two ways to do it. Does it "meet the minimum" or is it "at least attempted to be done well?"

No one, outside of IT, ever accepts "doing nothing" as working. It's unique to IT to accept zero evaluation as a guideline for success. If we use normal standards, we'd evaluate if the solution was acceptable based on it being good relative to other options, not evaluated in a vacuum.

Imagine a chef getting "pass/fail" on making a hamburger in school. Sure, it was uncooked and unedible, but technically ground meat made it onto a piece of bread. No one, ever, would accept that as "getting the job done" of being a chef. He might not manage to make the best burger, but he'd be expected to try and do better than just slapping meat on bread. If he didn't, it would be considered a fail.

@scottalanmiller said in Untangle Site to Site VPN Not Connecting:

We DID find last night that one machine had updated to a different version than the other. But the other is months behind but refuses to recognize that an update exists. Untangle claims updates are delayed to reduce server load and there is no option to control versions (basically... this is in no way a business product.)

There is always a way to force the updates, I bet this are actual old workstations or servers with Untangle, otherwise they would have been in version 14.1... This is not way configured the same for updates on both devices..

Don't think so, looking at the hardware they looked like store bought Untangle commercial devices.

Weird all around, but I understand 😞
