    Meh, what difference does it really make? If anything, I'm glad. Having high quality hardware allowed a lot of shops to try to justify buying something that was fundamentally wrong for an unrelated reason.

    Thanks. That's what I thought but you never are sure when reading Microsoft terms. As Eric Siron who writes @ Altaro Hyper- V blog says "Concise and Microsoft Licensing will never intersect".

    Of course not, that is one way they sell way more licenses than are actually needed.

    I'm looking for something to serve that file that I can run on a Win10 machine. My search foo is failing probably due to not having the right search terms.

    Nothing needed, Windows 10 does that natively.

    Really? WTF are you on today?

    Mine does. We use it constantly. It's how we use SSH to automate Windows 10 PowerShell.

    Suweet! Thanks for that! 🙂

    You bet. We've been SO happy with it. It's allowed us to make Windows so much more efficient by using Linux front ends that contact Windows via SSH. So our users are on Windows only for seconds, and get to do all of their real work on Linux.

    How can I do full disk encryption post installation on Fedora?

    Do you need encryption on the OS for some reason? General you'd just encrypt /home. That assumes the system is secured properly in the first place.

    I don't know how to enable full day of encryption after installation of the top of my head. Reinstalling is really easy tho, just backup and restore /home. All you're settings should persist with just that, and reinstalling you're programs is easy and quick as well.

    hmmm... So no real reason to encrypt the OS? If my laptop is lost, and a someone resets password, will they be able to access my home directory?

    No, that's the point of encryption.

    So just encrypting the home directory will accomplish what I need?

    Yes.

    @phlipelder said in Default printer Webex on Remote Desktop Session:

    I gather that the terminal client MSTSC has local resources unchecked?

    Are the printers set up on the Session Host(s) that the users would be using? Are they allowed to choose the default printer via Devices & Printers (Control Panel) or are they not able to get into any Control Panel applets?

    Yes local resources unchecked.

    Yes, each session has printers setup on them. They are allowed to choose the printer they want.

    Everything works except the default printer keeps changing to WebEx.

    @storageninja said in Cisco SmartNet:

    @dave247 it’s basically a people management platform. Can have a system do a sales manager can tap calls and recordings and do all kinds of metrics they integrate to the CRM. I’d argue avaya is more powerful, but call manager isn’t something you Casual replace with an open source PBX.

    Now call manager express (its little cousin) is a basic PBX with unity for voicemail. If you went call manager instead of express I assume someone had some fancy needs.

    We actually had an old Avaya PBX for the last 7 years or longer. It was quite simple and did the job.. CCM is a fucking nightmare with how many menus, sub-menus, sub-sub-sub-sub-sub-sub menus and such.. not to mention all the servers and sub-server-applications involved. You'd think it was designed for companies with thousands of employess, not under 100. OH WAIT.

    Why would you make a domain controller like this? Of all workloads, should not be this way.

    I recall reading a MS article stating 😄 should have the OS installed but then a second drive should be used as SysVOL/Logs

    No, that's not a normal or recommended setup. Maybe for some very specific scenario, but absolutely is not a good default. Default is one 😄 for everything. For DCs, always a single drive, never do this extra stuff. This is what we call "getting weird."

    Ran the Diagnostics logging and came back with this:

    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms821096.aspx

    Explanation:
    RASGTWY.DLL is missing or corrupted.
    User Action:
    Either copy RASGTWY.DLL from your installation disks to the C:\WINNT\system32 directory or reinstall the Remote Access Service. Use the Network option in the Control Panel to remove and then reinstall the Remote Access Service.

    Okay.. What/where i that. since RAS is not checked in Windows Features

    Check the destination folder... C:\WINNT hasn't been used in... along time.

    Folder does not exist.

    @dafyre said in Ubuntu Questions:

    If your Subnet is 255.255.255.224, then that's not going to work... The math works out to where you have two usable IP addresses with that subnet.

    Check and make sure you have the subnet mask right.

    .224 is not 2 IP addresses. That is a /27 with 32 IP addresses in the block with 30 usable (one of which is the gateway) in the traditional method of ISP handoff. But that is also not what he has. see the other post.

    You are indeed correct. Some dummy didn't use his cheating tools correctly yesterday.

    @stacksofplates said in Best way to backup big data...:

    We use Exagrids and tape. Though for only 45TB you could just build a box and Colo it. RHEL/CentOS now have VDO support so you get dedupe and compression on those volumes.

    A supermicro box with 24 8TB drives is around $13K. That's around 90TB in RAID 10. I don't know pricing for smaller because we build with those. But it shouldn't be too expensive to build your own and ship to it off-site.

    If it's large files likes raw video then compression and deduplication is unfortunately of very limited use.

    We just use a standard supermicro 4U server with 24x3.5" drive bays. Running software RAID-6 with very modest hardware specs we have 250MB/s sustained write and 700MB/s read. More than enough to saturate a dual gigabit network link.

    Two RAID-6 arrays with twelve 3.5" 10TB enterprise drives in each will give you around 200TB of storage. Or perhaps three RAID-6 arrays with 8 drives in each giving you about 180TB.

    The most money in this type of config will be in the drives themselves. 10TB Seagate Exos X10 are about $330 each so 24 drives is $8K.

    I don't have experience with that particular brand but have used Intels NUCs in a number of different applications.

    I think the CPU is too weak on that one. Intel have a couple of NUC models that are priced similarly and some with bundled Win10 and memory / HDD so I would have a look at those. Look for instance at the older model with the J3455 cpu.

    We have both the Dell USB-C docks and a couple of the Thunderbolt models. So far we have had no problem with the USB-C. I even use one for my machine. The Thunderbolts were a bit problematic around the first part of 2017, but after several firmware updates they seem to have stabilized.
