My home computer just upgraded to 1803. We shall see how it goes.

I use DNSfilter for a client for simple filtering. It works well.

@scottalanmiller Ok thanks and interesting. I will have to research them some.

Was going to ask the same thing lol

The default dark theme is getting annoying, so I am lookint at other themes and found this.

Confirmed annoying.

[I found this BBB listing today(https://www.bbb.org/boston/business-reviews/telecommunication-equipment-repair/granite-telecommunications-inc-in-quincy-ma-81783/reviews-and-complaints)

Doesn't appear to be too good

Kinda fishy, yeah.

Anyone have valid links to the firmware for Aastra 6737i phones?

The Mitel site sucks.

This link works.

@momurda said in GPO - Unable To Deploy Java 10 64bit - Fails to install (1603 Error):

Try this

msiexec /i "jre10filename.msi" /q ENTERPRISE=YES

Just a long shot, obviously change it to the msi file name for java10.

I tried by modifying the MSI to enable ENTERPRISE, but I think that caused additional problems (should have used a transform). I just went ahead and deployed the newer version of 8 and kicked this down the road until January 2019 when 8 is discontinued.

Thanks for the help momurda, I appreciate it.

@scottalanmiller said in What Is Expected of Microsoft Server Support?:

Did they fix something broken with the OS that IT could not have fixed?

There are some quirky poorly documented things that are sometimes need to be done with ESEUTIL, and repairing from corruption, or failed log replays on Exchange and SQL. In theory it's not always Microsofts fault (caused by storage layer issues).

The other issue is driver issues for IO devices. In theory this should be transative (supported by teh OEM who agree's to support your OS). That said OEM's often don't support the free OS's because they don't have joint engineering commitements to fix issues on them.

RedHat has hard commitments from Avago/Broadcom to fix a driver HBA issue if they find it. Having a Server that has a supported OS means they have Avago's commitment to spend hundreds of thousands of engineering time to fix an issue. Redhat will possibly work to mitigate it from their side if possible. Missing the OS vendor in this conversation/effort can make things move slower or stall. Avago and other component manufactoreres will refuse support calls from a customer who bought the device through an OEM so without the OEM listing your OS as supported you are kinda screwed.

(A long time ago) I saw a case where a I/O device had outright buggy silicon, and a driver and OS side workaround was needed to resolve it. This is all the more fun as how the I/O device engineering teams work is they generally refuse to work with a customer directly and require the OS vendor escalate the issue to them.

@dafyre said in Suggestions for Unifi bridge:

@JaredBusch -- What about the places where they likely need to be mounted outside?

most are outdoor compatible and work well.

I wonder if urbackup would be able to do what you want. If it's exclusively for backup.

I remember having that annoying problem when printing from Fedora to a Brother MFP device.

This is real Windows 10, not Fedora that just looks like Windows 10 😉

You can test the autodiscovery with the Microsoft Connectivity test, you can also check if the SCP lookup is the culprit

Also what's in /etc/resolve.conf?

@jaredbusch said in Connect Ubiquiti APs to a New Controller:

Controlled migrations have lots of tools and options.

But a downed controller has pretty much no option except to default the APs and readopt.

You will not even be able to SSH into the APs if you cannot log into the controller and get the device admin password for the site.

@JaredBusch is right. If you lost the controller it is a reset process. I recently went through something similar, however, it was the fact that our ISP at a location I manage decided to change out there cable modem and in doing so changed them from a static IP to a dynamic IP. Which is fine and easier for me but they didn't tell the client that they might have to reconfigure their equipment and didn't even bother to make sure they had internet. Switch cable modem and left. Client calls me and I get there and well the Ubiquiti Secure Gateway wasn't working because it was set to use a static IP on the WAN side. I was mad. So I had to reset the Ubiquiti Secure Gateway. Now here is the kicker, it would show up in my controller once I set the inform address but for some reason at least on the smaller USG's is that you had to ssh into them and set the inform address. Click on adopt in the controller and then while it says adopting in the controller run the inform command in ssh again. If you didn't do that it would be adopted but say disconnected. It was a long night until I found those instructions. Grrrr.

I hate the USG. Such a piece of crap.

I know, I wasn't the one that put it in, it is this one: https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/usg/
They have the newer USG that are bigger. Are those any better?
https://www.ubnt.com/unifi-routing/unifi-security-gateway-pro-4/
https://unifi-xg.ubnt.com/usg-xg-8

It is better hardware under the hood, but it is still UniFi.

UniFi is shit on a router.

@dashrender said in Anyone using Unchecky?:

Nope, don't need it, I use Chocolatey to install most of that junk.

As JB said, take away admin rights and most of these problems go away.

Don't support home users and the issues ALL go away.

Touche!

@scottalanmiller And to make it worse I get a lot of ideas of projects to work from here to keep learning. I have a long list haha and less time by the day

@jaredbusch Oh no way lol, thats great!

@gjacobse

You should just need to run this bit, nothing should have to be changed. DFL should be at least 2008

Must've been that one server. Seems like it's running fine on another one.
