@scottalanmiller Which I agree to, which is what we have done.

It just goes to show that your server rack is a good indication of how your company is going...

@black3dynamite said in Server Time Zone configuration:

What does BIOS time use local time or UTC?

Whatever you set it to?

BIOS: local time or UTC
OS: UTC

Or is only an issue if you are dual booting?

In general I don't care about the BIOS/UEFI time because I sync my devices from a time server. that just means I need to set my devices to the correct timezone, then the time will come over as desired.

I updated all the sites that could be rebooted mid work day already.

The rest will happen this evening.

@dbeato said in MS Patches Fail To Install - Keep Coming Up In Updates List:

I have not seen this yet or any reports but reminds me of the one a month or so ago that still continues to install on others.

This is nothing new. Windows systems have been doing this for years.

That is one reason the Update fixit exists.

This might be useful for some people:

@black3dynamite said in PowerShell Failing to Run on Fedora 28:

Is that only a Fedora issue?

No, definitely not isolated to Fedora. It's any distro, or any that are set up, in a way that PS doesn't like in terms of the xterm environmental. So most, I would assume, are affected, but all have a fix. It's a PS bug, and decently easy to work around.

@obsolesce it ran this afternoon. I noted that.

I'm not sure but thats a great idea. I need to look into it as well.

@jmoore said in Phone system:

@scottalanmiller Yeah I know she is just a sales person but she should know more than that.

Sadly bad management doesn't get just how bad this sales person is at their job (after you show them that the sales person was clueless on how it all fit together).

Can I haz money now?

@scotth
Traffic is allowed on x and y. I know that, lets see what support say. Its the other direction i'm wondering. Thanks though.

clock set date <mm/dd/yyyy>
clock set time <hh:mm:ss>

What's keeping the company from at least migrating the domain controllers? That's actually one of the easier services to migrate.

I've sometimes seen 2003 with legacy applications that management does not want to change for whatever reason. Just not with DCs.

@marcinozga said in Microsoft SAM (Software Asset Management):

I got the email about it couple of months back. I told them to shove it, and warned that I would bill them for wasted time if they continued to bother me.

It's voluntary, tell them to get lost.

Voluntary and useless.

@kelly said in GDPR Resources:

However, I am done trying to explain things to you @scottalanmiller. Nothing personal. I like you as a person, and I respect your perspectives on many things, but how you're handling this conversation is wearing.

Sorry, honestly trying to learn here. I guess there is a lot of information about GDPR that everyone knows that I just don't understand. But where is everyone learning so much about it?

But if a company is US based (no physical or registered presence in the EU), can they even do anything about it?

This was addressed in the thread: https://mangolassi.it/topic/16992/gdpr-resources/75.

Didn't see that.

But, wow... I'm in complete agreement with SAM's reply to that. Wtf.

Depends on the type of VPN and if you are tunneling all traffic or not. Do you have more info?

I'm playing around with this n that trying to gain some knowledge, it's just a lab environment.

What I was thinking of doing was running up an Azure Windows VM, setting up a VPN connection to that from my 2016 VPS and seeing if I can add the Azure VM as a second DC to the domain I have on my VPS.

I've read this can be done, but I don't know if once the VPN connection is in place whether I will be able to RDP back into my 2016 VPS?

you might able to do so if the VPN doesn't take the route of your other network. Worst case scenario you just disconnect the user from the VPN and you are right back in it.

Thanks for advice. I guess as this is a knowledge building exercise, best way to find out is to just do it and see.

Definitely.

I Just say De Bian plainly ...
