Wow, I did make a post...

Also search works well as long as you know a phrase and wrap it in quotes.

https://mangolassi.it/search?term="pbx.domain.com:1443"&in=titlesposts

I happen to know I always use "pbx.domain.com" as an example and that HTTPS access is on port 1443 so I searched for "pbx.domain.com:1443" and that gave up the goods.

Beat me to finding the link 🙂

@black3dynamite Ah yes, SLAT. Almost forgot about that. I ran into that trying to install HV 2016 on a REALLY old box for testing. I could install it, but that's where the story ended.

If I get the E5620 or higher in the Xeon family, I think I should be fine. I know for sure that the E5620 works. I have them in my R710.

The same thing happened to me. So it made my decision to use KVM even easier for what I was using the server for.

@smitherick said in Text to Speech for IVR recordings:

I've used Amazon Polly https://aws.amazon.com/polly/ before. It's the easiest lifelike voices that can be directly downloaded without a hassle.

I actually came across that as well. Looks pretty interesting. Not sure i understand the billing for that though. If you use it they charge per character during that month or $4/ 1 million characters. But if you don't use it do you still pay the $4/month?

The voices it generates are pretty good though. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for sharing the script, dafyre. Will give it a try, too.

Well I figured out the issue preventing the install of Chocolatey.

It was because these specific machines are on an off-internet network, and were also NOT connecting through a proxy server.

After applying a .reg file to set the computer to use the proxy server, Chocolatey installed, and therefore salt-minion installed, too, (after whitelisting .saltstack.com on the proxy servers). I entered a pssession on the machine and seen that Chocolatey installs salt-minion from the saltstack.com repo. All is well now, so long as off-internet computers are using a proxy server.

Script log file:

However, I still would like to know how to have the Chocolatey installer append it's install status to a log file from my script.

And, of course, we are just assuming that there aren't other factors involved that are unknowns that make the VRTX make sense where we might otherwise not thing about it. It's good for massive capacity in a small, quiet space, for example. We only know the most high level details here.

@aaronstuder said in Port - PFSense WAN goes offline every Hour:

@black3dynamite I am on the latest. It's running on KVM so maybe that's the issue.

For device model, are you using virtio, e1000, or rtl8139?

@smitherick Thanks for your suggestion

I just tried with Reid method and it is working well. The red notification has been removed

So this makes sense, and it might just be a "me issue". But every workload I have ever seen (IME) has been on different Microsoft Server versions.

IE you need CALs for that version of Windows Server. . . and thus you would need tons of CALs.

Grr time to investigate.

Worth noting... You need the amount of CALs to equal users, for a certain platform. 2012 RDS? Needs CALs. Exchange 2013? Needs CALs. Upgraded from 2012 RDS to 2016 RDS and Exchange 2013 to 2016? All new CALs.

That was awesome to find out. The only saving grace for us was 501c3 status. Pennies on the dollar.

Or use open source free products for... free. Zero on the dollar 😉

Support is never free, even if someone is donating their time, there is a cost.

Right, which is why open source is SO cheap, because it costs LESS to support normally than proprietary software. So it's cheaper than free when compared to alternatives. It's like you get paid to use it!

@zachary715 said in How to receive e-mail alerts from internal devices:

Do you guys go beyond the SPF records and also implement DKIM or DMARC? I've looked into these briefly but not much. DKIM looks fairly straightforward with Office 365.

I've checked them both. I will not implement DKIM anytime soon. It adds little on top of SPF.

DMARC is a layer on top of SPF and/or DKIM you cannot use DMARC without one of the other in place.

All DMARC does is tell the recipient system what to do with a message that fails the SPF/DKIM check. Instead of letting the recipient system decide what to do about it.

@ambarishrh said in Office 365 Reports:

Not sure if you've checked the compliance center in O365. There are lot of audit tools available like Manage Engine o365 audit. I just found this as well (haven't tested but looks interesting)
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/office/Office-365-Auditing-Tool-01747cd4

Hey, yes I have checked the Compliance Center. I've setup some alerts from here but it's hit and miss really. Then you have the Azure portal which gives you other reports. They're scattered everywhere. I'll check out the link you referenced. Thanks

@dustinb3403 said in Migrate database from Hyper-V to VMware:

Instead, standing up a new installation with a fresh MS SQL waiting for a database and attaching the backup to the database means you don't have to worry about any wonkiness that might occur due to the conversion from Hyper-V to VMWare.

This has issues of its own to deal with. Because there are a lot of ancillary bits to most MS SQL (or any SQL really) deployments that are not part of a database backup.

Yeah while true, anyone who is setting up this database system should be able to account for these issues as they are a part of the "installation process".

Actually, no. Because these types of things are usually, setup once 5 years ago with vendor support, type scenarios.

Rather than some random bug or crash due to a registry entry that decided to go haywire in the middle of a production day.

It is a V2V, nothing is happening in production.

I like to lean on the "you have support for your production systems, right?!" argument. . . .

And it would be production if it was powered on and running for a while with entries being written etc that are no longer on the hyper-v installation.

I've seen weirdness (Hyper-v 2008 specifically) that VM's migrated had a lot of remanent hyper-v drivers and registry entries that have caused issues.

Are you saying you've not seen these?

Hyper-V 2008 was a horrible platform. Everyone knows it.

LOL I read this line in my favorite Donald Trump voice.

That makes it so much better.

I ended up starting over from bare metal. Second attempt was A LOT better. Thank you everyone for all of your help.

I have Ubuntu 18.04 and Deepin and it works great although Deeping uses a different UI.

What desktop environment are you using on ubuntu?

Gnome

I’ve got 18.04 with KDE.

Have you tried ubuntu Budgie 18.04?

No. I only have the one 18.04 instance.

Ubuntu Budgie 18.04 looks pretty nice.

It was working. Only after reboot did it screw up.

@black3dynamite he probably has not rebooted since the first install which he did prior to me fixing the log file error.

Yup. You are correct.

On a related note, dealt with a client today that had pfSense running in front of their PBX. that was annnoying. There is no "SIP ALG" button, but you have to setup a static outbound NAT rule to fix it.

Some of the dependencies when installing it with pip are required to be compiled that is why for beginners it is just better to use either Anaconda or miniconda, especially for a Windows install.

@emad-r If you want diskless, look at setting up a PXE server to boot them from the network.

If you just want minimal drives locally, then go with the small SSD. I've not found a USB stick that has the same sort of write endurance yet, and have had many fail on me when being used for the OS, temp files, and logging.

Gluster would just be a normal network mount point to the compute nodes, and DRBL is another way to network boot.

Converged or hyper-converged really doesn't matter, you want the most cost effective hardware to do the job.

Without knowing more about what you're trying to accomplish, we can't give anything but generic advice, and even that could be completely wrong.

@emad-r said in Linux NiC Bond Question:

Hi,

after you create linux nic bonding, do you disable the original nic adapters, so only the bond network adapter gets IP and has priority.

Cause the only way I saw activity of my nm-bond interface was when I disabled the ens33 and ens34 from getting an IP, so only the bond has it.

Or you keep all interfaces as is with the machine having 3 IPs, how then it will determine to use the bond IP and not others?

I used rr or round robin

I use only use the virtual NICs as well on Debian as well.
