    Hi Kelsey,

    First of all, as previously mentioned in the thread, the IPOD scenario is absolutely atrocious no matter how you look at it. You pay more to get more hardware to manage to get lower resiliency. Here is a very short paper on why it's particularly important to have HA or FT in a virtual inrastructure:
    https://www.starwindsoftware.com/fault-tolerance-and-high-availability-page

    A way to play around IPOD is replicating local storage across the hypervisor hosts. Here is a doc describing how it's done:
    https://www.starwindsoftware.com/whitepapers/starwind-virtual-san-whitepaper.pdf

    Also, our forums are pretty helpful and you can ask different virtualization, storage, HA questions there:

    I don't see why that's causing issues. Is this a problem specifically with Cisco stuff... or something extra you need to pay for that everything else "just does"?

    It is not restricted to Cisco. It is also not a new thing. It has always been an issue. But in today's world, almost no one hosts public sites on internal networks, so many people have no idea what this is.

    Yeah, we used this in the 1990s, I'm pretty sure, but back then so much was hosted in house. Now it's a very rare problem to have.

    Yeah that's a decade or more before I really got in to IT... before my time.

    It must have always been a default (non-adjustable) feature of home routers when I've done my port forwarding. I never had to worry about that. In enterprise, I was just never in an environment that did it like that.

    .NET Core is a competitor to .NET and Mono. All three are implementations of the .NET runtime environment. All three come from Microsoft today.

    I've heard people talk about forking a thread when things get off track. How is that done, rather than just starting a new thread?

    For normal users like you and me, we click the arrow after reply to reply as topic.
    Then you can go up and click quote on the post you want to start from to get that info populated.

    0_1517158062437_369b79ec-76cf-4783-b8f9-0ec18afb54a4-image.png

    When you do that, how is the title of the new thread determined?

    I entered it. It is simply a new topic.

    I hadn't tried the Reply As Topic before as I didn't stop and think about what it really meant. That is very cool and easy to keep things on topic.

    Yes, very odd that more communities don't leverage tech like that. It makes for some seriously drifting conversations.

    Or extra work by posting a link to a new thread and saying "I started a new thread about this." Just quoting the thread is super easy.

    And if it isn't quick and easy, people tend to not do it.

    @bbigford said in How would you move an IIS workload from on site to a VPS:

    I'll have to look into that, as I'm not sure how I can just copy the application folder though since it's an install on Windows.

    Normally it is just a folder that contains the app. Presumably the app needs a datasouce as well, though. Where is that located?

    What kind of web app is this? ASP.NET? PHP? Java?

    @scottalanmiller I manage an environment with SAP B1, but I don't know the answer. It used to be a very bad, clunky and slow software, now is getting a little better.

    That's what we are seeing. It is barely software at all, it seems like a crappy version of phpMyAdmin here - a database access layer without an application on top of it 😞

    @tim_g said in switch DEs:

    So what exactly is so hard about installing a DE?

    At one time i had Gnome, KDE, xfce, and Mate installed and working at the same time. You just choose the one you want at login and it remembers.

    You would do something similar to this:

    dnf group install "MATE Desktop"

    dnf group install "Fedora Workstation"

    dnf group install "mate-desktop"

    I don't remember exactly what they are anymore because I've settled on Gnome a while ago.

    But it worked for me just fine.

    Nothing is hard but it’s never the same as if a team specifically built everything to work from the get go. I have i3 set up on my laptops along with GNOME. But there are always little quirks if you add them on later.

    @dbeato no, I don't think so. It's not happening after a "move to a different server". Files were not moved manually, they were done by the client. I reindexed (occ) in case it helped, but no difference.

    @jaredbusch said in EdgeRouter "Smart" QoS issue:

    @fuznutz04 said in EdgeRouter "Smart" QoS issue:

    The ER-Lite boxes have a "Smart" QoS wizard. The way I've always understood it, it works as follows:

    You fill in the line speeds of the service you are actually paying for.

    Example:0_1516985914606_QoS.png

    The above screenshot is from my home, so the speed in the boxes doesn't line up with the rest of the details here, it's just and example.

    So if you pay for 100/10, that's what you put in the boxes. I do this at the office, at home, and other clients. However, I ran into a situation where using the Smart QoS wizard, actually really limits the DL speed.

    I did a speed test with the QoS setting ON, and got the proper UL speed, but was limited to 50-60 DL speed. As soon as I removed QoS, I got the proper speed of 100 DL and 10 UL.

    Has anyone experience this before on the Edge Routers? Perhaps @JaredBusch ?

    This is normal and expected because traffic policies and the smart queue policies both force traffic to not be offloaded.

    The CPU in the ERL cannot process traffic faster than ~60mbps without the offload functionality.

    Well alright then. Simple explanation. I’ve never run into this, because we have such slow speeds around here. So this would be an example where I could upgrade to the next model. Perhaps the ER4? I haven’t read the spec sheets yet on them.

    Correct using a different model is what is required to obtain better speeds in this situation.

    The ERX will perform better because it has a better CPU than the ERL. But it has less memory which leads to other problems.

    The ER4 is light years ahead of the ERL by comparison due to the newer CPU.

    OK great. Looks like I'll need to start recommending these now. First, I want to get one for myself at my office. Did you manage to get your hands on one yet?

    This whole TLS clown fiesta was brought to my attention by one of our ISPs that is hosting one of our websites. I just ran the SSLLabs test against the domain that they host for us and the results came back showing that TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are not supported and it had fewer warnings. This is a great info. We are now working on disabling those cypher suites. I call this whole thing a win. 🙂

    Installing maybe... But it's need to run the software

    I saw that all the time with crappy proprietary video surveillance software. You had to have admin rights to run it. Ridiculous!

    Is there any surveillance software that isn't crappy? Ever one of them I have seen is just junk.

    As far as this thread, I'm in the same boat... Software written back in the early 90's that is STILL the leading software in the veterinary industry requires local admin to run it.

    Usually this is just a matter of needing admin access to a few folders and files. Not the entire system.

    That's what I said.

    This scenerio is the fault of:

    IT for giving the user local admin, the local user for allowing a remote person to create a local account the local user for not checking the password requirements for that account the remote support for using a shit password the remote support for allowing use to have access to RDP (assuming it wasn't needed)
