@stacksofplates
Hi, I need to configure every day the server need to be powered on automatically some time and the same need to be powered off in the evening. Power off i was done through scheduled task in windows. But powering on is the challenge. I tried with lambda option but having some error

Are you trying to save some money on the amount of hours the server is powered on a month?

Here I thought that was the whole point of using things like EC2.

Best that you found out now. It's a common misconception that it is about "powered on" versus "existing." The point of cloud computing is creating / destroying to save money, not powering on and off. The later we could do before cloud.

Yes, I'm very aware of this, which is why I brought up the automated create/destroy so much earlier in this thread!

Looks like a neat idea. Treat the OS as a database, standard query language across platforms.

@scottalanmiller said in Virtual Firewall:

Why two firewalls?

DMZ --> Perimeter Network --> LAN?

That's how it used to be. The DMZ meant the area between the firewalls.

Pretty limited options for hardware monitoring of hardware RAID. Almost always done via software, somewhere.

@dafyre said in Suggestions for new APs and Firewall:

This is for a school, not an SMB. With out some form of traffic shaping somewhere, their bandwidth would be overrun with torrents.

@Markferron can correct me if I'm wrong, but right now, I think the Meraki APs are where the bandwidth shaping is being done now.

Yup I have rules on the APs and the MX400. They should all be the same as far as bandwidth limits, just in case.

@tim_g said in Looking for a very basic solution for building/maintaining company intranet:

We should have a salt states file tag, strictly for salt states files. I'll populate it as I make them. I see you have a few on here that could be added.

I like that idea.

So forget my comments. It turned out maybe your instructions are fine. (Maybe, maybe not. I don't know, but will reinstall using your instructions again just to verify.) My problem was that I was opening up the firewall ports in the wrong zone. The default Install I used made only 1 zone on the master called "FedoraServer." Opening ports on this zone solved the issue. See this post from this morning: https://mangolassi.it/topic/15620/salt-stack-communication-issues/2

Learn something new every day. I'm so used to CentOS, so I'm not used to the differences with Fedora.

Thanks!

That blog post is wrong, it says that DRBD must be active/passive. But it has offered active/active for some time.

/sigh...

That was it. The instructions don't say anything to remind a person to look at the dipswitches....

It is in the manual.

@brianlittlejohn said in Exchange Shell command not working:

You also need to have export/import permissions granted to your account. They are not granted to anyone by default.

This is what you need.

First assign your user the Mailbox Export Role
New-ManagementRoleAssignment -Role "Mailbox Import Export" -User "<user name or alias>"

Then make sure the Exchange Subsystem has access to that shared folder and then run your export:
MailboxExportRequest -Mailbox username -FilePath "\\server\PST FOlder\username.pst"

@tim_g said in SQL Server Backup Design:

I'm with Jared on this one...

Backing up through the application layer (SQL) as often as you can depending on change frequency. For example, every 15 minutes.

Hourly and daily through the SQL backup tools.

At least daily full VM backup at the hypervisor level.

I prefer backups that use a standard file format, so you don't have to rely on Veeam for example to restore it. Veeam has screwed up too many times for me to want to rely on it like that.

I have never had been fail

Except for statements like this.

For some reason Siri does not like Veeam yet. Even though correct it a lot

I think you mean Linux is getting ported to RISC-V? RISC-V is the hardware, Linux is the software.

Is apache the owner of snipeit directory, subdirectories, and files?

apache : apache owns at least storage, which is where those files are. (I am a part of this group)

This is something that @Bundy-Associates does.

We have a software package that does inventory, costing, general ledger, etc. It was designed and built for the manufacturing industry.

Unfortunately it is outdated IMO and needs modernized into a SaaS product.

It is fully functional, but it was designed on the old school Client-Server model with a local SQL Server database. Nothing wrong with that when it was designed. It was the norm then. It is updated and current with technology (runs on Server 2016, SQL 2017, with .NET 4.5 i need to update that to 4.7 one of these days).

It is just outdated in design philosophy.

It is a goal for our company, but we do not have the funds to redesign and we do not want to take on the debt to do so at this time.

Want to get a consortium together to get this stuff replaced with something good and modern? 😉

They have the entire customer list on their site... it probably wouldn't be hard to find people equally as fed up.

LOL, that's definitely one way to do it!

Have you gone to

If so is it showing a page like in the walkthrough?
Have you tried without enrollment challenge password requirement?

Yes to the first. I used the information there to run the mkrequest.

I haven't tried without a password.

Same error when no password is used in the mkrequest command.

@jaredbusch said in How can I find HAProxy log history with Fedora 26:

@stacksofplates well that was a bust. it only shows errors related to the service itself.

journalctl -u haproxy

I need to find connection errors.
Will hit the googles in an hour when I arrive on site.

Ah ok, I didn't realize it doesn't log that automatically ( I don't ever use HAProxy). This may help from https://serverfault.com/questions/647395/haproxy-not-logging-requests

Right, NIC Teaming is not a Hyper-V feature. There is almost no reason to do it that way.

Also, you don't want to use "Hyper-V" load balancing after Windows Server 2012. Starting with 2012 R2, Dynamic is the preferred algorithm. Only in super rare cases would you use any other algorithm.
