The real solution is just don't do bitlocker... Use file level encryption or something similar. I just don't see much utility for bitlocker outside of personal devices.

Why aren't you running DSET on the server regardless of OpenManage? DSET will reveal any issues and they should replace it.

Make sure to ask for a manager.

The AISuite 3 with Asus causes this. Just make sure to uninstall or start WIndows without any of the additional startup programs or services enabled.

Nowhere near bedtime here. Just finished dinner.

May not be absolutely current to the month but here is an idea on Yealink pricing....

T42S $85
T46S $130
T48S $175

T52S $106
T54S $143
T56A $212
T58A $220
T58V $270

YEA-EXP50 $76

My Favorite Ultra-VNC setup:

Not all issues can fixed from command line alas, thus this recipe:

uvnc: file.recurse: - source: salt://uvnc - name: 'c:\salt\uvnc' - makedirs: True cmd.run: - name: 'c:\salt\uvnc\state.cmd' module.run: - name: firewall.disable

remeber to re-enable the firewall of the client when finished. (salt "client" firewall.enable)
you will need to create uvnc folder (get it from UltraVNC portable builds) folder in your Salt master, in /srv/salt

in it :

winvnc.exe

UltraVNC.ini

state.cmd

SecureVNCPlugin32.dsm (Optional Encryption plugin)

Server_ClientAuth.pubkey (Optional Encryption server SSL handshake check)

And in the state.cmd put the following:

taskkill /f /im winvnc.exe sc stop uvnc_service sc delete uvnc_service "c:\salt\uvnc\winvnc.exe" -install "c:\salt\uvnc\winvnc.exe" -startservice sc config uvnc_service start= demand ipconfig | findstr /i "ipv4"

And whenever you want to connect to client, run this in salt master:
salt '172' state.apply uvnc

And you will see the IP of the client, you will need to match the IP and if you made any custom setting like port number/encryption plugin with vnc viewer and connect to client.

uninstalling plex and reinstalling plex fixed the issue. sad i didnt fix it manually though

@BRRABill said in Never Install Hyper-V as a Role:

@scottalanmiller

If you went into a one physical server shop with Hyper-V installed as a role and existing VMs in place, would you consider this a big enough problem to redo the entire installation?

Immediately? No. But it would be immediately added to the project list to get planned as soon as convenient.

@EddieJennings said in There Is No Such Thing as a Read Only User:

Seems like the confusion between the literal and intended meaning of "read only" can be avoided by establishing what rights various "levels" of employees should have for X data.

Clearly, you need to define security levels based on primary colors.

I just did a side-by-side install comparison. Here are the results. The details are in the screenshots: (no Cockpit in minimal install, twice as many packages in basic)

@jmoore said in Getting IT Wrong, Every Day:

I asked today if I could do something proper with our documentation since we have stuff scattered around everywhere. I wanted to do a wiki since I do that at home. I found out that it can be switched on in our new ticketing system but just has not yet. The person in charge of the ticketing system is very knowledgeable but just has too much to do. At the same time he holds on to everything he can as do others there. Until I found that out I thought it was a good idea...

Go with the Wiki - Don't put all your information into one system. If it's down, your documentation on how to get it back won't be available...

Good stuff, I've long been a Sparc fan.

@scottalanmiller said in The Register, NetApp and IDC Lose About All Credibility with This:

I posted about their lack of credibility on The Register directly, but it has no appeared yet. I no longer accept quoting The Register as a valid reference to anything. Unless they post a retraction, I can't take them seriously in any context again. This isn't a simple mistake, this is a travesty of reporting and unprofessionalism. I'm not sure which would be worse, if the author was actually this technically inept and reported on tech anyway, or if he was paid off to specifically try to mislead his readers. And how did any editor let this get onto the website?

Just now reaching that conclusion? I wondered when you'd see the light with them.

I've not found them pulling this kind of stuff in the past. Certainly not to this degree!

@Dashrender said in Splitting one display into two virtual displays:

I'm still curious how this helps you?

Dense much? It gives you discrete real estate for your windows.

It is much easier to maximize a window on a fixed display than to actually manage window sizing for everything.

Windows built split screen windowing in in Windows 8, so I'm still not really sure what you're on about.

But if you have a 40" single screen, yeah I do like the behavior of a dual screens instead of just a single one.

But you - @JaredBusch aren't the one asking - so let the OP answer.

Just much easier to drag and expand various windows. I also like the fact that DF let's you change, remove, or add additional displays on the fly.

@s.hackleman said in Rack mount server without a rack:

I have no idea where they came from, but we bought a company that had these 4 foot tall enclosed racks on wheels in all of their field offices. they locked front and rear, and were big enough for a mouse, keyboard and monitor to sit on top. with a KVM inside the door. If you have the space, I loved these things. They were durable, enough to live in retail store back rooms, and easy to work on. Similar to this.

I have models similar to this actually at the main office of this client. But again, not needed or wanted.

In Hyper-V 2016, I noticed that if you want to use Gen2 and Secure Boot, at least when booting to the .ISO installer, you need to change the Secure Boot template to "Microsoft UEFI Certificate Authority", because it defaults to "Microsoft Windows".

@msff-amman-Itofficer said in Saltstack commands redirects to systemprofile:

I want to backup the user account with the most data ? the thing is we have different user account names on each computer, and that is the why I am having issues, if only I can find way to run as logged in user

Odd, but, okay. So with or without salt to do this your approach would not work. You need to do some detection as to what folders hold the most data, then back that up. That variable won't give you that information even with logged in users.

Yeah - I think your idea of backing up %systemroot%\users is probably the way to go

Yes, grabbing EVERYTHING seems like it would be the most logical.
