@jt1001001 said in Met with fiber isp guy, he gave us a proposal:

Many times, as mentioned these are VoIP lines that are just connected to an ATA and will not support modems or faxes.

The first part is basically always. Fiber can't deliver POTS, so to get something that looks like POTS across it, VoIP is the only reasonable way. It HAS to be digital one way or another, so only VoIP is sensible.

@AlyRagab and from the storage side :

# targetcli sessions alias: node1.server.local sid: 4 type: Normal session-state: LOGGED_IN alias: node2.server.local sid: 5 type: Normal session-state: LOGGED_IN alias: node3.server.local sid: 2 type: Normal session-state: LOGGED_IN

Some good stuff in this thread, thanks!

Better yet. . .

"If they can afford 1 SAN, they can certainly afford 2, and make things truly solid". . .

that would be commission + just good IT.

Of course horrible finance control, but whatever.... with just a single SAN its still horrible finance control.

Would it not be a good time to start pitching better setups such as Starwinds Appliances?

Funny... I actually did bring that up, and was told since nobody has heard of them, then they probably weren't very good. I thought they were joking, but they weren't.

Who told that? Competitor? 🙂

Likely someone who had heard of them quite a lot, lol.

5.8.1 was release earlier today. My test build is failing, but haven't had time to dig in and find out why.

c) totally move to the cloud

If you are small enough, JumpCloud is completely free.

We are not that small, unfortunately.

Well then the answer should be obvious... you need to downsize.

Are you available to come in like George Clooney in "Up In The Air" and make the cuts?

🙂

Yup

@Harry-Lui said in Questions regarding to removing orphaned dc, adding dc, getting DHCP working:

So, I backed up the DHCP on DC1, save it on the virtual drive, then add that virtual drive on DC2, authorized DC2 to be the DHCP server and then restored the DCHP. DCHP is working again! 🙂

Will work on DC0 and DC1 tomorrow.

Huh - that worked, eh? Do you have a single IP space over these two locations? or you mean DHCP is working at site 2 now?

@Mike-Davis said in IIS / RDS 2012 R2 User's Can't Log On:

What does the IIS log say?

IIS Shows no errors. I see the POST where the login attempt is made, and then it 302 Redirects to Default.aspx and then it 302 redirects back to the login page.

Why samba instead of sssd?

@Harry-Lui said in Need advise, restoring domain controller and email server.:

All our VM guest servers are backed thru Barracuda, which takes snap shot then backup the server. Great for an application server. It does NOT work for DC because once you restore the DC, the GUID changes, and AD on that DC will be broken.

All VM backup solutions work by making snapshots to freeze the disk state that is going to be backed up.

Why your restore changed some GUID is an unrelated issue.

I have backed up and restored a DC, many, many times over the years and never had this kind of problem.

Hell, I have done a backup and restore of a SBS server with zero issues other than the inbound email from the point in time of the snapshot being lost.

@Dashrender said in Windows 10 1703 and network printers:

While I'm happy to assimilate this new information, I know I specifically read in one of my MSCE books (a long while ago) that it was recommended to have fewer GPOs instead of more granular ones.

Any chance that it was a third party book and not the MS ones? Sometimes those things inject author's opinions instead of vendor ones. That said, sometimes third party authors know more than the vendors so that isn't a totally definitive statement of anything. But things like MS Press tend to have heavily peer review than other publications and tend to have insider knowledge to double check some things of this nature.

Pretty sure it was MS Press that I was reading for 2008 stuff.

ERL and Unifi AC Lites

Amazon and Azure both offer many different storage methods. Can you tell us more about how the data is stored and where you will put it? Is this between VM, or is this storage like S3?

With many things on ML, it comes out to semantics and asking the right original question.

But often people don't know what original question they really want to ask!

@JaredBusch dumb question: did you check all services are up and running?

systemctl status | grep hv │ │ └─10000 grep --color=auto hv ├─hv-kvp-daemon.service │ └─563 /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.8.0-49-generic/hv_kvp_daemon -n ├─hv-vss-daemon.service │ └─577 /usr/lib/linux-tools/4.8.0-49-generic/hv_vss_daemon -n

on my ubuntu machines the fcopy is always down. don't know why... but I do not need it.
May be somthing is not running and hyperv badly detects the event

@JaredBusch That is right, most sites work well with Edge. Usually only applications that require IE are the only ones that have problems with Edge and also affect other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome.

@anthonyh said in SpamAssassin Question:

quick reply-of-shame, then an update of this thread.

Nice! Is like reading your code in a nice screen 🙂 just for what you need

@JaredBusch Could be. All I know is it's working now.

Great guide! Super helpful.
