@Breffni-Potter has been a pain with centos on dl160. It is now with dl380 and hyperv

But you learned something along the way. 😄

The link is more recent, because he mention XS 7.

I got acancel AARP (done, should have check by 4/13 and no mailings by 6 weeks from 3/16)I got about 50% of the way into this, and had to move on to other projects. But I really need to get back to it.

@jhtech86 I am very happy with the performance of it, I plugged it in and it worked, so I never really tested it.

Depending on your building wiring, results will vary 😉

For $30 I would just buy it and test. Amazon has a very good and easy return process 🙂

/me knows all about that.

@jrc said in Smoothwall on XenServer 7.1:

@Reid-Cooper

I can tell you that the templates for Debian 6 and 7 are PV in Xen 7.1

The old templates should not update. But current ones.

I've used tor, it's functional, but removes a lot of what most people consider useful from most websites.

@WLS-ITGuy No issues. Wasn't required to fsck after a reboot.

I've never used Branch Office Direct Printing, frankly I'm not sure what the gain is over what I'm doing today?

@JaredBusch I appreciate it. Thank you!

Is this what you're talking about? Running VMWare workstation when your computer turns on (before you login)

https://www.howtogeek.com/228467/how-to-make-a-program-run-at-startup-on-any-computer/

Or do you want it to load certain VM's when you power on before you login?

AutoStart
You can use the new AutoStart feature to configure shared virtual machines to start with the host system. You can also configure AutoStart for shared virtual machines on remote hosts running Workstation and ESX 4.x and later. To access the AutoStart feature:

Right-click Shared VMs/Server Name/IP Address.
Select Manage AutoStart VMs.
To setup/configure delay between auto startup of multiple shared virtual machines:
Right-click Shared VMs/Server Name/IP Address.
Select Manage AutoStart VMs.
Select the virtual machines that you want to auto start.
Set the delay that you want for the virtual machine in the Delay between starting each virtual machine (in seconds) option available at the bottom of the window.
Click OK to save the settings.

Thanks! Somehow the workstation server won't run on port 443. I have to change it to 442.
Then I follow your instruction and it seems to be working.

Check for Skype. That one tends to grab 443 and 80 on its own.

@scottalanmiller Right, it makes perfect sense in the case of network changes.

This just popped up in the news.

@Carnival-Boy said in Windows 10 Search:

Also note that the search only displays a small list of results. It doesn't display everything. So, for example, if you had six apps with "Game" in the title, it might only display three of them. You can display more by filtering on Apps in your search settings.

That makes sense. In this case, one displayed one and the other nothing, however. Not a long list 🙂

Do you know how it differs from the RPS service that works with all the previous models?

@Dashrender said in Storage question:

Assuming he's talking about WebDAV opening a file in Office 2013 or newer, direct to a URL - then my question is.. is there authentication required?

There would have to be. Unless it was just wide open.

That's was I was trying to determine.

Since today is patch Tuesday, I'll wait and see what comes down.

@Reid-Cooper said in Oracle Database and schemas...please help!:

In the past I used to know a handful of active DBAs. Today I'm not sure that I know any. I have the impression that the field has been shrinking. Do many databases really require that much care and feeding any longer? We can just throw CPU, RAM and IOPS at them or pass a query problem on to the developers. DBAs backing up, tuning and monitoring databases seems like a dieing art.

I just saw a local company advertising for a Senior Sys Admin where they wanted Oracle DBA experience for. I kind of want to try to grab an interview, could be interesting conversations. Plus I know a guy that works there, who I'd enjoy working with. The more I talk about it the more I'm going to contact him tonight.
