@DustinB3403 said in what windows server should I choose for Active directory?:

@msff-amman-Itofficer Now don't get me wrong, I understand not wanting to have to purchase new CALs because those can be expensive, but then I guess the question is; Why are you using Windows at all if you can't afford to keep current on a regularl refresh window?

I can hear my voice echoing in many of these threads, even when I am not around 🙂

It is a free wifi at an indoor soccer field facility.

@scottalanmiller said in PV or HVM for new VMs in XS?:

HVM is the current recommendation. This is going to change again soon when some new PV driver advances from the HVM side get back ported to the pure PV side. So eventually we expect PV to take the lead again as it is a more solid design. The biggest thing is that the HVM side uses hardware assist but PV is pure software. PV is getting hardware assist added to it and when it does it is expected to be basically container level speeds.

Agree, PV/containerization is going to be the next BIG thing: http://thenewstack.io/hypervisors-container-era/ .

@aaronstuder said in Forget Ubuntu, now OpenSuse Linux comes to Windows 10:

Why would I want to do this? I see no point?

There is none in the way that they did it. The way that they promote it, it would be awesome. But they approach that they took makes it a joke.

Samsung is definitely not the company that it used to be. I don't see it turning around for a long time yet.

@scottalanmiller said in WSO2EMM Failed to install:

How much memory do you have for the system? WSO2EMM requires 2GB of RAM for the product itself that's most of the memory of a normal 32bit system for Windows. It is probably that no one is testing this product on 32bit Windows at all.

I'd move to running this on Linux, of course, but it you want to stay where you are...

We need some info:

What JDK are you running? What are your hardware specs? What OS and version are you running?

We might be able to adjust the heap to fix this, but we need all of the details.

oh, i c

Do you have that info?

What OS? What SQL Server version? What is the error in the logs?

Netwrix has a lot of AD tools, some free, some paid. I haven't used them myself, but I've heard good things about them.

Huh - MS finally made a single ISO solution - FINALLY!!!

@JaredBusch Thank you

add some tags to the post to make it easier to find in the future.

I thought I did. Must have fallen off. I should use better sticky tape

Former EqualLogic customer quite happy with Nimble the past couple of years...

It functions as storage for vSphere 5.5 and Essentials clusters plus virtualized storage for a few physical servers.

I had a similar problem with a Lenovo laptop (again purchased before SuperFish). The user finally agreed to have me send it for service, no issues reported since then. It clearly had a hardware problem as I rebuild the OS at least twice before sending in for service.

@gjacobse we used to use DirSync but we phased out AD entirely. That was way better.

@FATeknollogee said in XenServer: MD RAID or not?:

Maybe use @francesco provino blog post as a starting point
http://www.francescoprovino.com/2016/09/06/xenserver-7-software-raid-with-mail-alert/

I think that needs a little fleshed out for the newbies.

But yes, that might be a good starting point.

@Dashrender said in offsite backup. NAS to NAS Remote Replication on QNAP NASes or other method ?:

The amount of storage you need in your backup appliance is totally based upon the backup methods and change rate of your data.

Assume you're doing incremental backups and that your daily changes are 10 GB, your original data is 6TGB, and your NAS is 12 TB, you'll be able to fit approximately 600 days of changes on there.

BUt there might be dedupe components, as well.
No idea about Dedupe components, I don't think I do have in my environment.

I found this free online Visio like editor

https://www.draw.io/

I don't know if it will do what you want, but worth looking at.

I've used it for a few things recently.

@openit said in Understanding 3-2-1 backup rule and son/father/grandfather model backups.:

@scottalanmiller Yeah, I understand, things like RAID, Snapshots within the HDD etc. are not real backups. They are just for redundancy (RAID), performance (RAID), limited restore (snapshots).

That's all that Starwind is, in that case, is RAID. It's just network RAID.
