But if it didn't workout, i guest you will be stuck with Ubiquity and get higher models?

If what does not work out? If that model does not have what you are looking for?

Exactly. You do not buy something that will not work.

If you cannot determine from spec sheets, then you buy a single unit and test.

That's one of the great things about Ubiquiti, it's cheap to field test. Cheaper than looking into more expensive units more thoroughly.

And honestly for a 30 unit deployment, I would contact vendors for demo units if it was that important to your business.

@BRRABill said in DC Interelations:

I don't want to confuse anyone in that other thread...

But if, say, the port the host was plugged into went bad, the host and VMs would still be able to talk to each other right?

He would not be able to connect to any VM on that host.
The fact that the vSphere console sees it hints that this isnot a problem. but it certainly is still possible if they had dedicated management networks. That is uncommon in this size though.

User of CentOS and Ubuntu servers myself. Mint is still top go-to for desktop, though there are interesting alternatives like ElementaryOS.

Linux is not always easy to learn, I just forget everything if it's not regularly used, especially CLI with their bazillion switches that no mere mortal can ever memorize. And moving between different distros where commands don't work exactly the same, Aptitude and Yum, etc.

Cool, but always challenging.

Upload to your own Nextcloud instance and share out from there. 8-)

The consensus is that there is a version conflict between the Server and the Client.

Select your PC and click the MORE option and Re-Install.

You can also upgrade them all at one time by hitting the Check Box at the top of the list...

I have this problem with a fully updated client device.
One specific system does it 95% of the time.

Curious... Have you uninstalled it and re-installed the newest version? I would expect you have but thought I would ask anyway.

Yes. It also works immediately after a reboot.

A reboot while on the old client did not solve the problem. I didn't uninstall/reinstall since I am remote to the user.

Reintstall from the GUI as @gjacobse stated.

Yeah I didn't know about that at the time, which is really why I made this post. 🙂

Fiber to the box in my neighborhood with copper running from there - how would that be different than fiber terminated on the edge of your house that you still can't touch?

Because there is no fiber TO YOU at all. Your last mile is coax. All services are fiber backed and named by the last mile - what goes TO YOU.

You have coax, plain and simple. FiOS is fiber, plain and simple.

@scottalanmiller I work at a government education board, the laptop was one we had in reserve.

Government is buying Chinese products with software to violate their basic security on them instead of American ones without? That makes me very sad 😞

I'm not in the US, and I've read about the NSA Cisco backdoors 😉

Unless you are in China, it's still the same problem... but definitely don't buy American either. Same problem, different solution, buy Taiwanese. Only machines you can trust. In the US, anything passing through customs may be modified to spy on us, so it doesn't matter the source. The problem with Lenovo is that it isn't China spying on us, but a single company. I "trust" China with my data (because it's worthless to them), but I don't trust Lenovo because, well, they are bad people.

No problem. Nothing like GPO on the Mac, but for mapped drives it is really not needed. You can also use tools like Chef or Ansible to do this. That adds a GPO like functionality to the Mac, in a way.

It's a poor article when most of the "maestros" list their own tools they sell along with a token few that everyone already has heard of.

Maybe pick 10 people, list their credentials and background and have better content from 10 rather than 85 which are mostly poor.

Almost every time I'm helping someone with an exchange issue on Spiceworks, they chime in with their spam. No information about how it does it different or what it does that the free Microsoft tools don't do, just spam. A couple of times I have ask them for more information about how their product will help the OP and they never reply.

Have never touched that.

Sorry for so many questions. I have never used the open source version.

No problem. I'm not responding as fast anymore because some imaging jobs finished.

I've been using AlienVault's OSSIM, basically the open source version. It's been good so far, but I just deployed the agents to each server/workstation and haven't setup any custom rules, so it just uses the rules for currently known threats.

Do you find the agents useful? I am still testing the agents in a test environment.

OSSIM would be useless without them for me, honestly. without custom rules, or some way to get data besides the login, OSSIM is kinda crippled.

You use them for file integrity and registry change reporting, correct?

Yes. Mine has an internet connection, so it also gets the latest threat updates from the public pool.

You do the updates through SSH, right?

Yep. You just might get introduced to my basic update script on the 16th.

Single point of failure is my favorite feature in a public DNS server. wait....

@scottalanmiller Add virualhosts to the list too 😉

So I found out that a couple of the other failures I had were due to misspellings in their check scripts. Without going back through everything, I'm assuming that's what's happening here.

Things like this line

user-administration-disabled=true

failing because the check was looking for

user-administratrion-enabled=true

Both a misspelling and the wrong key value.

For those who were still having problems getting Mattermost running on CentOS 7, I was also having the same problems and couldn't get beyond the postgres install. I found another guide and with a few tweaks, I was able to get this running.

https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-mattermost-with-postgresql-and-nginx-on-centos7/

The change that was required from this guide was in the "Download and Extract Mattermost"

Instead of...
[root@mattermost ~]# wget -q "https://github.com/mattermost/platform/releases/download/v2.0.0/mattermost.tar.gz" -O mattermost.tar.gz

Use this...
wget https://releases.mattermost.com/3.3.0/mattermost-team-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

Then in the next block, instead of...
tar -xvzf mattermost.tar.gz

Use this...
tar -xvzf mattermost-team-3.3.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz

After that, follow the guide to the letter and it will get you to this...

You know that thread we had once where someone was complaining about how a simple question here always digresses into a mutli-page discussion and then an argument?

At least this one was completely focused on the OP's needs (or explaining what he had said.)

Uh....

I like how you heard white with red bits and then built a classy seutp to suit. Very nicely done.

Thanks, I tried my best, I went for looks over spec

Spec is modest
I5 6600k
32gb ram
512gb ssd
Gtx1060
32" screen

Modest? That's closer to a barn burner than a modest system I think. The only component you may be lacking in is the i5 rather than an i7, and that's mostly cosmetic.

Not really its an entry level current generation CPU, GPU with a bit of ram for video editing
