You dont use server racks or virtualization?

They use whitebox desktops as servers, no virtualization. Nothing enterprise is allowed. We've been discussing this in other threads and offline as well. It's nothing to do with price, in fact it is costing a ton. It's one person's personal agenda and nothing to do with needs, resources or anything. But yeah, none of that stuff allowed.

RUN - RUN away from that company as fast as a new job will allow - or even faster if you can afford to be without that job for a while!

What he said..

PS is really coming along

This thread has gone bananas.

bananas and peanut butter sandwiches

I was trying to figure out a way to incorporate that into the thread...

@JaredBusch - Doesn't look clear?

Yeah, IET is not new.

Very nice!

@JaredBusch Any possibility of you creating a guide? That would help me greatly.

yum install certbot

Replace certbot in any scripts you've written using the previous tools.

When I Attempted this I followed these directions: https://certbot.eff.org/#centosrhel7-apache

Could not get it to work.

It's VERY touchy about having your http.conf file(s) all entered correctly. That was my issue the first time I tried to use it on a server at least.

I think you and I went over this together and I literally copy and pasted what you gave me, editing as needed for URL's etc. It still didn't work for me. Idk

See what I mean about it being very touchy? I don't even know enough about the httpd .conf files to but muddle through apparently.

I looked up a bunch of different guides. Went through it over and over and over again. Never got it working unfortunately. I never figured out what I was doing wrong unfortunately.

Yeah, the error messages you get from Let's Encrypt are about worthless. Apache was happy with the conf files, why is certbot throwing errors?

I'm really not sure. That is why I wanted to see what @JaredBusch runs into. If it's just me not knowing some key element of it or if it's the actual product.

This got way more popular than I had been expecting it to be!

Now we just need to find use-cases for this 😉

Back in the late 90s, a group of ~50 engineers and FEA people would have loved to have that available. We could do 3D remotely, but sound without an audio card, not so much.

@dafyre said in Domain Logon Issues:

Do the PCs show the same time as the Domain Controllers? If they're more than 5 or 10 minutes off, the DC won't allow anyone to log in.

Yes they did. I fixed the time sync issue I had.

@scottalanmiller Yeah,the Switch started working

Yep, implemented the same, for a majority of our clients... it's quick n easy to deploy, and manage .. This, along with Thin-clients, has been a winning combo for us .. . works like a charm every time ..

Going a bit off-topic - Earlier, this year , we were contacted by a vendor, pushing these really really dirt cheap China-made thin-clients (They go by the name Thnder-X) ... So, for $18 a pop (only if you buy a minimum of 50 Units), it offers : -

Arm Cortex 1.8ghz CPU
1GB RAM
512MB on-board Flash
100/1000 Network Port
3 USB ports (2xUSB 2.0, 1x USB 3)
1 HDMI Port + 1 VGA Port support upto 1920x1080 / 32 bit colour depth / Dual Display
Audio Port.
7.5W Power consumption
Windows CE

We were rather skeptical at first, so the vendor gave us a unit to demo ... We're using it on a daily basis for around a month.. Worked well for most basic office tasks (Documents, Spreadsheets, Emails, Browsing, Accounting etc) ... Videos didn't do too well, but still, not as bad as we were expecting ..

The only catch is that it comes with a 6 month replacement warranty...

We bought around 10 units, and gifted 4 to a client ... at $18/unit, I don't mind gifting these to 20 MangoLassi users ... you pay for your own shipping ... hehehe

Anyway, the client has been using these in a production environment (on the above setup), for over 6 months, and they've been pretty happy with it, so far ..

Might be suggesting a 3rd party review of the solution so look out for an E-mail NTG 😄

Not that I have seen.

So windows updates did make a change, causing that service to not start.

It's always windows fault....

Windows is not doing well in the news today!

@momurda said in Secondary Domain Controller Setup:

dont forget to check afterwards if everything is ok with
dcdiag /v
repadmin /showrepl
repadmin /replsum

Everything looks good so far.

Good information for me as I'm in the process of learning XenServer (although its 7)

@Mike-Davis said in Print directly to printer - no add-ins:

I'd lean towards application trapping the print screen key the way green shot does. I think you're right.

Yes - our 'best guess' is that there is some third party software needed. And since this is a state agency - they have limitations as to what can be used or installed.
