The wife is playing today. Which of course involves just sitting at the kitchen table as her parents' house is full of Pokemon.

I meant to get more information than my initial post here, but my distraction appears to not have mattered.

Yeah, but this was explaining why cd does not work as expected.

@KOOLER "do guy" = "do gui" LOL

@momurda said in Add Whitelist Entries in Office 365:

If you run this command again with different addresses/domains, doesnt it overwrite the previous items in the list, unwhitelisting your previous whitelist addresses?

Correct, this is setting the list. You'd have to append the new ones to the command.

@dafyre said in Zabbix - Improvements for this Graph:

You could also build individual graphs... and then create a Screen for that host... Under Monitoring -> Screens

This screenshot here, do you have individual screens per host, or at the template level?

Sadly...

Do you know/have the Windows 7 key? On devices that old, they were not always embedded yet.

If so, just install Windows 10 R1511 and enter the key. It should activate.

Oh really? That's way better. Thanks. Will try that right away. Yes, I have the real key on a sticker, thankfully.

YOu can also grab the GenuineTicket.xml from inside Windows 7 and activate the upgrade rights that way

Open the Windows 10 ISO inside Windows 7. Navigate to sources folder. Copy gatherosstate.exe to your desktop run it as admin copy the resulting GenuineTicket.xml to a USB drive or something. Install Windows 10 clean. After getting logged in the first time, copy the xml file to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\ClipSVC\GenuineTicket Reboot. Windows 10 will be activated with the digital entitlement.

This will be helpful when 2016 comes out and I need to migrate all the data off my data server.

Last time I used the Server Migration Wizard.

This information is very out of date concerning Pertino itself. But the theory on how this works remains relevant.

IMO, you should put the 'old post' notice at the top of these.

Came across this today.

PCMag Top Help Desk for 2016

Turns out the ones they are saying are free, aren't free.

Just realized that this topic actually was missing the tags! Ugh, no wonder if rarely comes up in searches. Fixed, finally.

@echo off setlocal :REQUEST set /p REQUEST="Logoff, Shutdown, Reboot or Abort? L/S/R/A " if /i %request%==l goto logoff if /i %request%==s goto timer if /i %request%==r goto timer if /i %request%==a goto abort goto REQUEST :logoff shutdown -f -l goto exit :abort shutdown -a goto exit :timer set /p TIMER="Wait how many seconds? " if /i %request%==s shutdown -f -s -t %timer% if /i %request%==r shutdown -f -r -t %timer% :exit

Pretty much the idea is partially to address rapid rebuilds to disparate hardware like @BRRABill was looking for (but it is BYODrivers so you have to have that prepped) and partially leveraging the simple market pressure that has caused traditional workstations to be about the same cost as thin clients and when you remove the local drive on a traditional PC you can acquire and maintain them much more cost effectively (or whitebox your own easily) than a thin client while getting all of that extra CPU and memory that you can leverage.

Totally coincidence that I posted this same topic for PowerShell yesterday and today I started moving over my Windows Admin blog content and the first post over there was the same topic, but without PowerShell!
