@Carnival-Boy said in ESXi Evaluation Period:

I have recently downgraded from ESXi Essentials to ESXi Free simply by entering a different key. It's the same product.

I'd say you moved between products. It's one product family, they are super similar, but are they the same product? Just semantics, but they are very different.

XO Community and XOA are not the same product. But it's the same code.

Downloading the xo xva now

Unless you plan to pay for support, stick with the free version.

It's a nice city. @Bob-Beatty lives there.

I wonder if timemachine grabbed the page already?

No Apple products here. Do you mean the Way Back Machine? That only grabs like once a quarter. So pretty unlikely.

oh - ok yeah that!

I completely agree - a total Popcorn movie - but really - turn my brain off and just have fun.

I had more issue with Will Smith stealing a choper in the last movie to find his girlfriend than I did with the kids sudden appearance picking up Papa Levinson.

Yeah that death scene was definitely super cheese! I agree with your assessment complete and was left confused.

Also, what about the fact that the spheriod dude has all this advanced technology, but doesn't have shields? Really? Come on! Oh OH oh I know.. the sensors on the ship knew they weren't the bad aliens (we still don't have a name for them) so they didn't raise - oh never mind - it's just a movie 😛

Not to mention that they have this knowledge-transfer session with the alien orb, who knows all about how to defeat the Harvesters, and they use none of the new information to defeat them. Instead it's a "let's try to beat it at it's own game" plan, with no guarantee of success. Oh, and why not just drill into Saturn (they passed right by) to get energy from a planet's core? It's big, and it's uninhabited. No fight.

Yep - sips some tea.

Thank you all for your help

Did you get it all working?

@AlyRagab said in Elastix HA Cluster:

@scottalanmiller Using Rsync will make us stop the mysql daemon that will cause a downtime, and in case the master server went down how we make the clients connect to the second server?.

Clients can be connected to two at once. Or you use DNS to switch. Either way works just fine.

Rsync does need MySQL to stop IF you are copying that data all of the time. But do you need to? We don't. We only need VoiceMail to be synced (and only sometimes) and you only need MySQL synced on changes, not on normal usage. So only occasional MySQL stops that can be combined with updates and reboots under normal circumstances.

@Ambarishrh just found DigitalOcean's NetBox, now open source: https://mangolassi.it/topic/9646/netbox-ipam-dcim/

Huzzah! Thanks for the link. I'm sure it'll come in handy 🙂

Have not. How do you want it to behave? I don't use Google Drive so not sure what it can do.

The project seems to have the ability to CLI sync but not auto sync. but in process.

Cron every minute? Not realtime, but nearly as good

@Mike-Davis said in Azure AD Connect and populating a new AD Forest:

With powershell you can rename a UPN suffix. Pretty easy with powershell:

Thanks @Mike-Davis, this is one of the pieces to the puzzle that I was missing.

Xen XAPI api is not running on this .... F8 to try and start it.

So I cloned on a system that isn't critical, and when I try to boot off of the clone that is what I get.

Any ideas?

@Dashrender said in NTG Lab Update:

Any reason not to tell us what the missing part is/was?

SECRECY!

No, it was an SFP Module.

The main component of the lab is the 6-node Scale cluster, and the LAN-side connection for those goes to a switch that has a single connection up the chain, which requires an adapter (RJ-45/SFP), which is very small and easy to misplace in a big move.

Don't I know it. I missplaced one recently too.

@Dashrender said in Any ML London'ers wanna get a drink?:

Having never used an ATM in Europe, beyond the ATM fees - are their typically currency conversion fees?

My currency fee from my bank is 1% for any conversion ATM or otherwise (so I pay 1% if I pay for a restaurant with the debit card, for example.) But the ATM fees are zero compared to normally seeing roughly 3% in the US. So in absolute terms, I consistently see 1% in fees in Europe and in relative terms I see a 2% negative fee.

Ran into a snag today. When applying this update to a USG with a dynamic external IP, it works fine. But the moment you assign it a static IP it goes into a boot loop and removes the default gateway.

To get it back to a working state I had to hard reset the USG, re acquire and re setup.

I'll be posting to the USG boards shortly.

I've been getting a crazy amount of recruiters emailing me about Six Sigma. Was starting to get curious what all the fuss was about.

That's similar to asking for ten years experience on Windows 2016. Instant dust bin if they say things like that.

You mean you don't have 10 years of experience on server 2016 yet?!

Well I do, yeah. But you know, normal people.

I created a shared mailbox and then I manually added the contacts (there are only 14 of them) to it. This makes the contacts visible to any user with access to the shared mailbox. However, I also wanted to used these "shared" contacts in some distribution groups, which doesn't appear to be possible. 😞

On a related note, one of the best tools for cable labeling I've ever used. It has a mode to specifically print labels for cables that you wrap around and it is really slick. Runs on batteries too.
