Mh, would be a 15 minute job. Anyway, can't you split the file into multiple chunks?

Does anyone have any good experiences running QuickBooks on any platform?
No

Sadly, I do. Business office uses it, and that's a battle I'm not fighting. Intuit looks even worse from the inside.

Basically, don't let anything touch the quickbooks files outside of quickbooks. When the program closes it will ask if they want to make a backup every 2-3 days. Just have them put the backup somewhere accessible, and put VNC or something on the computer that they normally run it from.

So I started my zabbix vm today, and it's broken. Where's Scotty when I need him? Engineering, more power!

I think his jeep ran him over....

Wrong character.

He worked in the engineering / engine department!

@IRJ said in Upgrading to Windows 10 remotely:

I need to upgrade a Windows 7 PC to Windows 10 today. I would prefer to do everything remotely rather than going on site. Is there a way to automate everything? I have only done one previous Win10 upgrade.

I upgraded an entire office of 11 computers remotely. You can certainly do it.

My process:

Make sure mahcines are up to date with Windows Updates Setup ScreenConnect access session Disable permission request for the access session groups Download the current upgrade version from the Media Creation tool to an ISO file Save ISO on a network share Backup users with Veeam Endpoint Backup to a NAS just in case Open ISO over the network share (or copy local both work, your choice) Run setup.exe follow the prompts, tell it not to check for updates, keep all files It will eventually go offline in ScreenConnect but once it finishes and comes back to the point where you can choose express settings, ScreenConnect will come online. Complete upgrade Profit

I shouldn't have any issues using VNC (It is on our network) then.

If the NC service properly loads, then yes, you should not have any problems.

I first tested this while I had physical access just in case...

Worst case scenario I can walk next door.

this is what we are using for our sales and customer service group. They each have 3 monitors and it works great. Just remember you need to purchase Active Display Port Adapters in order to get all 3 to work.

That's a good price and I'll give it a shot...thanks! 🙂

@Dashrender said in Was looking at flights for Mangocon, then this happened...:

So, did they create a loopback on the unmanaged switch? I had a client do that once, brought down the whole network for about an hour until I found it.

Definitely considered myself lucky finding it inside an hour.

I would think that's the case as well.

Tried that, works like a charm. Even big videos (like 1.6 GB) are working flawlessy, so some streaming or downloading in chunks in the background I guess. Anyway, works well enough for the showcase.

Thank you.

@scottalanmiller: How to mark a topic as solved?

Awesome, glad that that fixed things.

@MattSpeller We appreciate you considering us and giving us an opportunity for your business! If we can't match on servers, don't leave us out of parts deals. I know we own some things so well that even Dell would have to take a loss to be competitive. 🙂

my pleasure, thank you for supporting this forum which I value

@scottalanmiller I'm honestly not sure how they did it at the hospital. That was years ago. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

Americans often don't know their employment rights and lots of companies use extortion to threaten workers with black listing, lawsuits or whatever to violate their rights. It's extremely common in the US to have employment rights violated and employees led to believe that they have no recourse.

That is my fault for not researching it if that did indeed happen. I'm honestly not sure.

Even if in that case they do not, I know directly many places that violate the law in exactly that way. It's common, even if it didn't really happen there.

I tried Rundeck. It was more confusing than just using Ansible without a GUI. IMO, just having the playbook with yaml and jinja files is easier to read and use. GUIs always have at least one thing you need in a place you wouldn't think.

I guess I wouldn't mind having some reports in a GUI but I'll stick with just text files.

Thanks. I get the impression that it's almost like a SalesForce for the solar industry, but I could be wrong. Just wanting to see how it handles data...I don't care about the sales part LOL

That slowed education for IT for NY for a long time as students in the SUNY system were not getting UNIX exposure.

Ok, let's see if this works....

I'm tempted to say a generic fixed rail set would work. It looks awfully similar to a SuperMicro server. No warranties or anything on this statement of course.

Great, thanks for sharing!

Depending on the model of phone, the DND button is a softkey and you can just change the button to something else.

NJ here too. Crazy how real to life Mad Max Fury Road was

Do you automate configuration management and deployment using Puppet? Chef? Ansible?

This particular item (DevOps vs. Snowflakes) applies to VMs and containers equally.
