@DustinB3403 lol, no it wasn't.

@LAH3385 said in Basic CMD command needs explanation:

@echo off
copy \server\netlogon\hosts "%systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts /y
rem type \server\netlogon\hosts >> %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

We use the same domain as our website. When we access out website without www infront it redirect to IIS instead of filling in www.domain.com. Now... we found the above command batch that will solve our issue.

The instruction is to create a file (no extension) and named it hosts. Inside input our website IP address and redirective keyword. Somehow it works! our domain.com become www.domain.com. However I don't understand how it works since hosts file was not altered.

Also what does rem type do? I tried rem type /? in cmd but nothing happens. REM supposed to be a remark command for batch file... but why? How? What? o_O feel so noobish asking this question. LOL *cry in corner *

It looks like you are copying an already created host file. As @Danp said the second line is just for remarks.

congrats!. I just had my first on 6/1 and went back to work after 7 business days off. It has been a very long 2 weeks thus far but quite rewarding. There is nothing like coming home from a crappy day at work and see them smile or just holding them. It just makes everything better.

Yes, I had one of those moments just a few days ago. Got home from a long day, and my two year old ran to me with her arms upraised. Made everything better.

That's the greatest feeling. And the worst when they cry when you leave.

In the config files, I set it here:

auto_provision.server.url =
auto_provision.server.username =
auto_provision.server.password =

@tonyshowoff said in Fax Issues:

Did you do any other cursory tests of the lines, like calling and having the person answer, maybe whistle or something for a while see if there's any service interruptions or anything. Long shot but it's an easy test.

I did. I'm going to move the fax today to see if its the line or the fax machine.

@JaredBusch said in WSUS as a standalone server or inclusive with DC?:

@Dashrender said in WSUS as a standalone server or inclusive with DC?:

WSUS's biggest issue is that it requires huge amount of disk space.

Of the mentioned service, Printing is the one that should be separated from a DC if at all possible.

I have so rarely had issue with DNS/DHCP/File/WSUS, while when possible splitting is good, but I woudn't be bothered having any of those on a DC.

WSUS does not have to require disk space. You can have all the control of WSUS and still tell the machines to get the updates fro MS. That is how I run it. With the new Windows 10 settings, I also have the clients allowed to get updates form other computer on the local network.

Now with a 100/20 pipe I wouldn't mind if the machines all get from either each other or direct from MS, but back on the 10/10 days, WSUS removed that load from the internet.

@scottalanmiller I'm going to investigate the blocking stuff this afternoon and make sure it's all in place.

It's easy to say it's not really our responsibility but I enjoy working here and I want this company to succeed. Right now the phishing is a direct threat and I'm not one to back down. There may end up being nothing I can do beyond education but I want to be god damned sure that's the case.

@Dashrender said in Migrating Windows 2003 to 2012 (VM):

Of course now JB is going to come in here and blast me for saying shit about Hyper-V, but I don't care, that fact that you have to jump around to multiple tools to get the job done compared to a single application for the other two (never tried KVM) just makes it a non starter for me.

The only thing that makes it usable for me at all if familiarity of Windows, so while I dislike the multiple MMCs, I do fully understand it and can support it, where I'm still learning a LOT for XS.

You do not manage XS with a single GUI from withing XS either. You use an add on product. You can get add on products for Hyper-V also.

I only bash you for saying false things.

Here is the per Core Utilization (I have to thank @dafyre for figuring this one out) 8 cores total, only taking pictures of a few of them.

What this Discovery rule does it it checks the system for the number of cores it has, and then provides the individual core utilization percentage.

Applied to all Windows systems as it's a part of the Windows Template.

Pretty cool right?

@fuznutz04 what type of OpenVPN? Site to site? I have wrote up that process before back when I was learning EdgeOS originally. I can update it and make it clean.

No, I was looking to set it up as a server so I can remote in via the OpenVPN client. Basically, secure access to my home network when I need it. Right now, my experience with Open VPN is limited to the package available for PFSense. I'd like to do the same on my ERX.

I have that setup also. both as a certificate based and as a password based. at different sites. I really need to make new documentation anyway.

You would be hailed as "the man" if you produce that content and share it. 🙂

It is already on the ubnt forum. buried somewhere in posts I made 2 years ago there.

Just needs updated and reposted.

Hey Jared,

Any update on this new guide? I'm getting ready to replace a PFSense router with an ERX and the only thing holding me back is a working OpenVPN solution for the ERX.

I've been working on IPSEC VPN issues that are client affecting and have not had time to revisit the OpenVPN process.

@coliver said in Office 365 via GoDaddy?:

@Danp Wow! I know with partners it is pretty easy to migrate from one to another, or to add one if you haven't had one before.

That's because you are only changing paperwork, not changing whose system the account is under.

@Coloradogeek did you ever get this fixed?

@MattSpeller Who doesn't love pinkeye?

@Brains Glad you got squared away

Did you end up putting in a support ticket? Pretty unfortunate you haven't received a reply yet as to whether you should or not. Hopefully it's fixed soon.

LOL at some point in the future our cars will auto assess points against our license - thinking like Corbin Dallas in 5th Element.

At some point in the future we won't be the ones driving.

And I envision AI fighting back against us. "You are having an accident."

out if I, Robot, lol.

I really like the Epson Powerlite 570 line of projectors. They are a little bit more expensive than a comparable unit, but that is because they come with the mounting kit, and it is an excellent, well engineered mount. We were able to forego pull down screens because we had whiteboards in all the classrooms and because of the angle these could project on whiteboards without glare.

None here, sorry.
