    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.

    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.

    @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.

    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.

    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.

    This is plain Xen + their own home-made "secret" toolstack (built year after year).

    They also implement features on their side, sometimes valuable stuff, sadly it seems there is a lack of sharing. And because Xen is GPL and not aGPL, they are not forced to give it back.

    Sometimes, you see Xen people developing a feature which is already working in Amazon. That's a bit sad when you have to do things twice, but you know, big corps...

    Can you manage drive based encryption from a network?

    Something like Bitlocker you can manage from AD, but you're back to the management issue mentioned earlier.

    What management issue?

    I know some places around us use this:
    http://wave.com/products/wave-self-encrypting-drive-management

    That's what I use for my users' SEDs, but I manage it all at the machine level. (I think you need 20 machines or something for it to start making sense financially.)

    Though it looks like from the home page that company is in turmoil. Not sure if what is happening is good or bad.

    What Hypervisor?

    Hyper-V, server is 2012.

    VMQ is often the culprit for slow network stuff... Especially if you have Intel or Broadcom NICs in the server...

    on the Hyper-V server... from the powershell command prompt, try:

    get-netadaptervmq|disable-netadaptervmq

    That will disable VMQ on all of the network adapters in the server. It generally doesn't cause a noticeable disconnection on the servers, but you know how that goes... be careful, lol.

    I disabled that on the VM itself.. I can't do that on the host if there is going to possibly cause a disconnect on the VMs. There's like 25 production VMs that are up.

    But disabling that on the VM itself did nothing if that's where I was supposed to run it.

    No, this has to be run from the host... It usually doesn't cause a disconnect that users will notice. But you raise another point though... The server was fast before adding MDT.

    Exactly...

    This is imagination only.I am having one friend from my childhood.Once I grew up i lost the phone number of him and email id of him.Now i am searching with his name but i am unable to make him as friend as he has blocked the friend request from new friends.I am unable to contact him with the messages,as he is not responding for my message.I tried to get the mail id of the person.But the mail id is showing as x***[email protected] anyone help me to find the mail id or the phone of my friend to communicate further

    You aren't in contact with any of the same people? That seems strange to me.
