Forked us over here as this is totally unrelated to the topic that it was in and a new question was asked in the thread.

My bad.

@alex.olynyk said in script the creation of a database on CentOS7:

Thanks Scott! Works Perfectly!

No problem. Done that one many a time.

@coliver said in Is Edx.org worth paying for certs:

I always find it weird when systems admin "stuff" is mixed in with computer science.

Or as we from CS programs say... that's a scam. It's "filler" hoping that CS students don't realize that a cheaper to deliver class displaced what they had paid for.

@original_anvil said in Tool for documentation:

@Dashrender well... it would be handy. I know that your option will work as well, but I'm sure you will agree that it is better to use one tool for one task instead of two or more.

Oh absolutely! Anything you can do to make the end user's job easier it definitely a good thing. I just wouldn't have that item on my requirement list, instead it would be on the, should/really want to have list.

Gotcha! Well, not having that functionality is not a stopper, but highly desirable feature 🙂

No WMI filters are in place. Too bad we dont get 1 free support incident each year from MS just for using their stuff.

@RoopanKumar said in GPO on Desktop:

@Dashrender we need to create a rule so that the user should not save their work on desktop that is the aim but the condition is there is no network path or any other space just they have to save in their other partition

got it

I hear what you are saying. I've never done it, so I'm not sure it can be done. You could setup a mandatory profile that users can't change, but I think that still allows them to save to the desktop as if it was a temporary directory, and upon reboot, the files are gone.

Not a great solution in your situation I'm sure.

Hey there!
Friend of mine gave a good feedback about this one

Hope it gonna help!

Thanks guys.
I have started by adding some more exceptions to the on-access scans and will see how it behaves!

@FATeknollogee said in ColocationAmerica:

@scottalanmiller How much rack space is being consumed, 1/2 cab, full cab?

Well, we HAVE a full cab. Over half is used on initial equipment delivery. We have plans for at least one large NAS to be added soon and possible one large Sparc server that we are interested in adding. There will be some empty space, but not a lot.

@nadnerB gaahhhhhhhh I was staring at it waiting for it to load

@dafyre said in Looking for the name of a thing:

You probably need to be sure of the voltage coming into whatever it is you need that for... Don't want to hook it up to a PDU putting out 208V if you only have a 110V device.

Bahaha yeah really. Ours is 208v. 240v is more common than 220v though.

Hoeveer most devices are ranging from 100-250v on Switch mode power supplies.

I'm in Active Directory Administration Center...

People actually use that?

I like it for quick day to day stuff. Resetting passwords and checking memberships. Anything more than that and I use ADUC. If Microsoft completely dropped ADAC, I wouldn't be super sad... It's extremely stripped down anyway. About 90% of the reason I use it is I like that you can more easily locate things with the "Locate..." option. I haven't found that in ADUC, but I also haven't really bothered to look deeper...

I just use Locate for being able to quickly jump to the OU that the object is located in.

@BBigford said in How to Market RAID 6 When Customers Need Safety:

I once asked a vendor who were pitching an appliance that supported RAID0+1 and RAID1+0, "what would you recommend between the two, to a potential customer?" They said it didn't matter as they are both the same thing.

We didn't go with that vendor.

RAID10 vs RAID0+1

Or, you know...

TL:DR pictures are prettier 😛

This is currently postponed. A lot of systems being built tonight. Don't know if we will get back to this one right away of not.

In case you eventually decide you need HA. I would recommend trying out StarWind Virtual SAN Free it will eliminate the need in physical SAN devices and instead use internal server storage to share it via NFS or SMB 3.0.

@Ambarishrh said in LAMP replication to DR site:

How about setup MySQL replication to remote site and then enable MySQLdump local backup on the DR site as well with increased frequency than daily ( may be twice a day). This way we have an up to date/latest copy and in case let's say there was a drop table command on master, and primary site failed, I can still switch to secondary, use the latest mysql backup to restore and make it up and running.

Yup, that's what I would do. Get HA and DR all in one setup. Have it take backups 24 times a day if you want. The impact is pretty much zero.

I don't know enough about WDS, can you not use a Win7/Win8.1 deployment WIM?

What does Dell say about these drivers and PXE?

@JaredBusch yeah, but the warning about the internet connection still has the old wording, that one - the discussion isn't finished, it seems.

Not sure what the fedora/RH thing shows or what is/isn't wrong. We did drop support for Fedora but the owncloud-files.noarch package should work almost everywhere and on any version of RH/Fedora/CentOS/etc
