I don't trust the four year old with the camera, especially during a tantrum.

"Look...here's a picture of the side of the cliff as the camera was thrown over it."

Sorry I was exhausted and grumpy yesterday, it's not a default I just wanted to blow off some steam.

Anyways, our C2R installer isn't configured for this option, but the question remains, why is this even an "option".

Just print the document as it's setup. (is what I would expect) Don't have a special function to "Print drawings created in Word" as most people, myself included, wouldn't think it's not a part of the document.

What version of Exchange is this?

By resolve he means, can you ping servername.FQDN and get a response from the Edge server?

I don't have a separate Edge server, so I'm not sure where the connection username/password is set. Assuming the Edge server is not part of your domain, this would be a one time username/password that you would have setup for this purpose.

CAS Server used exchange 14.01.0355
EDGE Server used exchange 14.01.0218

i am able to ping ip or hostname without RTO.

edgeserver is standalone server ( not joined domain server)

that why, i want to know which username used for connecting hub transport and edge .

I'm not very strong with PowerShell yet. I imagine that's what I have to do in this instance though unless someone knows a better way. I would have to write the script, then just drop it in scheduled tasks. I have never saw anything in the GUI even remotely mentioning automated restores.

Then where are you getting in trouble? If purchasing is making all the buying - and IT is just deploying what purchasing is supplying, you should never have a license mismatch, and KMS would be fine.

I've run Veeam both (in the past for over a year) on a VM on one of my hosts and now on a physical server. The latter is recent and I'm doing B2D2T and my LTO hangs off the physical server. Just was a free box. Whether physical or virtual, definitely keep the backup config in a different location. With that, it really doesn't take long to get it back somewhere else. My target is still a NAS using CIFS, but that will change probably when I redo my storage and hosts. You get a decent performance boost by using it as a iSCSI target vs CIFS. Mine works fine with the latter, so YMMV.

@alex.olynyk They are all in the database. Assuming you used MariaDB/MySQL then jsut back it up like any other database

I'm on 4.13, which might be where the issue lies.

In the Vm it actually "removes" the device, (not sure about in the device manager) but it's still accessible to the VM to be enabled later.

So that works for me.

Most storage devices in this range also lack the support options that enterprise servers do.

This sentence is the third italicized block of text seems odd.

Fixed, thanks.

I don't think either are relevant or realistic in the real world. Yes, you can define the cost of providing certain HA solutions, but by definition HA doesn't prevent downtime, it only mitigates against it (hence the word "High" rather than, say, "Total"), so you'd still be asking "What kind of budget do we have to reduce our risk of downtime" and not "to prevent downtime".

And it is specific to "layers". For example, most people in the SMB talk about HA only in terms of the platform layer and ignore the apps, OSes, storage, power, cooling, access, network, etc. It's a myopic view. They mitigate almost no risk yet feel that they have moved from "so risky I'd never do it" to "so safe I never have to think about it" and yet, almost nothing has changed.

The entire drive for HA is often an emotional response. We have been taught to fear a server failing, so we over compensate and try to fix that one, moderately small risk without addressing anything else.

Sorry, SSD cache.

I seriously thought there was something else SSH must stand for.

Some other pluses for this are easy setup for HBAC, Sudo and sudo command priveleges (host based and user based), SELinux user maps, and easier password policy management.

Fonts should never come as an .exe - if they do run away.

They come as native font files, you then install them based on the OS, either Mac or Windows does this easily

thanks, fixed.

Very nice.

Let's not get too technical.. My real question is the ability to expand/shrink on the fly/VM stay online. I know for a fact that Gen1 cannot do that.. thus the question about conversion.

But do you have teh space for two copies during the operation? That's a key piece of why it is important.

Good question... we are 60% of the disk at the moment... so that would be no. The space inside VM it self is 50% full.. Say 2TB disk space on hypervisor. the VM is uing 1.2TB. But the OS/Files is using only 600GB out of 1.2TB.
If the cloning means 100% identical then I will not have enough space. But if there is a way to shrink while cloning then it is a viable option.

This also means you're using thick provisioning.

Perhaps you can copy the current VM disk to another VM disk, but one that is thin provisioned. Then it will only take up 600 GB on the disk, leaving you with 2 GB free space until you delete the old VM disk.

We've been expansionist for a long time. The war of 1812 was the result in part of US Expansion.

Are you sure? The Second War of Independence was a defensive war. We had the population being taken for slaves, that wasn't going to stand (strangely.)

I always thought that was small part of it. The bigger parts, from my reading, was the US expansion westward, which resulted in fighting from British supported Native American tribes, and the trade embargoes setup by the British Empire on US interests in Europe.

Hard to say 201 years later, but that always seems to have been a very minor factor.
