How is ZFS replication burgeoning. It's ancient tech at this point.

It is barely 10 years old. that is not ancient by any measure. Nor is it widely deployed (my own opinion). Yes, new deployments may be ZFS, but there is a much larger base that is already installed and not using ZFS

Ten years old is what I had pointed out specifically. A full decade is pretty ancient by filesystem standards. The install base of ZFS, I'm guessing, hit its zenith some time ago. It's a Solaris-native technology and no new systems are moving towards it but some are moving away. Mac OSX had it for a while and removed it. Linux has it now, but that's about as mature as it will be as BtrFS is actively replacing it.

With Solaris on the decline and BtrFS on the rise, it's hard to think of ZFS as a burgeoning technology now that its heyday is probably a bit behind us and it is anything but new so it doesn't qualify in that respect either.

Okay, that's weird and goes explicitly against MS' stated naming convention. They stated that the term SP used meant that it included the early SPs.

Is it any weirder than the NT 4.0 setup you wrote about above?

The changes were so drastic in SP1 that it barely resembled the RTM.

Yes, because the terms were not explicitly to mean that until after NT.

Whitelisting would definitely do it.

@scottalanmiller so it's basically red hat?

More or less, but very lean and without SystemD (yet).

@Dashrender
For our environment it cost roughly 45K to migrate all data out of our third party Exchange server. This include 5 years worth of compliance achived data.

Why so expensive? Do you need to migrate the archive data? Can you leave it where it is until it expires?

Edit: I've always done my Ubuntu upgrades using dist-upgrade.

Ubuntu doesn't upgrade like that either, or didn't in the past. You still have to change the sources for dist-upgrade to move up to the next one. People on Ubuntu 14.04.3 still use dist-upgrade to upgrade their daily or weekly patches and it doesn't move them to current releases. It takes other changes, like the sed lines here, to make Ubuntu do that.

If that is the case, what is the difference between apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade?

Edit: I just checked and the command I've been using is do-release-upgrade... not apt-get dist-upgrade...

Yes, Ubuntu has an extra command that includes the sed stuff specifically for Ubuntu. In Mint, the base is remaining the same Ubuntu now so that command can't be used. They'd have to make their own, which they need to.

dist-upgrade includes things like the kernel that upgrade does not. There is a really old thread about it around here somewhere where I had the same questions and @thanksajdotcom was explaining to me why I needed to switch me standard patching to dist-upgrade because important patches would be missed otherwise.

Yes, RDS is built from XenApp. They are one and the same, XenApp just has more features.

As far as i know it will stay active until you retire it.

Doh!

If the auditors are involved in looking at OSes, they must care about them. It sounds like this are IT consultants if they are auditing IT. If they are not IT auditors, why are the getting involved in under the hood IT decision making? What kind of auditing are they doing?

Well this saga isn't over yet.

My old Windows 2008 R2 KMS server is still up and running, has KMS installed, but is NOT published in DNS - I've confirmed this.

But when I went to a computer and ran

cscript slmgr.vbs /ato

to force a re-registration, it still registered with the old server.

Now I've disabled the port (1688) on the old server. Now to see how the client PCs handle that.

Unitrends actually uses KVM for its stuff 🙂

Apparently they are working on it.

But they probably won't allow signups on iOS as they have to give a cut to Apple.

Same reason that I doubt Amazon Echo would have direct access to Google Music.

I got my answer. It turns out OSPF applies a default metric to readvertised EIGRP routes, but EIGRP does not apply a default metric to readvertised OSPF routes. So I modified my EIGRP config like so:

router eigrp 100
redistribute static
redistribute ospf 3 metric 1000000 0 255 1 1500
no auto-summary
no eigrp log-neighbor-changes
network 10.0.0.0
network 172.19.0.0

BOOM, works!

Have you used Cinnamon? It is seriously slick. I have never used any desktop on any environment that is a nice.

Crontab jobs might make a backup copy as you're scheduling cron jobs or making adjustments. IE: crontab.XXXXGvrDIU

Which for some reason take a ton of space...

Making certain you clean up any manually downloaded patches (if the built in patcher fails for some reason) and removing log files if they become unwieldy.

Rolling out several more Linux machines here today and hopefully will be building out some demo environments of what a 100% Linux environment would look like.

How goes your project?
