Something to consider with a VRTX is that that is eight to sixteen Intel Xeon CPUs in a loaded chassis. That is a massive amount of compute power (with very little storage throughput.) So you have the CPU power to handle easily ~400 typical VMs. But the storage capacity and throughput of no more than an R510. Even an R720xd or R730xd has more drive capacity than the VRTX. So the ratio of IOPS and capacity to CPU is wildly different than with normal servers.

Might be a good idea to break out these HD conversations into their own thread.

Go ahead and make a new one. I think most of what is here should stay as it relates to the discussion at hand. But a new one would be good.

Nice sometimes its the simple things.... Scott and I should've thought of the format on the Pendrive.... haha... those small things.

Ok

Probably not the issue, but it is a good place to start.

I haven't but I haven't had a reason to use Pertino for a bit.

Just gut instinct but the whole TC saga has given me bad vibes and I don't trust it 100% like I used to

That is what I am running into Matt.. I like and want to support OpenSource all I can. I need a product I can rely on... but I have reservations...

What is causing the reservations? TC/VC is not the best product ever, that's certain, but what actual concerns are there versus just fear mongering what SW spread a lot of? I'm not vouching for the product, just saying I've seen nothing of concern yet.

To add some on topic input. Last year I ported 50 lines from TDS Telecom ($25k/year for hosted PBX with metered use) and it took almost three months to port all of our numbers. In the end we ended up being unable to port some, namely ones that had been previously ported from Vonage to TDS. Now we run FreePBX in house with all Polycom IP450 (found a lot of them going for $35 each) and spend far less than that.

My point here is, even if you get approval to move forward, and for the political reasons outlined above I wouldn't poke the bear, it will likely be an uphill battle with TDS.

SSDs save a TON on power over Winchester drives. That's for sure.

I agree there. I'd have to look it up but willing to bet taking out the two 15k, adding the ssd will still be a net power savings

Found this on SW

There is some registry and command stuff that seems to work

Does Let's Encrypt give SAN certs? I was under the impression that it's for single one off type situations where people don't have the cash to purchase their own cert, most likely being used by someone self hosting (or single site/server hosting).

If it is free, there is no reason not to get 4 or 5 certs instead of a SAN for most things.

Stupid question time (cause I don't know) can you install multiple certs on the same server?

I don't know about apache, but with NGINX each virtual host can have it's own.

It seems as though you can install another DC, then replicate, then demote the EVAL one.

But I think I'll just go with not doing that. 🙂

Yes, it wouldn't be a functional AD if you could not do that. You risk schema issues, though.

Apple iCloud is a player too, I would imagine.

The expensive one.

@Jason They can't connect to the domain network, they're force onto the guest network. As we required any devices that want to join the domain network, they must already be in the domain.

Additionally, they need to authenticate via RADIUS.

The guest network is vlan'd off.

Have you tried 123456, or 000000 as the passwords?

but the admin account password was changed, it is not on the default anymore, i have to reset the DVR first

Isn't Wordpress also one of the most hacked webpage type?

As someone that has been using WordPress for years, and managing more and more sites everyday, I can promise you WordPress is very secure.

The Problem is plugins. People don't take care when installing them and don't keep them up to date.

Or, they set there username and password to admin. 😠

when you are running clonezilla, you can pick options (-p or -ick, etc) this are called switches or options.

i really don't remember, this happen a couple of weeks ago

thanks anyway for feedback guys ...

Yep, DHCP isn't there.
I didn't check the details section at the RSAT download site but it's there:
DHCP Tools. Dhcpmgmt.msc is not available in this release of RSAT, but equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available.

If you are not into powershelling it, then it's Reddit to the rescue:

Awesome. Nothing like the feeling of unboxing your new server.
