Cursing at my POS mower that won't start. And at the local auto zone for not having the right spark plug in stock. I guess a controlled burn is the only way to get rid of the jungle around my house.

I got a green & black battery powered one (I forget what brand, lol). It works really well. I've got 2 batteries for it and can cut my front & back with some juice left over. No muss, no fuss. Me and my gas powered one do not get along at all.

is it just me or is server 2019 sooooo slow to reboot. i'm building some simple 2019 VMs and it seems to take forever to reboot and boot up post log in.

Well it is Windows so.... not very surprising.

That seems to be a reasonable hour for you, ha ha. I'm awake already, and patched 22 servers.

No, but my co-worker has to climb up onto the top of the co-lo cage to swap power cables.
The system has a side A and side B.
It can run from either of course. But the are at different locations for redundancy

@Kelly Congrats! I'm a firm believer in writing about work, not only for yourself, but also to showcase yourself. Good job.

Whats people thoughts on the Dell X Series of switches?

Just got the dreaded M$ call for our every other year audit. At least the new online form was only about 15 minutes of work because nothing has changed since our last one. It was claiming I have -32 licenses for Server 2019 which I don't even have installed?? oh well.

Upgrading a Bomgar Appliance.

Trying to replicate RDP issues some of our offshore folks are having with RDP, SecureLink, and Citrix streamed servers. . . joy.

Hmm.. I will be interested in this new process. I just got the email this morning for mine; however, they said fill out the attached deployment summary and didn't attach anything. :man_shrugging:

Sounds like they put as much care into audits as they do into patch testing.

@RojoLoco LOL! If these audits were conducted by Microsoft proper I would agree with you. They farm them out to their vendors, N3 in my case, who only care about making sure you buy something... Not sure how I will appease the knee biters this time, probably buy a few extra Windows server CALs or something.. everything desktop is Microsoft 365 E3 now.
