One of my customers called in..
"SO it was doing windows updates..."- Okay, sucks that it ran this early but windows updates are necessary.
"i shut it off and turned it back on. Now it wont do anything.."
- Wait, was it doing windows updates when you turned it off?
"yes.."
Usually the screen says, "Do not turn off."
At least it's billable.actually - probably not billable - under contract.
Phone/Remote support contract

If you have two servers, each with 2x 10 Core CPU so - 40 Cores overall all.
Licensing is by server, so 20 is the number to talk about. The number of cores in your building isn't counted.

(DON'T SHOUT AT ME) - Both servers are connected to a SAN.
Storage is not a factor in Windows licensing. Even if they had awesome RLS you don't need to license special. SAN doesn't give you a discount, but it's just not considered.

I someone buys a single Datacenter 2019 Volume License (16Core License), Can we just spin up a few VM's that equal 16 Cores?
There's no such thing. Every VM is using hardware with 20 cores. The licensing is by how many cores are in the server, not how many you present to Windows.
So no, you have to license 20 cores. Even for a single VM, even if that VM uses only 1 vCPU itself.
yup, 10 core CPUs are likely a stupid purchase these days if you require running windows.

I only said that as you don't like SAN's and this isn't my setup

Hi All Y'all!
Long time, no see! My personal and work life have been really kicking me in the pants lately. The past 6 months or so have just really blurred together for me, lol.
Popping in to pester with a question again and hopefully go back to being around more soon.
Welcome back.
Thanks, lol.

Already had the morning stand up. About to go to coffee number two now.

Ever wonder how many people are reading ML on a Friday morning?

Not me. Don't know for sure but by the full parking lot, It looks like the vet across the street from work hasn't seen a blip.

Why would this be a thing? pet owners aren't seeing their vets? Or the owner of the vet office has closed them?

Slept in and made breakfast here.

Many vet offices closed to respect state orders, and are open now on a new social distance & mask requirement. Smart pet owners are only going to the vet for emergencies or special appointments, and many offices are limiting their lobby to one family at a time.

I guess I don’t understand... do people go to the vet for non medical issues? I suppose some people buy their pet food from their vet.
