They don't treat the "business" that you work for as seriously as American or European (or Nicaraguan in my case)

That's the first time anyone ever referred to Latin America as "serious" in business. The work ethic of Latin America, besides the lowest level of worker, is horrible. It was like pulling teeth to get things done in Costa Rica when I was running Vegas Club Room. And then we start mentioning South, especially Brazil, holy f[moderated]!

Costa Rica has a reputation for work issues even in Central America, I would not use that as the standard. I've not seem similar issues in Panama, for example. Nicaragua I am still getting to know.

Sorry for the confusion- its a development server, but i still need to make sure that these are updated with minimal downtime. I am trying to push the AD changes to some other time at least wait for the dev team to complete the tasks in hand, but not very sure if they will stop it just for us

Hi Scott-
Just found out about this site - thanks for the ioSafe mention. Perfect application btw. The ioSafe 214 now comes with drive options - all new loaded ioSafe NAS products contain WD Red Drives by default and have for several months now. We'll be working on updating the product description in the field over time. Also, all NAS units can be ordered with Enterprise Grade Drives as an option.

Redundant NICs are an option on the 1515+ but not the 214.

Hope that helps!

How does Group Policy affect AD memberships or does it?

It does not. AD and GPO are separate things.

$computers = Get-Content -path C:\fso\computers.txt
$user = "aUser"
$password = "MyNewPassword!"
Foreach($computer in $computers)
{
$user = [adsi]"WinNT://$computer/$user,user"
$user.SetPassword($Password)
$user.SetInfo()
}

Awesome, glad it worked.

Well, I think...I'm pretty sure...

Wish I could be helpful I haven't had a need to do this since... 2010? And that was for college.

I do remember that everyone was struggling with Ubuntu to get it connected to AD but CentOS (which is what I was using at the time) worked flawlessly.

It's OpenVPN and IPSec, I've used both a ton. No concerns there at all. But it doesn't do what Pertino does. While both are VPNs, they are completely different things. Pertino is a hosted full mesh. Ubiquiti, like any hardware VPN, is a site to site VPN. ** There are very few times that both would be an option for the same network.**

Really? I could see this being useful in my case where I have 4 remote locations using Site to Site, and for my mobile users they could use Pertino.

Bind error is found when a client does a dcdiag to the server.

And I want any call to that device to go to me, not to whoever is holding it.

You don't really (at least easily) have this ability now.

So how would AD made this any different?
By turning the device into a multi-user device. That's AD's function, to make things easily multi-user.

@Dashrender said:

did you find the problem?

Nope. Didn't get much time to work on it though.

Nevermind solved that problem

I logged into my O365 in Word - now I see my SharePoint site, and my business OneDrive... and there is the personal one drive, but it wants me to log into that (seems odd).

Is there a way to get OneDrive for Business into Windows Explorer like there is for OneDrive for home users?

I had to do a bizarre dance to get ODfB to show up. Been rock solid since.

I just followed this:

Two minute job and I'm all sorted.

Glad to hear that it is all working well!

I incorrectly started my GPOs in the default GP 10 years ago... like you I've moved away from this practice completely allowing me greater flexibility where needed.
