Ubiquiti Mport and Temperature sensor has be ordered to use mFI to turn on a fan if needed and and off if not needed from the PDU. and also to hard kill everything if a it gets too hot.

That's awesome. Very impressive. HOw did that cost?

It was less than $100 for both the sensor and the mPort (which puts the serial devices on TCP/IP)

I use CrashPlan PRO on a Linux machine to mount my Synology NAS via NFS and offsite my Veeam Backups.

This is a supported method of backing up a NAS.

I found a solution to this issue the server was without RAID and there is only one hard disk found installed with the server OS and other without Server OS which is to be installed with the server.Since this is my first server issue I found the server without RAID.

I agree, the message explains everything. The IPMI driver has not been installed yet. They even provide a link for more information.

Yup video cards can do that. OOB Management cards do this too (ILO, Drac, etc.)

This should help.

A surprisingly high number of people in IT are faking that they are able to do their jobs. It's very important for your own career to recognize when people actually know what they are talking about and when they are bluffing. Which people you can trust with advice and which you cannot.

listed on the server tag somewhere.

There is no password is present in the tag Sir

It should be in two locations like these:

@Rob-Dunn Yup, I hope it helps!

Did you remember to do....

apt-get update && apt-get upgrade && reboot

Before trying the distro update?

Apt-get upgrade didn't find the update, and I have run apt-get update. It's not seeing it for some reason...

You should check out the following regarding GPO settings:

With regards to why your computers aren't checking in...well, I have a how-to for that as well!

Thanks Rob. I'll check those out tomorrow!

AD is only down for long periods of time because no one notices. If we were monitoring the AD environment closely, which we certainly need to do but it isn't a priority, we wouldn't have those long outages. It's because being down for a week has zero impact that no one investigates the issues until a convenient time or someone notices because they were attempting a ping test or something.

Thanks guys for all the help! I'm going to fix this...except I somehow lost access to the vSphere lab...I opened a helpdesk request but likely it'll be tomorrow before I can get access again. The helpdesk here, internally, is not particularly quick...

No problem. A simulation will tell you a lot.

Have you done anything with your new server yet?

That's neat, but isn't it still just a Type-2 Hypervisor?

It's just an interface. It doesn't change VirtualBox.

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.
