Learned tonight that by default tcp 445 (SMB) is blocked on Hyper-V Server 2016.
It works by default when domain joined using domain admin creds. never tried any other setup.
Yeah. That makes sense too. The windows box I’ll be using for hyper-v manager isn’t on a domain; thus, I’ve jumped through the necessary hoops to get hyoerv manager to connect.
Those have been some huge hoops in the past! Ask @wirestyle22 . lol
He's not kidding

Wondering how you get the "old" generation to see other options as valid business options
and not what the "sales" people tell them?e.g.
Hyperconverged (e.g. Scale) over 3-2-1 SAN setup.
Using FreePBX instead of paid for onprem BCM/AVAYA phone systems? -
Half way to St. Louis

The mask to show the better reasons for your first part is more difficult and subjective potentially.

But they don't see it as "business critical" system and it's for small/hobby people

Then you’re presenting it wrong. Phone system is straight math. Business critical or not spending less money over time will be paid attention to.
Or the owners are just that bad

Old is never an issue. It's competence. For some reason, there is an association between "old school" and "incompetent", but it is false. People who've done a good job for decades general continue to do so. There are just some cases ( a lot actually) where someone has been incompetent for forever, but their incompetence came out as functional just because of random alignment of tasks in the past, so it was hidden. And over time, as things changed around them, they become exposed for having been incompetent all along but having gotten lucky.

First one is simple too, the math is stupid easy.

That's okay, we see them as not business critical and just hobbyists who just buy what sounds cool from salesman and who don't understand or care about business.

Yes. I think I'll have a yearly performance review, but my direct supervisor does monthly chats. I actually like it. It's basically a review of current projects, a preview of what's coming down the pipe, and a chance to talk about challenges, etc.

ohhh - OK I have that too, but it's not a review of me - just more a status review.

Mind is kind of both. Such as, if I were a slacker, this would be a chance for my supervisor to warn me to shape up before "official" action is taken. Also, the projects we talk about are the one specific to me rather than specific to the whole team.

Cold, rainy day. Both kids are hiding in different rooms under covers. Neither has emerged from bed, yet.
