Dealing with the leavings from someone who refused to do things correctly with ESXi. No cpu or memory hot plug enabled and only 2GB of ram on a Windows Server VM... yeah, just so bad as you think. At least it's only a DC and not something important. That waits till some other time
Do you need more than 2 go for a DC?
Not if you do it properly and dont install a GUi in a small environment.

I'd say no, unless you have several thousand users. Our student domain has nearly 35k accounts and roughly 10k that are heavily used... actual RAM usage is ~4gb (the servers are given 8gb).

Got my morning coffee, let's do this.
-
Looking for Ethernet enabled smart power strips so I can power cycle things over the network. Anyone have any relatively low cost options?
-
Tons of wifi/IoT individual outet ones you could plug a strip into but reliability's probably not great. For wired network connections, not much that's cheap. We have two of these that we found for a discount:

that we use at our 2 cable modem sites to auto reboot cable modems when Internet is down. They can be set up as just an IP enabled switch. -
Zabbix updates.
-
@jt1001001 That's the exact unit I saw and was considering. So you use these and they work well enough?
-
Home stretch to the weekend. TGIF!!

nice
and my direct supervisor asked me as soon as our new boss walked away :
"Are you sure you're ready for a site that big? you've really only done bars which is pretty cut and dry. Just wanted to make sure you're ready to take on that challenge. "
To which I replied " You betcha' ass I'm ready."

With my new boss I've already gotten access to 20 hours of video training, actual training classes, and open communication on how to make things better which I've never gotten before,
And more responsibility.But let me guess - You're going to point out the past bullshit per usual?

Maybe, .... just maybe, patience paid off. Sometimes you gotta just let it ride.
Bring the vendors together and keep your hands off unless you have no choice.
Good luck -

I'm just being realistic that just because your immediate management has changed doesn't absolve the business of the crap they've put you through.
Improvement is great, but it needs to be maintained for the foreseeable future, not just for the immediate.

LPI Linux Essentials = passed. Now on to work in our wonderful Windows and XenApp environment.

@DustinB3403 Yes we have 2 of them set to auto-reboot our cable modems in the event they can't ping 8.8.8.8 and whatever the upstream router is; I have a 5 min timeout set so they ping every minute and if they do not get a response after 5 attempts power cycle the outet. So far they've worked well hand I've had them in place for maybe 2 years now. A former employee got them at a discount don't remembe where though.
