Been getting absolutely destroyed with calls today.
-
scheduled windows 10 upgrade for tomorrow (where I'll be prepared to have my Laptop for calls. ) wanted to do it today , but haven't had a slow enough time to do so.
-
Creating a Zip Folder for my ISO of Server 2019 to put onto a flash drive so I can Use it at my house after I install Fedora 31 and KVM to practice Windows AD for hands on practice.
-
Studying Linux storage systems. Mount points are no longer a mystery.

apparently even after creating a zip file it's too large to transfer..

To transfer to where? You'll need Fat32 up to a 4 GB file, you'll need NTFS for anything larger as a single file.

True, but modern versions of windows require fat32 to make a UEFI bootable USB stick. I usually use Rufus to make installer USBs, it will choose the correct settings based on the ISO file.

I dont want a Bootable USb. i have one; What I'm wanting is to move the file to another Device so I can set up a VM and install that way.

USB sticks can be formatted either way - it's about the USB sticks current format....many come formatted from the factory as Fat32 so they were everywhere.

Though - if you have a Bootable server stick - you could just present that stick to the VM when doing the install and it will pull from there.

That's fair, I just don't have an extra one right now

so you have to copy anything off of it you want to save - and then reformat it as NTFS

having to put in reservations for .255 & .0 ip addresses as windows dhcp issues them when you have a /23 scope. annoying.
Why would you be reserving them? In a /23 scope they are just part of the normal range. You should be using them for something special. Nothing should be annoying in that system.
It can cause confusion for stand in support people seeing .0 and/or .255 IP addresses, it's not usual.
Plus I split the network up, 254 addresses on 1 dhcp server and 254 on another. You can't exclude 0 & 255 from being assigned so I just reserve them so they don't get assigned.
I thought MS added failover DHPC servers in Server 2016 - so two servers could share a single range without risk of double assigning? Perhaps I misread something.

I have dhcp running on 2 servers with non overlapping address scopes
server 1 hands out a.b.c.100 - 254

they do they just broadcast for an address, doesn't matter whether they're on network a or b, the scope options are the same for both scopes/servers. It's no different to having a single dhcp server that gives out addresses from a.b.c.100 - a.b.d.254

That's really weird. The problem with that setup is that you've got more stuff to maintain. You have the equipment of an HA setup, but without HA. You have complexity from the setup causing your techs to be confused (see your earlier comment) and if they (the DHCP servers) respond unevenly you could exhaust one pool and not the other. So it's negative in three ways without any positives. Your pool is overall smaller, the setup is overly complex, you have unnecessary risks, and you are paying for a full HA setup but not using it. Not to mention, you don't have a single source of reporting so looking up what is going on is really hard. Plus you have to configure two things instead of one.
Multiple DHCP servers on a single network is always considered a "no no". I've literally never heard of it done intentionally before. It's normally a mistake (by normally, I mean always.) And you turn off whatever one is not needed.
