I still don't understand they need a on-site server. Seems like a perfect opportunity to do everything "in the cloud".

@BBigford No Problem. Once I realized that the port numbers change, I realized the issue right away.

Clients are being seen by the WSUS server now

100% Xen Orchestra compatible
In fact, XenServer 7 is more compatible with Xen Orchestra, because the toolstack is more reliable than in 6.5. So you'll have:

• less bugs in XAPI with JSON-RPC
• full JSON-RPC support (faster XO!)
• more securiry with XAPI isolation via control groups (cgroups)

You'll be happy to have your XenServer tasks displaying properly the real progress in % during any long process (migrate, copy, etc.). This was broken (in JSON) in previous XenServer versions.

For some reason 2 of VM's randomly aren't running. I can fire them back up, and they run fine for a day or more, and then they are off again.

So I contact support after I export the log files.

I can't get there FTP upload to work, so I upload them to OwnCloud and send them a link.

Keep in mind each time you contact them, you have to wait 24 hours for a reply.... It's like there half way around the world or something

So this morning I get this reply:

Yes I am able to download the file but I cant convert it to readable format. It is in tgz format. Our FTP site converts the log files.

Really? They don't know how to use 7-Zip, etc to extract files? I immediately asked to have my case sent to a supervisor....

Adding a linux box to my desk this week

http://symless.com/synergy/

Disk 1 had an old 2003 install on it from before my time here.

I delete the partition and extended out the drives to get all the space available, however much to my surprise, it looks there is now 2 partitions, with one drive letter, which makes me uncomfortable at best.

Thoughts?

Fedora Workstation. I was trying to duel boot with Windows 10, but when I rebooted, I booted into Fedora once, then into Windows, and then I could not get back into Linux!

So I said screw it, and just wiped the drive and installed Fedora on the whole drive.

So what are you favourite Linux apps?

Let’s Encrypt will begin issuing wildcard certificates in January of 2018. Wildcard certificates are a commonly requested feature and we understand that there are some use cases where they make HTTPS deployment easier. Our hope is that offering wildcards will help to accelerate the Web’s progress towards 100% HTTPS.
