Very cool product, will have to check it out. Looks easy to use and the graphs are just neat.

I assume that's I can specify the forwarders that this will use? Because I am using strongarm.io and so not want to lose that service.

I'm sure that you can. During install it asks you to pick from a list of options (Google, OpenDNS, etc.) but I'm not sure how you determine it after the fact. But probably easy.

You should be using command prompt instead of powershell to run that command.

I'm big fan of using Gamecast so having something like this is awesome.

Here are some of things you do with nba-go:

• You can check for schedule games.
• Compare data between to two teams.
• Realtime play-by-play, scoreboard and box scores.
• Lookup player information.

All the data comes from http://stats.nba.com/

ODfB is SharePoint.

In Win10 make sure the Web Client service is enabled and running.

Open the SharePoint site in Internet Explorer. Browse to a library folder. Under the Library "tab" Open With Windows Explorer".

Authenticate if prompted with O365 credentials.

Once complete, in File Explorer click and hold the folder icon at the head of the address bar and pull it down to Quick Access/Favourites.

Once the shortcut is there, right click on it and Properties.

That's the WebDAV URI/URL to use for whatever script or even persistent drive mapping needed.

Yeah, ask a user to do all of that.

Microsoft products are rarely user friendly. Not the route you go if you want it to be easy.

None are for Linux as well...

We use NextCloud on Linux, it's been working great.

I mean trying to guide a user to configure an application in Linux (Not a sync app) is most of the time complex.

I've been wondering if there is a good automated way to configure NextCloud client. I've not tried yet. Would be handy.

After deploying the client, you can probably script to configure each user.

https://www.thomasmaurer.ch/2016/07/how-to-disable-and-configure-windows-defender-on-windows-server-2016-using-powershell/

For now, just temporary disable Real-Time Protection via PowerShell
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $true

Download the executable and scan it manually before you install
Start-MpScan -ScanPath C:\datastore\file.exe -ScanType QuickScan

Enable Real-Time Protection after the install
Set-MpPreference -DisableRealtimeMonitoring $false

Make sure you have enabled Virtualization in the BIOS.

Salt uses your computer hostname as the minion id but that can be annoying if you ever end up changing your hostname after. You would end up having to change the minion id and on the salt master, you will need to accept the new minion id and remove the old minion id. You could create a script that makes the changes to the minion id file, restart the service and have salt master automatically accept the new minion and remove the old minion. If you were to use a unique Guid or UUID as the minion id then you can avoid this.

From a Windows systems, which value is unique that never changes?

# This won't change unless you reinstall
Get-ItemProperty -Path Registry::HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography | Select-Object -ExpandProperty MachineGuid

OR

# Both command shows the same the UUID value
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_ComputerSystemProduct | Select-Object -ExpandProperty UUID

- OR -

(Get-CimInstance -Class Win32_ComputerSystemProduct).UUID

From a Linux systems, which value is unique that never changes?

# This won't change unless you reinstall or use the systemd-machine-id-setup command
cat /etc/machine-id

OR

# Both command shows the same the UUID value
sudo dmidecode -s system-uuid

- OR -

sudo cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_uuid

While learning a little about Get-Acl and Set-Acl to copy security settings from source to destination.
You can do something like this, Get-Acl -Path "C:\RootFolderSecuritySettingsTemplate" | Set-Acl -Path "C:\MangoFolder" to copy the security settings from Get-Acl and use Set-Acl to apply it on the other folder.

So I wanted to check out the default security settings for the fixed and external drives. And I noticed that they are different on Servers and Desktops.

Here's what the default permissions looks like on Servers and Desktops.

HR should already have this covered by firing the users that is not following policies.

Ah yeah I remember that now.

It seems to have changed now because I was able to move the mouse around and interact with it. However, it was a little flaky until I added the virtio tablet and it seemed to be fine.

I'm sure bluestacks is better because I dont' think many people are running android this way.

This looks promising for Linux users.

@siringo said in Windows Servers Archived onto Linux, suggestions/help pls:

Gave up on wifi, found it's not worth the effort, can be a bit finnicky.

Anyway, got Proxmox installed with a test Windows server, a relatively painless process.

Next on the look into list, is see if I can create VMs from vhdx files in Proxmox?

https://mangolassi.it/topic/21751/import-a-qcow2-into-proxmox

Start with getting some documentation in place so you can document a system overview of the environment that includes who is owner of that specific system (Admins, Vendors), what's the system is used for, user(s) who you would escalate issues to and include the equipment too.

I know VirtualBox can read vmdk files. I think with KVM, you use qemu to convert the vmdk to qcow2.
