Creating snapshots of UEFI VMs is a lot easier with Proxmox because its using LVM Thin.

It’s supports multiple storage types like nfs or cifs. So if you keep your iso files on another server you can connect to that server.

https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/latest-virtio/

Download the virtio-win iso file and upload that to Proxmox.

Since Proxmox is using LVM thin the controller is a virtio scsi so you will need the virtio-win driver.

To get rid of the no subscription message pop up

Proxmox makes it pretty easy to utilize cloud-init to help make some nice a nice templates.

Yeah I still go back and forth on how useful that is in non-cloud environments. Packer has a proxmox builder so you could leverage a CM tool to do the provisioning for your templates.

Besides what is configured in the cloud.cfg file in that VM, having this accessible from Proxmox Web UI is nice.

@black3dynamite Ok thanks. So it looks like another virtualization option. What advantages and disadvantages does it have with KVM?

It's still KVM. They just using there own toolkit to manage KVM.

What about setting the active hours during the time of use?

# Enter -Value in 24hr format 10PM is 22
# ActiveHoursEnd = 0 (12AM/00:00:00)
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings' `
-Name ActiveHoursEnd `
-Value 0

# ActiveHoursStart = 6 (6AM/06:00:00)
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsUpdate\UX\Settings' `
-Name ActiveHoursStart `
-Value 6

@black3dynamite interesting. Have you used this?

The script works great.

And found a quick way to confirm if the hook script works after a Proxmox replaces proxmoxlib.js file.

apt --reinstall install proxmox-widget-toolkit

Since I normally using Debian or Ubuntu LTS has a container. I discovered an issue with using fedora 31 container image. After creating the container, the network of that container will not work anymore because of the systemd version. Need to add lxc.mount.auto: sys to /etc/pve/lxc/<vm-id>.conf.

Also when you use fedora 31 container image SELinux is disabled and there's no firewalld or iptables. Not exactly a big deal since you can use Proxmox firewall to manage VMs and containers.

Why can’t they start developing on .net core instead since that will be the one that is equally being developed Microsoft for Windows, Mac and Linux?

Proxmox full backup is not bad when your lxc containers is small.

Show us the audit logs.

# this command will so anything that was denied.
sudo tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log | grep "denied"

Don't disable SELinux, temporary set it to permissive.

# temporary set SELinux to permissive
sudo setenforce permissive

# confirm SELinux is set to permissive
getenforce

# set it SELinux back to enforcing after you fix the permissive
sudo setenforce enforcing

Just received a new update fix

Pi-Hole version 5 is in beta and you can use its new group management to fine tune web filtering.

Create your groups

Add your clients to your groups

You can use group assignment to assign your adlist.

Instead of Plex what about using Kodi on a Raspberry Pi device?

@IRJ said in New to Windows Active Directory and Group Security Management:

Make an AD group called workstation_admins and add that group to local administrators account on each desktop. This group does not need any AD rights and nobody's account should be in there except for IT admin accounts. Even those IT admin accounts should not be used on local desktops to login on a regular basis. Only when elevation is actually needed, and even then you should use run as.

Here's a good example.

Create the Permission groups

Assign the relevant permissions/rights to the Permission groups
