Windows Server 2016
Why 2016? You'd want to get 2019 and if you really had a requirement, you'd install 2016.
This is what I was told to order by My micro manager
Good luck, you can't even buy CALs for Server 2016... Only the current version. (of course they are backwards compatible)
@francesco-provino said in Thoughts on Bonanza and legality?:
I know of many SMB that has purchased licenses like that for years, zero issues.
Having zero issues and being legal and compliant are two completely different things. You'll likely never get audited unless you have volume licensing, and without an audit, the legality will likely never come into play.

Everywhere in Upstate NY there are Christmas decorations up. This is ridiculous.
How about this for ridiculous:
One of my friends said that they started playing Christmas music on one of his favorite radio stations 1-2 weeks ago, so he has been listening non-stop during his car rides.
My wife is one of these Christmas crazies. She's been listening to xmas music for about 2 weeks now too. Our tree and decorations usually go up on Nov. 1. :man_facepalming:
Behind an RP, yes. I feel like that's not what you want though?

Nothing in that statement is evidence, and if it was it would be self incriminating, so the person isn't compelled to give up that information.
Except he told them that THEY knew what was there. In theory, that statement in a court would mean that the cops could testify as to what evidence was there because he granted as evidence that they knew what the evidence was. Therefore, they are witnesses by his admission. That he gave it up and self incriminated isn't a problem, because he did so voluntarily.
Anything the police claimed they knew was on there because of the suspect's statement would probably be considered hearsay. They don't actually know first hand what's there... Just because the suspect said they know doesn't constitute proof.
Doesn't it? It's proof that he admitted to anything that they say is on there. That's admission. And admission does not require further proof.
No, the defense could claim he meant his Christmas list... it could literally mean anything, he didn't admit to having anything on there. We all know there's drivers and a filesystem, nothing incriminating about that. The defense would ask if the police have been in his computer and seen something incriminating, as soon as they said "well... no," the entirety of their claims would mean nothing.

they suspect based on the statement of someone they've already charged with a similar crime and are attempting to charge with additional, similar crimes.
Nope, That's not the case. If you think this, you've missed the point of the discussion.
They don't think, they know in a legal sense because the person in question has admitted to it. That's it. Over and done, the whole thing. Passwords, eye witness, all pointless background noise.
He told the cops that what they thought was on there was, in fact, there. What more is needed to prosecute?
"Sir, we need to go in your house to see if there is evidence of a murder."
"You don't need to come in, we both know that I murdered the guy."
You don't need to see the body or find the weapon, he admitted to the crime.
This is completely different because this person explicitly admitted to murder. If the police knocked on his door and said "we need to come in and search your house", "We both know what's in there" certainly isn't an admission of any wrongdoing. Maybe when he said it would hurt him, he had pics of himself in cosplay and he was super embarrassed?
Anything the police claimed they knew but didn't actually witness first hand would certainly, 100%, be hearsay.
Looks like this is what he's using? https://github.com/NAUbackup/VmBackup
DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT UNLESS YOU ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THESE ACTIONS.
For vm-export: (a) xe vm-snapshot, (b) xe template-param-set, (c) xe vm-export, (d) xe vm-uninstall on the vm-snapshot.
For vdi-export: (a) xe vdi-snapshot, (b) xe vdi-param-set, (c) xe vdi-export, (d) xe vdi-destroy on the vdi-snapshot.
No idea what this actually means, but I'm guessing the backup script deleted your base disk (the snapshot?) for the recovered VM?
@scottalanmiller said in Miscellaneous Tech News:
That might be true, but it's also irrelevant. He said that what the "cops knew", was what was on there. I'm not saying that him admitting to the crime actually proves that he did it, I'm saying that admitting to it is all that matters from a court perspective.
It's still speculation. They don't ACTUALLY know, because they've never been there...
@smitherick said in Unitrends VM Backup Essentials, anyone used?:
I'm gonna try installing on XCP-ng to see what happens anyway.
Why not use Xen Orchestra Community Edition? Full backup suite included for free.
Checking back in on some network devices in UNMS after firmware upgrades last night. Moved my ES-48-500W to the "lite" firmware and the CPU and RAM usage has gone down ~10-13%.
When I was researching ERP systems I installed Odoo, which can do this, among many other things.

trying to find an intel based, 14", 128GB SSD, 4GB laptop for under $700 for a school.
Do the AMD CPUs work OK or do you get weird buggy things happening with them every now and then??
Did you find one? Should be pretty easy to find.
@jaredbusch said in Looking for an Employee Vacation Calendar:
Of course they have an ancient Lathem system running on XP that I P2V onto the server. They have a network connected pin pad terminal that the hourly employees use to clock in and out.
But no one has the software. A single user used RDP to connect to the XP system on Mondays and get the time from the previous week.
This is almost exactly like what we use, but it at least has an employee portal where they can check their hours and request time off and stuff. It's so bad, but it's still working so I get no love on upgrading it.
@G-I-Jones said in Gaming - What's everyone playing / hosting / looking to play:
Finally bought RDR2 and have been playing Online a bit. There is no greater feeling than spawning into a session just to immediately get shot in the head, told your username is stupid, and called a pussy by someone who sounds like their father and uncle are the same person. Game looks great though! Really loving the hunting & fishing aspect.
I haven't played online and I only have about 4 hours into the story mode... but I'm not loving it so far. Everything feels really clunky to me for some reason. I'm not used to holding a certain key vs. tapping it for a different result. I also hate how slow looting is; I understand it's intentionally that way, but I still don't like it. It's a beautiful game, and I want to love it, but it might just not be the right game for me.
@dustinb3403 This doesn't even sound like a bug, more like intentional crippling. Is there some proprietary Apple file sharing protocol they want people using?
Finally back to work. Took a couple weeks off to be a stay at home dad while my wife recovers from a total shoulder replacement surgery.
@momurda said in XCP-ng pricing:
So you think only your opinion matters on what the pricing should be? You dont pay for their backup software, you dont pay for XS license, you arent their target audience for their support product either.
This is ridiculous. If they were going to monetize this project so heavily they should have skipped the kickstarter phase.
Why can't @DustinB3403 care about the product and want the best of both worlds? This idea is in it's infancy and now is the best time to try influencing the creators. If they don't want input then they shouldn't be asking for it.
IMO it's crazy to just say "f#%$ you" to the entire SMB market. I'm certainly not going to pay $4000 a year, each, for both of my 4-core hosts. I'd like to support the project somehow but I don't think I'll be able to convince my boss to just donate money to them either lol If I can say this will cost us $500 a year and we'll get 3 tickets a year (using proxmox's plan/pricing), then I can at least present that without sounding insane.

Does anybody running KVM have issues with Windows XP guests?
Just upgraded XCP-ng from 7.6 to 8.0 and now our stupid ass ancient punch clock app running on XP won't boot :angry_face:
I think the issue lies in the fact that your business is still relying on Windows XP for any service.
Talk with the punch clock vendor and get a new one, don't blame the hypervisor.
100% not blaming the hypervisor lol I can't tell you how many times I've told management that the thing is on it's last leg and no longer supported. The software hasn't been updated since 2001... Silly me keeps fixing it though. I think it might finally be time to upgrade.
I spend at least an hour a week updating the thing manually, I've added up my costs and shown them how much money the stupid ass thing costs the company and they don't care.
I do need to spin it up on something and retrieve the data though. That's why I was asking about KVM. I guess I could just do it on my computer with Hyper-V
I'm afraid to even go to their website after reading this :grimacing_face:
