Gotta check the specials on xbyte. Still not as good as the HP, but it is from a proven vendor.

@marcinozga said in Transparent compression on folders in EXT4/XFS etc?:

Nope. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems#Allocation_and_layout_policies
Your only options are Btrfs or ZFS.

ZFS being the obvious choice for everything

@DustinB3403 said in How can I turn off auto centering in LibreOffice Calc?:

Do you have Column A locked so when you scroll everything else moves and A is hidden? Or is that filter on A only to find numbers etc?

It's just the behavior of a normal workbook. Nothing hidden or locked (from my experience anyway). If the column you want to edit extends off the right edge of the screen it moves the window to try to make the whole column visible.

Not that it's relevant really, but I don't see a way to turn it off in Excel either.

Or try the official documentation?

Edit: I couldn't tell if this was a spam post for rosehosting or not so I didn't post initially.

I setup a test FreePBX instance on Vultr the other day and I was having problems getting my phones to register so I started troubleshooting and found that all of my phones are getting the wrong gateway address from DHCP. All of the phones have reservations in Server 2012R2 DHCP server. So I deleted the reservation for one of the phones and made a new reservation with the same address, rebooted the phone, and it took all the proper settings this time around. This seems to only affect my phones (Yealink phones, a couple Cisco SPA112's, snom PA1) that I've noticed, none of my other reservations (linux servers, printers, etc.) are taking the wrong gateway address...

Is it expected behavior for old reservations to keep the settings of when they were first made, or is something funky going on with my DHCP server? Is this just coincidence and actually a problem with the phones?

Is there something I can do to get my phones to take the correct gateway address without recreating all of the reservations?

Am I missing something else entirely? Who knows :man_shrugging:

@dbeato said in Server 2012R2 DHCP reservations problem with my VOIP equipment?:

What do you have for the dhcp reservations?

What do you mean? Just the normal reservation setup on Windows Server. Hostname, IP address, MAC, and Supported Types: "both". I can't find any presence of my old router which the VOIP stuff seems to be clinging onto.

003 Router in scope options points to the correct gateway address, too.

Hypothetically, what happens if he convinced the customer to upgrade to Windows 10 all around and the issue persists? I don't see any references to where Windows 10 fixed the specific problem that he's having...

because we haven't upgraded the site to windows 10

Exactly, what if you upgraded the site to Windows 10 and the problem persists? What would the plan of action be then?

new equipment with a fresh windows 10 image.

The question was more posed to the other posters pushing the "Windows 10 upgrade is the only ethical and correct solution"

I know what your company would do lol that was clearly stated a hundred times :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:

. Updating or upgrading from non-genuine software with software from Microsoft or authorized sources does not make your original version or the updated/upgraded version genuine, and in that situation, you do not have a license to use the softwa"

I believe you're misinterpreting... I read this as if you're updating or upgrading non-genuine software WITH SOFTWARE FROM MICROSOFT (read MCT), you're not doing it right... You need a valid license to use MCT. Period.

Right, and if you have a valid Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 install then you have the valid license to use the MCT. They state that in multiple places that you linked.

Every link I posted said that the upgrade needs to be licensed... Not that those previous versions are automatic licenses to Win10

One of them very specifically states that the free upgrade offer ended in 2016 and that you need to purchase a new license

20 GB? Normal. 20 KB? also normal. :man_facepalming:

I recently had problems with some Dells that have AMD graphics cards. I had to uninstall the video drivers to get it to go through. Ours were stopping at 48%.

Wow. I'm an idiot. I always thought you had to have a QR reader app to use QR codes...

I just tried pointing the regular camera app of my iPhone at it and it read it immediately. :man_facepalming:

@openit

SaltStack but it lacks GUI.

I think MeshCentral and SS will surely solve alot of your issues

SS will probably be irrelevant by the time it's usable... if it's still a thing now?

Are you thinking SodiumSuite? or is Salt Stack really falling off already?

What Brand and Model of server is it? There is a Dell BIOS "system profile" setting that could be crushing your performance that looks like it was the default setting on some 12G servers. DAPC specifically.

@krisleslie said in Using XCP-NG latest release, Windows 2019 Server VM file copies are pegged at 10 MB/s:

it barely gets better on any host. I have roughly 10-20 vm's on each host. 3 at work are in production, 1 server at my home is being setup. Out of the 4 servers, 2 are brand new. The others aren't super old just 2.5 years old. I have my own lab and 2 servers also. Only 1 of my home servers is in use, but its running a Raid 0 for 2 10K RPM drives. All my servers have crappy speed when it pertains to windows file transfer. I do use linux also but I'm not as proficient with it so I focus right now only on Windows. My new servers are R540's one with full SSD's the other with 4 SAS 10K RPM hdd's. Only the full ssd host is in production. XCP-NG is installed on a BOSS ssd.

Just for reference, my home server is a Dell R220 and a R710. I've installed XCP-NG on everything you can imagine, still same issue. Bottleneck of Windows and I did confirm on my R710 it does use a broadcom nic.

I have a 10G and a 12G Dell in production at work, and an older HP server at home, all with XCP-ng. None of them have storage speed issues. Mix of thin and thick, too. I definitely prefer thin.

I hate to say this, because it seems obvious, but are you transferring millions of tiny files? Because that is always slow AF.

@Dashrender said in Using XCP-NG latest release, Windows 2019 Server VM file copies are pegged at 10 MB/s:

I have found that transferring via xcopy is much faster for small files than just drag and drop in windows.

I use Robocopy, I believe it's more powerful, but I think it's a little more complex too. Either will be way better at handling all of those small files than copying them in explorer.

Maybe somebody could help me with this. I don't know if the setting has been overridden by something in a recent update or what. But I used to have an Asterisk Dial Code (I believe it used to be called a "Custom Context"?) setup that made it so if a call was picked up by somebody else in the ring group it wouldn't be marked as a missed call on all the other handsets. After I ran updates a few days ago, we're now getting every call marked as missed on every other phone than the one that answered it...

Do I just need to mark "Answered elsewhere" option to "yes" in the ring group?? Will this accomplish the same thing as what I was doing before?

My Asterisk dial codes are currently set to TtrwWc, and I can't seem to find the documentation I used to set the custom context before.

I will try to spin up a backup from before the update and see if the dial codes are different. I just don't have time to do that right this minute.

@Dashrender said in MFA - who pays for authentication solution?:

for multiple sites? Just what everyone wants, a pocket full of tokens.

Who cares? If they're going to cry about the tokens give them the option to use their phone. But the tokens are what the company supplies...

We had to get a couple licenses for Enterprise + SA a few years ago and they were $292 each... You'll probably get some kind of discount for 450 licenses, but I don't know how much.

Another option is Windows 10 Enterprise E3 "starting at $7/month" lol, so $38k a year.
