What @JaredBusch said +make sure DC2 is a global catalog before demoting DC1.
Regarding replication, as I don't like to wait I would use repadmin to be sure replication is completed instead of waintg for x business days.

I have mine working out of CentOS 7 minimal with ssh/perl and ports 2500-5000 open. Veeam does not even need root or NFS for a Linux repository.
Be careful as Veeam copies and executes programs to /tmp and I had my /tmp partition with noexec; took me a while to figure it out.

As it may help someone else:
I just made a new installation of XO Community (xo-server 5.32.2, xo-web 5.32.1) and found a problem with the web interface not fully working. As I use nginx as a reverse SSL proxy and HTTP authenticator I needed a custom .config.yaml

It happens that the included sample.config.yaml is not ready to be used (it's a sample, I get it). The mounts: section does not include the required files to be served.
Mine, which is a default installation worked with:

  mounts:
    '/': '/opt/xen-orchestra/packages/xo-web/dist'

@dbeato
Shame on me for skipping that part, I lost about 1 hour. In my defense, their documentation is not consistent (so I was kind of lost).

• Here it is recommending packages/xo-server/.xo-server.yaml
• I remember having used packages/xo-server/.config.yaml
• Now I'm using /etc/xo-server/config.yaml per https://xen-orchestra.com/docs/configuration.html

Thank you!

@WrCombs
Now I'm intrigued. Can you do me a favor?
Please download http://www.alexnolan.net/software/dbf.htm and try to open a copy of one of those DBfs.

• If it works you will have your solution
• If it does not work, I will owe you one

@jmoore said in Standard Plugins for WordPress Sites:

disable xml-rpc

I protect xml-rpc and Admin from brute force attacks with some ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) custom rules. Basically I instruct CSF/LFD to look for POST requests to xmlrpc.php & wp-login.php in the webserver log and block the source IPs after x failed attempts

@travisdh1 said in MailCow in Production Datacenter:

things randomly break.

I agree. I have avoided docker because some things do not seem reliable. And I have applied mailcow updates that break things that should not be broke: I mean what happens makes no sense.
On the other hand, I have moved mailcow from Debian to CentOS within short maintenance windows and docker has eased the process.
Now that I think about it, mailcow is probably the only docker based deployment I have and probably will for some time

I would say:
lsyncd for user mode, simple, rsync based solution: https://github.com/axkibe/lsyncd
csync2 for multi-host synchronization with conflict detection: https://github.com/LINBIT/csync2
MARS for a kernel side solution (DRBD alternative): http://schoebel.github.io/mars/

@beta said in Office 365 Licensing sanity check:

Am I reading correctly that I can mix and match different subscriptions? For example, can I just buy the small subset of users that we need to ensure compliance with the advanced O365 licenses like E3+E5 Compliance add-on? And for majority of our users who don't touch this type of data a simple Nonprofit Business Standard?

I am not used to non-profit licensing, but in CSP commercial licensing you can mix any kind of license within the same tenant.

@WrCombs
Awesome!

@Pete-S
We were not sure they were dBase files. Even Oracle database uses .dbf extension for data files.

What about archiving instead of backup? MailStore is good

Lucidlink may work. I have not tried it yet, but looks great.
https://www.lucidlink.com/
The files are stored on cloud object storage and shown locally thru a virtual filesystem, accessed on demand with a local cache. This long video shows its capabilities and addresses some questions: https://youtu.be/hTM6b-Tk2jQ
Around 14:18 a movie is copied to the cloud while simultaneously played on another workstation while it is still not completely uploaded (bad wording, I know).

The demo obviously uses high speed internet but they say they are optimized for high latency connections. Still, lots of things to check for real world usage.

Edit: Fixed URL

@JasGot
I am an indirect CSP but I do not handle any non-profit organization.
My customers can see the subscription but they cannot change the licenses assigned to it from the Office 365 Admin portal; they need to request the addition/subtraction to my company or use the portal of my direct CSP. They can request the cancellation of a subscription but we need to authorize it.

The client is able to have subscriptions with more than one reseller and directly with Microsoft.

@JasGot
We have moved many clients from other CSPs without needed to migrate anything: It was just an administrative thing, no lock-in. There was just one client that needed a full migration using BitTitan, but it was a special case involving a merge.

On the other hand, once the client accepts the link we are given management access to their tenant and we are able to perform many administrative tasks on behalf of the client.

@scottalanmiller
Thanks for the clarification

Is it for asynchronous replication? I know it is for synchronous.

Which tool?
DRBD as the standard asynchronous replication option for Linux
