@mike-davis said in Unifi Time Schedule:

Ah, maybe the best approach would be to have two SSIDs. One on a schedule and one on all the time. Then only allow devices you want to connect to the all on SSID.

This is what I have done in the past for myself and my friends/family. I setup a SSID for parents and then sometimes a SSID for each child. That way the parent can turn off the internet for one child and not bother the other children. Of course I always think that the punishment imposed by the children on other children for everyone losing internet because of the actions for one is a great way to get them to behave.

@danp his installation is pre-service creation.

IMO time to rebuild and get current.

Also XenServer (and soon to be XCP-ng) have a vSAN type of approach as well.

I'd ask @olivier to explain how it all works though.

@dustinb3403 said in OpenProject Installation Troubleshooting.:

eh.

I agree, but I just want to see what it's all about, which docker will work fine for. Maybe I'll revisit once I have more time. Doubt I'll be much help even then though.

You can turn on debug by changing false to true in .env file, so you can see more information instead of Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

Oh, wait, it's Friday afternoon.

Ya I also pretty much use Virt-Manager/Virsh. I have a bare KVM server and an OpenStack box. I pretty much use Ansible/Terraform to spin up new instances on OpenStack.

I've had this happen on multiple occasions. The system was configured to use the internal windows database instead of sql, and there were too many records so the refreshes and etc. would take forever, or you'd get the reset server node issue. After I migrated the database to sql, the problem mostly went away. It still occurs on slow connections.

Now as a general recommendation (really never do this), don't install Windows Server onto the bare metal, install your hypervisor to the bare metal. In this case Hyper-V.

Apply your licensing to the 2 VM's that you are allowed to create with Standard (and up licensing) then you'll be allowed to move your VM's around every 90 days or sooner for hardware failures etc.

@dustinb3403 I appreciate the recommendation of alternate imaging software and i personally would love to use them but my mission is to get the VHDs stored in the windows image to transfer over directly to a blank HDD, no matter the method used the windows image must be the source of the restoration.

This is the issue here. He is stating he must use Windows Recovery to restore the operating system.

Not sure of why or what requirement this is other than

@ezacal said in Cross Post - Restoring Windows 7 Image Without a Repair disk or Installation Media:

@dustinb3403 ah yes i neglected to mention we are able to clone the drive via clonezilla but a lot of the times the users have to continue work while we send out a new drive, so as of now i only have a windows image to work with, with the constraint of not being able to use a repair disk

Where he says the users have to be able to use their systems.

Which the answer to this is an Agent based backup solution (Veeam Endpoint, UrBackup etc) can all write to remote storage and can be written to new drives that then get sent out to the user to physically remove the hard drive from their system to install this "restored image".

There are potential issues with this. Restoring a computer image that's 3 months old could easily find a situation where the restore has a different computer password with the network, etc.

But Dragon Media argues that it is merely facilitating access to online content rather than providing pirated TV itself. "The entertainment industry for decades, even going back to Sony Betamax cases, have been fighting tooth and nail against innovation and technology and losing almost every single battle," Syverson said. "There is no reason for plaintiffs to be optimistic in any way."

"I remember a young company called YouTube whose business model was copyright infringement. It was sued, and it didn't turn out too badly for YouTube, did it?" Syverson also said. (Viacom sued YouTube in 2007, and the case was settled in 2014.)

"Generally speaking, linking to content online has been cleared by almost every court in the land," he said.

I'm honestly not sure why the installer isn't up there. It should be.... I'll take a look at this today and see if I can't figure out what release we ended up loosing it in. I'll get it back up there.

Not the same thing as its not an AirPlay (AirParrot) solution, but is a broadcasting solution to a stream or file.

I looked at AirParrot and thought that it was a broadcasting solution. What do you see it as doing?

Stream from a laptop (windows or mac) to Chromecast or AppleTV connected to a TV for screen mirroring.

I thought that that was what that did.

@dustinb3403 said in Does Regular maintenance count as Downtime?:

It's a question of what does 99.999% include.

That percentage is uptime, and specifically means that services are available 99.999% of the time... with no more than 5 minutes 15 seconds of downtime per year.

This is achieved through High Availability solutions. Such as in the example of websites, load balancing web servers with redundant reverse proxies, IPs, DNS, etc...

You can't have uptime like that if services are unavailable...

You do planned maintenance piece by piece so that you don't have to bring down your services. You would do firmware or OS updates on nodes 2, 4, and 6, while nodes 1, 3, and 5 are still running and providing services.

@scottalanmiller said in Comcast and AT&T laying off thousands after claims that tax discounts will create jobs:

The article says that people were fired, not layed off. Very different things. Fired means that they weren't doing their jobs, or were getting in trouble. Not that they were no longer needed. To fire someone requires a very different reaction to the IRS than laying them off. You lay people off when you re-org. So something fishy with the article.

Yes, the article is using click bait terms of course.

While firing and laying off are very different things to the IRS, that does not mean that firing is only done to people that were not doing their jobs or were getting into trouble.

If a firm wants to simply get rid of a person or persons, they can simply fire them for no reason if they so desire in most states.

But on the subject of the linked article, the people were giving severance packages and required to sign NDAs about them. So layed off is not what happened. Employment was terminated, so fired is a correct term, if someone baited in this instance.

Having TaskScheduler in Windows run PowerShell scritps is like rolling dice depending on the context in which you are running the script...

So when in doubt:

I always have guaranteed success when starting the PS script from a batch file first from a scheduled task.

Create a scheduled tasked using these lines in an elevated powershell window:

Creates a scheduled task:

$action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute 'C:\ProgramData\scripts\PSKickoff.bat' $trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtStartup $principal = New-ScheduledTaskPrincipal -GroupId "BUILTIN\Administrators" -RunLevel Highest $settings = New-ScheduledTaskSettingsSet $task = New-ScheduledTask -Action $action -Trigger $trigger -Principal $principal -Settings $settings Register-ScheduledTask -TaskName "Scheduled Task Friendly but Meaningful Name" -InputObject $task

Note: Change above New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -AtStartup to match your schedule. Here's the info for it.

The batch file that the scheduled task runs:

Powershell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -File "C:\ProgramData\scripts\yourScript.ps1"
