Is there any command option available? I know top has an option you can feed it that makes it function in such a way that you can easily send the data to a file.

If I wanted to stay in the RHEL world, and the 16 systems would be sufficient I'd likely just use RHEL. Otherwise, if I wanted to stay in the RHEL world, and CentOS Stream wasn't viable, I'd like use Oracle Linux.

On the Sales program thing, I've been in the developer program for almost a year. I joined when I learned about it right before my RHCSA exam to get actual RHEL for practice. Other than E-mails into which I opted in, I haven't received a single sales communication from Red Hat.

I don't care for the new Windows-esque "installing updates don't power off your computer" screen on a reboot that was introduced in 34.

It was in 33 also if you did a clean install.

That's true.

I usually do my updates with dnf upgrade followed by rebooting from BASH. That method never seems to trigger the aforementioned screen.

I wonder how much they will get the latency down to. I know they are advertising 50-100Mb/s and 20-40ms latency on their Beta program now.

I just want service in Georgia (United States).

I couldn’t wait. Doing a fresh install of 34, KDE spin right now.

I'll be updating the laptop this weekend.

There's a good bit of dysfunction going on, such as two weeks after starting to look into what's needed for configuration manager there's still no authoritative answer on "talk to this person to see what Microsoft licensing we have."

I'm trying to get an idea of what's needed myself, and most of what I found is in relation to those who already have System Center and having current SA entitles you to Configuration Manager Current Branch.

@voip_n00b said in Microsoft Endpoint Manager (Configuration Manager) licensing:

@eddiejennings are you too far down this road to use something else?

Pretty much On-High is wanting Configuration Manager. Frankly, I like the product as well, I just don't know the licensing requirements for a new deployment.

I'm trying to wrap my head around the licensing required for a new Configuration Manager (Microsoft Endpoint Manager) deployment.

It looks like Configuration Manager is now no longer a part of System Center, and most of the documentation I've found only talks about scenarios of using Current Branch Configuration Manager for those with existing System Center licensing.

It appears that the licensing is attached to Microsoft 365 offerings like E5. This makes sense to me as far as licensing end-user devices managed with Configuration Manager. I'm trying to figure out how server VMs, which would be managed with Configuration Manager would be licensed.

From what I've seen from the Product Terms site, it looks like the licensing looks more traditional: Licensing the cores of the hypervisor host(s) where the VMs are running combined with client management licenses.

We had SCCM where I worked before; however, licensing was 2+ layers of management abstraction away from me, so I never had a chance to see the actual agreements we had with Microsoft. Also the product terms link was for MSPA. Like with my last job, I have no way (currently) to see what our current licensing program is.

Have any of you licensed a new deployment of Configuration Manager since the change of it being spun out of System Center?

Looking forward to watching some Red Hat Summit sessions today.
