maintaining a 3D printer can be a HUGE PITA, for a small number of prints definitely makes it worth paying others to just handle the print, you only pay for a successful print, if you own the printer, and it fails, you loose those funds, etc.
This was another reason. After reading about setup and just running the things seemed to much hard work. If I got a hobby that would use it more often I would get one.
Denver's library system has several printers that are free to use by any library card holder. Check your local library.

If you know PL/SQL, and Linux server management, I know a place that's hiring.

Just tried to watch TV and realized that there isn't a single thing that I felt like sitting through.
Do you have a Roku or Samsung smart TV?

whatever, this is really damning to the smaller businesses out there that pay those low wages.
No, it's not. Irrational people looking for scapegoats for their own problems blaming those that are not at fault is the issue.
Super sad that this is our president right now.

Just supporting your post.

RE: Certifications
@IRJ said in Certifications:
Think forward when it comes to certifications. Prove where you want to be, not where you're at, currently. With 20 years in IT, an A+ is useless. You have already proven well above that competency. If I look at your resume and see Windows Server and powershell experience for 10 years, I know you have those skills and Windows Server cert doesnt really matter much to me. If you get a cert in AWS, Security, and Redhat. Then you seem pretty adaptable to any environment. It shows you have strength in 3 areas most Windows administrators don't have. Which increases your stock.
If I see powershell on a resume, I'm going to ask the difference between read-host and write-host durung the interview. You'd be surprised how many people just cuut/paste their life.

RE: Certifications
I just went through 6 months of unemployment, getting hired on 3/1. Many employers value certs and recruiters, in some cases, require them. I would advise getting a CompTIA Security+ and A+ at minimum, though the A+ is really only needed if you have less than 5 years in IT.

Coronavirus: First US deaths weeks earlier than thought
An autopsy in California has revealed that the first US coronavirus-related death came weeks earlier than previously thought.
The first previously known death in the US was in Seattle on 26 February and the first in California on 4 March. New information from a Santa Clara county coroner changes that timeline. Autopsies on two people who died on 6 February and 17 February show they died with Covid-19. Samples from the autopsies were sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which confirmed the presence of the virus, California's Santa Clara County coroner's office said in a statement on Tuesday.You really think nobody left China the second the first person got it? It obviously did a lot of spreading around the world before anyone started reacting to it.
Exactly - there are so many more people who have it than they realize.
I won't be a bit surprised if this thing ends up being only slightly more deadly than the Flu.
What? So you mean in something like 50 years? Please clarify, because the numbers don't lie.

RE: RAID - Two Arrays for Server? Array 1 for Windows Host and Array 2 for VMs and Data?
Maybe do a hypervisor off a USB stick or SDcard, and @StarWind_Software for the storage to be able to combine the 2 kinds of drives as a single solution?

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
Reviewing stocks. Blah. I bought Plantronics, and they're up. They are so low right now compared to where they were. Everything else is down and I should have picked to roku like 6 months ago when I told my mom to. She did, at 40 and now they are up to 120 range. I think my mom bought 50 stocks then. Smh
BTW, free stock for anyone in the US, if you want to try it without risking much. https://join.robinhood.com/greyh15 -

ve the local admin account on Windows Server that belongs to a domain? Or prevent logins.
Or is always possible to login as local admin (if you know the name/passwd)?I wouldn't disable the local admin of a server, it would come handy if you need to restore stuff or remove and add from the domain. LAPS works but beware
I agree with @dbeato. When sh$% hits the fan with the server, no networking or no cached credentials, you will long for a local admin account.
I do disable the Administrator account after creating my own local admin with 20+ char strong password. Less worries on both the security and DR front.
Yes, but if you have physical or kvm access, even virtual, you can use linux ntpass to turn on the admin account and reset the password. This would be the last resort if you really lost the admin access, which is rare.
Not since UEFI... At least it doesn't work with Windows 10 and subsequent kernels.
I can imagine you had problems because of bitlocker or something similar, but not UEFI, unless the system was locked out to only boot a certain way through config. Maybe you could test a UEFI boot with a Hiren's USB boot just for fun?

A better solution: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46899
Definitely a better option.
Ah, so it sets a unique password for local admin on every server and saves those password in the AD so people can find out what the password is?
Correct.
