@hobbit666 technically this could be incorrect for a portion of the world.
People who are clinically dead, but become resuscitated, live every day and will die at least twice!
But you gotta remember, there's many subtle levels of dead.
I have a buddy that runs his own shop in a small town.
Pretty much all he ever does is recover files or virus removal.
He charges a flat rate of $85.
He honestly doesn't care about making money as long as he pays his bills.
He gets a machine in and tells the person he will have it done in 2-3 days.

I have a few choices:
Florida man shot dead over parking space (shooter not arrested, 'stand your ground' law cited)
Teens film and laugh as Florida man drowns
Florida man live streams police chasing him on the beach
that second oneFlorida is messed up
FTFY
Titles in IT are generally made up.
They mean different things to different companies.

just got finished with a meeting.
apparently they are going to push back my review until June now, because of what happened the other night.
And I just bought a smart watch to make sure I wake up for the calls if/when they come in over night.
Hoping it'll help.
Just GTFO as soon as you can. I think I said this before about something else you posted.
I dunno about best practice, but here is what I do.
I use an individual conf file per domain in/etc/nginx/conf.d/
Then with Let's Encrypt I run it with the standalone and cert only switches. I also use the pre and post hook options to stop and start nginx.
I run LE twice. Once for personal domains and once for work domains just to keep the SAN clean on the certs.
I can post some samples tomorrow if I see this thread again and remember.
That said, most consumers would just click on anything put out by the person/company they are following.
First goal achieved, weigh in at less than 100kg.
New checkpoint unlocked, weigh in under 100kg for 2 weeks.
New goal unlocked, weigh in under 90kg.
@guyinpv said in Small office phone setup, looking for improvements...:
- Reduce our long distance costs.
Requirement: Champagne taste on a beer budget. Unreliable internet access, Avaya RJ-11 phones. Rental building, we can't necessarily redo their entire phone infrastructure in any permanent way.
You don't reduce costs by staying on POTS. That is not possible. That is where the cost comes from.
You need to look at new internet service that is reliable. Even if it costs triple what you pay now, you will likely come in cheaper once you move off of POTS.
As for the phones, well if it is all RJ11 digital Avaya phones, you are screwed. You cannot reuse any of that. You can buy new phones and put them in-line with your desktops to avoid wiring costs, but that there is no reuse of phones.

Just checked in and I'm dying laughing!
I do hope we answered all your major questions before the thread hit the shitter.
The best thing is to run a full Linux desktop that makes every point and click the same as windows.
The point is to make the day to day tasks transparent in the change.
Not something most users would ever care about, but I find this new tweak to the updates windows useful.
Made a new pull request to their dev branch and it is already merged in.
So next time they push to master it will officially support Fedora.

Trying to convince my boss that MangoCon is a good thing.
I'll be discussing the new 911 requirements and how it will affect your company by next year.
@tim_g said in Do You Need Two AD Domain Controllers? SAMIT Video:
In most SMBs, your AD server is the AD, DHCP, DNS, Print, and maybe a file server.
This whole single AD server can really only make sense if we are just talking about AD.
Once we start mixing in all infrastructure services, then this is where you take into consideration where Scott says case by case basis... completely depends on your environment and setup.
Common sense will come in to play.
Actually, the adding in of all of those resources does nothing to mean you need another server.
None of those extra services are natively simple to setup in an HA way.
The best thing to do is to have the single server virtualized and quick to restore from backup.
This is a disaster and needs updated from what you learned today in your other thread.
But beyond that, you talk about putting the connections to the router. This is wrong. A router routes traffic. it is not a switch.
You still require a switch.
You put multiple NICS in a team and plug those into the switch. If the switch supports full LACP then you can get awesome performance, if not, switch independent mode is the best solution.
You install Hyper-V Server 2016 on all three boxes.
On all Servers:
Create 1 partition for the Hyper-V Server drive C (I use 80GB, but I think the technical minimum is 32GB)
Create 1 partition from the rest of the space to mount as drive D inside Hyper-V
This D drive is where all of the guest files will be stored. Config files as well as replicas, checkpoints (snapshots), and the virtual hard disks.
On Server 2, restore all your current servers as new VMs
On Server 1, create a small VHDX to install Windows and run Veeam.
On Server 1 create a large VHDX to house the backups. This will bethe D drive inside the Veeam guest.
On Server 3, setup a test environment or sell the hardware. You could use Hyper-V replication, but you need SA on the original guest VMs or full licenses for the replicas.
