Optiplex 7040 Windows 10 64bit Drivers don't seem to want to inject into the boot image, and without it it won't get a network connection to deploy. Anyone else had this issue?

RE: Vmware Audit
Oh wow..
in addition to the active stuff,
We have to give them a report of any changes, upgrades, decommissions, migrations, etc over the past three years in our enviroment. It goes on to say their EULA requires you to mataining an on-going record of any and all changes in your environments, for all products not just vmware.

@DustinB3403 said in Vmware Audit:
Out of curiosity do you have a digital copy of the EULA your company signed with VMWare. I now want to read the damn thing!
It has "Vmware confidential" on the top and bottom so I can assume we are suppose to share it. I don't think ours is special it's the normal EULA..
Something of it is on here: https://www.vmware.com/download/eula/esxi50_eula.html

RE: Battery life on a Mac - How typical is my cycle count average?
@larsen161 said in Battery life on a Mac - How typical is my cycle count average?:
I've had a MacBook Pro R 15" mid-2015 since the start of Sept and looking at my batteries Cycle Count I'm already at 229. The max cycles for this machine is around 1000 according to Apple which at this rate (((229/257)*1000)/365) will give me ~2.4yrs of battery life.
Am I using this a bit too aggressively or on track with how others use their Mac?
Not surpised. 2 yrs or so is about how long batteries in laptops usually seem to have a useful life.

RE: Breaking Encrption on DVDs
@aaronstuder said in Breaking Encrption on DVDs:
We do this with our safety videos as well, but we store them on the network so there backed up and anyone can access them.
That would be illegal unless you bought a DVD for everyone who gets to them..

RE: Breaking Encrption on DVDs
@IRJ said in Breaking Encrption on DVDs:
This is a tough one. The law is confusing and chances are you won't get caught, but I agree that your best option is to check with the vendor and see what they offer an online solution. I would guess that midway through 2016 most vendors do offer a solution. If they don't offer a solution you have two options.
- Find another vendor who offers similar content in an online delivery method
- Copy the DVD to your network and you'll probably be ok.
Obviously option 1 is better.
Problem is that is repaying for it all. That could be $100,000 per site easily. These 4-30min DVDs cost any where from $500 - $3,000 a pop. Not that we wouldn't spend that but if we can copy them to a legally Laptop vs $100,000 we will do that.

Dell e7450
I'm replacing my dell e7450 laptop and dock at home, with a beefy workstation laptop... Now the question:
What can I sell the old laptop for? It's less than 1 year old, still has Next Business day Parts/Onsite repair until 2018. It was about $1,000 new
It's the core i5 5300u 2.3ghz, 8GB 256gb SSD model. Is it worth anything? ebay is all over the place (though I would be selling on Cragslist or facebook) I've seem them as high as $800 sold and as low as $200, there seems to be no common price you get out of them.. Mine also does not have the FHD screen it's 1366x768.
Maybe I should just give it away to a friend.

GPO Wmi Filtering for service
I thought I knew this one
select * from win32_service where name="ServiceName"
But that doesn't seem to work

@Jason said
You don't... Do not upgrad Domain Controllers. Replace them.
Not as easy in smaller shops that have their DC bundled in with other stuff.
But a good practice.
Why not? You can just migrate all the roles.
I would never in place upgrade a server

RE: Why is VMWare considered so often
@scottalanmiller said in Why is VMWare considered so often:
It's the "no one ever got fired for buying IBM" crowd. Which is just a cover up phrase for "hoping to not do any analysis and I know my boss doesn't know the difference so I don't care."
We let our AS/400 team go a good while back and removed it. So yes they have..

RE: Vmware Audit
@DustinB3403 said in Vmware Audit:
How is this audit going? I believe you have 2 days left if I recall correctly from this conversation.
We don't know.. Audit's don't work like that you don't get updates/progress reports. You send the information then wait for months to hear back..

RE: Why is VMWare considered so often
@Carnival-Boy said in Why is VMWare considered so often:
I love ESXi Free. And I believe you can backup VMs now using Unitrends Free (albeit with the need to install agents on the VM). So for a single host with 2 VMs (as per the SW link), I'd use ESXi.
So there you go. I don't care about brands and my boss is never going to sack me, I just really love ESXi. Feel free to slate me here!
ESXi free is pointless. Why would you even consider it? You're crippling yourself for no reason.

Sharepoint 3.0
We have an old sharepoint 3.0 server farm at a company we bought out. I know very little about it. TimerJobs on it aren't running right and we need them to run, cleaned the timejob cache and still it doesn't work.
We aren't going to upgrade it as it's going to be phased out soon. But need this working for now. Anyone know anything about timerjobs not running, the service they run as is running fine.

RE: pfSense slow site-to-site VPN
@IT-ADMIN said in pfSense slow site-to-site VPN:
before continue reading your issue, i want to tell you that pfsense will not play well in virtual environment, in their official website too many people complaining about slow connection when installing pfsense in virtual environment,
That used to be the case, newest versions are fine.

RE: pfSense slow site-to-site VPN
Why Open VPN for site to Site over IPSEC? OpenVPN is normally much slower..
OpenVPN was more made for easy configuration.
