@aaronstuder said in Ubiquiti classes?:

They look costly for stuff you could likely learn on Youtube....

There was a time when I would have agreed 100%. Now it seems the only way I would cram in 16 hours of learning would be to head off site some where with my phone forwarded to voicemail...

I've actually been dealing with this conversation myself lately. "I work hard, I should be able to have XYZ, it's not fair".
And while you can have XYZ, you also have to pay for it. What do you want more, money in your pocket or XYZ. . .

Forget chasing that. More money does not lead to happiness. Look at any study done on lotto winners.

I set up a new Server 2012R2 Remote Desktop Server and when the users press the power button, the only option is "Disconnect". I want to set it to "Sign out". (Which is currently available when the click their name.)

I changed the setting in group policy, but it seems to be ignored.

I though maybe the group policy .admx needed to be updated to support Server 2012R2, so I downloaded the Windows 10 policy and tried that. I didn't see any difference.

Any ideas?

I have a Meraki MX90 behind a Ubnt EdgeRouter. The Meraki has a public IP on the WAN side so I figured the EdgeRouter didn't have NAT turned on. How ever when I go to NAT, I have the default "masquerade to eth0" rule. (eth0 is my WAN port)

show nat rules

returns the default

MASQ eth0 saddr ANY to xx.213.214.137

rule. Any ideas as to how traffic can be getting through un-NATed? What else should I be looking for?

I have a client that refuses to use online backup. The only thing I could think of at the time to get an offsite backup was a tape backup. Long story short, I'm on my 5th tape drive (under warranty) and I'm really starting to wonder if it's a bad model of tape drive (HP DAT 160) , bad backup software (Barracuda Yosemite Server Basic), or the fact that I'm using USB passthrough in ESXi.

The backup job is backing up about 50GB of data each night. That would fit on a USB drive. Is anyone doing a backup to USB flash drive? Any other alternatives to tape that I'm not thinking of?

The blue screen only triggers when the user clicks on the ad right?

Thanks for the link. Hopefully since I submitted screen shots with full URLs they can do something.

It's purely security. It doesn't help my argument when things keep getting hacked.

I always thought it was weird that tracert was the dos command and traceroute was the linux command. Almost every other linux command is shorter.

I have 3 VMs to move from one Hyper V host to a new Hyper V host. Has anyone had much luck with live migrations, or should I go straight to export/import?

I have a new Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 install. It has 2 integrated NICs and 4 NICs on a separate card. There are currently 4 VMs on the host and more will probably be added. The network switches are just a basic Linksys and will probably be replaced soon.

Does it make any sense to set up NIC teaming on the host? This is more of a case of how to best set up the hardware in hand than what hardware is needed for the load. In all honesty I can't see any one VM using more than 1Gb/s, so there isn't a real performance goal.

Check your port forwarding rules on your WRTG54GL to make sure they forward to the new address.

I have a site to site tunnel between to Ubiquiti EdgeRouters. The tunnel shows that it's up, but I can't ping stuff on the other side. I added interface routes. My tracerts hit the internal interface of the local ER and then die. What else should I check?

I just noticed I don't have NAT hairpin enable on my internal interface. I can't seem to get the syntax right to try that.

That's what I thought, and I have: (the local side is 192.168.1.254/24 and the far side is 192.168.2.253/23)
protocols {
static {
interface-route 192.168.2.0/23 {
next-hop-interface vtun0 {
description "route to other side"
distance 1
}
}
}
}

I agree. My first reaction was like EdgeRouter Lites are under $100, just go pick one up for each branch and be done with it. I thought I would post lest someone say, "all you have to do it click the advanced tab" or something.

I have a remote office that used to have a local internet connection and a site to site MetroE link. The local internet is going away. For guest wireless access, I set up a separate VLAN and created a SSID for guest internet on that VLAN. The SonicWall sent all that traffic straight out to the internet.

Now that I'm removing the local internet, I have to decide if I should keep the VLAN and try to trunk that across the MetroE circuit, or just turn Ubiquiti's guest mode, put them back in the default VLAN and call it a day. What do you think? I realize it's probably more secure with the VLAN, but it's also more confusing for other admins.

I wouldn't threaten to delete documentation. It doesn't cost you anything to hang on to. You can always charge for the last invoice + interest and then start a retainer...

Thanks for the help. It looks like the website guy is using Wix and it has a plug in for dropbox, so it made it dead simple to implement.

I just added a user to a Office 365 Plan E1 non for profit and it changed all my users to E2. What is E2? I can't even find E2 on their website.

Some of you have a point. I probably should have said "more secure than sending them across the internet unencrypted." Dropbox is using SSL and AES and has a security team monitoring everything. If there is a breach, they have a lot to lose as a company. If I stood up my own server, I wouldn't have those kinds or resources, so I think it is more secure than something I could put together myself. As @JaredBusch said, DropBox is about as secure as your password.
