Wasn't there noise about some products being discontinued in the not too distant future? CPU / architecture changes or something of the sort if I remember correctly.

Relaxing with some Christmas tunes and the munchkins while the SO is getting groceries and the roofers are hopefully on their last day. New roof isn't exactly the Christmas present I was hoping for :exploding_head:

dban is great.

If you can destroy the drive it's even better. Something like a drill press, hydraulic press or a heavy gauge press brake will work wonders

Yeah, our initial round of customizations when rolling out W10 included stripping out the store and ended up having to rebuild the image and re-format a whole deployment of 50 or more laptops.

Unless things have changed or my google-foo wasn't up to the task you're SOL on re-integrating the store if they really stripped it out like I had done.... You might be able to get it back with an in-place upgrade or repair if needed.

... Just saw that someone else has responsibility for their IT... tell them to talk to their IT and wash your hands of it. If policy is that the store is verboten (regardless or right, wrong or other reason) then you're only stepping on someone else's toes.

Workaround would be to install free replacement apps, but again, if you're in someone else's space it's best to let them manage their environment.

Is it legal to stream music, anywhere in the office. Or large scale companies?

Jurisdiction is probably going to come into play here... you've got some kind of link referencing India as a comma in the question so ???? .....

Huh?

What's legal, especially with regards to copyright varies from country to country. The question, for whatever reason has a link to https://beebom.com/best-music-streaming-service-india/ against a comma. Not sure if it's intentional but since it's there, it bears clarification at the very least, no?

Chilling with the fam. Kids are watching the "Nut Job" cartoon on Netflix with hot chocolate and popcorn, SO is trying another cooking experiment... something to do with sweet potatoes..... wish me luck :crazy_face:

Spun up a Zabbix 5.2 server on Monday and am in the process of moving our NagiosXI monitoring over. Losing our grandfathered pricing combined with something going sideways with the XI to core interface (can't create or update objects, can delete just fine) means that nagios is "buh-bye".

To reinforce @DustinB3403's point, I don't know how much training might be needed. The documentation is decent from what I've seen and google has been able to point me in the right direction for anything else.

Cheers!

another vote for iperf3
even better 'cause it's available via chocolatey

Syncthing on the reports directory?

So to sort-of come back around to the initial question, it's also going to depend on your position on N+1. Is it a nice to have or a must have? We're technically running our main VDI workload on HCI but if I'm not mistaken are commited beyond the N+1 threshhold. For our case it's not the end of the world, just means that if we lose a node there are some people who won't be able to work until we can either get the node back up or move on to some older gear. If you're running mission critical servers on HCI then I'd say of course that 2 is a minimum but that could depend on how the solution is engineered. I haven't looked into the various options but I could see a 3 node minimum requirement to satisfy quorum needs or avoid a split-brain scenario where the solution tries to spin up the VMs on the spare node when they haven't really gone down, just a communication glitch....

So like most things, the real answer is "It depends"

@travisdh1
++ XO also exposes and simplifies a lot of functionality that would otherwise require mucking around in the xen CLI

Just because it's what I know, and am reasonably confident will work:

Hypervisor : XCP-ng (OK, so I know Citrix XenServer, but from what I've seen it's more or less the same)
backup/restore: Veeam agent for Windows (free will do what you need)

Not sure how legit licensing will be, I'd have to guess that it's going to depend on the actual licenses and specific versions of server that you're dealing with.

@scottalanmiller

Yeah... just did the whole IT Crowd turn it off and turn it back on routine and now it's working again.... going to email their support to see about re-instating the article

I had the router doing my nordvpn connection and only routing a specific block of my network out the vpn with eveyone else using the ISP's regular access and routing. Strange thing is that I've always (well, just got the ER-X a month or two ago) had it setup with Nord's long service credentials and it was working perfectly fine....

Anyone else?

Can you setup an SMB share on the same server to test SMB throughput and rule out problems with the W10 machine vs problems with NFS on the W10 machine? Just thinking to cover all of your bases.

We're evaluating a switch from Meraki to Ubiquity and want to keep the AD user-based sign-on for employee devices (phones, tablets etc).

With Meraki it's dum-dum simple, no special attribs to send back or anything since the VLAN is assigned by the network config on their portal.

I think I've got the basics sorted, but does anyone have a good reference for doing this with Windows NPS before I start trying to re-invent the wheel?

Related question: Anyone have any thoughts on the merits of Ubiquity vs Cambium Networks? They were suggested as another player to consider but I'd never heard of them before.

*** Clarification ***
Radius is working for corporate devices using WPA2 Enterprise / Certificate based access. It was just a matter of adding the AP as an authorized RADIUS client and the existing setup worked.

Things don't jive when I try to have the hotspot portal authenticate against AD users via NPS / RADIUS. I've got it working with other scenarios (vpn authorization via our security appliances being the main one).

The guide that I found (http://www.sysadminlab.net/certificate_and_ca/configure-ubiquiti-wireless-ap-to-authenticate-users-using-ad-usernamepassword) has had some of it's most relevant screenshots eaten by the monsters of the interwebs.

On the NPS side of things I'm seeing connection attempts coming from the server IP for the unifi controller (and not the AP as the guide would have me expect). I see the logic in the request coming from the controller, and have added it as an authorized client, but can't get any farther than the following error:

An Access-Request message was received from RADIUS client X.X.X.X with a Message-Authenticator attribute that is not valid. 

There's a post on the ubnt forums (https://community.ui.com/questions/802-1x-Message-Authenticator-attribute-that-is-not-valid/4fa44f43-483b-4c75-8e99-e42dc6d41aaa) but their only suggestions are with regards to ensuring that the shared secret is the same on both ends, and unless I've completely forgotten how to copy/paste, I've done everything reasonably possible there.

@JaredBusch Might take another look then... My FTTH comes in as a tagged VLAN and it wouldn't pick up a dhcp lease on v2, even after a few reboots but once I downgraded to v1 it picked up the lease from the ISP right away.

1. Download the current firmware to your laptop.
   https://dl.ui.com/firmwares/edgemax/v2.0.8-hotfix.1/ER-e50.v2.0.8-hotfix.1.5278088.tar

Just got one for home last week and I had to downgrade to the v1 firmware to get VLAN tagging to work, just a heads up. It might work on the v2 firmware but I didn't have the time, patience or inclination to arse around with it more than necessary. No more ISP gear in the home network except for the SFP that I had to move from their CPE to the ERX-SFP.
