    • RE: Is there any Mobile App for this community ?

      @JaredBusch said in Is there any Mobile App for this community ?:

      @Tim_G I do not generally have that problem as well only "one piece of a post and then make a new post with a different quote

      That works, but more often than not, I'd rather have multiple quotes in a single post to process them that way instead. My mind works a little better that way rather than resetting it for each post.

      My only issue with the web app here is that I can't view the thread while writing a reply. Im on mobile right now, and if I wanted to quote something, I couldn't unless I discarded what im typing now and start over.

      That sounds like a browser issue. I feel like that works for me, but now you have me wondering. What browser are you using?

      I don't have an issue quoting as you can see above this text. But now if I want to view previous posts and add another quote, I can't. Or highlight some text to quote, same thing, I can't because I'm limited only to this editor... Only an option to post or discard.

      I'm using Edge on my mobile phone.

      But his work needs him to learn

      Yes, that was the original point in the question.

      @Dashrender you are using the example of someone not wanting to work while not paid to compare to an unrelated conversation where someone didn't want to do their job while on the clock.

      yes and no - I was more wondering if you consider it an IT person's job to learn regardless of being paid or not.

      Let's assume Dustin is personally trying to learn about MariaDB. But his work needs him to learn about SPX. Should he spend that free time that he wanted to spend on MariaDB instead on SPX? or is it his company's job to give him the time to learn on their dime?

      Unless the company is paying you, its illegal to work. Learning something for your job is working.

      That would imply that college is illegal unless you are paid. Learning is for you, not your job. But it is also at your discretion.

      CompanyA says to Employee1: "We just got this new software. I need you to learn it at home so you can manage it at work. Do it on your free time, unpaid. If you don't learn it, you can't help us, therefore we will find a replacement."

      That is how I took it.

      Now, I don't have a degree in corporate law, so this is just an assumption that would be illegal. So if anyone does specialize in this that can say so for sure, I would like to know now out of curiosity.

      Right but that's not how you said it initially.

      Nothing in that statement implies the boss is making Dustin learn on his own time.

      I was really trying to see if Scott thinks that Dustin should be learning something not work related vs something definitely helpful now - in the end it doesn't matter, It was only a question.

      I see what you mean.

      I would think whatever is best for your career, whether that's for your current company or not I think depends on the circumstances.

      Wow - there are so many pitfalls to that thinking.

      But learning something on your own for your job is definitely not the same as working - if you bosses demand you spend your non paid time to learn something, that would be illegal/working.

      Right but that's not how you said it initially.

    • RE: Certificate Authority Quagmire

      @Grey said in Certificate Authority Quagmire:

      @Tim_G said in Certificate Authority Quagmire:

      I used a procedure similar to the one in the URL you linked, in a production environment. The case I used it in was to completely remove a PKI and create a new one. I know a little different than in your case, but as long as you do not delete anything you need you will be fine.

      I have two questions to ask that will determine whether or not I can help you:

      1. What command did you use to get that output in PS?

      2. For what purposes are you using your PKI?

      ... and because I can't count
      3. Is it the subject name of the certificate that is not correct? Not sure I understand what you are referring to.

      • Certutil. Use it on any windows system that's connected to your domain.
      • Internal validation, especially on VDI and internal web servers.
      • Yes.

      You can't change the name on the certificate. You will need to request a new one from your DC which you can do via certlm.msc.

      How did the DC get a certificate with an incorrect name in the first place?

      Microsoft officially calls it "Ubuntu on Windows", not Linux on Windows.

      Thought I'd throw that out there.

      Yes. They are actually pretty good about that. Although one has to ask what Ubuntu means because until MS started saying it Ubuntu was a Linux based OS. Now it's not so what is it? It's good that they don't call it Linux. But calling it Ubuntu is misleading too as it isn't the thing known as Ubuntu anywhere else.

      Yeah well, it is Microsoft. They don't have the best reputation with naming things. But I already know I don't need to tell you that!

    • RE: How Do You Mount a VHDX in CentOS 7

      @DustinB3403 said in How Do You Mount a VHDX in CentOS 7:

      @Tim_G oh I know, and don't take it the wrong way.

      But with the information provided I thought it was a pretty straightforward question.

      "What tool is needed to mount VHDX inside of CentOS?" is how I read it.

      I read it exactly that way too. And since there were a few leads already, I thought perhaps if those don't pan out, I'd provide a possible different approach. Even if those assumptions don't apply, it could be helpful in another aspect to someone reading the post if maybe someone is in a similar situation that actually does have Hyper-V or a way to present a VHDX as an iSCSI device.

      I suppose that in the future, I will stick to the questions word for word and never provide anything further than that. But then I expect that from everyone else as well.

      @Tim_G said in How Do You Mount a VHDX in CentOS 7:

      If you want to mount a .VHDX file on CentOS, and it's a VM, why not attach it to the VM itself and then mount it as a volume within CentOS?

      Not a VM, just an image.

      I mean if the CentOS 7 server is a VM on Hyper-V, you could mount the .VHDX to the VM and it would be presented to CentOS as a regular drive.

      That is a bit of an odd assumption, right?

      It is quite a reach... but there is a lack of background info. CentOS was mentioned, as well as VHDX. We know there's a CentOS server. We know Windows is somewhere, or there wouldn't be a VHDX. SAM is a proxy in this case, may have been just asked quick without he himself knowing the environment... could have been one of those "quick questions". Who knows.

      Figured I'd throw out some kind of assumption with a possible solution if that's the case. ^_^

      What is "loopback mount"?

      If you want to mount a .VHDX file on CentOS, and it's a VM, why not attach it to the VM itself and then mount it as a volume within CentOS? Unless it's a physical machine.

      You could also mount a .VHDX file as an iSCSI device if there's an available Windows Server to install the iSCSI target role on I believe. Could present the .VHDX that way. I haven't tried it, but I think it's definitely worth a go.

      Of course, this all depends on what "loopback mount" means. I'm just assuming mounting a .vhdx on CentOS.

    • RE: Hyper V replica VS Veeam B&R Replica.

      @Dashrender said in Hyper V replica VS Veeam B&R Replica.:

      We are not 24/7 shop, so taking the system down after hours to do maintenance doesn't count against our five 9's of uptime.

      That's a good point.

      When five nines really matter is during production hours... when end users and the business will be negatively impacted. If this is a web hosting company, then five nines matter 24/7. For a typical SMB, fine nines may only mean all services are 100% uptime for only half the day, leaving you with the other half for maintenance and other things.

      @scottalanmiller said in Interesting article on Linux and Microsoft:

      Used to be called SFU 3.5 before they retired it to revamp it because it had aged so badly.

      Linux on Windows would require a hypervisor layer as the Linux kernel needs to see a computer appears to run and Windows can't provide that currently (Linux can, however.) So nothing that sounds like Linux on Windows will ever be that until Windows addresses that kernel shortcoming, but even if they do, it's just a VM.

      I had been under the impression that Client Hyper-V in Windows 10 is a "Type 1" hypervisor, granting VMs direct access to the hypervisor, bypassing the host OS.

      I found it!: http://www.runasradio.com/Shows/Show/480

      Took me awhile because it was so long since I heard it.

      To get the proper context of the whole thing, you can start at 11 minutes in, and listen from there. It really doesn't start until about 17, but you need the extra 6 to really get it.

      @scottalanmiller have you heard this?

      Yeah, that's right... technically the host OS is a VM when Hyper-V is enabled.

      There's a very good podcast that explains this. It's from RunAs Radio... I'll see if I can find the specific one I'm talking about.
