IT doesn't cease to exist because you are not at work!

Or, when I'm at home or out with the family, it's just way too easy to check your notifications or unread posts on your cell phone. Literally takes only as long as it does to unlock phone, open browser, refresh page... 5-10 seconds?

I like to keep up with things, and my profession, learning in the process. ML tracking helps with that. I read all threads. Just because I don't reply to most of them doesn't mean im not reading and learning through them. I'm sure I speak for others as well!

@scottalanmiller said in Basic Linux Interview questions from ML:

Putty is just a Windows tool for connecting to SSH. Linux will have questions about working from the command line, but I would not expect questions about a purely Windows connection tool.

I've used Putty for Telnet. But I use it even more for Serial connections for initial setups of switches.

But yeah, main usage is SSH in Windows.

On the DC, can't you request another one from your CA via certlm.msc?

Looks like Monoprice has a few options:

I may have been getting interested in something like this myself the past few weeks. I don't know, glad I came across this thread. Gonna bookmark it for possible future needs.

Have you had a chance to replace the certificate yet?

This isn't a topic of being forced to learn on my own time or not. This was a question of why do people choose Veeam over spx...

What is the price difference? Until the agents are completely out there. SPC offers the ability to backup physical or virtual servers. Veeam was (centrally) virtual only.

Was, but they've had the decentalized agents out for a bit just prepping them for addition to the central control.

The new Veeam Windows and Linux agents are separate products and licensing. They are new and in beta. I would never put a production environment on beta backup software. It's too new. Id rather go with a vendor who's already both physical and virtual in the same product naturally, if you know what I mean

@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.

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

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.

@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?

@Tim_G said in Interesting article on Linux and Microsoft:

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!

@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. ^_^
