I am suprised DevOps is not listed ...

It's not actually a tech. Maybe they ruled it out.

@scottalanmiller said in The Hidden Cost of Licensing Windows Server - Activation:

Just looking at this with a customer that just put in a new Windows 2019 server. The machine was purchased with a volume license agreement for Server 2019 Standard. Everything should be super easy, in theory. Problem is, license key from the volume license center doesn't work. We spend a bit of time trying to get this to apply, but no luck.

I have run into a similar situation this morning and not being able activate the VLSC liscense.

Before I decided to call MS and getting frustrated, I was able to activate from an elevated command line.
cscript c:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <product key>

Throwing this out here in case someone comes along this post at a later time.

I've heard that that often works. We had tried that in our case and it had failed.

Just saying, why else would a creature need a magical horn on it's face besides to stab things to death.

@scottalanmiller I realise this is an old topic, but I've been fighting something similar all day. As it turns out, the implementation of PTY (and also TTY) has changed in recent versions of OpenSSH for windows. When the SSH session is built from within a script, the new OpenSSH implementation detects that the session is not setup from an interactive terminal, and therefore does not assign a PTY to the session, which results in the unability of the Get-Command command to send its output to STDOUT, hence the access denied error. Solution is (at least in the situation I am in) to use the -t (or even -tt) flag with the ssh command to set up the session

^^^ It's always hilarious when a scumbag scammer thinks their input is valuable.

Okay, we got it. Doing the switch, then the fwconsole update, then rebooting, and running through it all again... eventually it fixed itself.

I like this too, especially since I've had that graphic (the one they reference on their site) on the wall in our Lab for many years!

@scottalanmiller said in Make Simple User Passwords:

Ever need to make passwords for users and, let's face it, in the real world a lot of customers demand some pretty silly simply passwords. Using password generators often results in passwords that customers will not (and maybe cannot) use. A ridiculous situation, obviously, but it is reality. Passwords are simply difficult to often pass on to someone.

When generating temporary passwords, having something super strong is rarely very important. But avoiding something too hard to be used is needed. But just making up something non-random or even non-unique is really bad.

What's a compromise?

Yup, here is reality. Sometimes children's tools just make more sense when, well, you can draw your own conclusions.

@WrCombs said in Database Server vs File Server: What's Different:

Is it possible for a File server to run a database server ? how would that be classified at that point ?

No, conceptually that would not mean anything. A file server and a database server are discrete concepts.

A single operating system can run neither, either, or both. But as servers themselves, they are discrete.

I gotcha. It was one of those hypothetical questions

What's messy is that technical file servers are a very, very specific form of database server. Because a file server presents a file system over a network. And a file system is a special case database.

No one really thinks about this and absolutely no one will talk about file servers this way, but for understanding what is actually happening... file servers are special purpose database servers. And that is very easy to prove.

So a file server is a database server, but a database server is not a file server. But file servers are so common, unique, and discrete, we treat them as totally different animals and no one considers the two to even be similar.

Yeah, outdoor speakerphones arent a popular item.

@black3dynamite Used to have one of those in Waco and it was great.

Wow, They release Open Drive and it only works up to NextCloud 13? NextCloud 16 is in RC today. What the heck?

Yeah, that is weird. Behind the times.

My level of impressed keeps slipping.

Our go-to solution for VSS problems is to set up a dedicated snapshot volume. Otherwise we were getting timeouts and M$ does ugly things that don't make sense when VSS doesn't work properly.

@dafyre I uninstalled ITarian from the computer, it took a long time before I could uninstall the app from the phone. It is working fine now

If we look at net use, the table is clear and empty. But if we try to mount the AviMark share from the command line we get a 1219 error telling us that the share is already mounted with other credentials. So waiting for clearance to reboot, looks like the net use table is corrupted.

OK because of comments I looked more closely at the picture - I've never seen anyone do loops like that before - I guess it works though.

Looks like they had a pretty common for pots but the way they were made ive never seen that done

Agreed - hell, this could be in someone's home - just an odd one is all.

Shame on me for not cross-posting to ML this time. Sorry I dropped the ball here.

I've tried that, always seem to get stuck with the "enter a code" issue.

You are going to force me to test those instructions aren't you?

Tested what I typed above.. Works perfectly.

I also think Europeans at least have better diets than we Americans.

Not just Europeans. Basically the US and Mexico have the unhealthiest diets in the world. Everyone eats better than we do, on average (of those who have enough food.)

Also, some of the bad ingredients are simply illegal to use in food here.

Like what? you mean the pre-packaged chemicals for anti-spoilage? I'd be OK with that... though, my wife wouldn't be - she hates the grocery store, frankly I can't believe she has signed up for in home delivery of groceries or order ahead they bring to your car, groceries.

One big one off the top of my head is high fructose corn syrup

Just did a quick google search and it popped this up from livingstrong website.

"Contrary to common opinion, high fructose corn syrup isn't banned in Europe. Referred to as isoglucose or glucose-fructose syrup in this region, use of high fructose corn syrup is restricted because it's under a production quota.''

It would be nice if it was limited in the US.

I was referring to Sweden specifically, though. But there are others.
