solar panel sizing and sourcing

@scottalanmiller well, congratulations. What's the name of the hotel? Is it 'street view-able'?

@scottalanmiller you bought a hotel! Most people just buy a caravan.

live migrating VM from hyper-v 1 to hyperv-2 in my sloppy casual attire as it's saturday morning.
morning all.

was looking at 'net' commands. just remembered the first time I ran into a net command was on a Lan Manager network, can't remember what version.

Gee that's going back a bit.

thanks everyone for the help, it is greatly appreciated.

and isn't Mesh Central bloody great.

@black3dynamite you sir, are a dead set legend.

I thank you a thousand times.

@scottalanmiller Ah yes. Just got onto the console with Mesh Central.

Still don't have an account to log in with though.

So I renamed a server & joined it to Active Directory using the name of a server already in AD.

This had the effect of removing/hiding the original server, which has just sat their doing its thing while this went on.

Now however I can't log into it with a domain account (I can't remember any local login accounts).

I re-created the original server account in AD via ADUC and can see that the servers object USN lists an original and a current USN, so I'm assuming AD remembers the object and has updated it.

I can't log into the server to reboot it, so have waited longer than an hour and still cannot log into it with a domain account (think you have to wait 51 minutes for AD updates / resyncs).

This server is remote, up high, heavy and headless, so I'd really like to fix this remotely.

Thanks for any help.

on hold with net support.

got in late this morning, sequence of events:

1 - slept in
2 - always totally undo shoes so i can slip 'em on easily next day, didn't do that last night
3 - couldn't find car keys
4 - had to move things i was taking to work into car 2
5 - car 2 low of fuel
6 - thick fog
7 - stuck behind 2 log trucks, no way to get past

just gave up and cruised in 30 minutes late.

@eddiejennings nope you're not. I often start typing a question and the problem becomes clearer as I type & I end up solving the mystery myself.

It's a very useful thing to do, while typing you're focusing on the problem more than just thinking about it.

got asked if I could get some data off a 3.5" floppy yesterday.

thought about it and thought, if it's on a 3.5" floppy then the info can't be too important, otherwise it would have already been transferred onto something else. Also thought, if the data is only on that then there's a very good chance the data isn't what they think it is.

Sorry, can't help.

@travisdh1 if travelling time isn't billable, charge them for fuel.
We used to charge 75c / Km.

anyone know of any print servers that can convert usb printers to ethernet?

I can only find a TP Link model down here. Think I used to use a DLink model but don't seem to make 'em any more.

chillin' to Hendrix.
