I'm really curious to know what is running on this VDI platform that makes it needed in first place - especially for 600-1000 users.
Dollars to donuts, I bet it is ERP related or similar.
horrible it's pulling data to the local session and working locally on it - or are they doing it simply for security reasons?
I know there are other applications, under active development today, that still do this..... and is just one reason I have a nervous twitch whenever I see Microsoft Dynamics.

UPDATE...
I wanted to compare the settings between the site that is working and this site. Both sites use the Pepwave for the gateway. The only difference I've seen in the WAN settings is that this site with No Wi-Fi has LAN PASSTHROGH selected...
That's the only difference I've seen on the gateway end...
I unchecked this and have at least one AP a Dynamic and it is working...we have internet on the WiFI now.
Yep, that would do it all right. I guess someone might want that option at some point, but it would be an oddball thing to do.
What is this setting doing?
Routing all traffic through a single other device, so when the other device is not a router....

@garak0410 Try going into each AP and disabling all un-needed features. We've had a lot of trouble in the past year with meshing getting turned on after a controller update. Causes the APs to attempt routing between each other instead of the wire they're plugged into. Creates a network loop that packets never escape from.

I get what ya'll are saying but thats just not how it is here. My options are replace what is there with new, or keep what is there and let it grow older.
I'll keep looking at options on my own, but thanks folks.
If you just want to buy a solution without doing your homework to figure out what's right for the business, just get new servers and keep paying the crazy license fees for VMWare/Citrix (I'm assuming you've got the HA VMWare license.)
Without knowing what apps are running in the VDI, all we can do is generalize.
Are you stuck with VMWare and/or Citrix because of management? Big cost savings in moving away from those, even if you keep paying for support IE: Scale or Starwind
More details would be needed to make any solid recommendations.
I am more than capable of being able to appraise solutions to meet our business needs. My question was asking for a list of solutions "What would you suggest we look at?", not to be told to not look at VDI as its wrong. I'll decide that. I was hoping the community could point me to solutions, vendors, resources which you have used and had experience of. I see the people on here as experienced so wanted to ask here, I should have just looked at g2.
Well, I think @scottalanmiller already explained much better than I ever could that VDI Modernization is a contradiction in terms. If you're stuck using VDI, then you by definition are not modernizing.
As to different platforms to run it on, that's why I suggested Scale or Starwind to run the Citrix solution.
Oh come on, seriously. How on earth is that a contradiction in terms. I like this forum but some time people on it can be ridiculous with rubbish like that. You can modernize many things in a wide range of ways and saying that a 'VDI cannot be modernized' as that is not how you think something should be done is just pure rubbish.
You are running Windows Server 2008r2, and are considering migrating to Windows Server 2022!... that is not modernizing... your workload should be SaaS/Cloud! Yeah, BS. You can modernize without being SaaS/Online services.
Oh! You want to modernize and move from HDD/Spinners to NVMe... well tough luck, you cant modernize like that dumbass... your storage should be a blob in Azure.. Local storage, pfft. No way is that 'modern' anymore!
You want tomodernize your compute and use PMEM. Oh shoot! That cant be modernized as you should be using a VM in AWS. BS!
You can take outdated infrastructure and modernize it in many ways - just because ya'll believe in narrow minded dogmatic BS like 'my way is the right way' you think this is a contradiction in terms. LOL. WOW.
You can take old VDI infrastructure and modernize it. Contradiction my ass! If this is what I can expect from this forum I may as well post on Spiceworks. Gosh.
So, are you even considering basing things on Scale or Starwind as your underlying solution, or are we just ignoring half of what I say?

Waiting for Ingram/Azure account to be provisioned. Only been 1 hour now, any bets on if we have an account provisioned before 5pm today?

@travisdh1 No, backend database access isn't available to me.
Well, that's a little ****y. No db gui has given me everything I wanted to do with a database.
@dustinb3403 said in Need Regex Help:
@pete-s Thank you for the help, unfortunately it appears I'm limited to PostgresSQL regex like below or directly selecting the installed software from the list of thousands of items.
\b(?!:Microsoft|Anti-Virus)\b
I have no options for a subquery, at least that I can see at the moment.
Are you able to access the database outside of whatever tooling they provide? Being PostgreSQL, you should be able to. Get to the point where you can write your own query and go from there (you can do most anything with the data you want then.)

OpenSearch from Amazon. They took the ELK stack, made it 100% open source, and back it by Amazon. It is so good both in technical product and in licensing, that essentially it is the only game in town now.
Interesting take from ELK side
https://www.elastic.co/what-is/opensearchOur products remain free and open, but Amazon can no longer freely use Elasticsearch and Kibana products without collaborating with us. Rather than collaborate with us and contribute back, Amazon created its own forked projects, which are less mature, not ready for production use, and provide inferior capabilities compared to Elasticsearch and Kibana.
LOL - someone sounds like they are just complaining that their toy was taken.
True, but they are probably right. Amazon and other providers bastardize open source projects because the licences doesn't require them to share their changes with the open source community.
I guess I need to learn more about those licenses - I thought if you partook of those open source licenses - then made code changes and then made the code availalble outside of yourself - you had to give all new cold along with all the old - is that not so?
i.e. I fork ES - I update it with my own code - call it "ES of Mine" I publish ES of Mine - don't I have to give all of my new code away because I used ES as the base?
It depends on the exact license. There are so many ways that licenses work. I'd say Elasticsearch used the wrong license originally and threw a hissy fit about it.

But this is the thing, not all applications are designed to run on various operating systems. So you do not always have the luxury.
That's true, you have to run what works. But most of the time you can stick to one OS.
Not that we've found. Finding an environment where you are running Linux, and can avoid all variation is pretty rare, I think. So many apps only work on Ubuntu XOR CentOS. It's a mes out there.
You can say that again.
Ok, I will, just look at my home lab! Fedora, Ubuntu and Debian because things either only run or run much better on different ones.

Or the same thing from Monoprice for $2.99. https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=35793
I didn't look at shipping, so Monoprice might end up costing more.

Ugh, Quickbooks lost a months worth of data at a client. Wish me luck, I'll need it.
Well, storing financial data in a non-production database without basic production protections... seems like someone was thinking this wasn't very important data.
I've been preaching this to the other people at work.
What you've been missing is that they agree with you. They just think that the company's financial data isn't important.
You're not wrong.

Long time since I saw that one
It had a name but I have forgotten it. What was it called?
I was serious this time.
I looked it up - it was called Clippy (or officially Clippit).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_AssistantYou're too young to remember the horror of Clippy?
- Get off my lawn!
- Consider yourself lucky!
I am lucky! Not because I'm too young but because I'm too old - too old to remember every irritating thing Microsoft managed to come up with...
Clippy - how could you possibly forget about Clippy? Now - if you said you forgot about MS Bob - that I could understand.
You just had to bring up MS Bob, didn't you! I spent an evening while working as an intern for my high-school installing that **** ******* piece of **** software in an entire classroom. Nobody could figure out how to use it, even with the teacher's manual to refence.
What's even funnier - I have no clue what MS Bob is - other than quite possibly the worse piece of software MS ever put out. and I only know that by reputation.
