@dashrender It is SA

I've signed up to ZohoDesk as it's free for 10uers and has some customisation seems a good system so far.

Veeam DOES recommended avoiding low end NAS devices, and recommends SAN over NAS because Veeam wants block protocols. These parts are true and we don't need to watch videos as they are available in writing from @Rick-Vanover - we even have the author of the best practices here in the community!

The keys here are "low end" which is an issue around support. The misleading bit is that NAS means server, so low end servers are every bit affected in the same ways. The QNAP, Synology, ReadyNAS and other such devices are not actually NAS but Unified Storage, SAN as much as NAS. That Veeam recommends SAN instead of NAS is a protocol choice, it does not make those devices any less applicable. We should not be calling them NAS, as that is misleading, they are equally both.

If we really look at the guidance and consider what it could mean, the only real concern is "low end" and low end is always of some concern. Why spend so much on Veeam and Windows licensing and then get cheap on the hardware? You want solid storage hardware and solid support. But nothing here is telling us that there is anything wrong at all with these kinds of devices and certainly the issue is not some kind of corruption caused by the fact that they are in this product category.

I ended up going with an upgraded script by truly using powershell.

I found the answer here -
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/936108/how-to-script-ftp-upload-and-download

Essentially this is the script:

$File = "D:\Dev\somefilename.zip"
$ftp = "ftp://username:[email protected]/pub/incoming/somefilename.zip"

"ftp url: $ftp"

$webclient = New-Object System.Net.WebClient
$uri = New-Object System.Uri($ftp)

"Uploading $File..."

$webclient.UploadFile($uri, $File)

@ambarishrh Thanks. I just sent him that link to check it out.

@jaredbusch Did they reply to your actual question?

@wrx7m said in Ubiquiti WAP Spotted at Guinness Brewery in Dublin, Ireland:

Maybe Guinness decided to give Ubiquiti free kegs...

Empty kegs I hope. . . otherwise the guys at Ubiquiti are royally hung over. . .

Wow, major changes since I last tested it!

@scottalanmiller - I can't seem to find how I would implement the Azure AD outside-in approach. I see tons of stuff on how I have already installed AADConnect and sync out.

You just... use it. There's nothing to know. Shut down AD, use Azure AD.

I think he's saying that his on-prem network would then need access to his Azure AD for user/computer authentication.

Well the users just authenticate to it. But since Azure AD comes with your hosted email, it's weird to want old on prem email to authenticate to it, too.

I will be ditching my Exchange 2010 but was wondering how it would be affected by it. So what about about the rest of the on-prem servers that are all AD domain members?

That'll be case by case. What's an example workload?

Filemaker Server, ShoreTel Server, an ERP server, File and Print servers, RDGateway/Terminal Server, vCenter, Spiceworks, PRTG, Veeam

@travisdh1 said in [Solved] NextCloud - LDAP/AD Integration: Is anyone using it?:

Good to hear. LDAP integration is on my personal list of things to test.

Yeah, I am going to test it and see how it behaves. I also need to see how to do it when deploying NextCloud on Vultr (if I can ever get a storage instance larger than 125GB; they keep selling out of them).

setenforce 0

setenforce 0 worked. Thanks, @black3dynamite !

@scottalanmiller @JaredBusch

I know my options, either Windows server acting as CA or OpenSSL in Linux, to be honest both routes was difficult to setup and requires a VM to be running at all times, to be the point I said screw it let them click the Advanced button and proceed to the site.

Cause encryption is occurring, with the self created ssl key + cert.

And our infrastructure is bit limited to be honest, so each VM has to be really needed to open one.

And the theoretical issue of 0.00001% of someone hijacking the server and do Man in the middle attack by routing to his SSL keys + cert is out of the park, if there is someone there with I.T skills I will pay him to help me.

@JaredBusch Thanks for testing it out. The only difference I see is the Mac OS (I am running Windows 8.1 and the other users are on Windows 7).

@wrx7m said in WAN Link - Fiber to Copper Changing to Fiber Only:

Do you know if you can disable config access on certain interfaces/ports on the erx?

You can restrict by firewall rules to IP.

You can leave eth2 off of switch0 and give eth2 a different IP block or restrict the IP block to something. But why? This is not a normal thing done with switches. They have config also. You still have to log in.

I was trying to figure out how to say this - JB's exactly right.

In fact you have options if you want to enable yourself to manage this remotely, not that you should probably ever need to. Set eth2 to an IP on your network, then plug that into your network, this assume you have a second cable from your switch to that room.

But really that's probably not necessary.

The Optiplex 7040 only has a 285 watt PSU so I don't know if I am going to be able to go that route. I think I might be going back to workstation territory.

There are sounds now also.

Always were, they just turned on by default now.

Oh I always got errors about it.

@wrx7m said in Joining/Binding Macs to AD Domain - Should I Bother?:

These are the graphic designers and are Mac fanatics. I would have ditched them long ago if I could have.

Yeah, who needs graphics designers anyway.

Oh, did you mean the Macs?

@Breffni-Potter Right and no one is forcing you to use the site I mentioned. I’m not sure why you are so hung up on this. I listed multiple options. I mentioned that there are many similar services to choose from. I selected one that from a security perspective appears to be doing everything right (at least as much as one can expect from this type of service).
On the other hand, you said everything was encrypted on the site you mentioned, so I asked what that meant specifically. I assumed you might know since you know the guy. So far, I've heard nothing about it.
