@NashBrydges said in MeshCentral2 Failed To Renew SSL Cert:

Failed to obtain certificate: Error finalizing order :: signature algorithm not supported

One final update. After more searching, I found this that referenced the actual error I was seeing about algorithm not supported.

https://github.com/Ylianst/MeshCentral/issues/4676

After upgrading from v1.0 to v1.1 and rebooting, the cert automatically renewed and issue was resolved!

@dbeato said in Todays' replacement for Teamviewer:

@scottalanmiller You can use Splashtop which is great.

I second Splashtop. While not free, $5 a month won't break the piggy bank, and it works dang good.

@Lakshmana I don't understand the details here.

@Pete-S said in Do international TLD's have restrictions?:

@dimforest

For the .it TLD.

Who can register a .it domain?

"An unlimited numbers of .it domain names can be registered by anyone who is an adult and has citizenship, residence or commercial headquarters in the countries of the European Economic Area (EEA), in the State of the Vatican, in the Republic of San Marino and the Swiss Confederation."

Source, the Italian NIC
https://www.nic.it/en/find-your-it/how-register

Every country has their own NIC for their own TLD. Only some countries allow third parties to register, very few. More allow a citizen to register on behalf of a third party. Many don't allow that at all.

Italy requires a citizen to register on behalf of a third party (I'm a citizen, but it's a pay so use someone in country anyway). Colombia (that NTG uses) is open for anyone, that only opened up to the global public around 2010 and we got ntg.co literally in the first 15 minutes it was open having lost the lotto for niagara.co

Good way to make me not care about answering you.

so along these lines, does there exist any cloud (SAAS really) solution provide a, from box open, ability for central user authentication?

I'm guessing not.
With Windows we have AutoPilot that can have a OOBE that directly attaches it to Azure AD.

But for Mac, Linux OSes, maybe chrome OS, you'd have to have an admin setup the device first, likely add software/agent, then those devices could use Azure AD.

Of course Google has their own solution for Chrome OS, though I have no idea if they have agents for Windows/mac/Linux OSes to do the same?

@scottalanmiller said in Check_MK Monitoring tool:

@Lakshmana sorry, never used that tool.

Whether the Zabbix have that feature to send the slack notification ?

@JasGot said in How do some of these engineers get to where they are?:

@Carnival-Boy But if they have 100Mb now and it works fine, how will 100Mb be slow and choppy with a faster ISP?

That can actually happen. If you overdrive the router, packets arrive but dont get processed efficiently. Then it starts dropping things.

@DustinB3403 depending on what you want, you can also:

$app = Get-ChildItem -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall' | Get-ItemProperty | Where-Object -Property DisplayName -EQ "Microsoft Edge" $installDate = $app.InstallDate

@dafyre said in Who's making the move to vSphere 8:

We are. Currently, my day job is heavily invested in the VMware ecosystem, and there's no likelihood that will change any time soon... So we are already at the point of testing it, though that probably wont' happen until after the New Year.

I haven’t looked at the vmware hcl, but I heard a lot of hardware is no longer supported. I also read that vmware no longer recommends booting from sd cards.

That's all correct. Part of the point of VMware (and to their credit) is to dramatically limit you to a small pool of high quality, well tested hardware. That's partially how they maintain stability.

KVM has a small pool of hardware smart to use. But "supports" almost anything. It's handy to know it will always work, but sucks because people deploy it on crap all of the time.

@dafyre said in 1 large disk or 2 smaller disks for a file server?:

We just built a new Samba file server here

Question, what authentication method are you using? I'm debating this at a client now.

I think it's TDBSAM (passdb backend in the samab config file). It's AD Joined though, so it may be something else.

Thanks, seen this a few times recently.

@Dashrender said in Data Erasure Software?:

We have a local facility that will shred drives for $5.

Same here. They are coming next week to remove some old, Dinosaur age storage boxes... which have MANY drives in each. Worth it every time.

@JasGot said in Hard disk encryption without OS access?:

Just shut down the VM and make a backup of the Virtual Disk holding the VM?

Exactly, no matter what here, until you can get access not ONLY to the OS but also to the application, that's your only option.

@Yonah-S said in Turn server into backup storage for remote servers?:

@Pete-S have you thought of selling it? there is a big market right now for getting rid of old/unused hardware. Especially if you have any SSD's in there.

Thanks, but we're keeping it. Just want to extract the maximum value out of it while it's occupying rack space 🙂

Get-Service -ComputerName pc1, pc2 SERVICE | Select name, MachineName, Status

Where did you get the -ComputerName syntax from?

I can't find anything like that from the manual: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-service?view=powershell-7.2

OK, it's been deprecated. It's available in older versions of powershell, up to 5.1.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/get-service?view=powershell-5.1

I read somewhere it doesn't use powershell remoting but dcom instead. And that's why it became obsolete.

Maybe you haven't got the right dcom privileges to run it remotely.

Say what now? I'm reading this:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/samples/managing-services?view=powershell-7.2

I'd put one script on each remote computer and have it send an email whenever the service stops. Or check whatever it is you really want to know with the service.

Sadly, we already monitor the service. I can be 'running' but fail and need to be stop/started. We've also already done the scheduled task route where it checked it ever 15 min and stop/started it. But there are still times it needs to be manually stop/started. And this is 10x better then what they were doing when I started last year....

OK, so the script is part of something you actually use to restart it when you decide to?

Yes - while I would like to solve it with PS,.. my batch script works fine. I just figured with all that I am / have been doing with PS,.. why not convert it to PS and go one.

Now - if there is another way to accomplish this - I'm open to learning. It's what I'm applying with PS - learning.
