@Grey said in Windows/vmware server licensing:

@travisdh1 Does that imply that each guest needs a minimum number of cores assigned?

No, you just need to cover the cores on the host.

@IRJ Yeah I've tried openVAS in the past, it wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great.

I've ended up making some changes to my firewall and using Wazuh to report on my endpoints that are remote to our datacenter.

Which works well enough for our needs

@travisdh1 Thanks Travis. I was thinking about this last night.

I agree, I'd be better off running up a new instance of W11, installing hyper-V and running a Ubuntu VM as well as my W11 workstation so I can switch between the two.

I've played with Proxmox before, It's a good and easy product to use.

Thanks again.

I do have a “backup” but, looks like it’s a month or so old.

This is where you screwed up...

You know what they say about people and glass houses?

Hey I'm sure I'll have my own issue at some point.

lol

@dbeato said in Remove Windows 10 & Windows 11 "No Internet" Message:

@Obsolesce We have seen it on both situations and it is annoying to be honest for end users.

Yeah I can definitely imagine that being annoying. If ya can't find or fix the the network or config issue, no choice other than to disable it on all the clients.

@dafyre of course. The aliases are email addresses, as the cronjob output needs to be emailed
to a few/several recipients. The script runs fine. I have zero issues with the script. It is just
the email aliases are not expanding ( /etc/aliases) .I am puzzled as it has worked fine for literally years.

@gjacobse glad I could help

@Woti said in Fedora 39 Server as host with HAproxy and Qemu/KVM virtual machines. Trouble with communication.:

Yes, I tried bridge mode. That hadn't worked. But I found the error at least and the bridge between the host and the VMs works now. I can ping the VMs from the host and vice versa, with IP address and domain name.

However, I can only reach the VMs via their local IP address, not via the domains when using a browser.

I think you should first solve the issue why you can't reach your VMs from outside your LAN (I mean before you setup HAproxy).
I would first test, can I reach them via external IP address. (have you tried this?)
If that is OK, then test access via DynDNS domain.

So we did not have social media for a while. The world didn't end is okay to take a break from seen what other people are doing with their lives.

Annnd- the printer is already working... not that THAT is any issues...

@IThomeboy80 said in Suggestions for an IPTV player for Ubuntu:

Maybe VLC might be a good option since it plays almost al media type files.

It doesn't handle many channels

I do not know if this matters maybe you should look into an FTP that caters between Linux and Macs poossibly.

We have all APCs and they work fine in our DC. They work fine for us which include our windows and linux servers.

@dbeato yeah that is a different utility (hyper-backup specifically).

Cloud Sync doesn't actually seem to produce the report anywhere that I could find either.

Grr

Thanks for looking @dbeato

@XYjacobsson That must be AWS Route 53, that's one of the few that requires that.

System time is generally viewed as UTC Time - which I can understand for standardization.
Will have to 'adjust' my expectations.

@gjacobse said in Windows 11 Remove PIN and Only Use Password Instructions:

@scottalanmiller

I may have an account I have forgotten about
But I continue to use local only. I believe they call it an “Offline Account”

On my personal Windows laptop, I use my Microsoft account (MFA'd). It makes things all around that way more convenient for me. To avoid passwords, and because I want that separated, I use Windows Hello (fingerprint or PIN). Then BitLocker (TPM 2.0+), and of course the BitLocker Startup PIN.

On my personal Linux laptop, basically the same thing as above, but SW level encryption.
I'm looking forward to trying Ubuntu's TPM-backed Full Disk Encryption soon! I haven't had time yet.

Moving from that port which was only giving 10FDx to an unused port, gave us 1000FDx.

I'm not sure where this issue stems from..

Got it sorted out, for some reason (and I'm still working on the specifics) our ESXi hosts secondary NIC keeps falling to 10FDx (likely some misconfiguration at setup).

I've moved XO off of this nic, and performance has been fixed.

If you want to improve ESXi performance, install KVM.

Yea, that's a different conversation entirely, I do want a outside of the XCP-ng pool environment, in case something goes sideways. I'm dealing with some sunkcost conversations about it, though I am making progress.

@scottalanmiller said in New Building Considerations ...:

Build a super dedicated, fully cooled, fully wired, LARGE space with room to move about data closet on a raised floor.

I'm in the camp of a consistent temperature, regardless if it's 72 or 80 degrees, doesn't matter to me.

Everywhere I've worked aside from datacenters, has had power outages and then concerns about condensation forming on/in equipment.

More resilient power to the AC unit with a properly setup UPS to shutdown in the event of a outage seems way more important than the rest.

I don't disagree with having space to work.
