Exactly. Job manager is "generic": it allows you to build complex planned stuff (like shutdown those VM during the night, and create another job to start them in the morning).

It's very very generic.

Backup is a kind of specific planned job.

Look up similar specs on Ebay. And then depending on age, mark it up 10-30%.

mark it up? I would think mark it down (assuming a direct sale) because ebay and paypal eat into the sale price.

Leaves room if buyer wants to bargain. And there's always the chance that somebody will pay what you actually ask for it.
A real life example: a little over a year ago I planned to but iPad Air 2, and I wanted to sell or trade iPad 3. I put it up on Craigslist for $250, I was ready to go down to $200-$210 (I'm greedy, I know). BestBuy was giving me $181 I think. Almost every offer I got was in the $75-$150 range. The max I was able to get after negotiations was $180. I traded it in at BestBuy anyway, and got to keep the charger.

I would get 1 channel and it isn't one I would watch.

Stick 60172 in there to see my current selection. My old house was in 62234. Both had decent selection.

I would start with going through all the security groups member/member of. We ran into similar problem before where certain admins lose their administrator rights. Turn out they didn't have the rights from the beginning as the member they were given, named admin, does not contain administrators group. They got their administrator rights through another group, named audit, which was removed for reasons. It was a mess for a day.

To prevent this incident from happening again I would use GPO to give every machine within AD the rights for administrators group to gain remote access. In my environment we create a security group named remoteaccess for RDP

Reading the below stats is a bit, awkward to say the least it shows the information, but it's not entirely clear in my opinion. XenCenter seems to graph the disk usage more accurately at the Hypervisor level. (shown below is XO showing the Hypervisor level)

When you select a VM though you get something similar to below.

0_1452189500086_2016-01-07_12-58-12.png

Now I personally, don't care so much about an individual VM's disk performance, I care about the host. So for me using XenCenter provides a "better" explanation of what I'm reading.

That's pretty cool. However keep in mind that in some cases, a single VM's disk performance can be hurting performance for the other VMs as well.

Tom's Harware has a list made for SAM.

I agree. Looks like a Radion R7 360 is currently the sweet spot.

Want GTX to interface with Steam.

What does this mean? Are we talking about the driver integration that Steam does? Or is there something more?

Steam has several features that use the NVidia streaming technology that is only included in GTX model GPUs. You can use Steam without it, but not all Steam features like the Steam Link.

AMD has a separate recording app now. It might do streaming, haven't looked for that. It works with all games tho, not just Steam ones.

Does your roll out slowly still plan to be done by July 30?

Well yes and no. We will only do office machines not POS machines so the number is more like 150-200 machines 😄
But also we will only do them when we can and as many as we can lol.

@Dashrender said:

For Knowledge sake - is HALizard something akin to StarWind's vSAN module?

No, HA-Lizard has no storage component. DRBD, which is in the Linux kernel, is like the StarWinds VSAN module. HA-Lizard is a script that automates the setup of DRBD, Xen HA and other features and adds its own fencing so that you can do effective two node HA setups.

Of note,.. it seems that it is not just KeePass "one point three" or "two point three" - in each case, it's the thirtieth published incarnation of that particular version of KeePass after the "point zero" version (as commented from below).

lol. I reckon I'll have to try and do the update since it has been squealing at me for a few weeks now.

@johnhooks Ah, well I never noticed it, I'm usually working on several things at once and might have missed it.

UTM can combine these things and others into a single physical appliance or a virtual one.

I severely dislike UTM devices. I prefer things to be on their own box.

I learned this the hard way. Would never go back to a UTM now.

I didn't know you could go in whatever pattern. I always filled from 0-x

I always thought you had to do that as well.

And even though it always worked with gaps, wondered if it would cause issues.

The only problems random drive placement may cause is when replacing failed drives, by the person pulling the wrong drive..... which shouldn't be an issue, you have documentation on where each drive is, right? RIGHT?

Most alerts I get tell me which bay the drive is in. Not sure if that is the same on Dell servers?

On the server with a real RAID adapter it'll tell me, but my software based RAIDs generally aren't so nice because they don't know.

I guess if you put them in one at a time and set them up, you'd know then.

Bet you'd never guess that I've about bit myself doing this a number of times.

@Dashrender I haven't weighed it, but I'd guess ~15 to 20 lb. You can tell that things are in the vest, but you'd never guess how much or what.

Edit: Yes, requires sturdy shoulders.

Of course now I'll have to repeat this process when I get a proper backup target, as this tiny crapbox I'm built on is only for testing.

Good idea. Off by default is very bad.

Then why do they do that? =P

The CentOS 7 firewall is not off by default on a minimal install.

it's a gigabit switch.

So you say you have a Gb switch. Those speeds are pretty terrible for a Gb switch transfer, unless the workstation is only connecting to the switch at 100 Mb.

So now I suggest that you check that all connections are listing themselves as 1 Gb connections and correcting any that are not.

All connections are Gb. All cables are CAT6.

@Nic

Where does Webroot stand on this? Are they reconsidering their relationship with LastPass now that LP was purchased by LMI?

It does as far as I know, because my CrashPlan Pro at one location fails to see the NAS folder on C:\Backup after the PC reboots until I log in.

Never looked for a way around it.

Can you make the CrashPlan service log in with your credentials?

That's what I had to do when I was using EFS. (Though I believe it now supports it if installed as each user without doing the logon as service route.)

Yeah, you can do that. Just modify the service to log on as whatever user you need it to log on as. IIRC, though, they don't officially support this.
