@JaredBusch
the UniFi Express 7 looks pretty decent in capacity and features - and likely a contendor replacement for the UniFi Lite Router I have since my NTG days. Has that really been ten years ago now?

I will say I sort of feel that they seriously missed the mark in the design. Seems that USB-C has to be shoved into everything - but seriously - why!!??

They could have easily put the PSU into the unit and only had the AC power cable. True, the unit shouldn't need to be moved once in place. But,.. really? Get real - Just because USB--C can do so much, doesn't mean that you need to use it everywhere - especially when all you are suppling is 5v. Incorporate the whole thing and it'll be a better format.

That said,.. I'm still likely to move to something like it or this in the future.

I used this for polling printers on specific print server for printers like:

#Printer - Get devices like

$remoteComputer = "PrintServer01"
# Get printer information
$printers = $printers = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_Printer -ComputerName $remoteComputer |
Where-Object { $_.Name -match '^SITE[-_]' }

foreach ($printer in $printers) {
    $port = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_TCPIPPrinterPort -ComputerName $remoteComputer |
        Where-Object { $_.Name -eq $printer.PortName }

    [PSCustomObject]@{
        Name       = $printer.Name
        IPAddress  = $port.HostAddress
        #Model      = $printer.DriverName
        #PrintServer= $printer.ServerName
    }
}

Hey guys, in Houston for the week just hanging out. Last scheduled trip to the US. Not sure when I'll be back. Updated my driver's license, did some work in my storage unit. Back to paradise in the morning.

Hope you had a good visit - Hope things are going well for you and all your endeavors...

Working on a script to delete old profiles in Windows based on this tool
https://rsn.home.blog/2023/02/09/ad-profile-cleanup/

I've recently noticed some 'trash' user profiles on some computers. Sadly I don't have one to reference - but generally acts like it is the first signon, and creates multiples of the same profile incrementing in number. I'll see if I can't find a machine tomorrow with one - sure it won't be difficult to find one.

Here some some results that may help:

One suggestion is the Samsung tool: "Please check your drive using Samsung Magician too"

SSD 970 EVO PLUS in read-only and shop wants me to send it - what would you recommend

Suggests saving what you can and move on.

M.2 NVMe Boot SSD locked in Read-Only

If you can read it, you can recover data and move on,.. Check warranty of the drive, but depending on what is on it,.. do you (risk)warranty replacing it? I generally always get a new drive and retain the old drives, make copies and pull the drive apart (platters and magnets) and anything solid state gets the hammer fire treatment. My bench is a black hole to drives or any type of storage.

@gjacobse Purchased a Protectli device. I'll have Fedora running on it acting as a router.

That is pretty cool - (Link text show vp2420 model)

Be interested in a write up should you get the time; installed options, performance, OS and such.

Planning ahead for the inevitable day when the computer crashes on me when out in the field and I have to rebuild it.

Found how to export drivers on Windows, using [cmd] or [powershell].

So that is half of the battle.. but sometimes I will need to do the same for Linux. Yes,.. many drivers are already built into the native Linux system,.. but there are some odd cases where it is likely they are not the 'right one needed'.

And while I am looking, this is so I can come back later and find what I did to solve the matter.
