Upgrading Nextcloud to current stable.
I'm running all those workloads on Docker. Makes life so much easier. No more per-application handling.
Yeah, not going to happen.
Last time I looked, wasn't the docker container of NC community sourced?
f964b9c86514 nextcloud:latest
yep, that link points to the Docker Hub page I've linked above. Snap... well, I don't like them, but that's personal preference.

I don't?Every Job Posting I've seen requires some knowledge of AD.
Yes, like how to attach a desktop or change a password. Takes seconds to learn. You've already done those things. Learning to deploy it isn't a bad thing to know, but not a priority. No one is ever going to hire you to set up a new AD system, just to do basic maintenance of an old one. You literally can learn that stuff in an evening. So put in your one evening and move on.
I did that already. Only thing I gotta figure out is how to add a Computer/device to the domain
- Control Panel
- Deployment Script
- PowerShell
Add-Computer –Domainname my.domain.tld -restart - ...
BTW @WrCombs: If you want to learn something really useful, learn PowerShell. Scripting helps you to automate repetitive and error prone tasks like user creation, group assignments and so on. You could build a script to assign users to groups. That script could also inform users and managers about new assignments by mail. That's what I do with our research assistants and students, for example.

Along these lines, having a script to remove a person from security and distribution groups makes like easy as can be when you get a termination notice 5 days after the fact. . .

Forget about books. They are old when they hit the shelves. I think I own about... erm... maybe 15 IT books? Most of them are 15-20 years old, some are about programming languages, two are about SharePoint installation and administration.
Essentially everything you need can be found online.

Like... workload slowed down? Or the computers are dying?

It's more easier to get into using PowerShell if you start out with a task that you do often. And then search online showing examples on how to implement those tasks via PowerShell.

Yeah, there is maybe 5 minutes of PS basics you should read about. Like how it is object based, what are commandlets, etc. Then, dive in. Sure, read more, but not first. Start with... actually doing basic things at the command line in PS.

Morning everyone!

Here, something to play with:
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PhysicalMemory | Select-Object Manufacturer,@{Name="Size (GB)"; Expression={[math]::round($_.Capacity/1GB, 2)}},Configuredclockspeed,Banklabel,Devicelocator,Serialnumber | Format-Table -AutoSizeAlso works (like many other things in PowerShell) on remote machines
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_PhysicalMemory -ComputerName xxx | Select-Object Manufacturer,@{Name="Size (GB)"; Expression={[math]::round($_.Capacity/1GB, 2)}},Configuredclockspeed,Banklabel,Devicelocator,Serialnumber | Format-Table -AutoSizeSource:
