Sorted this out.
For some reason the install was setting Allow Global IP and Allow Default Route.
Once I unticked these and ticked All Managed IP it all began working.

What special case needs UAC completely off?

I'm curious about this as well.

Installing malware 🙂

Just wondering - Is anyone seeing a patch for 2019 with a reference to the KB article?
Checked yesterday, last night and this morning. No update that I can see.

Currently performing the workaround.

Thanks. Forgot about the update catalog.

@Dashrender said in Windows Domain routing question - dual-nic:

Though - if you have a second layer network like this, you'll need to inform your external router on the internal networks and how to route them.

Routing to the internet is mostly just a nice to have.

@Grey said in Issues uninstalling Windows Server 2012 R2 Key:

You mean sfc /scannow? Or DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth?

@op Check your event logs for more information, and try running the commands above.

Ran both, so far nothing, but I will run chkdsk tonight to see if that fixes anything. So far I can't find anything in the logs but I'll keep looking.

That's awesome.

Admin roles are also dying with immutable infrastructure and HA. Designing a system that is immutable and highly available isn't expensive or time consuming on the cloud anymore.

But someone is still designing the initial system and someone (maybe the same person) is managing it.

Yeah so you don't have an admin here as you admit. You have an engineer designing the system and replacing the system if there is issues. It's all design and no maintenance. Maintenance is automated during build.

Not in the real world. That's a nice theory, but applies to effectively no one anywhere. In the real world, engineering almost always is a trivial effort that involves almost no time, skill or planning, and all the effort goes into years of administration that deals with that haphazard system.

That's completely false. Engineering is almost always a trivial effort......

It's completely true and I've given example after example. In the real world, engineering is generally done without planning or resources and it works enough for people to accept it. Then all the effort is hoisted onto administration. You can argue, but you can't deny that this is what 95%+ of the market does.

No you gave an example of FreeNAS and have completely ignored things like SRE where design upfront including architecture, engineering, coffee design, IaC, etc are all roles for the engineer. Immutability is vital and SREs are embedded in specific teams and only supporting that application.

Yes, but the difference is my example represents nearly the entire market. I didn't say that there weren't exceptions. But that's what they are.

Outside of F500 maybe but outside of F500 you don't normally have systems engineers and systems admins.

Mount the disk image on Windows Server instance, from the mounted disk drive, go to Properties and then Previous Versions?

That's what I thought. But it just seemed too easy, lol.

Lol, anything that appears with Microsoft as easy should work but emphasis on "should" 🙂

Emphasis with "assume" too. lol

@GregC No, it just keeps happening for some reason.

@IRJ said in New to Windows Active Directory and Group Security Management:

Make an AD group called workstation_admins and add that group to local administrators account on each desktop. This group does not need any AD rights and nobody's account should be in there except for IT admin accounts. Even those IT admin accounts should not be used on local desktops to login on a regular basis. Only when elevation is actually needed, and even then you should use run as.

I do this - Those who need it have a workstation admin account and a local non admin normal account.

Hosting Costs
1U Colocation America, /24 IP Range
Monthly cost: ~$250/month
Yearly cost: 12 x 250 = $3000
5 year cost: 5 x $3000 = $15K

Last I looked, 1U was more like $225 with that many IPs. And I think typically you'd get fewer for a lot less cost and/or go IPv6. /24 is two IPs per VM. No need to pay for that.

Yes, the basic 1U was $100 with two power outlets and then you get four usable IPv4s.

A smaller server, say 16c EPYC, 128GB RAM, 2x500GB SSD, would be about $3500 and something even smaller, like a 8c Xeon @ 3.7Ghz, 64GB RAM, 2x500GB SSD around $2K.

So you could scale down everything substantially if you wanted. But if all you are doing is running a few very small workloads then a couple of $5 Vultr VM would be cheaper.

another factor is - are you running windows VMs, likely always cheaper to have your own hardware, but yeah, the amount of workloads definitely plays a factor here.

That's true, Windows workloads make cloud computing harder to justify. Not much, but a little.
