Is there an "investigative reporter" on one of the local news teams? They'd have a field day with this as well.

Given that we also know that the company is heavily involved in piracy, they seem to be on some seriously shaky ground. Imagine what a full audit of that place would turn up!

He has no say in Firing me; he can ask but that's not whats going down.

Heck yeah, that's definitely an option.

Spinning up my server 2019 VM with AD, thinking I need practice with Hyper-V as well..
thought?Why are yo doing this. We talked about this the other day. Just don't.
You don't need to know this much about AD.
Stop fucking with dead tech, no matter what @Dashrender thinks of it.
Spend your evenings doing courses on O365

Installing Hyper-V?
Cause I want to get more familiar with it?You don't need to know this much about AD.
I don't?Every Job Posting I've seen requires some knowledge of AD. even if i was to land a job and move them to azure or O365 I can't do it as the first thing I do.

IDK man, @Dashrender has been teaching me a lot.

I started the Microsoft Course.

Not anything that will actually make you valuable. You can learn AD all you want and get more basic shit ass jobs. But why keep looking at crap?
As much as I am friends with him, @Dashrender is a horrible example of what to look up to in IT.
He knows a lot, yes. But it is all mostly old. He is in a great position with the company he works for which has the weight of legacy crap and misunderstood HIPAA holding it back.

thought?Single host Hyper V operation is very simple. I wrote an article over at @StarWind_Software's blog a while ago which explains the basic networking stuff (the articles there are all great). Could be a good starting point.
More advanced topics include things like backups, MAC spoofing (required by VPNs, for example), VLANs vs multiple NICs (important for VPNs and firewalls for example), resource allocation, correct snapshot usage, different virtual disk types, underlying storage architecture (beware, that's the personal topic of @scottalanmiller :p) etc. IMHO, backups and the underlying storage are by far the most important things to learn.
I prefer the learning-by-doing approach. You could, for example, build a working VPN server. Try SoftEther on a Linux VM, a really cool and free to use multiprotocol VPN server. Let it authenticate inbound SSTP connections against your Active Directory. Or play around with Veeam B&R.
Thanks, I'll look into that.
yw.

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

I'm running all those workloads on Docker. Makes life so much easier. No more per-application handling.

f964b9c86514 nextcloud:latestyep, that link points to the Docker Hub page I've linked above. Snap... well, I don't like them, but that's personal preference.
