Baltic is a little cheaper last time I checked, but it's been a while.

Does BB have a referral program? I'm probably going to switch from CrashPlan to BB if I like it, and somebody here might as well benefit from it.

Taking bets, but we just know that this is the cardinal sin of AD.

I am ashamedly guilty of this, too and we've been living with it for years. I just setup an A record in our AD DNS for www to point to our web host. If I had any issues other than this I would have fixed it by now, but it's not that big of a deal.

Is the storage the only thing holding you back from putting all 40 VMs on one host?

@fateknollogee said in Scanning PDF's:

I think the scan to email option would be worse?

It may be worse in the OP's case because it sounds like his documents need to be searched by multiple users.

For me, it's one less thing to go through and delete. Most of the stuff being scanned has no business being on my servers in the first place, and the documents that do are almost always being scanned to be emailed to a customer or something anyway, so it could just be forwarded. idk maybe I haven't thought it through entirely.

Shortly after I graduated HS I acquired a copy of Red Hat 8 (I think, cross referenced wiki article with approx. date), like @Dashrender I didn't give it much of a chance as I was mostly gaming at the time.

Ubuntu server was the first that I really actually used a lot. No idea what version, but it was in the mid-late 2000s. I was mostly using it for LAMP stack. I know it's bad, but Ubuntu is still my linux of choice for most things as that's what I'm most familiar with.

I have this same issue, you'd be amazed at the amount of personal stuff gets left in the scan folder for all to see.

Our MFP has a scan to email option, I've been considering disabling the scan to folder option and adding all of our addresses into the default address book.

We have an incredibly basic AD domain setup, are they any benefits of staying on local AD vs moving to Azure? We already have O365, so it sounds like the free tier is already available to us.

I've been thinking of switching for a while simply to try and eliminate password sharing, I feel like if their desktop login is the same as their email password they'd be more inclined to keep it private.

@dustinb3403 said in Student Loan Forgiveness Rant:

I want a $63K gift.

I think you're missing one of the primary requirements mentioned above. Unless I misunderstood what @anthonyh said, they have to continue making payments on their student loans for 10 years, THEN once the 10 years is up, the government would forgive the remaining balance on the loan. From the sounds of it, after the 10 years the entire balance is nearly paid anyway. So maybe they'll actually get a couple thousand dollars? Did I completely misunderstand this or what?

edit: Unless you have a huge balance on your loans and take a job where your income based payments are so low they'd barely touch the balance after 10 years.... But this doesn't sound like the case here.. He said after 5 years he would have the loans paid off anyway, so he wont be receiving any benefits in this regard.

Scrolling in VMware Workstation blog... came across this lol

Your arrays should show up in hyper-v with drive letters, just like in normal windows. Like @Tim_G said, just pick what folder you want to store the VHDs in

Ah you're looking for a walkthrough, not advice, sorry I missed that part.

It should be pretty straight forward, as you install right from the Hyper-V installer just like regular windows. Is there a specific thing you're having trouble with?

Why do you need logging on a separate partition? Skip the partitioning altogether. I would only provision what you need, and do it all on the R10. No need to setup blank VMs unless you have a very specific reason to. I would use all the R10 space as needed, then if you run out of storage there you could start chipping away at the R1. Typically you'd just buy all the same hard drives and have OBR10 instead of having 2 different arrays, this would give you better performance, reliability, etc.

@jaredbusch Well he's stating the script does it all for you but it doesn't work, yet I've done it manually twice now and it worked flawlessly both times.... apparently my iso of centos minimal is more awesomer than his idk

maybe a stupid question, but did you install epel-release and update all packages before you ran the install script?

You tried with setenforce 0 or you tried manually creating the directories?

@aaronstuder no errors at all, well none that I noticed anyway. I just ran it from XenCenter so I can't scroll back up and look. I'll revert back to clean CentOS install and try again from putty

@aaronstuder I would try to create it just for kicks?

only other thing I had to do was open firewall port

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=80/tcp
systemctl restart firewalld.service
