Figured out how to remove the entries as well.

export PATH=/export PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin

Damn that's easy.

The more I learn, the more I realize that doing $TASKS in a Linux environment usually results in "Damn, that's easy."

@scottalanmiller often tells me (paraphrased):
"You are making this much tougher on yourself because you are thinking about it like Windows. This is just ... EASY."

@DustinB3403 was this conversation in a discussion of "I use the cloud, it is backed up"?

I've heard that 4 times this week, and it's starting to concern me, especially since two people almost wiped out their data on the cloud.

OK, so let's take this a step back.

Bob is an IT admin. He hosts his mail on Office365.

He wants to use dnf-automatic to send mail.

How does he do this?

We've been working to update all our machines to 1709, and the latest and greatest cumulative updates.

Sometime after upgrading, the machines started locking up after the user logs in. They enter their password, and within seconds, the machine totally freezes up. Booting into Safe Mode and doing anything with the WRSA file (like trying to uninstall it) also would result in the machine locking up. I got around this by just disabling Webroot, but wanted to get to the bottom of the issue.

After spending some time today on the phone with Webroot, it was determined there is a recently found perfect storm of the following things...

• 1709
• meltdown/spectre patch
• sandybridge architecture
• Webroot

that is causing this issue. It is supposedly fixed in the next 9.0.20.X release.

There is a workaround that I did by using BCDEDIT to set debug to on. But I would probably check with their support before doing that. (Or go for it, if you are brave.)

These are the kind of things you think someone would catch.

Not like it's some random 3rd party app on some 3rd party OS on some 3rd party host.

@bigbear said that is a disaster, and that's about the feel I got from it from reading stories online, as well.

We can argue the point all we want, but the thing is, there IS an easy way to do this. It's just the Microsoft cripples it for some reason.

With my little XS adventure earlier this week, it reminded me how truly simple XS/XC/XO is.

Hyper-V really does need such a thing. Such a free thing.

BTW:

As a followup to this ... thanks to all who recommended MigrationWiz by BitTitan. Great product, works awesome (and relatively quick) ... and their support is live and incredible.

TWO BIG THUMBS UP!!!!!

Just wish I had learned about them at the beginning of this whole ordeal.

QUESTION:

Let's say you have 3 NICs in the server, and you give them static addresses of 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.3

When you team them, the multiplexor adapter is created.

This then gets its own static IP address?

I keep losing connection here at this step, and I can fix it, but might be worth a small discussion on...

No, when you team them the static addressing is lost. The best thing to do is have everything DHCP and then team. The team will pull an IP and then you can make it static.

Just to confirm ... if you set them all, it means nothing?

AKA, those static addresses all disappear?

Our new additions...

I'll believe it when they actually are out of the state... If they do actually get das boot, what happens to all the Charter & TWC customers? they lose their internet or what?

Charter is kicked out, TWC can't leave.

First of all, TWC no longer exists. Charter purchased it.

Second, they have been ordered to sell the assets formerly belonging to TWC. This does not mean TWC suddenly beings to exist again. It means the assets must be sold to whoever will buy them.

Finally, Charter has been ordered to leave by the PSC, but it is far from certain if it will happen. The order will almost certainly be temporarily held up by an immediate court ordered injunction pending litigation.

you forgot ... [drops mike]

Time to set up a filter to just delete that e-mail automatically.

10+ years ago.. seriously man.. move on..

Sadly, said vendor is probably still using the same app.

I have something like that in my office, still.

It was our first server, and I don't want to throw it out.

@thanksajdotcom

New pic!

"America has the best heathcare system in the world"

Yes, everything in the server is totally updated firmware-wise.

Pretty sure it's just an issue of it being a non-DELL drive. I read a lot of drives from other manufacturers were exhibiting the same symptoms.

I guess some SSDs work, and some don't. Kingston has been good with working with me, but this might not be fixable on their end.

I guess that would be ANOTHER question ... anyone using 3rd party SSDs that work with DELL servers?

VM costs on Google Cloud, Amazon and Azure vs Vultr are double at least. Really glad I was referred to this when I first found ML.

I was first referred to DO, so still have a VM or two there. But most of the workload is at Vultr.

When will then be now?

SOON!
