Working on a script to delete old profiles in Windows based on this tool
https://rsn.home.blog/2023/02/09/ad-profile-cleanup/
I've recently noticed some 'trash' user profiles on some computers. Sadly I don't have one to reference - but generally acts like it is the first signon, and creates multiples of the same profile incrementing in number. I'll see if I can't find a machine tomorrow with one - sure it won't be difficult to find one.
Here some some results that may help:
One suggestion is the Samsung tool: "Please check your drive using Samsung Magician too"
SSD 970 EVO PLUS in read-only and shop wants me to send it - what would you recommend
Suggests saving what you can and move on.
M.2 NVMe Boot SSD locked in Read-Only
If you can read it, you can recover data and move on,.. Check warranty of the drive, but depending on what is on it,.. do you (risk)warranty replacing it? I generally always get a new drive and retain the old drives, make copies and pull the drive apart (platters and magnets) and anything solid state gets the hammer fire treatment. My bench is a black hole to drives or any type of storage.

@gjacobse Purchased a Protectli device. I'll have Fedora running on it acting as a router.
That is pretty cool - (Link text show vp2420 model)
Be interested in a write up should you get the time; installed options, performance, OS and such.

Sketching out nftables for home router project.
What kind of router? I ask as I should likely replace the old UB Lite I have that has served me well..
Planning ahead for the inevitable day when the computer crashes on me when out in the field and I have to rebuild it.
Found how to export drivers on Windows, using [cmd] or [powershell].
So that is half of the battle.. but sometimes I will need to do the same for Linux. Yes,.. many drivers are already built into the native Linux system,.. but there are some odd cases where it is likely they are not the 'right one needed'.
And while I am looking, this is so I can come back later and find what I did to solve the matter.

@gjacobse Try the source, ICANN.
Site seems to use Domains By Proxy, part of GoDaddy,.... maybe,..
Getting the owner and other information about a domain
Looks like I need to gather information on a domain - who owns it,. registered through, and expiry date.
It's been a while since I have had to do anything like this. Tried whois and didn't seem to be getting any real information about it. I think the register is GoDaddy.. but would like to confirm so I can take the information to the club board. They have 'had enough' of the lack of response and such from the 'current' admin (pfft,.. if that is what you'd call his total dis-interest and lack of doing anything).
While nothing wrong perse with how its done,.. he 'pays' his yearly dues with the registration costs.. and then uses Google Sites (sigh) for the hosting. ;
No one can figure it out, I tried and gave up. just want to move it to a true host, using a true CMS that is understandable.
tnx
@travisdh1 said in WINGET: Not available on Win10.:
I found that the name has changed to UniGetUI recently. I've been using it recently since it does all the Windows repositories I know about.
I seem to remember WingetUI,.. But This is a case of a fresh install of Win10 not having the 'updated MS Store' that even has the native Microsoft Winget.
I will however take a look at UniGetUI.. My goal maybe was simply just staying out of the MS Store,.. and using CLI like chocolatey, apt-get and the similar...
Rude... Should have written down the steps...
sigh.. I know Win10 is dead,.. but sometimes it is still needed...

I think I have already tried this and it didn’t work.
That said, I also may not have work ask thing I have tried.
When I got the 720, I also got a 710. The 720 had eight drives in it, but was given to a friend to host one of our games. Turns out those drives had windows 10 on them.
We dropped them in the 720 and it will boot, but still complains about the iDrac…
It’s been a bit crazy between a new roof, plumbing issues and rain from Helene. No damage to the house, but the an area has a lot of trees downed…. Nothing like this in NC or TN..
I will try again and see what happens
Yes, this unit does have the iDRAC port also, which is why this seems weird…
iDRAC -
Ended up being short lived excitement when I came in last night to see that I could access the LifeCycle controller and was able to get the iDRAC connected.
Used the reboot option and that was it I suppose... Back to LifeCycle controller being disabled and the iDRAC being inaccessible.
Odd also is that it seems to only allow one of the four main NICs over the iDRAC NIC - Has it been so long since I worked on something at this level that I've misconstrued some information on how the iDRAC NIC is suppose to work/
Sadly,.. While I can access the PERC I cannot access the iDRAC;
iDRAC settings Version: 1.65.65.04
SWC0700: iDRAC is not ready. The configuration values cannot be accessed.
The PERC sees all drives installed, but the State is Blocked.
Specs:
Dell r720 surplused
Hitachi HUC106060css600 512 drives
I admit - I've realized that the last server I had to physically touch was likely back in 2009. While I have worked with systems, I've not had to build or rebuild an array in a very long time. So I am a tad rusty.
System does see these drives - I have a full complement of sixteen to fully populate the two bays. However I have run into a slight issue with these drives I hadn't had to work with previously as technology has changed.
These drives are per the details above 512/512e and the r720 doesn't want to 'accept' them. While the PERC does see them, they are all marked as BLOCKED.
Now, I understand that sector size is set and cannot be changed - I rather expected to find the correct firmware needed to update the PERC to allow these drives to be used...
I do see that Dell has the driver for this drive - but reading the details about it seems to point at an OS side issue and not the PERC.
I fully expect that I am simply overlooking the solution because I am looking at or for the wrong information.
Well,.. with the weather we had rip through Kentucky this past week (TS / TD Helene) Didn't get to circle back to this, but discovered one possible issue. the Headset button on the phone itself needed to be enabled. (duh)
Yes, when I test this with another phone (T46p) and my Jabra headset, the headset doesn't ring when dialed. Checked to ensure that phone was enabled on the Jabra - but didn't seem to make a difference.
I expect it is something simple,.. and easy to overlook, but not found it yet. And today I am trying to not think about work and work on the 720,.. Curious as to what else I can end up putting on this as a Proxmox host.
Well,.. had some 'free time' - not really just making it up.
Picked up a Dell R720 the other week as a replacement to the Desktop that is running my Proxmox host. No Drives,.. but dual CPU and 128GB of memory. Had some drives,.. so trying to see what I can do with it other that just a large fan / white noise generator.
Does anyone have experience with this arrangement?
T46p phone
Algo 8189 Audio Alerter with 2507 Ring Detector
Was configured by our Unified Telco team, shipped to the local tech, demonstrated as working, and when moved to the phone it would need to be on, no longer alerts.
It’s network connected, reachable and responds. But when you call the extension no sound.
I rebooted the phone and then it started to ring.. but once phone was ready again no longer rings.
@ronneyb said in Proxmox os backup and restore:
So what is the best way to setup a single pve so that we can backup and restore the os. I have not been able to backup and restore using clonezilla. Maybe the proxmox backup server ? Any ideas and answers will be appreciated
Thanks
Ronney
Just for my own clarification, are you saying you want to backup/restore the Proxmox system?
