I have 90 users in a dc that is not working correctly, users permissions are messed up, shared drive access not showing printers not printing etc.

Dc is being used for dhcp and file sharing.

How can I build a new dc and migrate al the computers to the new forest?

I have spent to much time trying to fix it. I think it will be faster to rebuild it?

Your thoughts

How can I build a 3 node cluster like scale on my own?

I have a scale cluster already. I bought it I am just interested in doing to myself for learning purposes. '

Thats all.

thank you all! I might upgrade from er3 lite and and get the 4 and just give them my er-3 lite

Is it worth it to upgrade from ER3 (aka ERL) to 4. and how hard is it. Can I used the backup I have on the er3 lite and just upload into the 4?

I am currently using opendns as a net nanny for the network. I was wondering does the Unbiquti er-3 lite have the capability of locking down the network?

or what else can I put in place beside open dns. Cause I have to cherry pick certain sites

I am trying to build A hyper V cluster using failover cluster, I do not what shared storage. I want to use the hard rives in the machines and replicate data across. Is this possible. ?

Regards

OK, Sorry So, Here is there deal. I have a scale cluster that I can't manage. It is 3 years old and the support contract is not affordable, I am a small business. I have no way to maintain it. So I want to build something That I can manage and administer etc. I have 3 Dell R710, That I would Like to setup. I have a D2D4324 - G2 with 96gb for ram and 20tb..

Thats what I am trying to do I dont like shared storage. Its a single point of failure.

@Pete-S From my understanding this is bundled together. This is the total resources that you can use.

@scottalanmiller I was on the phone with redhat today about getting Redhat subscriptions with Virtual manager

@scottalanmiller I like scale for what it does. However I think at a certain point if a client wants to manage there own equipment after so many years they should know how to do it.

Happy new Year All I have a question. I want to host my own mail server, and I am looking to setup something like gmail, that has all the apps like drive etc, that is a freeware that I can use. Is there anything out there like that. It's just for testing for now.,

This is only for testing at this time.

Yes you can. You don't have to reboot the VM. You can create Virtual Networks with one Gateway. There are a lot of option in this software that scale doesn't have. The main thing is that I can manage it. Every little thing I don't need to call them. I might sell my scale system. IDK .. its from 2016. Don't know what it's worth.

I am going to setup Proxmox tonight with LizardFs and see what the big deal is with nodeweaver and see how it functions. I will write down documentation if need be so I can share it if others what to do it.
