yeah, that's weird. Just a YouTube bug. Go to videos, it has lots.

@sn are you sure? The quotes are definitely wrong. How do you run it normally? You put quotes around the whole thing?

So you are running it like this...

openvpn-disconnect='kill -9 $( ps -e | grep openvpn | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $1 }' )'

ANd the value of the variable is what you want?

Is the question really "Can I send / receive email without an SMTP server?"

No - I know that much.

Looking for a simple basic web based email provider, that isn't Google, O365, Yahoo (puke) etc.

So you just want web mail? I think that everyone provides that these days. I'm not aware of anyone that does not.

@Mike-Davis said in Migrate and/or replace old cert server?:

If your sharepoint server is on its own VM, and the only roles on your DC are the cert services, I would build a new DC migrate your FSMO roles over and back up the old DC. Then shutdown the old DC and listen for the screams. If you hear nothing after a week or so power it back up and demote it.

If it wasn't a DC, I would do a V2V right now. But I've heard doing a V2V of DCs is horribly frowned upon.

Yes, it generally is. But really only if you have more than one DC. If you only have the one, then you can move it.

Thanks for the info - so in our case, a V2V is definitely a bad idea since we have 6 total DCs, lol.

Yeah, dont' do that. Just make a new one then, no need to V2V.

I still need to do the V2V for what's left on it after I remove the CA and DC; SharePoint (because we want to re-purpose the old hardware with a clean slate)

I see. Then yes, pull those parts off first.

I'd be interested in this too, even if just for academic reasons. Seems like a really obvious tool that should be out there, but I am not aware of any.

@Dashrender I'm pretty sure that you have to bring your own for that.

Jira is pretty complex but very popular. You can do pretty much anything with it.

Why not RLS a la StarWind ?

Because the hosts aren't uniform.

Could make them uniform, of course.

@fuznutz04 said in SIP registrations failing for 2 phones:

@StrongBad Yep, I've put those in at numerous businesses, and they work great with remote PBXs. Actually, I haven't found anything that they are NOT good at yet for SMBs.

They've always worked great for me, too.

You COULD make your own web reporting with it, as it is open. But that would be more of a pain. But certainly an option.

@scottalanmiller said in CenturyLink Level 3 November 22 2016 Outage:

All three, Qwest, CenturyLink and Level 3 are the same company. Qwest is the "parent" but used CL as their name.

OK there we go... I didn't know that QWest, CenturyLink and Level 3 are the same company.

One big, crappy company that is always offline, apparently.

About time that this was done. Too many people confused by that.

Never seen that before, but it would not be totally surprising. I should pay attention sometime when doing them.

What's new in the latest version?

Why isn't that the default? You would expect that to just happen with AD.

@stacksofplates said in What Makes Parity RAID Safe on SSDs:

I just set up a RAID 0 volume today with two SSDs on our one head node. It's pretty freaking fast.

One would hope.

Linux is a passing fad that'll never catch on

32GB can be a lot of workloads. Even if you only have 300GB SAS drives, that's not bad. For a lab that's great.

Webmin

I am aware of Webmin, but for now, I just need for File Server...

You can just ignore the other parts.
