Just moved our core switches and routers 2 racks to the left.

yep

Posted a couple of issues and feature requests yesterday and just got some feedback from UBNT-Ken (is there any Ubiquity representative here at ML?)

Good news: They plan to update their factory default firmwares

Unpacking and adding devices to UNMS right after booting would be a great feature. UNMS could then patch them to the latest version available.

Same here - take care. Last logon normally won't be synced between DCs. You need to loop through Get-ADDomainController results and query each DC individually.

I will look into this. Thanks!

There's a couple of attributes that won't be synced. There isn't a complete list, AFAIK, but badLogonCount is another example.

I had one the day. vendor installing software they support and could get it running....... Kept giving crystal reports error, dll ocx type thing.

They tried all day asking if there was some permissions not working (I gave then local admin access and there domain user was a admin )

Left them to it.

They gave up. Took me 5 minutes to sort. All it needed was the right runtime installing .......

Crystal Reports :thumbs_down_medium-light_skin_tone:

Hey, no horror stories when I want to go to bed please.

@dbeato said in Flushing GPOs:

You need to setup the settings to Delete or changed to not configured, wait until it applies and then delete the GPOs after confirming they are not applied any longer.

Get-Content c:\temp\gpos.txt | foreach { Get-GPO -Name "$_" | Remove-GPO }

I bet you could do something like this to set all GPOs to "on delete remove from client" too

This assumes a txt file with all GPO names. You could also just use Get-GPO

@tim_g said in Why is Node.js so popular?:

It seems great in every way when you start comparing it to others like PHP. It's faster and handles multiple concurrent connections better, with faster turnaround times.

I'm learning PHP first because it's so much easier for me to use that as a gateway language. They all seem very similar, but it seems like once I am fluent with one, the others will be easy.

You can't compare them. Node.js is a packaged engine while PHP itself is a language. What makes Node.js great - IMHO - is that you can build fast acting, event-driven networking services without much hassle. You could even do that in COBOL, but that's another story

Playing with NGINX and got my first reverse proxy working sending http://wordpress.mydomain.co.uk that points to the NGINX ip show my wordpress site

Now to try and get it to work with https - On that note
Do i need to get the wordpress server configured for SSL (https:) or is that handled by NGINX?

Depends. You basically want the connection between your proxy and your webserver to be encrypted too. There are a few cases where you may omit that, for example if you trust your host and both systems run on the same metal.

Basically, the same reasons that make you use HTTPS on LANs apply here too, IMHO.

Last thing was about factory default firmware, which doesn't allow you to add them to UNMS out of the box. You need to upload 1.7.3 first.

This is not a new thing. The EdgeRouters still ship with version 1.2 i think.

They have never updated production on any Edge hardware that I know of.

Yep, sadly

Submitted two little issues and three feature request in the UBNT forums about 8 hours ago. Four of them already accepted. I really like them.

What did you submit?

Just a few little things: VLAN, MSTP and certificate deployment via UNMS, maintenance mode for ES/ER (e.g. prep a switch, put it in the shelve for later -> site offline, switch -> outage) and another bugger: Whenever you click a link for an ES in UNMS that only speaks HTTPS (what I prefer), the link is only HTTP.

Last thing was about factory default firmware, which doesn't allow you to add them to UNMS out of the box. You need to upload 1.7.3 first.

You could vote for those features here: https://community.ubnt.com/t5/UNMS-Feature-Requests/idb-p/UNMSFeatureRequests/tab/most-recent (or search for 'thwr')

@thwr I've sent my first one to be deployed in production.

Once the people in charge of the unified comms project pull their fingers out of their ass and sort it out I'll be deploying at least one to each site.

hehe

Just posted a couple of issues and feature requests on the UNMS Beta forum.

Rolling out so many UBNT ES, I don't even have time to post

Oh, yep. Funny story. Our hardware distributor (Hardware in the sense of screws, tools, metal etc.) told us about Schaefer IT, a German manufacturer.

Ordered three of them without doors. Should arrive in a few days.

Linking no this topic over on the NobeBB community.

Because? Number of posts?

Make sure you include the labor in the comparison as well. Hanging new APs can get very costly.

I guess all the wires are already in place. Shouldn't be too hard to replace them

Still would be to get someone in a ladder or lift to do the replacement. I've done a 150 AP organization before that was a good week for two people.

The question is: Who should climb the ladder? Probably not someone who bills $150+ per hour.

That'll be me. They're cheap, but I know what I'm worth haha.

One day I'll be worth that...one day...

A smiley? I guess you are already worth one
