How can I get a better copy added to the post?

Use Greenshot, Jing, ShareX or something and paste it from Clipboard here.

OK because of comments I looked more closely at the picture - I've never seen anyone do loops like that before - I guess it works though.

Looks like they had a pretty common for pots but the way they were made ive never seen that done

Agreed - hell, this could be in someone's home - just an odd one is all.

cache, for example I wish to add another 250 GB SSD to act as cache, how will tha

Yeah the RAID 10 is on HDD, due to cost effectiveness. Will check LVM since its baked in.

Well, that was easy! I received an e-mail a minute later from my JuiceBox, saying it was offline. JusiceBox is the Class 2 Charging Station for our car.

Great, IOT plugged directly into our vehicles. Talk about upping the anti for security!

Indeed. It'll all work without it. But the app is too cool to resist!

Yeah, that'd be important in the morning. We have a guy that has to stop at the local quick charger for ~10 minutes in the morning. There are ~10 of them within a couple miles of our office.

@wirestyle22 said in E-mail Language Settings Change Mid-conversation:

@scottalanmiller No, all e-mails are in english. It's only the from, sent and to fields that changed. I thought it might have just been a bug with the automatic language detection possibly.

It might be that the other person is from another country but still can write in English. I deal with that when I work with France and other countries for communication.

No it was reported as an anomaly. This is someone that my CEO speaks with regularly. It's really weird.

We've been a Cloudberry Provider for many years. We have some customers on Unitrends.

We are in the process of moving all our customers to Datto. It's partner channel only, so you'll have to find someone to work through.

We are putting an appliance onsite; with forever cloud copy.

I hate Unitrends for a plethora of reasons, and I just don't have a high level of confidence in Cloudberry anymore.

Also, I do like the idea of the onsite appliance for quick recovery rather than downloading fro the cloud (current Cloudberry setup).

Datto's backups are all stored P2V, you can spin up a VM of someone's PC or your server in about 40 seconds. I like this part.

Datto restore aren't that fast as far as I have tried and we have many appliances.

In what way? The VMs sitting on our local Datto appliance are up and running in about 40 seconds.
Same for those we spin up in the cloud.

Now bringing a full system restore down from cloud storage can only be as fast as your ISP connection.

What are your resources on the VM? Like are you running a VM with 80 GB of Data or TB of Data?

Most are 150GBish

Yeah, That I can spin up fast. But we have some clients with VMs that have about 2 to 4 TB so 40 seconds is not that realistic for that size but still fast.

Have you considered splitting their OS from that much data?

That is how they are, OS is about 150 GB to 200 GB tops. Other VHD/VHDX are for Data.

@Emad-R said in Ubuntu: history -c doesn't clear:

@gjacobse

you can disable history all together if you want,

https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/disable-bash-shell-history-linux/

Thank you, I have seen that. But I use history as a track of what I have installed and how I did it. I clear it periodically once I have exported it to a text file.

I do this also to share with my brother - as he's asked me how I've done something a number of times.

@Emad-R said in Installing MS SQL Server Express on CentOS:

Et me guess it is much faster on Linux than on Windows server

No idea, but it is one less Windows Server license needed.

Also MS SQL Server Express works well for many tasks.

@scottalanmiller said in MeshCentral never updates the display name:

I would prefer hostname as a separate "detected" field that is always there, and the display name as one that doesn't change on us.

I don't care what the default setting is, as long as it is a setting that I can choose, because I will hate having to update crap all the time.

Another Reason why KVM is superior.

Btw I tried Hyper V manager on Win10, and used Gen2 VMs as oppose to using my standard VMware Workstation or Player or VirtualBox, and I was unable to complete the OS install cause it did some checkups on the VM and ISO and told me that the licensing was not valid, however I think cause I slipstreamed offline updates on the ISO that caused the issue.

It feels when you even wish to try MS stuff, they try to give you the finger some how.

How much RAM did you assign to the VM?

It was not RAM issue, it literraly came up and told me you dont have valid license

e85ca49c-edc1-449d-a868-a7084bd18e1a-image.png

The same ISO works perfectly in VMware, what they think we should buy stuff and support without testing it first for the first decade or so.

This is why I asked about the RAM.

http://blog.powerbiz.net.au/server-2012/hyper-v-and-the-windows-cannot-find-the-microsoft-software-license-terms-error/

Ok I give you that, A feature that they enabled called
dynamic memory
breaks the install of their very own Win10 install. Even though they could have made better error log.

But when I wanted to use VMware Worksation again i was blocked. It gave me another error after Hyper-V got installed. Like WTF breaking the leader in Virtualization to promote your own shit. apparently Vmware WS and Hyper-V can not go exist. so i said screw it, never again, I will learn hyper V if i was forced in company but no need to bother with it now .

I've tried that, always seem to get stuck with the "enter a code" issue.

You are going to force me to test those instructions aren't you?

Tested what I typed above.. Works perfectly.

That should fall into the "well duh" category. Of course most of the world is idiots.

Along this line - the boss wants me to add to my duties - I now get to train our users on how to use a computer as well as how to be security minded. i.e. don't plug in random USB sticks into a computer, etc.

You aren't blocking USB drives today?

nope.
That was just one example.

Then there is the need to still use DVDs around here - that one I couldn't block.

@Dashrender said in MS's plans for Windows 10?:

WAT? Windows 10 was released in July 2015, so if he purchased them in March of 2015, no they wouldn't have Windows 10 rights. If he purchased them post July 2015, then maybe, but not 100%, it will have rights for Windows 10 - many manufacturers sold Windows 7 licenses only after the release of Windows 10.

Everyone had full upgrade rights, no complications, for quite a while when first released. Even if your current OS was older.

Thanks that is nice info

You may want to try:

Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties *|Select SamAccountName,HomeDirectory,HomeDrive

and see if that returns what you are looking for.
