@aaronstuder what do you learn from this?

@PhlipElder said in Tunnel Interface with two Sonicwalls and three subnets.:

What we do:

Plug the server into a small 5-Port or 8-Port Gigabit switch.

We have a dedicated bench SonicWALL that is used to isolate the bench network then each LAN port on the unit is configured with its own subnet/gateway with a DENY between all.

The above switch is plugged in to one port on the SW. A Site-to-Site (S2S) tunnel is created to the client's site.

The VMs are stood up leaving the host in workgroup mode pulling a DHCP address that can be set to DHCP Reserved if need-be for longer bench duration.

All Roles and Features are set up and LoBs are installed and configured.

When it comes time to deliver we delete the S2S on both client and bench SWs.

Deliver the host. We always have a RMM/iDRAC Enterprise installed with DHCP enabled. That way we virtually never run into a problem on-site. Worse gets to worst a monitor and keyboard are available. 🙂

Once the host is configured on the production network we flip the IP on the DC VM and IPConfig /RegisterDNS then verify AD, DNS, ETC.

From there it's migrate ...

Okay. You do exactly what we do. Almost. Your outline above is describing what I am trying to streamline so it can be done over and over with different client sites with little to no effort. The one difference is that we use Robocopy to migrate all the data (over the tunnel) ahead of time (last week we pulled over 200TB of data over a tunnel in advance, it was sweet!), and then when we arrive on site (since it's all the same subnet), we run our script one last time to catch any new/modified files that showed up in the hours before final migration; this takes minutes.....

We even setup the new domain (when needed; I hate .local domains) with DHCP turned off, in our office before hand. It works a treat.

I spent time last night reading about EoIP with Mikrotik. It is exactly what I want, but I couldn't find any docs on setting it up with both Microtiks behind NAT devices. I'm still looking.

We do a .VHDX restore of their backup to the newly stood up VM what hosts their files and folders. That way there's no permissions issues. Final sync is done using BeyondCompare.

My choice is CodeLobster IDE
It works best for projects that use some framework.

I don't know that one, checking it out. You need to note that you work at CodeLobster, though.

Almost certainly it is limited to certain hardware instances.

Are you referring to https://chrome.google.com/remotedesktop

No, that's just a desktop remoting system. We're talking about a management platform. More like MDM. Not remote assistance.

This is why you don't use pre-made cables.

What does it cost to have fiber terminated? $150/hr? Since this is in the mountains, I'm guessing the nearest city is 1.5 hours away, so drive time on top of that. I'm just guessing at the labor since I haven't ever had it quoted.

Right, so if oyu are confident that premade will pull in quantiy, then by all means go with it.

The good thing about fiber, is that it doesn't matter if you coil up the left over.

@scottalanmiller I wasn't referring to sleep mode. Windows use to have varying degrees of shutdown, I'm pretty sure it still does.

@Obsolesce Thanks! 🙂

I hate this so much... mostly because I have no say in things between the reseller and my boss when it has to do with products or services I'm not much involved in, but still effected by it. By the time my opinion on said product or service is asked for, the decision has pretty much already been made and discussed.

which makes them the head of IT - just remind them of that.

Yup, refer to them as the CIO, or the "IT lead", or whatever descriptive title hits home that they are responsible for the IT decisions and failures.

@scottalanmiller Do you know where the snap version of mongodb is installed? I can't find it.

Under /var/lib/snapd/snap/rocketchat-server/current/bin/

But what you want to do I assume is use Compass and just attach to it remotely. It's on port 27017 as usual.

@Emad-R

Didn't know it wasn't included in there. But I didn't check either.

Just wondering, why not QXL video in your case?

@Dashrender said in Thicket files in Windows - how are they "linked"?:

I recall seeing this ages ago. It happened when I would save a website onto my computer. I found that the directory had copies of the images (and perhaps other files) that the HTM file referenced.

@Pete-S
Indeed this has been true since at least Windows 98 when IE had the feature (maybe still does) "Read web page offline" and also as a part of the Save... feature, and other browsers copied that same implementation when saving the assets. In the end it doesn't matter where it came from, how it was created, etc nor whether 9x or NT. If there's a .htm(l) file and a directory with _files in the name they are treated as linked in Explorer, but not in CMD (IIRC).

Thanks. I made the same observation - that it is the name that link the directory and file together and it is only in Explorer it is treated as a link.

@scottalanmiller the issue with nslookup being useless is stupid though.

Agreed, that's really messed up.
