Finished imaging and deploying 22 computers today.
Nice. What imaging solution nare you using?
Macrium Reflect, free version, it's even free for companies.
The new office uses that. Need to do some more research on it myself
It's actually a really good product. The free version is used as a sales lead for the paid version of Reflect and their backup products like you'd expect, but all the basic functions you need for image creation and replication are included. It's able to image a running Windows system, but I always use the USB you can make from it (sysprep is your friend).
What makes it better than Clonezilla?
Ease of use would be my guess.

Ease of use is about the same, honestly. The company I'm working for right now just happens to like Macrium Reflect.

Unless the GUI made it a lot easier, Clonezilla is pretty damned easy...

Things are way to calm, I'm waiting for something to happen that blows my weekend. Even my ticket queue is below 15 and everything is scheduled for next week at this point.

Not heard of a punctured stripe before- ….

@gjacobse corruption in the raid array itself usually a disk error but not enough to flag the drive as bad unfortunately for me. Previous admin did a raid 5 not a raid 10 thus I am backing g up data while waiting for drive replacements to arrive

Hired a new chef last night. That takes us to four full time chefs now. Just a bit crazy. We were totally sold out last night so I didn't bother to get dinner as they were slammed. But for breakfast had some new breakfast items to check out what they could do.

Doing a Unifi deployment. Trying to carefully rip out the mish mash of old equipment in this place and install all unifi gear. Access points, switches, USG Pro, etc. And centralizing the PoE.

For you or a customer?

Ah, for me. For the hotel. We are close to closing on it officially. We've only been renting it so far. So slow to do big changes that involve installing new equipment. But we are counting down the days to finally closing now and we really need good Internet everywhere. Mostly we were waiting for the box of Unifi goodies to arrive from Miami. It is here now and most of it is hooked up.
We've got a few Edge devices mixed in just because we didn't want to have to rebuy every little box. But all the main stuff other than the PoE distributor is new Unifi. USG Pro 4, 48 port switch, and a mix of current AP units.
-
Our game plan is to get Unifi security cameras at some point too. But they are so backordered right now, and we need to do some new wiring for most of that.
