I noticed my windows 10 machine (domain connected) automatically shares the drives (c$, d$, e$). how to prevent windows from automatically sharing d and e drives?

Those are administration shares. Unless a person has administration rights to the device they’re not accessible.

is there a way to prevent windows to share D and E even to the domain\administrators?

Sure, turn off the sharing. Better get permission from your domain admins tho.

If you are the domain admin, you can always create a GPO to remove the default shares.

Trying to collect logs from Friday afternoon. Log files for a single day (they rotate nightly) are 1.3GB, they are taking a stupid amount of time to load.

Copy to local machine then cat/grep/ open in notepad++ ?

Basically, yep. In this case VS Code.

I'm attempting to get a scanned email to a shared inbox to automatically add the attached file to a SharePoint online site.

No file is created in SharePoint, but the test from Power Automate says that it is working.

Power Automate settings:

The only "support" mechanism I've found for Power Automate is the "ask a question". Which is here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/115212/email-to-shared-mailbox-gt-create-file-in-sharepoi.html

Anyone have an idea of where things could fail?

@dafyre said in What Are You Doing Right Now:

@travisdh1 That works! I haven't had to dig into logs in a while...

Today we're doing AD cleanup and deleting old things that are no longer needed. I just deleted ~300 servers from our Computers OU. I hope they aren't still in use, lol.

Ouch. Sounds like that hasn't been cleaned out... ever!

@DustinB3403 said in How to use firewall-cmd to verify that tcp 80 & 443 is open?:

Well since this is port 80 and 443 you'd likely check the public network.

How can one be sure? If it's an on-prem server they might as well use the work zone?

I always use the default zone, so no mucking about with different zones. Using different zones might make sense somewhere, but in today's world of a single service per server instance, it would be the exception that proves the rule.

@gjacobse said in Broken Vendors Apps:

How often is it that you run into a Vendor's Application that is broke AF!?

Came across another application that the vendor needs to have User write access to the
c:\program files (x86)\application folder. It's totally non functional until you added that permission.

Why - (epic face palm)?

All the freaking time. We're surrounded by incompetence.

We've got a client that uses a time clock that is tied into their Microsoft Dynamics database. DO NOT TOUCH, even with a 29 1/2' pole!

@siringo said in Windows Servers Archived onto Linux, suggestions/help pls:

Thanks for the info Scott, I appreciate it.
It's the next day now, what I was wondering yesterday was had Proxmox created a RAID set out of the 4 disks in the server? The confusion came about as what Proxmox seemed to be telling me yesterday was it had used 3 disks, which to me looked like a RAID set with the capacity of a single physical disk.

So I was wondering if it had created a mirror with a hot spare???

If it hasn't done that, then I'd like to add the extra disks for Proxmox to use so I can learn about Proxmox as I play, this is just a lab server.

This is what is shown under LVM-Thin

That looks like a single drive to me. Can't be sure without seeing the outputs from zpool status -l

I'd use a NanoBeam from Ubiquiti to get the network to outbuilding. The ones I've used before seem to give a solid 300mbps connection. If you need better performance, you'd need to look at their AirFiber offerings.

@flaxking said in Roaming Profiles killing local copy:

Just wondering if any of you with more experience with Roaming Profiles can explain this behaviour.

There's an old Roaming Profiles set-up that's been dragged along through the years and we're wanting to senset it.

One thing we're seeing is that for users who's roaming Profiles write-back haven't been working, (maybe permission error on some files) if we do something that might trigger it to star working again (like add folder exclusion), their local profile gets nuked.

It seems like this is only an issue with roaming Profiles that haven't been working, if they've been working, any changes we've made hadn't had the affect off killing the local profile and starting fresh.

I've check for any GPO settings that might be asking for the local profile to be deleted, but I haven't found anything. From what I understand, the profiles should only be merging.

Has anyone else seen behaviour like this before where a roaming profile goes from not working to working and it kills the local copy?

It's been a long, long time since I touched anything with roaming profiles. Just about everyone uses redirected folders now if they need that sort of functionality, and this is one of the reasons. Roaming profiles just proved very buggy historically.

man, I dislike redirecting things like the desktop... it's no longer a local folder and makes using it as a scratch pad super slow...

That's one of the advantages of redirected folders over the old style roaming profiles. You can pick and choose which folders get redirected. Of course even redirected folders is legacy stuff at this point.

no, dont have that either.

Then you're going to have a difficult time keeping anything dry in that basement.... Sorry.

A sump pump will work to drain water that gets to it, but if the water is coming in from all corners and not being directed to a single point (a basin) then you'll likely have issues forever.

I've eliminated low points around the foundation and built them back up to drain away from the house. and moved the downspouts a little higher off the ground to allow more drop to the run off.
All things that I hope will keep water out..

That's a good start, but if you've got a basement, you need a sump pump. If the ground against the foundation is wet, you will have water seeping into the basement. Which is why every house in Ohio has a basin and sump pump. I've changed more pumps than I want to think about.

@DustinB3403 From my experience, you need a clear path of ~15 feet to get a good signal even at just 300'. That's for the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, I don't know how the physics change for the public 60GHz bands.

True but it is kinda flimsy. Good for oatmeal and soups so far. Haven't tried ice cream yet.

That's dangerous with any plasticware unless it's already half melted.

I have a Webroot client site that is not reporting into their online console. When I attempt to get to the support ticket I opened about the issue yesterday, I keep getting redirected back to the login page, that then takes me back to our client portal page. Anyone else having issues with the Webroot online portal?

Had some good spoons for my wedding a few years ago. Those things help up against some hard ice cream and boiling water (cannot remember the brand). Whatever you do, DO NOT buy Amazon Basic plastic ware. They cannot handle the heat of soup. Felt like I was in The Matrix. "“Do not try and bend the spoon,...." I just tilted my head in amazement.

Good to know, most Amazon Basics items I've used have been great. My laptop/overnight Amazon Basics bag specifically is amazong.

@Jimmy9008 said in What makes a system HCI?:

That does make total sense. One discussion staff keep having internally is that HCAs from vendors have 1 x NIC only. Therefore, if a server has 2 x NIC, or more, it cannot be HCI... which I think is total bull.

What sort of illogic led to the number of anything, let alone # of NICs, in a server being HCI or not?
