To add some on topic input. Last year I ported 50 lines from TDS Telecom ($25k/year for hosted PBX with metered use) and it took almost three months to port all of our numbers. In the end we ended up being unable to port some, namely ones that had been previously ported from Vonage to TDS. Now we run FreePBX in house with all Polycom IP450 (found a lot of them going for $35 each) and spend far less than that.

My point here is, even if you get approval to move forward, and for the political reasons outlined above I wouldn't poke the bear, it will likely be an uphill battle with TDS.

SSDs save a TON on power over Winchester drives. That's for sure.

I agree there. I'd have to look it up but willing to bet taking out the two 15k, adding the ssd will still be a net power savings

There is some registry and command stuff that seems to work

Does Let's Encrypt give SAN certs? I was under the impression that it's for single one off type situations where people don't have the cash to purchase their own cert, most likely being used by someone self hosting (or single site/server hosting).

If it is free, there is no reason not to get 4 or 5 certs instead of a SAN for most things.

Stupid question time (cause I don't know) can you install multiple certs on the same server?

I don't know about apache, but with NGINX each virtual host can have it's own.

It seems as though you can install another DC, then replicate, then demote the EVAL one.

But I think I'll just go with not doing that. 🙂

Yes, it wouldn't be a functional AD if you could not do that. You risk schema issues, though.

Apple iCloud is a player too, I would imagine.

The expensive one.

@Jason They can't connect to the domain network, they're force onto the guest network. As we required any devices that want to join the domain network, they must already be in the domain.

Additionally, they need to authenticate via RADIUS.

The guest network is vlan'd off.

Isn't Wordpress also one of the most hacked webpage type?

As someone that has been using WordPress for years, and managing more and more sites everyday, I can promise you WordPress is very secure.

The Problem is plugins. People don't take care when installing them and don't keep them up to date.

Or, they set there username and password to admin. 😠

when you are running clonezilla, you can pick options (-p or -ick, etc) this are called switches or options.

Yep, DHCP isn't there.
I didn't check the details section at the RSAT download site but it's there:
DHCP Tools. Dhcpmgmt.msc is not available in this release of RSAT, but equivalent Windows PowerShell cmdlets are available.

If you are not into powershelling it, then it's Reddit to the rescue:

Awesome. Nothing like the feeling of unboxing your new server.

After some more testing it seems enabling output to journald.conf has worked. I did restart it after I tried that but it didn't show up. Now it's working. Not sure what changed, but at least it's working.

We use ADCom for this type of stuff. http://www.adcomsolutions.com/ They monitor the connections and even put in tickets with the providers for us.

When I was at my last employer we had a 300-Tonne Punch Press where the clutch brake would occasionally go into a fault state. Well the apparent fix for this is to reinstall the class A programming.

Which uses a very specific cable (cost $1400 at the time for a modern USB one) and an XP Laptop.

Well it so happens that this press would lose power rather consistently (due to maintenance etc). Finally getting fed up with this, I pass it off to our maintenance department to address.

Any time the machine goes down (since we're a 24/6) shop they can fix it.

Bandaid applied.......

All comes down to if learning VMware specifically is important to you or if you just want good virtualization.

dude, go with your wireless bridge. I have atleast 10 of these setup in the wild for clients using ubiquiti gear from 200ish feet to 1ish miles without issue. as long as you have LOS, and since you're so close turn down the gain, you'll be golden. i'd roof mount, but since this is just residential and you're apparently just helping someone out who doesn't want to pay for internet (or you want to LAN game/share) the wifi will be your Cheap/easy/good setup.

Ok jason, you're right. I haven't the slightest idea. None.

Have a good day.

I'll have to go suck my thumb..
