@Nara Sophos RED appliances. We have around 80 now and its revolutionised the way we work

Wow, few days off from ML and the site is totally changed! 🙂 Looks good though! 🙂

Luckily all our servers are safe! 🙂 All patched!

Yeah. Major patch was installed. 🙂

Daily digests come out now too.

What's the file location of wrapper.exe?

Wrapper.exe and java.exe have all spawned from the VMware directory

vCenter's a little RAM heavy. If I'm reading this right, you're using the same server for vCenter and Veeam. If that's the case, you'll want to give it extra RAM.

Yeah, that's just for evaluation purposes. I think I'll add more RAM regardless.

@scottalanmiller said:

You can tweak down the RAM usage if necessary. But I am not sure that I would recommend that.

Yeah, I'll pass on that. I was more concerned that it was broken and needed fixing but from the sounds of things, it isn't broken. So, no need to fix it then 🙂

Thanks lads 🙂

Yes. NTG used to use DokuWiki. From the admin's perspective it really doesn't get any easier. But for end users we went to MediaWiki and then to SharePoint.

Good luck.

Fingers crossed 🙂

Are you telling Unitrends to only look at the VMware host? You should only be adding one thing to back up. Not doing anything with the servers that run in top of it.

Or pointing at the HyperV host, rather.

Also I was under the impression that they are supposedly moving away from the big service packs and towards the update rollout schedule.

I believe that that is true. The big SP thing did not work well, they developed a very unhealthy culture of people reading too much into the SP numbers.

Fortunately the issue hasn't become a large one. If it does, I think I'll probably end up buying another Windows license and giving those users a VM to log into the bank from.

Or I could get SA/intune license and build a VM on the server for them to share.

@Nara said:

It depends on the system. Through the use of test pools, VDI change management's pretty much baked-in. With most virtualized environments, key VMs can be cloned into a test environment.

From what I've seen, none of the players (Chef, Puppy, etc.) attempt to address desktop needs. I'm a little confused by this because it seems like it would be a natural fit but the market seems to be eschewed from the vendor perspective and the use of disparate tools expected from the client perspective.

Cloning VMs works as a starting point. These tools are good for keeping them that way in the future.

@scottalanmiller said:

We never use dedupe outside of the backup system. Good file system management gives you most if that value.

And for a VM you'll get more from dedupe at the storage layer than inside a single VM.

2012 dedupe works well. It is a good product. It probably makes the most sense on a very large file server.

Storage-level deduplication can be quite useful. However, with the modern push toward local storage, shared deduplicating storage isn't really seen except for in rather large environments.

Anyone got anything left unpatched?

Hopefully no one replies to this, as it would be a great way to find targets.

LOL, good point. Although very hard to trace back an online profile to an IP address.

We don't have good internet connection.. Am i safe now?

Not quite. SSL connections generally don't require much bandwidth.

Well Totally i disconnected our production machine into internet.
@scottalanmiller is right. No stable internet connection.

I am curious and i drop by to read about Chef. Interesting 🙂

Within a Elastix Web interface. I fixed the issue, but some of out team got a serious kick out of this, so I posted it here.

I saw it happen. It was unique to IE and to Mike, apparently.

Did you show it to Liesl?

Thanks. I have some work to do.

Whoops! Lol.

I found a couple to play with: Microsoft Project Siena- looks like it is an App creator but I have no clue how it works or what I would use it for... something to play with while traveling this week.
