"The recent shift to the cloud has proven immensely profitable, with Microsoft stock growing to levels that seemed unfathomable just a few years ago. The shift away from the client and Windows is clearly working as a business strategy — but it’s a seismic shift for the company and its culture."

He seems to figure things out by the end, but just stating what everyone has known for years.

You see! This is why you shouldn't patch!

The site is constantly updated, so these ones will be removed once expired and new ones (that expire soon) will be added.

@jaredbusch

I see, so just setting option 43 on whatever DHCP server you use is all you need. Nothing hardware specific is required on the network.

Correct

@dustinb3403 said in Veeam Free Windows Server Backup Agent:

So the biggest item missing from the Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows is it lacks a central management component.

Which isn't horrible but it does leave some things to be desired. . .

No, it is not missing. That is a feature of the Veeam B&R product. You can (or soon can) manage Veeam Endpoints that point to a Veeam B&R instance.

Yea with licensing, the topic is solved. Veeam Endpoint works without limits. But it lacks a central management interface.

B&R is a licensed product, right?

Yes, it is.

@nerdydad said in MSBuild OpenSourced and Available on Linux Systems:

So do you see MS leaving the OS market altogether and go solely into IDEs?

Building development systems, yes. This has been the general analysis expectation of MS for years. OSes have never been their strong suit. Their strength has always been development tools and applications. They started as a BASIC programming company before they bought their first OS to sell. They didn't even make an OS of their own for over a decade. Their DOS/Windows era was an OS they bought and resold with, eventually, their own graphical environment on top. Windows NT 3.1 was their first fully in house OS, and that was even partially done by IBM.

I've only ever used Redgate, but have heard good things about ApexSQL.

I can believe Azure still doesn't support vhdx.

Although if you use an Generation 2 VM it is the only file supported
