I feel like MS gave up on Teams and just hasn't announced it yet. This is all I've gotten for a month.
I saw something recently about business users being migrated off Skype to use Teams as MS moves to eliminate Skype next year. I don't remember where, though.
Skype for Business is a dead product, MS no longer sells it, They only sell Teams, and are pushing hard to get their existing customers to move to Teams.
Skype (consumer) still exists and it better than both SfB and Teams imo.

yeah - how sad is that - the consumer product kicks the crap out of the business products they've been floundering with for a decade plus. Granted it's not as featureful (I assume at least) as the business products, but still! Why can slack have what they have, and MS is just crap? how did Zoom come in here and eat MS's lunch for video conferencing - just WTF MS?

Anyone know any veterinarians who are out of work or looking for something new?

RHCSA prep.

not THAT AD issue

SR-IOV issue got me again. Built a new VM a couple weeks ago and for the past 2 days it has been losing network connectivity. I totally forgot to check it. Host is running 2012 R2. I thought MS fixed this a long time ago, but I still had to disable it.

Don't use E1000 if it's vmware.

@Grey Hyper-V Server 2012 R2 is the host (no gui).

Early morning Zoom meeting. M&A stuff.
Really enjoying my morning coffee.

What's wrong with E1000? I use them with no issues (well E1000e).

You shouldn't. It's an emulated interface that is unable to take advantage of all the modern virtualization advances for the past 20-ish years.

@scottalanmiller Yes, I know.... Waiting on permission to upgrade. Most of the VMs are 2012 R2 also with the exception of 2 that are on 2016. Need to export all of them and re-load the hosts with HV 2019 but need approval to do so. I don't own the servers.

You can in place upgrade from HV 2012 R2 to HV 2016. I've done it a few times with no issues.
I wold assume you can also go from 2016 to 2019.

Providing the hardware supports it you can.

@JaredBusch I was going to export the VMs and reload the new OS. I may just have to do the upgrade. I hardly every do upgrades like that on MS stuff.
-
@coliver The hosts are HP DL380 G9 (identical specs) and I don't foresee any issues. They have been running for about 5 years now.
