@scottalanmiller I just stumbled across that, lol.

I'm sure they are... I wouldnt have ordered them anyways at a premium

I've seen other USB powered devices have the same problem. I think the Amazon Firestick specifically tells you to use their wall wart for power, do not use a TV USB port.

Very nice, I look forward to testing that one out.

Now, saying that you can do that all separate, someone like @ntg....

No, i was asked for one of my SP farm report after installation and found this one 🙂

That does look much better. The old one is not good at all.

Why is a VPN a security risk? because they give you (generally) full access to the network?

Correct. They create unnecessary exposure. Direct access to all hosts (typically) for all protocols and ports. The protections of firewalls and proxies are bypassed. They are generally the least secure form of access because they are the laziest - just expose everything and hope for the best.

Nice, it has UAE. Let me try this. Thanks a lot @JaredBusch

Yes, I agree, OpenDNS seems to have been declining in recent years and I can't imagine using them now that they are part of Cisco.

Just got it installed on the latest Ubuntu running ML.

I have witnessed installation of such cable first hand many times. It happened a lot in the past, before 1Gbit became affordable, and customer wouldn't want to run another cable. My co-worker used to love these kind of "hacks", and it worked without any issues at 100Mbit. He even did poor man's POE over similar setup - power plugs/jack on both ends of the cable.

Sorry for the confusion- its a development server, but i still need to make sure that these are updated with minimal downtime. I am trying to push the AD changes to some other time at least wait for the dev team to complete the tasks in hand, but not very sure if they will stop it just for us

Hmm thats actually pretty cool

Thanks

Hi Scott-
Just found out about this site - thanks for the ioSafe mention. Perfect application btw. The ioSafe 214 now comes with drive options - all new loaded ioSafe NAS products contain WD Red Drives by default and have for several months now. We'll be working on updating the product description in the field over time. Also, all NAS units can be ordered with Enterprise Grade Drives as an option.

Redundant NICs are an option on the 1515+ but not the 214.

Hope that helps!

I have no idea how Azure licenses stuff - I wouldn't have thought that you could buy a Datacenter server license for MS's own cloud solution, but what do I know?

I think that DC might be the license that is provided. I do not believe that you can bring your own license, but what you get does come with a license of some sort.

Getting a DC license in that case seems weird to me then, unless it allows you more resource usage than standard (does it in Server 2012 R2?) Of course it allow allows for you to run all the VMs under a single hardware server as well - but I'm guessing that the licensing you're getting as part of Azure isn't a full DC license, additionally, because it is cloud based, you wouldn't be properly licensed in a situation like that anyway since MS could move your workload onto different hardware without you ever knowing it, and now you'd be out of compliance.

So, if you really need to run 10 servers on Azure, you just need to purchase 10 instances, right?

Now if only MS and Google could patch things up and MS get google services on MS Phone 10.

Yeah I know, don't hold my breath.

New client update available today.
