I lived in Romania and had moonshine for breakfast, literally. You don't scare me.

Minecraft Groundhog Day
I'm thinking I might roll back the minecraft server every day in February until people figure out Groundhog Day.

Well, with a lot of help from @dashrender, I successfully demoted two problem Domain Controllers and fixed my add network printer list not populating. The DC's were two standalone servers and free up two servers for use as VM Hosts.

RE: What Are You Doing Right Now
@NerdyDad said in What Are You Doing Right Now:
Kind of lost hope and faith in Spiceworks, as a company.
It's really sad that so many people are leaving Spiceworks due to so many fixable problems. Interestingly, it's all the fault of the CEO because that's where all blame eventually lies in a company, despite the 3 envelope joke. Since we know that Jay has a marketing background, it's super obvious to see why things are failing at a company that, at it's core and slogan, was designed for IT. They've shifted to marketing their mistake, the community, and it's clearly hurting them. I predict that, unless Jay realizes that his boat is headed for Davy Jones' Locker, that ship is going to sink before anyone realizes it, if it hasn't already. People are already leaving the app and community in rafts and competitors like ManageEngine are just cheering.
At the very least, we can thank them for bringing people like Scott and most of the people in this community together. I hope that MangoCon picks up steam and is a viable event to replace SpiceWorld when it finishes circling the drain.
Should we start a deadpool on their community?

PWSH: Reboot servers from a file
A little script I wrote to reboot a bunch of servers at a specific, calculated time. You can adjust the filename or time in the header. Default time is 730 pm. You need winrm enabled on all the target systems, and I don't know what the limit would be on server count. If you run a NOC, warn them before all the servers reboot at exactly the same time. lol!

#Boot systems in a file at 730 pm$file = "$($ENV:USERPROFILE)\desktop\systems.txt"
$target = Get-Date -Hour 19 -Minute 30 -Second 0#don't change anything below here

$utz = Get-Date -Hour 19 -Minute 30 -Second 0 -UFormat "%Z"
$now = $(Get-Date)
$serverTZ = (get-timezone).id
$seconds = ($target - $now).TotalSeconds

RE: Windows/vmware server licensing
@travisdh1 Does that imply that each guest needs a minimum number of cores assigned?

Windows/vmware server licensing
I'm looking to upgrade a pair of end-of-life home lab Windows servers and wanted to double check on the current licensing since I haven't relicensed since Technet closed up. From what I can tell, it looks like data center covers up to five windows servers? There also appear to be maybe a minimum number of cores per server? Is that accurate?
Also, on VMWare ESXi, since they're broadcom now, do they still offer a free ESXi? Maybe I should migrate to a new baremetal hypervisor?

RE: IPv6 New Deadline for Adoption
@scottalanmiller said in IPv6 New Deadline for Adoption:
At this point 2148 feels a little ambitious.
Right? It's weird that March was both last month and it's also next month, so 2148 is going to be at least an eternity.

Troubleshooting weird switch issues; looks like we lost a VLAN power cycled switch and everything came back. Then the AP's all started having weird issues. Second power cycle and everything's settled down. Starting to see why @JaredBusch is not a fan of Netgear (this is my only Netgear switch in the company). Keeping an eye on it.
Very few people here are fans of Netgear switches I believe.
I love their dumb switches. No experience with their newer stuff.
Check out this cute little fella! Runs off PoE, too.

I seem to recall AdGuard was embroiled in something where advertisers were paying to be whitelisted. Maybe it was a different product?
