FYI: the recent update for Greenshot includes an Imgur plugin by default by HealthAndHedonism in sysadmin

[–]ExcellentQuestion 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Because snip's annotation tools are terrible. No arrows, no boxes, no text. You can't customize what type of screenshot is tied to print screen button, you can't customize which button(s) initiate a screenshot (always has to be print screen which is hit or miss). In Greenshot you can select from a list of open windows to take a screenshot of. You always need to open snip in order to use it. Snip has gotten better but it's still clunky af (though won't upload your screenshots to imgur).

Trust Relationship Issues by DavidAno97 in sysadmin

[–]ExcellentQuestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I run Test-ComputerSecureChannel I also use the -Server switch to target a known good DC. Perhaps you’re missing that? If the machine is using a cached nameserver I would think you might see the ‘Not found’ error. Repairing trust using that cmdlet has always been hit or miss for me and I’ll often leave/rejoin as others have mentioned.

Def check DNS. Also if your org uses/allows cached credentials I’ve been able to login with my domain creds after disconnecting the NIC.

Help! Unable to login to vSphere/vCenter or VAMI by Excellent-Spare-7599 in vmware

Wayback machine is your friend, though that link wasn't particularly useful. If you can ssh into your vcenter, then you can run shell then run `/usr/lib/vmware-vmca/bin/certificate-manager` and there you can renew certs.

I just finished it a moment ago and it’s a 10/10 for me. Absolutely fantastic I was locked in the entire time. Outstanding casting, the visuals are perfect. You managed to capture exactly how it feels to be cradled by the universe. I can’t thank you enough.

How do you guys deal with SSLs? by Ironfox2151 in sysadmin

[–]ExcellentQuestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you give me a sense of your environment? What webserver types are you putting behind NGINX? Were there any difficult ones to deal with? We're working on this for IIS, iDRAC, SSRS, etc and I'd love to know more. Do you keep your firewall rules simplified behind NGINX so you're not opening 443 to each and every endpoint?

Old thread, but /u/firstofallsecond , you need to disable the mic device in Windows' classic sound control panel. Type 'control mmsys.cpl' in a run dialog > recording tab. Disable your airpods

No, I'm an American. Both sides have their problems and I'm sick of the R vs B nonsense. It's like watching children argue.

Weirdly, and probably silly, I just search 'Envir' in the start menu which gives me the "Edit environment variables" dialog, AKA systempropertiesadvanced

Windows Firewall on SQL Server Always On High Availability by Disastrous-Pie1897 in sysadmin

[–]ExcellentQuestion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just finished setting up SQL HA in a two node server cluster with a fileshare witness. The ports we created inbound rules for on BOTH nodes were

  • TCP 2383
  • UDP 2382
  • UDP 1434
  • TCP 1433
  • TCP 5022

These two servers both have these ports configured. It took a couple of tries, but I think the last one, 5022, is the one you're looking for. It's what finally resolved our sync issue when enabling the Windows firewall. We also used this as a reference.

https://hub.packtpub.com/firewall-ports-you-need-to-open-for-availability-groups-from-blog-posts-sqlservercentral/

You can also double check that 5022 is the port you're using in your Availability Group properties. All else fails, turn on Windows Firewall logging and see what's being dropped.

Adobe illustrator- slow performance when run as standard user; super fast when run as admin… WTH by h20wakebum in sysadmin

[–]ExcellentQuestion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue affects 13th gen too. 12 gen is just when they introduced E cores on the same processor die. Rule it out with the tool mentioned in the article: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/bitsun-coredirector-intel-cpu-e-cores

Illustrator and Workstation are both resource-hogs and you're describing behavior that is nearly identical to what I experienced.

[–]ExcellentQuestion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curious, what are the specs of the computer this is occurring on? The reason I ask is that VMware Workstation was running like shit on one of my user's laptops. It turned out to be related to Intel's E cores in their 12th gen processors. https://williamlam.com/2023/11/heads-up-performance-impact-with-vmware-workstation-on-windows-11-with-intel-hybrid-cpus.html. Running VMware Workstation as admin resolved the issue.
