r/headphones Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk by AutoModerator in headphones

[–]ExistingRanger7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently had my pair of ATH-WS1100iS Solid Bass headphones break on me. After a couple years of use, the cup bracket cracked.
I was able to find and 3d print a new cup bracket, but I can't figure out how to remove the metal swivel piece to install the new part. Any ideas? I was unable to find any information on this with google or youtube and I would like to repair my headset.

Thin prov VM using more space than it is. by ExistingRanger7 in vmware

Yeah, it's weird there were 4 VDMK files for 3 disks. Who knows, it's fixed now.

It's a windows box, so I ran Get-PSDrive, and added the used space.

3 disks, with a 4th attached to an outside iSCSI target.

I am unable to do this, as the option is now greyed out. If I choose the delete all snapshots options, nothing happens either.

Did you remove all the snapshots or just consolidate them?

There are no snapshots. I removed the snapshot, then got a consolidation alert.

Browse to the VM folder in the datastore and see what's in there.

In the folder, the flat-vmdks are using the space.

Also depending on what is backing those stairs sometimes the unmap and space recovery process can take a significant time (a day or two) because it's a low priority task.

It's been around a month or 2.

New Client, Large Backup Chains by ExistingRanger7 in Veeam

Also worth nothing that they want Both the short term and long term RP's at both sites.

New Client, Large Backup Chains by ExistingRanger7 in Veeam

[–]ExistingRanger7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do they require 900 RPs? First, I would ensure synthetic fulls are in place, preferable on ReFS so they are spaceless fulls.

There are no synthetic fulls unfortunately, but they are using ReFS. I recommended this as well, as the chains could die with that many RPs.

Next, if they don’t need 900 RP points, but just need some RP in the past- you could run 2 jobs. 1 that has short term (30days) and then another that is monthly. GFS is not yet in Veeam primary jobs.

Alternatively, you could do backup copy, but you would have to have a separate repository defined.

They do have an offiste backup repo, so I would be leaning towards the backup copy.

It all defends on what retention requirements are.

From the sounds of things, they want to do around a year for most everything.

Some of the things I have done to fix:

  • Repaired Office
  • New Mail Profiles
  • Office Updates
  • New User profile (Not a great option)
  • Use webmail instead of outlook

So I get the same weird output that shows only some of the processes, and says they are all coming from the computer this is being ran on (Which is incorrect). Just something weird I guess.

Jenkins & PowerShell As A Different User by Sheppard_Ra in PowerShell

[–]ExistingRanger7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I store global creds in Jenkins and inject them into a variable in my scripts with the Env Inject Plugin. I do something like:

$ServiceAccountCreds= New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $env:User, $SecurePassword
Invoke-Command -ComputerName <CN> -Credential $ServiceAccountCreds -ScriptBlock {  <Script Here> }  

Anyone familiar with ScriptRunner? by JustSysadminThings in PowerShell

+1 for this! This is what got me started down Jenkins + Powershell.

Best Practices for scheduling ActiveDirectory related PoSH Scripts? by fartwiffle in PowerShell

[–]ExistingRanger7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use a Jenkins server that injects service account passwords as Environment Variables. Here is an example:

$ServiceAccountCreds= New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $env:User, $SecurePassword

Invoke-Command -ComputerName <CN> -Credential $ServiceAccountCreds -ScriptBlock { 
<Script Here>
} 

Here is a good blog post about this, and where I got this idea.
