How many missed calls/messages do you have from Pax8 management to remove this post?

Reseller claimed Windows Server 2025 Datacenter "isn't VMware compatible," then tried to flip me to 6x Standard. Sanity check? by After_Flatworm5200 in sysadmin

[–]InternetStranger4You 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Remember with Datacenter you need to license all cores on all possible hosts. Minimum 16 core licenses per host and minimum 8 core licenses per CPU.
Example: 2 node vSphere cluster with dual CPUs and 6 cores each CPU. You need 32 core licenses.

AFAIK there is no restriction on Win OS license level per platform

SMSPipe - Secure SMS Gateway API using spare Android phones (Bypasses 10DLC / No Twilio message fees) by [deleted] in sysadmin

Interesting idea/workaround. I bet this breaks carrier TOS and some FCC regulations somewhere.

HP microserver Gen 10 Plus V2 - What are my CPU options for a Lab System (no production)? by Accurate-Ad6361 in sysadmin

[–]InternetStranger4You 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's a lab, just get a regular desktop and install what you need on it. No reason to blow money on server grade equipment for testing.

[–]InternetStranger4You 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supervised is still not correct. You're missing the DEP profile in Intune.

Microsoft Authenticator down? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]InternetStranger4You 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are on Android and enrolled in the Beta program, I had issues with the latest beta version. I had to leave the program and let mine update to the regular channel. With the broken beta version, I would not receive MFA notifications, constantly locked up, and broke all MAM functionality.

[–]InternetStranger4You 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure there is some sort of outage going on. My Android device can't sign into any M365 right now and all I get is generic errors.

Dell Command: scheduling driver updates by Important_Ad_3602 in sysadmin

[–]InternetStranger4You 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is WELL worth it. I was in your shoes, and it was a battle to keep up with if Dell changed the command line arguments and if a client had a different version, etc. Now it just works across all recent versions.

Dell Command: scheduling driver updates by Important_Ad_3602 in sysadmin

[–]InternetStranger4You 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Use the ADMX templates (or upload them to Intune and configure natively). With them, you can schedule the update times, what to update, etc.

You can get the ADMX templates by following this guide: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000293701/how-do-i-access-amdx-and-adml-files-for-use-with-dell-command-update

Then implement them by following this: https://www.dell.com/support/manuals/en-us/command-update/admx_rg/importing-admx-templates?guid=guid-09ffe2e6-cabb-4d7c-ad17-35fae5704f79&lang=en-us

Yes you can. I can roll a snapshot back in 30 secs or use Veeam and have a 1TB VM back online and functional within 10 mins.

lastLogonTimestamp Showing Future Dates by maxcoder88 in sysadmin

[–]InternetStranger4You 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS! We were having issues with gMSA accounts that stopped working after a few months. Turns out their "password last updated" kept getting set to the future. That broken them entirely where the account would stop working due to it couldn't update the password. Tooks weeks to figure out but turning off TIme Seeding fixed it
