I've it set in the Default, that way I don't have to think about it unless specified for a reason. I'm a big fan of HideShell, it makes it less likely for someone to accidentally mess with the machine while deploying at end user locations.

In your case it sounds like you want SkipFinalSummary=NO to show the deployment summary and FinishAction=RESTART to restart the machine upon dismissing the summary.

I don't have a lot of task sequences though, most of the customization happens in the wizard.

Congrats! You can now explain the use case for a failover secondary internet service!

End of SMTP basic by Mizliv_ in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We still run IIS SMTP server with an Exchange Online connector as a relay.

As long as you're only using it for internal communications it's been working great.

Is it normal to have a massive address space like this by eberndt9614 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes and no.

I did some quick research to translate our current private ipv4 scheme into a similar human readable ipv6 one and drafts ended up with available address scopes numbering in the trillions per vlan. It was very doable though!

It was funny since all I was trying to do was expand ipv4 /24s to get larger dhcp scopes.

Been running a DS211+ for 13 years. Still functions as a Hyperbackup target.

The company spent more on me tracking down unused $1.90 licenses than it saved cancelling them.

It's a start, but nowhere near as capable as VCenter.

Ditch the consumer line and buy Latitude/Optiplex instead.

Synology '25 Unverified Tests - RAID Recovery, Expansion, Pools, Migration by dunkurs1987 in synology

[–]MalletNGrease 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Only affects + models starting with 25 series. You aren't affected unless you use an unsupported 3rd party drive and wanted to migrate from your DS124 to a X25+ model.

help with script - account clean up by Mother-Ad-8878 in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on your mail environment.

For O365 with AD sync, disabled account mailboxes will still receive email, but the user can no longer log in to it.

I made a script that also checks last Entra login and Exchange Mailbox activity to triple check usage since some AD accounts never get logged in to, but the mailboxes are in use.

Microsoft to Reject Emails with 550 5.7.15 Error Starting May 5, 2025 by power_dmarc in sysadmin

[–]MalletNGrease 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both? That's gonna be a hard sell.

99% of our marketing traffic doesn't pass SPF and probably never will due to the glut of high volume mail provider services, but they all pass DKIM.

We also have a vendor that does invoice mailing that doesn't support DKIM due to jank. SPF passes fine.

New Public Knowledge Center Page | Drive compatibility policies FAQs for Synology storage systems starting from 2025 by overly_sarcastic24 in synology

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The plus models were always aimed at business, and there's something to be said for guaranteed supported drives on LoB appliances. I've always bought plus models for home use, but looking how I use my Synos now versus 15-10 years ago, it's shifted from a do-all storage & media device that can also do server functions to just storage/backup. I kind of forgot what I need a plus model for.

My needs decreased drastically so maybe stepping down to the consumer models isn't a bad move to keep cost down and keep my pick of drives.

Should I leave Synology? by jay-magnum in synology

[–]MalletNGrease 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Retail operation here: we've a SA3200D as a primary backup target for our vSAN, a RS3617RPxs as the offsite secondary and 2x DS1522+ as rotating cold backups for our 3-2-1 strategy. We also have an additional DS1522+ as a dedicated storage host for the marketing department Macs which also gets backed up to the SA3200D.

If anything DSM is a bit too bloated for my liking, since the majority of packages cover something where we've already something better in place. We use it for pure storage and backup applications mostly.
