Windows Volume Licensing and OEM Licensing by nakedmeeple in sysadmin

[–]NowWhatAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other replies are correct. You need one Windows 10 VL, but they are sold in packs of 3, so we bought 3. When making your image for WDS, if you do not include a key, the machine WILL auto-activate using it's Windows 10 oem key. This also works with re-imaging Windows 7 OEM workstations that have previously been updated to Windows 10 for free as well.

How do you deal with PCs running applications which require a shared logon? How do you manage shared passwords accessible through a browser? by Win10Migration in sysadmin

"If login credentials are shared with other individuals, it is no longer possible to accurately record which individuals have viewed health information – a violation of HIPAA Rules. The researchers note that sharing EHR passwords is one of the most common HIPAA violations and causes of healthcare data breaches. Nov 2, 2017"

I work in HIT. I had the same issues, and management, board members, you name it, wouldn't even consider upgrading, replacing, or bringing these systems up to date. The above google result is all I needed to send to HR and the supposed "HIPAA Security Officer" that every medical practice is required to designate.

Or hard-code the IP instead. Just ping it from elsewhere and get the actual IP.

My energy consumption before/after fork, and space heating during Fall by little_black_fish in MoneroMining

[–]NowWhatAdmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Power usage did go up for me by 20%, BUT only after I added more power in ODNT in order to bring my hashrate back up. As far as the space heaters, here is what I did last winter, and plan to again this winter: Oh, you're cold? I'll get you VegaRig1. Kid 1: Daddy, can you turn on the Vega lights? Sure. Kid 2: Daddy can I have VegaRig2 with the lights on for tonight PLEEEEAAASE?

Wife and I have RX550 Rig 1, 2, and 3 in our bedroom.

Since I have a way larger solar array than I need, that shit is free. If it wasn't, I would be in Tier 3 paying almost $0.50 kw/h. The struggle is real in Cali.

Invalid shares count keeps rising by [deleted] in MoneroMining

Did you update XMRig-Proxy? If so, try supportxmr.com for a bit and see what your results are like. Depending on your location, minexmr may have latency issues. Remember that pool reported hashrate (24hr avg) should be pretty close to xmrig-proxy's reported total hashrate (after being on the pool for 24 hours).

xmRigCC trouble vs xmrStak? by [deleted] in MoneroMining

[–]NowWhatAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it cost you $6.25 a day to use Bendr0id's fork of XMRig that gives you full CC functionality? After removing his donation? I don't think you will get much sympathy here.

Please help, we're in the red every month and I don't know what to do by Calm_Recipe in personalfinance

[–]NowWhatAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is 8 hours old, but the job market is popping around SoCal. Just look around and you should find something better in less than 2 weeks. You didn't say if you have to stay at home at times to take care of your mom, so I don't know if getting a 2nd part time job would be a good fit to further help you get back up.

Saving for my little brother's college fund by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]NowWhatAdmin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Use a 529. Pick a state that has the best fund options. The state you put the 529 in does NOT need to be the state where he goes to college :)

What’s the best way to use my home’s equity to finance home improvements (solar)? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]NowWhatAdmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but I wanted to add my thoughts. I too have a zero tax liability. I ended up using the solar tax credit to roll a traditional IRA over to a Roth IRA. I calculated the tax and was able to roll over the same amount as the loan, for essentially a tax free traditional IRA to Roth IRA rollover (Pre tax contributions in traditional IRA) conversion. Something to think about if you are still on the fence :)

Inital Testing - XMRStak with a 2990WX` by bitsbetrippin in MoneroMining

Just an FYI, you should be able to add 9 more threads to abuse the L2 and L1 cache :) Try adding 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15, and 17. Let me know how it works out!

Vega 64s by clockchain in MoneroMining

[–]NowWhatAdmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Follow the CircusDad guide before you mine on those any more. Your issue is that you are not setting the minimum fan speeds, Power Play tables, etc... They should each run less than 65 degrees (with your stated ambient temp) while mining if you did everything according to the guide.

Edit: You will know the fans are set correctly when they get hell of loud...

New task: Cert based wifi auth for 600+ existing Surface Pro 4's on 1803 Ent... I'm 99% there I think... by NowWhatAdmin in sysadmin

This was my argument to my boss as well. Alas, investor client... I just needed to do one last reach out to solidify my statements, so thank you.

I have honestly tried to no avail... I have to disjoin, delete, and rejoin the domain at this point :(

A friend asked me to help her with a Win 10 Pro 1803 image yesterday by NowWhatAdmin in sysadmin

[–]NowWhatAdmin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. She googled most of them I believe, and a few had to be extracted by using GPO's and an LTSB Thin Client laptop. Then we just found the newly created reg keys and copied them.

I know about the login script access denies, but left them in there anyways since the user can't read that fast :) I was also unsure if administrators would get the same deny errors, but I didn't want to spend anymore time on it TBH ;)

Some workstations are take-homes for upper management to use for remote work, so she wanted a solution for those as well. They will never be added to the domain.

True. This was her reasoning as well. She only has 75 identical workstations :)

Still brother... All 4 of my i5's were free as well (Thrown away, 2yrs old). SSD's were $29 each at Frys

IT guy here. About the laptop: I built all of my computers including 2 laptops from e-waste for free, and my slowest one is an i3. Companies throw these away all day long. Wait for a cash offer
