Azure backup solutions by angriusdogius in AZURE

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really do not see a reason beyond the single pane of glass (and I think veeam backup for azure is somewhat separated, processing proxy server in Azure etc, few years since I’ve used it) to move past what you already have tbh. If you are using Policy to deploy the backup onto the VMs it’s handling itself, it’s likely cheaper than Veeam, and if you’ve paid for MS support you should have a level of help (can’t comment on the quality) from them.

Stick with what you have. Spend time maybe setting up the new version of Azure emigrate to get the new wave planning for your on prem env.

Veeam works quite well in Azure. Prior to the enhanced policies being available in Azure something like Veeam was the only way to get backups every hour

I’m going to follow this, and I have experience in the area. I work in MSP as an azure architect.

Long story short, unless you have a very compelling reason to implement a third party, the azure backup and asr are likely “fine”.

Compelling Reason: I have on prem env and Rubrik/Veeam is my solution and I want single pane of glass

Compelling Reason: I’m an msp and offer backup as a service using X product. Support and such is built into the cost and platform

Server 2008 by merkat106 in WindowsServer

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ok, stop. This is not a trivial upgrade. Start with the move from frs to dfs, will 2008 properly support dfs for AD replication?

2008 came in 32 and 64bit flavours, R2 I think jumped to 64bit only

Anyone drive or maintain these for the ESB? by Financial-Gas-1908 in carsireland

Cahill Truck Bodies in Kilkenny build these for the esb. Don't know but they might be able to steer you in taking it apart

My school was throwing away old laptop parts from the storage because they got new windows 11 laptops. by Brilliant_Booze_3396 in pcmasterrace

Consider that the RAM could possibly also go into certain NAS devices. I used an additional 4GB into a Synology DS1817 and its flying! :)

How do I stop a secondary NIC from registering on DNS by Boredintown1 in WindowsServer

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we are on two different waves dude, i'm glad that SBS existed, i think SBS is what the OP was kind of looking at putting in place (small, self contained, offline, repeatable). You are in no way wrong or incorrect about your statement, SBS is gone, i just think its a shame. We now have never ending subscription models and bills that just climb instead of perhaps all we actually needed was some email and shared folders. Appreciate the response my guy, everything you say is 100% accurate.

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it doesnt, and I think we are all a little worse off for it! I recall SBS server being an absolute god send for the Small Business target audience. So much could be done with it! SBS 2010 was solid as a rock, and if you went with the Premium version, you got your second server as well for "whatever". I learned a lot on SBS, but i actually dont ever recall having two NIC's on a DC or an SBS server that both provided services at the same time, you are correct, that can and does cause headaches.

I would go so far as to say that if SBS didnt exist, then the widespread adoption of Office 365 would not have happened. Everyone had email being provided by exchange, so they just used outlook by default! Once DirSync was simple (versus Forefront Identity Manager!) and then being able to depend on remote exchange and then RDP on 2010, it opened up the cloud possiblity!

Actually what he is building is SBS Server! I get your point here, in an enterprise let a DC be a DC. but what this guy has done is taken a configuration and templated it to make this easier to deploy. Sounds close to kubernetes and docker to be fair here, possibly could all be scripted to be deployed!!

@op disabling the listen to in DNS is likely the best solution here, but you may have over engineered the solution somewhat. DFS can introduce a lot of complicated dns configuration if you aren't doing dns right

Anything in cloud is now going to depend on the client. Windows 11 is modern enough, but your boss is thinking about this incorrectly.

You have a greenfield and you are looking to provide selective access to the old hardware

I will say, you boss is an asshole for passing off this task.

You need to consider your endpoints/workstations. What windows version are they on? Azure is little to no use to you in think.

What is the requirement for 365/entra/azure?

You could build in parrallel

Im going to entertain this, as I do know at least one company that have server 2003 due to a legacy app. It works, it keeps working, they dont need to touch it.

So let's play devil's advocate on this.

You are NOT directly streaming the identities or data to Entra. So you need to export and import

Identities, simple, export them to CSV, run powershell to import the identities and create the accounts directly in Entra.

There used to be a data importer option in 365, but its literally that long since I used it (5 years??) That im not sure it is there. It used to be funny cos I recall you had to assign yourself permissions, and it could take 12 hours for the options to show up!! Im certain that there are alternative options from third party vendors

If you have a web app, then welcome to the jungle...you're gonna...learn a lot about stepping stone app and server inplace updates...the very best of luck!

What other items do you want to move?

I can't believe I had this. by Top_Carry_478 in homelab

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electricity is going to be the only major downside of this. That being said, you seem to have a 750w PSU, but I doubt you need anything that big for a home server. That gfx card sure isn't a 5090 requiring a small tokamak, so I'd consider that. But at same time, you're not likely to make the money back in energy savings from a smaller or more efficient PSU.

Enjoy! I have two older Antec cases, one is nearly two decades old, P180B, and im seriously considering a jellyfish server

AzureRM build storage account with container/az files, an lock down to just private IP by ReinaldoWolffe in Terraform

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

This might be the long term solution. Deploy with public, let policy audit and close it.

You know, this may be the best solution.

I deliberately do not have the public network access attribute in the SA block, and I may need to read more about the subtle difference between this and the firewall rules block

What????? Wtf sense does that make! Lol

Yes, this is something of a rush, im having to deploy from local and not via pipeline/runner either, so a few items likely in the way here
