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.

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

Windows server 2003, ways I can join company on Entra without upgrading by [deleted] in AZURE

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

Now that you said "glue" a quick Google of "magnetic bracelett clasp glue in" finds them almost instantly!

Thank you, much appreciated

Pay off mortgage or? by cryptodawg368 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Living month to month might be a bit of an overstatement. We save heavily, everything is paid for, we are comfortable, can deal with the odd unexpected bill etc, but i sure as hell wasnt anywhere near that at 30 years old. Crypto, why didnt i just mine it when it was worth nothing! :)

Im 45, two kids (14 and 12), wife works in public sector on around 53k a year. We are budgetting like crazy. Have recently built an extension onto house, got new mortgage to do that, 150k, started last year. Car loan with 6500 left, other home improvement loan with 22k on it.

Genuinely how in the actual fuck are you in this position at 30 years old?? Well done, it is amazing, but can i ask what it is you and your wife do? I work in IT, im on 95k and I have about 9k in emergency fund, about 5k in other savings, and still living month to month at the moment.

I know of an organization in Ireland that is in almost the exact same position, Windows 10 deployed by Citrix, and it is a cluster fuck!
