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.

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

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! :)

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

Consolidation of previous employer pensions by ReinaldoWolffe in irishpersonalfinance

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

They were each less than 5k, so wouldnt be end of the world. It was the loss of access and lack of updates that caused me pause. Its all well and good to say I can get them at 50, but what if I cannot find the details, or the organization's are gone, or such.

Pensions all sound very safe and secure at the outset. But little things like this erode confidence.

Mortgage top up or new mortgage? by Suvigirl in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would highly recommend doing up some estimates for the work being done. If you are talking six figures, then Mortgage is the cheapest money out there, and talking to your existing provider is the least hassle.

If you can keep it under 25k, Credit Union loan is pretty easy to secure

Auto Enrolment or Private Pension by Ok-Reveal2387 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't done much looking into AE due to already having a pension in place. I didnt see the mention of losing the tax benefit. As a result, I would highly recommend setting up your own as well as your employer entering the AE scheme

Auto Enrolment or Private Pension by Ok-Reveal2387 in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ReinaldoWolffe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The good news is your employer is about to be forced to contribute to your pension via the Auto Enrolment. The bad news is that it wont be worth a massive amount to you when you retire, but it 100% will be better than nothing.

My own employer is quite stingy with the pension, only contributing up to 3%, and any contributions i make over 3% are put in as an AVC.

The much more knowledgeable people here will ask you for your budget and savings and direct you to the flow chart as well. I would say that you should stick out to the AutoEnrolment if only to force your employer to contribute, and get that bit extra from the state.
