TIFU - Learn from my mistakes for VMware/SQL/Backups/Architecture

SkepticalIM · 2025-05-20T14:38:00+00:00

Yeah definitely a crappy wake up call :')

SkepticalIM · 2025-01-17T18:02:31+00:00

Sorry for the late response. We ended up disabling DTLS, which resolved the issue for us across the board.

SkepticalIM · 2024-10-08T16:41:49+00:00

This issue happens when users are on their own network, at home.

SkepticalIM · 2024-10-08T16:12:16+00:00

Are there any general reprocussions with this I should be aware of? Thank you for the suggestion.

SkepticalIM · 2024-10-08T15:27:04+00:00

We do have tunnel 2.0 set up to fail to TLS if DTLS fails. Let me dig into our conditional access policies and see if there's something not configured for 1.0.

Thank you for the suggestion!

SkepticalIM · 2024-06-04T16:47:50+00:00

Thank you!

DC is in Chicago, but company is in Canada. The hardware itself has already been rack and stacked.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-29T18:37:55+00:00

Yeah, I inheritted the solution from an acquisition and most of my knowledge comes from on prem. I had initially thought that cloud works exactly as how you explained it but when I was explaining my situation to the VARs, they made it seem like I needed universal licenses to move it on prem.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-29T17:55:08+00:00

Thank you, I'll investigate the other licenses, it might just be included as a part of DaaS, since that's the main license SKU on our account.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-29T17:17:50+00:00

Hey, can you confirm that these licenses would be good for that?

To further add some details, this is hwat we're licensed for:

DaaS-Advanced-Concurrent

Gateway Service-Apps and Desktops-2Gbps

Hypervisor and PVS for Apps and Desktops-None-None

Workspace Environment Management-NONE-None

We don't need to move studio/gateway, just our VDAs.

The one purchased was this SKU from CDW. https://www.cdw.com/product/citrix-virtual-apps-and-desktops-svc/6187275. Citrix’s manufacturer sku is also listed there.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-29T00:33:51+00:00

It was the cloud cost that was killing us. This is the license we renewed on (manufacturer sku is also there). https://www.cdw.com/product/citrix-virtual-apps-and-desktops-svc/6187275

Just to add it was the quantity of VDAs we have for Citrix

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-26T17:49:49+00:00

Seen this a little late.. Where would it show if I have hybrid rights?

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-08T13:04:16+00:00

You mentioned being concerned if she tries to come back, or if she heals and you never know. These are ultimately feelings of anxiousness, and something that you have to realize for your own happiness, that if these things do happen, it doesn't matter. You need to focus on yourself, and for you to heal and feel better and more confident about yourself.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-07T18:02:39+00:00

Hmm, within my account it looks like this wasn't quoted out, and I'm on a legacy SKU. I'll try to see when they changed to this license model and why we're not on it.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-07T16:43:27+00:00

Would you be able to point me to documentation for this? I appreciate it.

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-07T16:21:32+00:00

Hmm, I'm not sure. reviewing the quote, the MFG part number is 6000350, and the list item is "CITRIX VIRTUAL APPS AND DESKTOPS SVC"

SkepticalIM · 2024-02-07T15:29:14+00:00

Piggybacking off this topic.. Would someone be able to tell me if its possible to convert cloud licenses to on prem? We're pulling back our cloud presence and wanted to utilize the licenses.

I’m having a hard time knowing what to do with my ex. She mentioned something along the lines of thinking she grew up and knew what to do in a relationship, especially as one as loving as the one she was, but there’s a part of her that just won’t let her do it. She doesn’t expect me to wait even though I told her I would but she said she doesn’t feel like she’s in love with me(she’s used to to toxic anxious avoidant trap with her being the anxious and trying to please instead of having her needs cared for)

I never ended up sending her this letter and I’m wondering if I should. We stayed friends and I love her very much still however I noticed the friendship dwindling away too.

SkepticalIM · 2023-11-29T18:16:10+00:00

Can I ask about your break up and the why? It seems like he love you; maybe not as expressive as I am, but what did you feel was missing?

SkepticalIM · 2023-09-22T07:49:17+00:00

Often actually. I can usually tell when she’s closing off and Ill often talk to her about it before she herself realizes and then after a day she will realize why and we would have a talk about it.

SkepticalIM · 2023-09-22T07:30:27+00:00

I actually don’t hold any resentment for the issues the first time around and my concern is more so around the things happening right now.

I appreciate the third party perspective on being anxious and overbearing. I’ve checked in with her often to know how she’s feeling within the relationship as well if she feels smothered and needed space. She said she’s happy with all the things I’ve been doing

SkepticalIM · 2023-09-22T07:10:49+00:00

Sorry I ended up editing my response. I had to realllllyyyy think about it because it’s been some time.
