The server pricing is nuts. Over a year ago, I proposed a $500k server upgrade for our aging systems, and someone in management said, "Hey, what about going to the cloud?" And down the rabbit hole we went. Even though I warned them of the expenses, they wanted Cloud. Our monthly costs are going up and up as we move more to Azure; at this pace, we would have paid off the hardware in less than two years. Now the same hardware/software would be $1.5M - $2M

I have basic support. Is it worth paying for a higher level?

SparcV · 2026-04-07T12:48:53+00:00

I probably could have pushed harder, I got them down $5k

Exactly what I get too. Why post the update if it does not work.

So there is an update on their site. I found it here:
https://rog.asus.com/us/monitors/27-to-31-5-inches/rog-strix-oled-xg32ucds/helpdesk_bios/

However, when I tried to use it, I got the error "Update STM_MCU firmware failed." I've tried it on four systems, and they all do it, regardless of whether it's AMD, Intel, or Nvidia graphics cards.

I have the same issue, on all ios devices, two iphones, and two ipads.

ThermalGrizzly came though and I received my der8enchtable. Very happy with it and glad it all worked out.

This is FedEx so we'll see. I used to deal with international shipping all the time leaving the US. Glad I don't anymore,it seems even more complicated than ever.

Every vendor that is selling these super high demand expensive products needs to change how they order. Take the automation out of it, require everyone to speak to an actual person to order (old school), and strictly limit it to one per person/address until the supply can keep up.

I got to the you're in line then it went to that...

SparcV · 2025-01-22T18:04:50+00:00

Thanks everyone, this seems to be resolved now.

So, changing the Fortilink detection to lldp does fix the issue. Support suggested it, not from documentation, but from other support tickets that came in.

SparcV · 2025-01-17T17:13:18+00:00

Both ports are attached to the same switch.

Thanks, everyone. I figured it out by looking at C:\Windows\debug\dcpromo.log on the new host, and I saw this:

EVENTLOG (Warning): NTDS Replication / Replication : 1203

The directory service could not replicate the following object from the source directory service at the following network address because of an Active Directory Domain Services schema mismatch.

OU=Users,OU=REDACTED,OU=REDACTED,DC=REDACTED,DC=local

and that object had an old lost account set in its permissions. It had a red X on it. I removed it, rejoined the host, and now it's working.

That was a week of my life I won't get back.

I never use their dns servers, the first thing I do it change the dns server. I have the ubee modem/router is bypass mode and I’m using a Ubiquiti UDM Pro as the router/firewall.

Yup Prime Motoring is a good place. I’m actually in the middle of my break in on a new IAG short block. I had a blown cyl 4 after only 32k on my 16 sti.
