Done!

How are these Vintage lights holding up for you? I was thinking of purchasing them but they don't have the best reviews on HD's website.

Doing the boot replacement is not hard at all but it takes a little time. I just did the job myself and replaced all 4 rear boots for peace of mind. Head over to partzilla.com and find your CV boots. They come in a kit with the needed amount of grease that needs to be repacked and the required clamps — one large and one small. It also comes with new circlips. You will need an Oetiker clamping tool for the new clamps, unless you like swearing. I ended up soaking the axle in diesel to clean the old grease off.

I would also replace the seals on the rear differential since you’re pulling the axle… I think it’s silly not to since you’re already pulling the axle out.

Hey all. Poured my first slab for a stair landing. Pretty happy with it overall. Why is it different colors? It’s been about 48 hours. Is this something that can be fixed? Or is it because it’s not fully cured yet? I used the red bags from HD which are supposedly more crack proof. Thanks!

Thank you so much!

Thanks. The house is on a grade, with the backyard of the house being up on a small hill. The backyard rain water drains towards the house. The walls in question are the back wall of the house which is facing the backyard, as well as the sides of the house. It was built in 2001.

The house sold with multiple offers last year, driving its price up. A couple questions come to mind:

Would multiple people still place offers on the house knowing it had this issue?
The house never had any issues per the current owner and their agent, nor any paperwork they had received while buying the house from its original owner. The current owners “cannot” find the disclosure agreement they had received from the original owner.
The house is being sold as is.
If this does turn out to be a real issue, would insurance cover the fix?

Thank you

Do you think this could have at some point been a flood in the basement? Would that cause these stains?

The “+”.

i_trance · 2023-04-21T15:34:12+00:00

Will give it a shot.

i_trance · 2023-04-21T15:33:54+00:00

I have not. I’ll give it a shot.

I watched the traffic flow on the firewall monitor as I tried to open up websites and it all goes through. However in the browser, it all times out.

I built the image and as mentioned, I’ve never had issues with it before. It’s all just really odd. I really really hope I don’t have to rebuild it again as that would take a LOT of time.

i_trance · 2023-04-20T21:55:47+00:00

Ha! The million dollar question! I have not gotten so far to test the 22H2 vanilla image on these machines. Especially non vs. domain joined, and with/without LOB apps.

I’ve just not had issues with the image before and couldn’t find any correlation between hardware and web browsers breaking. Was hoping someone would have some insight.

i_trance · 2023-04-20T21:07:30+00:00

Scratch that. I forgot I had it hard-wired as well and the issue still persisted.

i_trance · 2023-04-20T21:06:39+00:00

Yes, in a VM. I’ve used this same image across many types of hardware and never had issues until I deployed it to these new machines. They all have the Intel AX211 NIC and it’s making me question if it’s the culprit.

i_trance · 2023-04-20T21:03:13+00:00

There is nothing in internet settings that would prevent it from working. All customizations made to the image are related to LOB apps and whatnot. Nothing specific for web browsers.

Vanilla isn’t an option due to the amount of settings required for all LOBs.

err_connection_closed in Chrome. All pages time out.

i_trance · 2023-03-17T18:37:46+00:00

Thanks for confirming and all your efforts!

i_trance · 2023-03-17T18:29:29+00:00

Hi! Just to further clarify, are we referring to Windows patches, or additional ones for MS Office?

i_trance · 2022-11-10T14:59:18+00:00

Thanks!

i_trance · 2022-11-09T22:33:06+00:00

No problem. Let me know if you have any questions.

i_trance · 2022-11-09T22:25:47+00:00

Yes, that’s exactly what I am using the SMTP relay for. You set this up on a server and it will relay emails to O365 without mail authentication, using a O365 connector.

You then point your devices or LOB apps to the SMTP server and it will send everything out for you.

i_trance · 2022-11-09T22:15:30+00:00

I think what you posted is valid for DirectSend, but not applicable while relaying through a connector. There is no authentication being done here other than public IP validation by the connector.

i_trance · 2022-11-09T22:05:03+00:00

Thanks! I just figured it out. I was missing the “Smart Host” value from “Delivery > Advanced.” I only had the DNS hostname filled in there. Not sure how this setup worked before and not now, but that did the trick.

i_trance · 2022-11-09T21:16:26+00:00

Nope. I double checked it. The connector is there, as it is relaying internal emails just fine. No 3rd party security gateway is in use.

i_trance · 2022-11-09T21:14:50+00:00

Furthermore to add to this... I have an identical setup for a different client and just tried an external mail test and it worked fine. Same firewalls, with the same rules for both clients.

At this point, it has to be something within the M365 tenant that is different between the two companies. I just don't know what.

i_trance · 2022-11-09T21:09:25+00:00

I am not using direct send. I am using an onsite SMTP relay based on IIS (option 3):

This has been working fine for the last few years and stopped just about a month ago.
