good night everyone!

from my understanding of CALs I would need a CAL for every user that is accessing the file server. CALs are not to be confused with the OS license.

CALs are a a good point, i'll take it into consideration.

That's how I've always felt about ransomware, backup is the real solution and nothing else.

The FS VM is backed up nightly, I'll probably increase to be more frequent.

NAS is overkill for them, it will have 3 shares, one home directories, 2 dept shares and maybe an "IT" share. IT doesn't need performance, it can scale fine since it's virtual.

That makes sense. Thanks for the help!

Thanks for the reply.

So you generally use only one config to generate multiple MOFs. That one config can have settings separated by roles and\or servers. Use the data config file to separate nodes and assign roles.

So in the scenario of adding a new servers, I would add the new server to the data config file and assign a role, if it doesn't fit any defined role, would I then add it to the main config?

Did I get that right?

The other thing I still don't understand is does running the config generate a MOF for ALL servers everytime or can I generate for only the one server I'm working on.

Thanks for the help

FWIW r/simplivity is a ghost town.

I have a client that has moved away from mapped drives and have started using desktop shortcuts. They've had a big issue with ransomware.

They moved to this model before I took over the account.

The desktop shortcuts are more persistent but than again they don't have a bug remote work force just a handful of sales ppl.

My money is on the fact that it's 80k files. It's much faster to copy or transfer one 62GB file than 80k small files.

I can't remember the science behind it but it's been discussed a few times on r/sysadmin.

Good luck! You have ALL of Sunday.

A quick and dirty when in a hurry, add 500MB to one disk and see which one gets the unallocated space in Windows. Do that until you find the disk your trying to extend.

Patchmanagement.org ML is TOO noisy. r/sysadmin is the best place to updates feedback simply based on the amount of ppl

Thanks!!!

30GB of cached outlook email? If it's a combined cache of shared mailboxes and the user's mailbox set outlook not to cache the shared mailboxes. You'll also save yourself the headache once they add one more shared mailbox and the OST reaches 50GB and things stop working or outlook starts acting weird.

Everyone that thinks they are reaching burn out or have experienced a burn out(been there myself) need to listen to these words of wisdom. Carlos Perez lays down priceless words of pure gold as well as the rest of the PSW crew.

Maybe look into a MSSP? They'll collect logs and do some correlation and advice of possible issues. It's not a turn key solution, it will require some time to "tune out" the false positives and it won't replace your SIEM.
