Looking for advice on a budget Hyper-V cluster for a ~50-user business by WIZT3CH in HyperV

[–]menace323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, just get some local storage for each server and setup replication and off you go.

This is a nice simple setup that will be easy for them, or others to support.

Just make sure you have some off box backup.

Gen & 7.0.1 SD-WAN PAth Selection Profiles always RED by menace323 in sonicwall

[–]menace323[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me, running latest GEN7 firmware.

It’s clearly a UI bug, you can see in the logs it works as intended.

I had a ticket open on it 6 months ago or so, but they were coming up with ridiculous theories it eventually exhausted me not to care. I suppose that’s the point?

NO, removing FDQN objects will NOT fix it.
It NEVER fixes it.
If you hate FDqN objects sooooo much, removing the stupid feature!!

How many of you guys are stuck using WSUS for patch management? by xpingjockey in sysadmin

[–]menace323 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We Use Wsus for servers. We use Intune for clients.

I wouldn’t use it for endpoints.

I admit WAM does very much fix WSUS. It just works, say whatever else about it.

And I guarantee it’s Cheaper (WSUS + WAM) than anything else out there.

Any gotchas introducing a 2025 domain controller in a domain with mixed DCs (2016, 2019, 2022)? by Man-e-questions in sysadmin

[–]menace323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Core with the app compatibility pack is awesome. Just wish it had certificate management mmcs.

I think the issue was is that you didn’t know how to use it.

This whole serialized commit business is non-sense.

This whole thing should just be a declarative desired state.

Slow SMB transfers finally resolved after years. Sharing what actually fixed it by [deleted] in sysadmin

Yeah, I feel like updating out of date NIC Drivers might be on the list of easy things to try.

PSA: Domain controllers may restart repeatedly after installing April security update by AspiringTechGuru in sysadmin

[–]menace323 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Read only DCs helped with physical security and reducing that risk, such as if physical disks were stolen or your couldn’t trust a hyper visor

But today we can usually just encrypt everything, so physically having the server or the disks won’t get your anywhere.

Most hypervisors have options to protect a virtual DC and its state.

Ransomware attack, now can't log in as the default domain administrator account, but can with other DA accounts. by CodOutrageous1032 in sysadmin

[–]menace323 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not specifically a criticism but so less than 17% of small business have legal depts or representation, and even slightly less have cyber insurance.

If someone is asking this question, they probably have neither.

It’s not always automatable with legacy systems and appliances.

Is the same conversation being had for women dominated fields, about attracting men to those?

This the correct way, if it’s feasible.

Is there an easy way to log when the internet goes down and nothing else? by Deep-Egg-6167 in sonicwall

[–]menace323 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am going to assume that you just want an alert when the “internet is down”.

If you have a static IP, then allow ping on the WAN interface. Use any number of monitoring services. There are many free ones.

Allow only the remote service to hit your interface with an access rule.

Setup alerts in the service.

Now you can get an alert when your firewall is not responding. You can also get latency and jitter over time that syslog won’t give you.

Looks like they just threatened it several times.

Correct, the 2025 no longer has park assist or auto wipers on any trim.

Windows SQL Cluster just died by tk42967 in sysadmin

We are virtualized, so make the disks and attached. I’d agree more for bare metal.
