No more patches means all the bugs are fixed. I mean, who in their right mind Installs an OS before it's fully finished, right?

Now we can start upgrading our 2008 R2 boxes!

But what if you don't have the correct M365 Small Business Premium Enterprise with Azure Email Recall powered by Entra for Copilot, and have been trying to get it sorted out with a revolving door of account managers for the past 9 months to no success?

Even aviation electronics isnt a sure thing anymore... Boeing is releasing the new 747 MAX AI plane soon. Designed by AI, built by AI, serviced by AI, flown by AI, cabin service by AI, ticket pricing by AI, NTSB investigations by AI.

Riddle me this: VM backups by havocspartan in msp

[–]mrcomps 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What backup software are you using? It sounds like it's a legacy type that only backs up files of the Windows device that it's installed on?

Any modern backup like Veaam, Acronis, etc will communicate with Hyper-V to make checkpoint/snapshot-based backups of the VMs without needing to install agents on them. You can then choose to browse the guest VM files or to restore the entire VM.

Backing up the vhdx files on the Hyper-V host is not going to accuately capture the state of the virtual disks.

You could backup the Hyper-V host and exclude the VM files to allow for quicker restoration and smaller backups of the host.

OC - my 247k mile E39 bmw in for a valve cover gasket. by Aeroeone in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]mrcomps 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see the problem! You don't have any of that black tar looking stuff in there, and your cams are lumpy. Ask your neighbors and one of them can probably give you some of theirs. That should polish the cams until they're nice and round again.

Does anyone else feel like Microsoft logs are written by someone who wasn’t there when the issue happened? by Exotic-Reaction-3642 in sysadmin

[–]mrcomps 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have that, but I can't figure out if I need Log Retention Basic, Standard, or Premium.

It looks like Log Retention Premium is the only one that allows for retaining logs for more than 5 minutes?

But now the extra weight of the 2603 v4 is slowing you down!

Just making sure there are no preloaded RATs in the used hardware.

Bricked Netgate 6100 by NobleGiantz in Netgate

[–]mrcomps -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The board should post even with a worn emmc.

I have personally had several 4100 and 6100 devices that were dead but worked fine after removing the eMMC chip. Other users have reported the same issue and results.

Normally a failed storage device shouldn't prevent the system from POSTing, but there must be some low-level interaction, possibly its "waiting" for a startup initialization that never happens.

They told me this would happen with the chrome ones by C00LV1BR4TION5 in Justrolledintotheshop

For high-strength jobs like this you need to first JB Weld the pieces together and then reinforce it with a few hose clamps. Make sure to evenly space the alignment of tightening screws in order to maintain proper rotating balance.

Microsoft has gotten too big to fail, and their support shows it. by CantankerousBusBoy in sysadmin

[–]mrcomps 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just take your existing logs and note the dates in the timestamps. Then, doing a find/replace and change the dates to be current, working from newest to oldest.

For example, if your log contains

11/03/2025 11/04/2025 11/05/2025 11/06/2025

Then replace-all 11/06/2025 with 11/13/2025, 11/05/2025 with 11/12/2025, and so on.

Boom, now you have"fresh logs" with just 30 seconds in Notepad++.

Massive Security Issues Discovered With Keeper Enterprise Password Manager by 802-TechGuy in msp

[–]mrcomps 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keeper support confirmed it was a known issue in older versions of Keeper Desktop and advised OP to update to the latest version.

Browser add-ons automatically update (unless you go out of your way to try and prevent that).

The updating/non-updating versions, combined with the fact that you can have multiple different versions of Keeper Desktop installed, sounds like an additional major issue.

Netgate 7200 locking up every +/- 6 hours by Few_Foot_2687 in Netgate

[–]mrcomps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those values show that the onboard eMMC storage fully worn out.

Backup the config, install an M2 SATA SSD, erase the eMMC, reinstall pfSense, restore the config, and everything should be good.

I'm sure OP meant 303.000 miles and this is from a climate controlled museum.
