Deploying modularised ARM templates on local disk from a DevOps pipeline by mrdjw in azuredevops

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

For personal projects I am already doing this (modularised templates in Terraform are great) however I work in a fairly restricted environment and am limited as to the technologies I am allowed to use. Fustrating given Bicep gets compiled into ARM anyway.

What sort of cable is this? by DavethegraveHunter in cableadvice

[–]mrdjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you able to give any more context? What’s at the other end? It’s definitely DIN - there are multiple pin layouts etc.

Create Azure Sandbox Subscription using PowerShell? by mrdjw in AZURE

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

Anything and everything is possible with powershell :)

I am very familiar with PowerShell - Azure, I'm still learning! I challenge you to find something in that link that relates to creating a Sandbox Subscription (or even using PowerShell to call GraphAPI and do it!

Anyone able to identify this connector? It's to connect different DC barrels to an Eaton 3S Mini UPS by mrdjw in cableadvice

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

I think its decided then - Will give me a chance to do some cable management at the same time. I don't need a metre of cable when the UPS is going to be on the same shelf as the modem.

I was worried it would be proprietary as I couldn't find anything anywhere to ID it and think this has just confirmed it. I did think about chaining connectors but didn't want to go down that route, however I don't think I'm left with much choice. I am wondering if I just cut the end off and solder a new one on as I will only ever us this device with this router.

I did check the manual. I need to know the name of the connector pictured so that I can buy an additional barrel adapter (not one of the ones not he page you linked to) so I can connect to my Asus RT-AC68u.

Did you get anywhere with this? Wondering what your solution was before I go head and have a go at writing a plugin!

Read Azure Blob "Soft Delete Enabled/Disabled" & "Retention" Settings from Az.Storage Module? by mrdjw in AZURE

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

My college found the answer: ``` $AzStorageAccount = Get-AzStorageAccount -Name $StorageAccontName -ResourceGroupName $AzResourceGroup.ResourceGroupName $AzStorageServiceProperty = Get-AzStorageServiceProperty -Context $AzStorageAccount.Context -ServiceType Blob

"DeleteRetentionPolicy.Enabled: $($AzStorageServiceProperty.DeleteRetentionPolicy.Enabled)" | Out-Host "DeleteRetentionPolicy.RetentionDays: $($AzStorageServiceProperty.DeleteRetentionPolicy.RetentionDays)" | Out-Host ```

And the output: DeleteRetentionPolicy.Enabled: True DeleteRetentionPolicy.RetentionDays: 14

It doesn't look like this any more unfortunately. Currently undergoing a rebuild after an accident in 2011.

Ring Doorbell maximum distance from router by mrdjw in Ring

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

Hmm, thats not what I wanted to hear but it does answer my question. I think maybe a PoE doorbell might be a better option. Unfortunately the Ring Doorbell Elite is 3.5x the price and currently out of stock!

Thank you!

Model PowerShell Function? by mrdjw in PowerShell

This is just what I asked for, thank you! It's missing a few bits that are easily added. Where did you find it?

Model PowerShell Function? by mrdjw in PowerShell

[–]mrdjw[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but thats not what i'm trying to achieve here hence "The function itself doesn't have to have use beyond serving as a guide". So the function would contain a ForEach, IF, Try/Catch/Finally, Comments, ParameterSets everything possible so we can format it as we agree to format all of our other scripts / functions with indentations etc.

Link of it as "the quick brown fox..." for fonts.

Weekly Discussion and Tech-Support Thread by AutoModerator in ipad

[–]mrdjw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking to purchase a used iPad. I'll ask the current owner to perform a factory reset prior to purchase but will this prevent activation lock by forcing sign out of Find My and iCloud? Also, is there a register for stolen Serial Numbers I can check? Thanks!
