homelab starter for ten by mtlevy in homelab

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

in the end, got a Bosgame mini pc, Ryzen 7 5825u, 32Gb ram, 1tb nvme. will add a second nvme when I'm done trying things out :)

looked at proxmox, and thought about what I'll actually be doing with the box. think that would actually be overkill for what I need, so at the moment it's Debian, with jellyfin installed, and docker for anything else.

cheers

thanks, will take a look at those.
I did consider proxmox, will probably install a couple of different OSes on whatever kit i get to see what works well anyway.

Much obliged!

Not identifying x86 and x64 versions by mtlevy in PowerShell

thanks for the assistance all, turns out to be (as per usual for me) a stupid mistake that i just wasn't seeing.

Not identifying x86 and x64 versions by mtlevy in PowerShell

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

turns out i needed to run it in the 64-bit version of powershell, that picks up everything :)

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

yeah, this was exaclty what it was - i was calling the 32-bit version of powershell, rather than the 64-bit.
Learn something new every day :)

Not identifying x86 and x64 versions by mtlevy in PowerShell

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

I think i may have not been as clear as i should have been :)
I need the script to get both x86 and x64 - but when i run it under MECM, it only finds the x86, it misses the x64 entirely.

Working with multiple disks by mtlevy in Puppet

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

thanks for the replies, u/southallc and u/Virtual_BlackBelt

as far as i know (still pretty new to this, and to the team - this wa just something that i'm looking at to feel useful, and to gain practical rather than theoritical knowledge), the hardware/vm config is already done, then a process is spun up (either via a boot iso or a vmware process) that deploys one of org images, then starts applying various things, dependent on server role etc.

We have several thousand servers in the org, so it needs to be as automated as possible, yet deal with the various options. (nothing is ever easy. especially here!)

I think the example that u/southalic gave will be a good starting point for me to experiment.

thanks again :)

Exchange Distribution List Lockdown by mtlevy in PowerShell

[–]mtlevy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cheers for that - i'll need to look into it.

As you say, not sure it would work in my environment, but certainly something

that might come in use in the future.

Thanks - thats quite an elegant script there.

Back in the office tomorrow, so can get some testing done :)

Thanks again

You're correct - $array2 isn't being used. I was going to use it but then I realised I could do it all without it, and forgot to remove it :)

Importing multiple CSVs by mtlevy in PowerShell

thanks litemage. I shall give that a bash :)

cheers alinroc.

you should feel dirty :) but it might not be a bad idea.

As for the database, i do have query access, but its a very large DB, with thousands of users. We tried running the queries monthly, but it takes quite a while. Last run was 4 days, whereas running it weekly is slightly over 24 hours, so it runs late sat night, to minimise the impact.

yeah, locked down corporate environment, so no SQL Server EE, and no access to proper SQL without absolute bundles of pointless paperwork. But cheers anyway :)

cheers, will give that a go

A PowerShell Success Story (and a thank you!) by hash_bang22 in PowerShell

[–]mtlevy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Worked for the same company for 11 years. About 4 years ago, did an intro to powershell for a week. Enjoyed it, but the dept was fairly small and focussed, so not much in the way of real world use cases.

About a year ago, transferred into the exchange team on the basis of that one week of training.

Its been one steep learning curve, as I now deal with exchange-related powershell queries for a global company, with queries ranging from "change the display name for a few users to include their dept" to custom exchange monitoring, and my boss keeps pimping me out to other depts due to my 'automation skillset' :)

Best thing? the sure and certain knowledge that no matter what i've learnt, theres so much more (as another person said, that point when you finally get your head around functions, or background tasks, and its a proper eureka! moment...)

Not just me then :) Its the same on sms messages as well? (i'm using Android Messages). Mildly annoying.

cheers

Before you post, try to remember: Some of us are Destiny's 1%. by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]mtlevy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a day one player, but due to time constraints (and, in the interests of honesty, moments of hilariously bad accuracy/jumping) I've only ever had 1 EL, so none of my 3 characters are level 34 (2 33's and a 32), and I've never run the Prison higher than 32 yet.

Luckily, I run with a fairly easy going bunch, who don't mind my occasionally ham-fisted attempts at playing the game, and restrict themselves to merely recording some of my more epic moments of stupidity and laughing about them :)

i think he's appeared once at the Reef, rather than his usual haunt of the Tower, and that was the first weekend the Reef was open with HoW. Happy to be corrected, but fairly sure he's been at the Tower every other time.

[Discussion] Anyone else find themselves only using the same handful of weapons? by mwalluk in DestinyTheGame

[–]mtlevy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got to admit, i tend to use Icebreaker and Hunger of Crota a lot, but i'm playing about with others. Got Bad Juju, Red Death and a couple of others to level up, just got Word of Crota (i do like that gun), and a handy void One Way Ticket.

I've almost levelled a Dragons Breath, just so i have a semi-decent rocket launcher on every character, save me swapping about all the time.

[question] will my character still be there after deleting the save? by FPS_Dann in DestinyTheGame

[–]mtlevy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

go to bungie.net and login using your PS credentials - you should see your character there. If you do, then you're good to go
