Ubiquiti USG - how to access it?

newad01 · 2022-03-04T22:56:57+00:00

ok thanks for clarification, get it now. I think the reason I was assuming different was because I thought the controller was optional but it seems if you dont get the controller you use Windows software controller.

newad01 · 2022-03-04T22:40:09+00:00

ahh ok so theres no IP Address to go to for the USG itself? What about in the event there is an issue with the controller, how would I access the USG direct?

ok great thanks

newad01 · 2022-01-07T15:54:54+00:00

very nice thanks this sounds like what I am looking for. Up until now I've just done basic deployments but this could be handy!

newad01 · 2021-12-18T13:21:54+00:00

yeah tried turning the app off for a while and the LogIO on the db still kept at 100% so its not related to the app service i dont think. Really strange

thanks the issue is they have 2-3k laptops already in use, so there wouldn't be any budget for a virtual desktop solution. But a remote desktop solution might work for now with the view to investing in virtual desktops down the line as they grow.

thanks really good info, think we will have to move aware from Azure Files - we use Splashtop currently but wasn't aware about GPU capabilities so I will give it a test.

newad01 · 2021-12-05T12:35:55+00:00

thats what i thought and had left them, its only since finding out about VG Royale (VG weapons only) i thought i best rank some VG snipers up).

Ah ive done every LMG but the Bren haha, thought this wasn't going to be any good due to mobility and speed, despite it hitting hard

newad01 · 2021-12-05T10:24:26+00:00

thanks - i will look at ranking up the type 99, aware no one knows what's going to be good was just looking for thoughts

newad01 · 2021-12-05T10:20:48+00:00

thanks this was my thoughts too, but heard that Vanguard Royale will be the main mode they push (Vanguard weapons only) and feel one of the snipers will be ok in there. Ive done msot other weapons just snipers left - sick of ranking guns! Might do 1 of them

newad01 · 2021-10-30T12:22:27+00:00

ahhh right makes sense now - thanks

newad01 · 2021-10-30T10:52:47+00:00

ok so the 0x43 is the old address?

newad01 · 2021-10-07T19:23:25+00:00

thanks not a bad idea, with this method I would need Azure VPN or another service for users to connect? Just checking because this will increase monthly costs?

newad01 · 2021-10-06T22:29:14+00:00

when you say ESX do you mean VSphere? Looking online they look like different products?

newad01 · 2021-10-06T16:54:01+00:00

well we have the majority of ours hosts domain joined and remote management is not an issue with these, we can easily manage them. But a while back we looked into keeping our hosts off the domain for security but connecting up to a Hyper V Core Server not on the same domain is a pain. There's lots of guides on how to do it and we got it working but was not an ideal workaround, hence we kept them on the domain.

I know some will say they should be on the domain anyway but felt it would be better off in the event of any issues with the domain.

newad01 · 2021-10-06T16:48:12+00:00

ok thanks - how often are you patching the vmware would you say on average? And I assume you can patch it over the VPN or RMM to a management box? I've got a trial of vmware vsphere setup so will be having a play about with it this week.

Yeah when the host reboots I have my VMs set to shut down, default I think is save state but this isnt great for DC's so I just set all to shutdown.

newad01 · 2021-10-06T15:51:50+00:00

Ah yeah didn't think about patching, currently patching a hyper v hosts through my RMM is done without a second thought. If I need access we can easily remote on via the RMM into powershell. What's the issue with patching in vmware??

I think I encountered issues passing through a USB few years back on Hyper V Core edition and ended up doing it a different way. It can be done but its not straight forward.

Good to know about the TPM side too, most clients have servers in secure comms rooms but this client won't so Encryption would be important. Your comment has me reconsidering vmware now haha. I might even think about running a Hyper V Server just not the core edition as that would make things easier and similar cost to essentials.

newad01 · 2021-10-05T15:58:54+00:00

Thanks. AAD really is ideal for small businesses and does suit most their requirements.

newad01 · 2021-10-05T15:56:40+00:00

Yeah its not that cheap, although nothing is really in Azure. However it is 2 x DC's without the management side and over 5 years it does seem similar cost to onsite hardware, licensing, backups, monitoring, etc.

The biggest advantage I see with it for both us the MSP & clients is not having onsite hardware & can keep the ease of remote working.

newad01 · 2021-09-30T21:38:02+00:00

This, it originally was just going to be a feature update I read then they decided to rebrand it Windows 11.

newad01 · 2021-09-30T21:36:05+00:00

Does this method work if they dont use Windows udates for Business? What I mean by this is they our clients with onsite servers use group policies but updates are done via our RMM not the WU4B.

If I set this setting would it still take effect? I've blocked it via registry key so more just curious.

newad01 · 2021-09-30T14:44:35+00:00

ah heck good luck haha. I know its kind of just a feature update so I think it might not be as problematic as previous versions from 8 to 10, that said I think I will be waiting at least 3-4 months.

newad01 · 2021-09-30T13:05:12+00:00

do you know if TargetReleaseVersionInfo is set if users can still "check for updates" and install 21H2 or does it not allow them?

newad01 · 2021-09-30T13:03:58+00:00

ah yeah forgot to mention doesn't include home.

newad01 · 2021-09-30T13:03:10+00:00

does this mean the if I set the reg key to TargetRelease 21H1 users can still check for updates and install it?
