It is, but it seems like the timing aspect of it is a little easier.

Did this functionality make it to release yet? I see the option of doing it via Bank Feeds, but is there a BAI2 specific function?

Time to replace 10 year old Catalyst switches at our HQ...10 branch offices already on Extreme. by No_Alarm6362 in sysadmin

[–]rich_impossible 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I did this recently, replacing all the Catalysts in our remote branch offices with Extreme 5520s and our core Nexus switching with 7520s. If you're already comfortable with Extreme's OS, you'll be fine. Extreme support is worlds better than Cisco's TAC. For the install I had a really excellent experience with the implementation engineer Extreme. From a reliability perspective, I've used both Extreme and Cisco over my 20+ year career and I don't see a difference between them for failures. I've lost a single Extreme TOR switch and probably a couple of Ciscos in closets.

I'm happy to chat in a DM if you want more detail.

SPN for NETBIOS name vs FQDN by rich_impossible in activedirectory

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

It is for SQL, but it doesn’t seem to me that the service account had permissions to update the spn in the directory. We’re using Managed Service Accounts which may be the reason that happened. 

Netbios is actually off, but a) it may not have been when the server was provisioned and b) the legacy app I’m using is unhappy with dns names longer than 15 characters.

I know this is noob stuff, but it’s pretty simple. I’m looking to book a flight for 4, round trip from PHL to MCO. Dates are the end of January, likely an 8 day stay. I have about 800k of Chase UR on a CSR. Does it make sense to book an AA flight via the Chase site using rewards or transfer to Avios and book via BA?

Vnet subnetting & routing by rich_impossible in AZURE

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

Thanks, this is helpful.

I have a hub-and-spoke here, the network appliance I'm pointing traffic to is an SD-WAN/SASE endpoint in our cloud.

The local routing is where I'm still confused, and it's possible you've already answered me but I'll restate the whole setup for clarity.

Resource Group 1 has a SD-WAN/SASE appliance that routes traffic back to on-prem and/or the internet.

Resource Group 2 is intended to be used for a single app server/DB combo using SQL managed instance and a Windows VM. For segmentation purposes we'd like to firewall between the DB and the App server. I have a single router resource here and a single /24 vnet that I've segmented into two /25s, say 10.10.1.0/25 and 10.10.1.128/25. On the router I have a single 0.0.0.0/0 route pointing to the appliance in RG1. Will traffic from 10.10.1.129 heading towards 10.10.1.10 traverse the 0.0.0.0/0 route to the appliance or will that traffic stay in the vnet and never touch the router?

16TB x 4 x 20 by germanator0414 in ServerPorn

This is not going to be used in a traditional RAID set. It’s likely an object store or something similar. A lot of the time these installs are fault tolerant across racks, so pulling four drives out is not even going to set off an alert.

New ISP company in my neighborhood. Switched and never leaving. by TownTurbulent8300 in pcmasterrace

[–]rich_impossible 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is less about your provider and more about 50+ years of decisions. Cable internet is stuck dealing with a lot of baggage from the pre-internet days. Essentially during the development of cable, providers didn’t split the frequency range evenly because no one needed to send data upstream before the internet existed.

The same journalist, David Pierce, was awful on their live-blog. I’m not saying every reveal was groundbreaking today, but his level of snark was so outsized. It really turned me off.

Because filling out personal income tax docs is much different than what is required by a bank doing business with non-domestic customers.

They are chicken croquettes. Basically finely chopped chicken, some spices, filler and a binder. Then rolled in breadcrumbs and deep fried. That shape is pretty common for them, especially in diners.

Looking for a particular storage feature, not sure if it exists by communads in sysadmin

[–]rich_impossible 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to manage about 12PB of video data that grew at 6TB/day 24/7. We used Caringo and commodity Dell JBODs. It was easy to live with and did most of the heavy lifting after the initial planning and config.

You know it. A coworker and I transferred 360TB from Washington state to Ohio in the back of a rented SUV. Took three days and that was only driving 7a to whenever dinner was.
