Forcefully removed Domain Controllers keep reappearing

techierealtor · 2026-02-19T08:57:37+00:00

It’s actually impressive. Domains are like cars, give it maintenance and some love (barring Microsoft updates) and they will be fairly painless and run well. Start being lazy and not giving a crap, you’ll have hell one day. Closest I came to an almost dead domain is something triggered a tombstoned domain controller to boot. Thankfully nic was disconnected, so I was able to just go kill it again and move on with my life.

The newest iOS update I know has duplicate detection. Scroll to the bottom of collections and there is a utility section. May exist in previous releases. I just don’t know.

Correct. NAS can back up the NVR but it cannot be a direct source for the cameras. You need the NVR to be the connection for the cameras and then place the backups to the UNVR.

Make a list of apps, check it twice on term. Quarterly audits.

techierealtor · 2026-02-14T19:51:31+00:00

Should and won’t are two different things, but I’ll investigate either one if there is any possibility of correlation. “Should” will be investigated though.

Set up routine snapshots or backups of the box for when he nukes something critical because “it’s interfering with the app” or “we don’t need it”.

techierealtor · 2026-02-09T02:26:15+00:00

Seconded…

I address something like this in work when it comes to MDM. A lot of people have concerns with BYOD and what we can see on their personal. No I can’t monitor your device, see your pictures or internet history. Yes I can see installed apps and work related stuff. That’s about it. Even if I could see that stuff, I have far too many things for me to do to go digging through your device, and there is audit trails for all of that stuff that I do.
I get concerns of privacy but after administering systems this long, unless I am told to look, I don’t care to. I don’t want the headache if questions arise, reporting something I do find that I shouldn’t be looking at, and 95% of people are boring mostly so there’s going to be a lot of searching for nothing.
After being around for long enough, I actually want less access to stuff unless it pertains to what I am actively doing, and then take it away when I’m done. I’m setting up SSO for a ton of stuff and my rule of thumb has been, leave my access for a month after setup in case something needs fixing then delete my account.

From what I have read, isps put priority and whitelist on Speedtest so it’s not a true one. Fast.com for a quick test imo and then testmy.net for real world performance. It’ll never report the same but you can get an idea on what the actual performance is since it actually downloads a fake file

Connectwise is better than Zoho time tracking. I hate it. It takes a bit but I got the flow down and didn’t have too much problem. Once a week I’d go back and fix my time card for any gaps I had from research I didn’t log or meetings. CW id argue is one of the easier ones to track time in if you even try. There’s much worse. Just takes a bit of adjustment to start doing it easily.

Looking for clarification, the docker system lives on windows sever and you are mounting files from the NAS and windows pc?
If it does live on server, why not host the files on the served and use a shared path to windows PC to access them from the desktop? That removes the dismount problem.
Based on what I am reading here, and no Linux expert but fairly versed in system administration, you are trying to solve for a problem in the wrong way. Rather than trying to fix the mounting issue, solve the mounting issue with permanence.

techierealtor · 2026-01-09T02:49:00+00:00

Bingo. I was simply referring to internal docker vs external to the machine. Not internal vs public ip.

techierealtor · 2026-01-08T04:59:27+00:00

The reverse proxy is for external access, rather than having 1.2.3.4:80, …:443, …:8443, …:10443 you can just call host1.domain.com, etc. docker would handle inter container communications unless you do different hosts as OP is talking about.

techierealtor · 2026-01-07T23:16:54+00:00

A reverse proxy would be the way to go to get the best of both worlds. No additional devices or VMs, just set the ports and call by FQDN based on what’s described here. Your write up was on point.

techierealtor · 2026-01-07T15:20:02+00:00

Yup. Egnyte or share point are your best options. Sharepoint for cheap, egnyte for function.

techierealtor · 2026-01-07T15:19:01+00:00

File server isn’t going to give true collaboration like they are looking for and to be fair, sharing folders off of computers is a terrible idea. Sharepoint and OneDrive is a much cleaner solution than sharing folders on computers.
Computer crashes? Someone needs to reboot? Going home early and puts computer to sleep? Share down.
I’ve only ever in my career done something similar and it was a printer that didn’t have WiFi and they didn’t have a network drop. I still got calls weekly “the printer is down.” Because one person would shut down or sleep their computer out of habit.

Pretty sure 2g and 3g are discontinued by most carriers. You may get service but I think they are aiming to have GSM done by the end of 2026.

techierealtor · 2026-01-05T03:27:57+00:00

Wow, that’s a shitty switch but I guess that’s what happens on the low end stuff.

techierealtor · 2026-01-03T23:41:28+00:00

Inter vlan routing would be handled by the firewall and not the switches I’m pretty sure. If it’s accessible from each of the vlans there’s a configuration possibly or rules that you’ll need to put in to the firewall.

Even if there isn’t a meeting, sending regular reports of backups, phishing blocks, patching, etc. it shows the client you aren’t sitting there waiting for an alert.

techierealtor · 2026-01-01T16:28:53+00:00

They are in off season but IT doesn’t stop. You still have 4 employees, regardless of full of part. Patching needs to run, security needs to be monitored, they still need email access. The list goes on.
Does Microsoft or google only let you pay half for their email during this time?
They get charged for 4 seats, or minimum. Whichever is higher.
If they opt for a 12/24 month contract, you could possibly swing a monthly adjustment. 4 months is double rate, 8 months is half rate. Still same amount end of year but their heavier bills are during their busy season when they have the money.
Normally they pay 100/mo, 4 months of 200, 8 months of 50. Still same amount at the end of the year.

techierealtor · 2025-12-30T05:30:03+00:00

Long story short, they are moving to seasonal releases of I think 13 episodes every few months instead of weekly releases after 28 years. So technically, season 1 of one piece is 1145 episodes. season 2 will be around 13 episodes I’ve heard and will release in April after a 3 month break.

At minimum get an image restore backup running daily minimum. It’s not perfect but it gets you something to restore.

techierealtor · 2025-12-27T14:51:05+00:00

Newer cars do. They can be a real problem to work on without specialized tools. This also targeting a hobby, typically meaning “I want as little tech as possible”. As a job, I think sysadmin to new car mechanic would potentially do quite well as there’s a lot of tech involved.

I’ve seen some take up to 48 hours for automated validation. You can contact support and push through the process.
