I finally was able to have a working osTicket on Fedora.

Have not see that issue but I'm also using mongodb that is available from Fedora instead.
/var/lib/mongo/ doesn't exist for me. But /var/lib/mongodb does exist. I also do have local.ns too.

CentOS 7 can be installed using Generation 2 unless Pandora FMS is a strip-down version of CentOS 7.

@obsolesce Yeah you can't argue with wordpress either. You can basically have the hosted version up and running in a few minutes. If you just use it for documentation and not a web site then you can't beat that for ease of use and accessing it everywhere.

I agree too. But for documentation, bookstack is so much smoother than making Wordpress into a wiki.

Sound like you will need to install Linux Integration Services.

awesome.. ok, thanks, will try that. Didn't even thought about this, because it's available in the stock Ubuntu ISO which is what I normally use.

Technically, you can install the tools that's available in CentOS but it will be an very old version.

Marco Polo on NF. Despite wild historical inaccuracy, story is pretty good. A bit like Shogun but in China.

Theres a spin off too. Its called Marco Polo: One Hundred Eyes.

@hobbit666 said in Sizing a Server and Disks - SQL VM:

So basically Picture one.
One big RAID with 12 SSD's - Setup the SQL VM and partition withing the VM as if it was a physical server so OS Logs E: TempDB etc.

Instead of partitioning, just use multiple vmdk.
vmdk1 = OS
vmdk2 = Logs
vmdk3 = TempDB
...

Helped a student out with one of their TestOut LabSim exercises.

I assume this would be the way to remove 5.x and install 7.x

# Stop httpd and mariadb
systemctl stop httpd
systemctl stop mariadb

# Remove all php and php modules
yum -y remove php*

# Add IUS Repo (Unless already added)
yum -y install epel-release
yum -y install https://centos7.iuscommunity.org/ius-release.rpm
rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/IUS-COMMUNITY-GPG-KEY

# Install PHP 7.1
yum -y install php71u php71u-mysqlnd php71u-bcmath php71u-cli php71u-common php71u-embedded php71u-gd php71u-mbstring php71u-mcrypt php71u-ldap php71u-json php71u-simplexml

# Start httpd and mariadb
systemctl start httpd
systemctl start mariadb

@black3dynamite Like caching?

https://www.cloudmosa.com/
Puffin's JavaScript engine and cloud computing technology use servers to preprocess and compress web pages, achieving loading times up to 5x faster and saving up to 90% of your bandwidth vs. regular web browsing.

More info:
https://www.puffinbrowser.com/windows/explain_cloud_server/
When you browse with Puffin’s cloud server, the page will load faster, your computer will be more secure and it will save more CPU and memory.

Puffin will first load webpage in its high speed cloud servers, and send compressed data to your computer. Your page load speed is faster not only because the cloud server preprocesses the webpage, but also because it compresses data so that you download less data to show the webpage.

The cloud server also secures your computer by blocking any malicious website from your computer. Because the webpages are processed in the cloud, any malicious code has absolutely no chance of reaching your computer. Your computer will only receive 100% safe data from the cloud servers.

When using the cloud server to share the load of web browsing, you can save more than 50% CPU load and memory usage compares to other web browsers.

Within a powershell script

cmd.exe /c "net user adminuser password /add"
cmd.exe /c "net localgroup administrators adminuser /add"
cmd.exe /c "wmic path Win32_UserAccount where Name='adminuser' set PasswordExpires=false"

#To remove Users group from adminuser and only have Administrators
cmd.exe /c "net localgroup users adminuser /del"

Well that was suprising.

But did you like it or not? Because @NashBrydges obviously feels it was not worth it.

I like it. But I would have enjoyed it more as tv series instead.
It felt like they were trying to cram to much and moved to fast.

I'm looking into using a mix of NetworkDNA and Citrix XenServer documentation formats for my wiki.

NetworkDNA

Citrix XenServer

A windows 10 system with the hyper-v manager role and you connect and manage the hyper-v fleet.

This is the problem, i've never been able to just install Hyper-V on a server then enable the Manager on a machine and it "Just" work. There has always been an issue with connection, with security, firewalls etc etc.

So a simple install this, install that then you login via a web interface

Install Windows Admin Center and use that to manage Hyper-V.

Dell OptiPlex Micro desktops is our preferred choice for the majority of our users.

So talking with my boss and I explained how I've tried different OS's through the few years I have been working with computers. He tells me about another system we used to have in which they use multiuser Dos.
I told him how I'm sure ill never use it but id love to give them a read... well

Then hands me a brand new multiuser dos book ( 3 books total, all still packaged) and says " It's your lucky day. It's brand new and we dont use it any more."

Not a good use of your time. SO many better things out there to read.

Suggestions?

Its easier to manage access to file shares using a role-based access control.

Try to avoid adding the user directly on the shares permissions or NTFS permissions. Use groups for that.

I prefer a real Mexican restaurant like Betos.

Thanks for the WIKIWP recommendation from @Tim_G

There are demos of what WikiWP looks like too.
