Just had a homemade Chorizo Egg and Cheese burrito!

@BBigford Only 3rd Party one i know is 5nine. Not sure about 2008 compatibility though

@scottalanmiller thats crazy...

I've reset a lost domain administrator account before. Here is what I did.

1. Used Offline Password and Registry boot utility, reset the administrator password (This is the Directory Services Restore Mode password)
2. Once booted in directory services restore mode I created a script that launched at startup that ran as the system account the script ran the "net user" command to reset the domain administrator password.
3. Rebooted the server into normal mode, the script ran when the computer started up and I was able to use the password I set in the script. Then I made sure to remove the script from startup.

This is interesting...

@BRRABill It might see it as a foreign configuration and you can import it, but its hard to say, one of those to just try.

Just installed an EdgeRouter X in a small satellite office!

I am going to have to give this a try. Been looking for a good Linux based Exchange/o365 client.

Just licensed the first of 3 servers for Windows Server 2016.

Honestly, I bet they have a massive turnover rate just from their entry level staff getting married and not working any more. The "went to college to find a spouse, didn't, and am now just working an entry level job so that I can meet people and get married and stop working" demographic is strong and the general business-preparedness suggests that that is the common goal.

Is that really a thing? I've only met one person like that before.

Hoping I can avoid it, but might be looking for another job soon. Wouldn't mind finding a place like that...... I may be becoming the creepy old widower tho.

Well I know where you can find one and most of them are very nice and quite cute. UT is famous for being a collective of that. Not a school known outside of Texas and inside of Texas is only known for sports, not academics, so you can guess what kind of students they tend to collect. It's why UT is definitely a "don't hire" red flag on a resume for many people.

I can confirm this...

You have been declined jobs because you went to UT ? or you've declined to hire someone because they went to UT?

Should have clarified... I can confirm that UT is only known for sports, not academics.

Are you doing individual licensing, or datacenter licensing?

Datacenter pricing just didn't quite make sense for me yet... especially as I'm moving workloads to linux when i can.

I just have a dislike of all secondary education for the most part... It is not accomplishing what it needs to, enormously expensive, and putting alot of people deeply in debt.

Upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 to 16.10 on my plex server.

I've never used or worked with Samba so dont know anything about it. The AD I thought was great for them as they want to have more 'control' over users, add more security to the network and manage permissions on folders much better. I'm familiar with AD so thought it would suit them well.

The reason we named the domain name the same as their external domain is because a Microsoft technician advised me to do so if we wanted to Sync our Office365 tenant with the on-premise server.

I can easily nuke the DC and start over, but to re-configure the 15 computers and drag everything over to their new profile is easy, but frustrating to have to spend the extra time doing it as i've just done it for their new server!!!

You can use the AD migration tool if you spin up a new DC. Then it keeps all the SIDs for the users. Just join PC to new domain and it will keep using the profiles, no need to rebuild them. I just don't know if the setup for ADMT will take more time than just doing it manually for 15 users.

Preparing for weekend 2 of my email migration to Office 365.

I'm thinking they should work. If I remember right with 2003 Server, the dell discs didn't have the VL install key on them. You had to put in the OEM sticker key in when you installed it.

Most speaker design is in the crossover and cabinet.

Except for Bose, most of their design is in the marketing.

B.O.S.E - Bring Other Sound Equipment

Something like this will work...

Evercool EC-ST001 eSATA 15.75", USB power cable 31.5" eSATA Cable For SATA HDD and SSD M-M

It uses usb for power, and esata for data.

@brianlittlejohn LOL, so I'm not alone in thinking BOSE is awful stuff. I keep seeing old BOSE gear go for sky-high prices worthy of some really special stuff, and they sound awful.

No highs, no lows, must be Bose

@johnhooks There is no way I would use CurrentC. I'm not letting merchants use an ACH payment from my account, I always use a credit card purchase that way there is at least some fraud protection with it.
