There are a range of TCP/UDP required ports for the solution to work. Once example is EDT. Our DC team have that on to help the user experience for remote connections. I think that is UDP 2598. There are other examples too.

TCP / UDP : 2598
TCP / UDP : 443
TCP: 8008
UDP: 16500 - 16509

I'm not the citrix expert in our shop, but we're full VDI (XenDesktop) with S4B and Zoom both running HDX and the only thing that we have to have open to the internet is HTTP and HTTPS incoming. I'd ask the questions surrounding why those other ports have to be open inbound (and make sure that the answers make sense) before spending anything or adding more moving parts into the picture than you've already got.

@dafyre said in NIC issue windows 7:

In the Network Adapter options, disable anything that says power managment.

There's a couple of power management options on the NIC, but IIRC there's some bus-related power management options in the power-profiles. I've seen the NIC-related options take an interface off-line, but where you're saying that it's disappearing completely, I'd be more inclined to look at PCI or chipset drivers and settings.

Depending on your workflows it might be best / easiest to leverage the "Teams" setup and mentality. The teams to which a user belongs are automatically listed in their teams view and they can either access the team files directly within the teams app or there's an "Open in SharePoint" option.

Watch out for moving groups that are heavy excel users. It's been my experience that they love to link to external documents with drive letters or paths that will throw you for a loop and they'll deny (or be completely unaware) that's why they hate the new file setup.

Good luck and keep us posted, we've got a similar undertaking on the radar here at my new gig.

All good points.... I've been sitting alone with my thoughts for too long, good thing it's Friday.... Just an hour left

I'd looked at SIEMonster a couple of times over the years and while the idea seemed interesting the execution and setup struck me as a bit over the top and gimicky.

Wazuh might fit the bill but any SIEM or log management / aggregation / alerting setup is going to take a while to get up and running.... not necessarily to stand-up the server(s) and start collecting data, but to tune the alerts, dashboards etc so that there's value in the data that you're collecting.

What kind of information / monitoring are you looking to get?

@siringo
Not necessarily a bad way to go, but the best way is going to depend on the sort of workloads these VMs are going to be running.

Someone is no doubt going to chime in to say that Hyper V is basically a dead product at this point and suggest KVM, possibly xcp-ng or proxmox.

If you can configure ALL SSDs that would be ideal, but I'd try to keep the hypervisor on a separate RAID set from the VMs. Ideally you'd have the VMs' OS disks isolated from their working data as well.

Hope this helps

I've always been into electronics and how things work. My first real summer job in HS (apart from yardwork / babysitting etc) was a student position setting up a CAP (Community Access Program) site, basically a gov't sponsored location where people could get online or get general computer and internet exposure. From there it was a long and winding road through an attempt at university (2 yrs) and a 7 year run doing customer service and tech support in a couple of different call centers. Due to "restructuring" I was able to return to school with gov't assistance and did a 2 yr college program in Networking and Security..... Got into Linux because I got fed up with having to fight with windows and overpriced software, cut my teeth on Slackware back in 2004 or so.

@WrCombs Thanks!

@scottalanmiller @PhlipElder we're using http://www.iristel.com/business/products/sip-trunking for our Canadian sites. I don't look after the telecom stuff but from what I understand they're closer to a 1st tier provider and actually resell to many of the other sip providers

Just a thought, maybe we should start a revolution and all move to opensuse? </troll>

good sunday morning to you all. blue skies & sunshine.
expecting something around 26 degrees C for the 25th.

Nice , much better than us over here. We’re expecting around 40C

Most of the fall here felt more like the middle of winter, then on the first full day of winter we got something like 50mm of rain and 10 degrees C.....

@scottalanmiller Yep, it's in the docs export to json from the default, setup the mongodb instance and then import. Also have to update the server config with the mongodb connection string but it all looked pretty simple and straightforward

Might be worthwhile checking to see if there's something already available within your payroll or HR software. Just to avoid re-inventing something that you might already have.

That thing is a hunk of shoot

Bah, still looks like an overpriced cheese grater

@scottalanmiller If anyone else is playing with this, the trick in my environment seems to be the "Interactive Only" installer...

I heard Moose meat is pretty tasty. I might have to come to ol Canada and have @MattSpeller introduce me and a Moose (moose on the receiving end of a large caliber weapon).

It's good but can be difficult to cook since it's typically very lean. Works really well in simmered dishes like a stew or ground up and used in place of beef on pizza. For anything else most people mix the ground moose with ground pork, otherwise it winds up being too dry. I'd never tried it myself until we moved to the spouse's hometown. Where's I'm from (PEI) there's no big game, so my first taste of moose was at the age of..... 23... I think?

They actually wasted time making a screen saver? WTF If there is one thing everyone universally wants removed today....

Admins and power users want to get rid of screen savers... eye candy keeps the rest of the people busy

@Ylian Awesome that you found us. I'm actually looking at possibly having to support both of those use cases.

Shit I even have an older server at my house that I can't use for my lab any more.

If you wanted a server to lab with, come get it.

Will it be compatible with my BSL-4 lab? I got some mad scientist projects I'm working on.

sure?

Here I am in my BSL-4 lab posting to Mangolassi. Gotta protect yourself from hackers.

I need this in my house. For science-ing.

I need this for protection from the never-ending barrage of flu / cold / plagues that the kids and spouse bring home from school and daycare.
