@i3 said in Will I lose Connection if I ...:

Depends on the type of VPN and if you are tunneling all traffic or not. Do you have more info?

I'm playing around with this n that trying to gain some knowledge, it's just a lab environment.

What I was thinking of doing was running up an Azure Windows VM, setting up a VPN connection to that from my 2016 VPS and seeing if I can add the Azure VM as a second DC to the domain I have on my VPS.

I've read this can be done, but I don't know if once the VPN connection is in place whether I will be able to RDP back into my 2016 VPS?

hahaha. never done this before. rushing too much, went to add a new server as a 2nd DC, tried it twice, Server 2016. No errors no warnings, ran through the entire process twice, machine reboots post role install but doesn't come up with an option to log into the domain, only locally.

haha. machine is not a domain member!

That'll do it.

Funny it lets you go through the entire process without saying "Hey knucklehead, make me a domain member first".

I have a 2016 VPS I use as a lab machine.

I RDP into the box and work on it. If I set up a VPN on this machine to another machine, will that disconnect my RDP session and stop me from reconnecting??

Thanks for any help.

Looking at the KVM and wondering why it won't switch.

Monday afternoon. Never been a fun time for me. Miles away from the weekend but still close to the one just gone.

It's nice and warm here in Georgia.

Oh you're there. Hope you weren't near that Airforce crash yesterday.

Trying to stay warm, geez it's cold today @nadnerB I hope it's warmer over your side of the continent.

@nadnerb Nope just an old server room with old carpet, paint and cardboard boxes. Think it was cleaned back in the 70s some time.

Friday morning at last. Working in the stinky room today.

DM Stith. Don't know anything about him, just found him, but me likes.
Sort of a mix of ambient, indie folk, experimental, jangle pop & something else....

Another "I'm not really computer lierate"
OK I don't care, just sit there, be quiet and let me fix your problem.

Go you good thing.

I just cannot stand that saying.

Listening to Adem & imaging Acer notebooks.

Sitting at the desk fending off the cold. 7 degrees inside, no one turned on the heater.

After living in an apartment for so long and now living in a house for just over a year. I really dislike lawn and hedge bushes.

I cut them all down.

Haha. Scorched earth policy.

@nadnerb Hey g'day. It's purely for backups, no streaming or sharing req'd. I'll need at least enough space for 3 x 600GB full image backups then about 200GB for a mix of diffs. It'll be backing up 1 server & 2 PCs. Pretty much just for rebuilding from images should any machine die.

Working out which small NAS I should recommend for 4 small remote offices & funding music on Bandcamp.
