@allquixotic Reality is dangerous for adults as well. The 8 most dangerous reality shows ever (yes, people have died)

> In 2013, contestant Gérald Babin died on Koh-Lanta, the French version of Survivor.

The 25-year-old contestant fell ill while playing a game of tug-of-war and moments later, needed to be airlifted to hospital. He died in the helicopter after suffering several heart attacks on the journey.

I'm trying to create an AD Domain on some Server 2016 instances running as VMs in Core mode... It's slightly challenging this first time around

Ben N

On the command line?

Canadian Luke

Yea

Using PowerShell

Ben N

Canadian Luke

I have 3 servers installed right now

1 has a GUI, and that's my "router" into the local network. The other two are going to be DCs on an internal network for the VMs only

This guide looks pretty helpful

Anywhere specific you're getting stuck?

Rahul2001

Hello!

Ben N

Hi!

Rahul2001

@CanadianLuke haven't seen you here in a long time

Canadian Luke

Not stuck, just going through various guides and documenting for myself :P

@Rahul2001 Yea, work has been getting busy

Rahul2001

I have a programming competition to participate in tomorrow

Canadian Luke

20:51

Haven't spent much time on SU

Rahul2001

For competitive programming, which do you guys recommend, python or C++?

Ben N

What kind of programs will you be writing?

Rahul2001

@CanadianLuke ah

@BenN ever been on codechef?

DavidPostill

@Rahul2001 "programming conception" an odd choice of phrase ;)

Ben N

@Rahul2001 Nope

If you know both languages, I would suggest Python for its dynamism and freedom from low-level problems

Rahul2001

20:52

@DavidPostill autocorrect :p

@BenN ok, cool, thanks

Ben N

Usually I'm a fan of statically typed languages, but if you need to do things fast, consider dynamically typed ones

Rahul2001

I'll be online tomorrow, I should get sleep now, had a long day

Ben N

Night

Rahul2001

@BenN cool, I'll see the challenges in the morning and let you know more about them :)

Ben N

OK :)

For the past two months, I've been leading the charge on a 10-person team to deploy AD... Using Samba 4

Ben N

Ouch

Canadian Luke

We're going to start virtualizing servers as well (I'm going to use Xen, everyone else voted Virtualbox -.-)

And the project was just put on hold, and only to be deployed to two schools out of the 50 schools we have -.-

It's been a bit of a crap show... But we made tonnes of progress

Apparently, I'm the only tech with actual Active Directory experience from before this project started

It's taking an awfully long time to join the second DC to the domain...

Ben N

How long has it been?

Canadian Luke

Twenty minutes...

Ben N

It probably has to replicate the AD

Canadian Luke

It's stuck on "Creating the NTDS Settings object for this AD DC on the remote AD DC <DC1>.<domainname>

There's nothing in it yet, it's just a default DC that was created about 5 minutes before attempting to join

Ben N

Huh

What command did you use to join?

Canadian Luke

21:21

Install-WindowsFeature AD-Domain-Services -IncludeManagementTools
Install-ADDSDomainController -DomainName $DomainForestName -credential $(get-credential)

Ben N

Hm, is the $DomainForestName the name of the domain, or the forest?

Oh, here's an MS KB on this problem

Canadian Luke

OK, I'll take a look

Ben N

I need to go places now, let me know if anything interesting happens :)

...doing a routine driver update on Bifrons via Lenovo Companion.

If your really care about audio you should buy Audioquest Everest cables. After all $21,000 for 3m they must be good, right? ;) - “Counter Spiralling Geometry” and “Spread Spectrum Technology” conductors. It’s got 4 different sizes of positive conductors and eight (!) negative conductors. — DavidPostill ♦ 1 min ago

Alright, take #2... Using a new Domain Admin account I just created

Canadian Luke

22:09

Nope. Gonna do a full reinstall of my second DC
