I'm new to VMware and despite having read the documentations, I'm having trouble.
I'm using VMware workstation Stand-Alone package to turn a physical Win Server 2008 R2 into a usable VM appliance.
The source and destination part is getting me here.
It seems using keyword "localhost" doesn't cu...
One more funny thing about being an old fart: That moment when you hear some guys talking about a "milf"... then you realize they're talking about a girl that's ten years younger than you.
@MarkHenderson I think my church is just going to let any wireless project die. They're scatterbrained and not committed. I'm all for donating my time, but not for anyone who really doesn't see a need or even wants what I can provide.
@Wesley I have a lot of autonomy at mine. Every year or so I go to them with my "grand plan" and then we figure out what we can actually afford. I implement in my own time. My next meeting with them is Wednesday
And now that they're qualified for Microsoft's incredibly cheap licenses (through our version of techsoup) we can do a lot with this years budget
They also are taking on a 2nd campus in another city, so I'm going to ask for a few grand to get a better edge router, and send one up to their for VPNing shit and also ship up some of this Ubiquiti gear
@Wesley We get Exchange for $44, Server 2012 R2 DC for ~$300/license and CALs for $2 each
But for me I could do pretty much what I want, but it's a matter of budget, which I completely understand, but the overall idea is pretty much like "Oh hey if you want to do things like backup the PCs and do something with an 'Active Director' and whatever with a private and public network... that's cute. Whatever."
There's no real sense of importance to the whole thing, so I'm not going to spend a ton of time on it if no one sees the obvious value.
@MarkHenderson Nice. I should say that they see the great importance for the website, so they talk a lot about the design, and keep it updated and all that.
@Wesley Good. Stuff like that needs a professional touch
We have a very tech focussed lead pastor, the office secretary is very technologically smart, and all but one of the staff is very IT compentant. Only person who isn't is the family pastor, but he's only part time and doesn't need to use IT for his job much. Just as long as his emails work, he's OK
They're going through a name change at the moment, so I'm taking this oppertunity to retire their SBS 2008 server and replace it with a full 2012 R2 setup
Their current domain is always in a state of fucked-ness as it had some pretty shitty things go on when it first got set up
I have a Windows 2008 Standard server. It currently has 3x 1TB drives in Software RAID 5 (as per the Disk Management Console).
I need to add another 2x 1TB drives.
Is there any way to add these two disks into the existing RAID 5 array without any data loss, or without having to back everything ...
I recently deployed a server with 5x 1TB drives (I won't mention their brand, but it was one of the big two). I was initially warned against getting large capacity drives, as a friend advised me that they have a very low MTBF, and I would be better getting more, smaller capacity drives as they ar...
I have a Windows 2008 Standard server, fresh install, fully patched with no roles installed.
This morning I went and installed the following roles:
AD Certificates
Terminal Services
IIS
When the server restarts, it goes into "Configuring Updates" for 15 minutes. It then restarts. When it res...
I have a 5-disk RAID-5 array in an SBS 2008 server, and it's been working fine for > 12 months now, but today I logged in to find this in the disk management console:
Of the five-disk array, it seems to have doubled itself up.
Array 1: Disk 1 & 5 are fine, Disk 2,3,4 are "Missing"
Array 2: D...
That was all on their SBS server; turns out it had a dodgy PSU that caused all those issues
By not providing enough power to the RAM after a RAM upgrade
Gave it a 1kw PSU and it was fine after then, but the damage had been done
The AD was pretty fuckedf
Anyway it feels nice to start from scratch. When the new domain is built I'll just do a user migration to the new domain, copy their exchange mailboxes and hopefully no more fuckery
Get this; if their SBS server restarts the "netlogon" service goes into paused state. I have a batch that runs every 10 minutes that finds all "automatic" startup type services and starts them. I shouldn't need to do that.
I'm migrating from SBS 2008 to 2011 starting tomorrow.
At least get this place up to relatively reasonable patch levels, but it's going to be dodgy in three years. Not sure what to do. Probably Office 365 them.
FFS Norton. So I had to install Kaspersky on a road warrior's laptop who just came into the office. However, I can't deploy to the laptop because Kaspersky says Norton Internet Security is already installed. However, it's not listed in Add/Remove programs. Great - so I download Norton's manual removal tool. Well not Office is fucked in the ear.
So I tried to uninstall Office... except a weird error about not having the right language pack. Then I tried to repair install, except a strange "error 1935. an error occurred during the installation of assembly component" happens which portends . NET 4 Profile being corrupted, so I repair it. Still no dice. So I remove it and reinstall it. Still nothing.
So now I'm manually looking for product GUIDs in the registry and feeding it to Microsoft's uninstall/install troubleshooter
Which supposedly ripped Office out, and yet the Office folder is still there with all the files.
I'm relatively new to serverfault/stackexchange, though not to systems administration. I've posted only a few answers here so far. In the last day, two of my posts were edited by other users. I get it, creative commons, etc. - I've been editing on wikipedia for many years, have 10k edits there, I...
I can access my local dev site on my local pc, eg:
http://mysite
But I cannot access the live site, even though it works fine on other pc's:
http://www.mysite.com
The live site gives the error in Firefox: Server Not Found.
Pinging www.mysite.com gives the error:"Ping request could not find ...
The thing about serious coding, is that it causes my mind to enter this state where it takes a while to snap out of... my head gets into this mode, a very antisocial mode, where I really have to shake it off to get back into reality.
In a way it is nice, but that it makes me more antisocial is a downside for me... I didn't need any help in that department. In a way it's like my mind is a diesel engine - slow to warm up, but once it warms up it's powerful. But it's not exactly agile. I have a hard time context switching.
Reminds me of racquetball. When my opponent throws an unusual serve at me, it catches me off guard... but after a couple of serves in the same manner, I catch on and I nail the return every time, until they switch serves again.
Yeah I'm the wrong person to talk to if you want to discuss Samba, Winbind, etc... in my opinion if you want anything to do with AD, Exchange, Lync, Microsoft... just install Windows.
@Andrew Well if it makes you feel any better, I work for an enormous corporation, and the "but Windows costs money!" attitude is still the same. Yay, FOSS everywhere, great. :P
Yeah it's funny, in past places I worked for, they had great enterprise agreements, where all licensing was so cheap, no one cared about when and where we spun up Windows servers and installed SQL this and Forefront that, whatever... it's ironic that I now work for this huge company and it's like you will get reamed for installing SQL Enterprise instead of Standard if you chose incorrectly...
Not that I ever chose incorrectly... that's never happened... </sarcasm>
On the whole I don't agree with everything they say, and they're definitely guilty of left bias... But I'm receptive to the idea of fixing things that are "broken", label that "progressive" if you'd like.

@Wesley Just delete ei.cfg from the disc and choose the correct version. I haven't done file-by-file comparison, but ostensibly that file is the only difference between editions.
@Wesley That's why Windows Anytime Upgrade works.
@Wesley Symantec opened a call center in Eugene, Oregon during the mid-1990s. They basically hired the entire hobbyist community. It was sort of like a precursor to offshoring, I suppose.
Huh. Symantec actually has acquired not one but two competing products called PC Tools. Central Point Software PC Tools in 1994 ($60 million), and WinGuides.com PC Tools in 2008 ($262 million).
I'm building a Cloud Platform, and the next phase of design involves building an extensible BaaS back end. (see http://youtu.be/lNi-05-PyEw)
The reason I think we can attempt this, is there are dozens of these kinds of extensible back end data proxy's popping up almost daily at this point, which...
@MilesErickson especially in 1994. Everything was just coming out of a nasty recession. Nobody then knew just how huge the IT industry would balloon to just 6-7 years later.
@MichaelHampton And he's a local. We should send @RyJones over to LART him.
Sincerely, I really mean it. Go fuck yourselves you pretentious fucking wanks. Take your FAQ, and your "Help Pages" and shove them up your collective pedantic asses.
This is my genuine, unfiltered user experience.
I've finally reached the point where I just don't even care about any of your sites. Your UX has dropped below your point of usefulness and I now wince at the idea of having to use your software. I'm sick and tired of having to prove to some random asshole that my question is worthwhile. I'm sick and tired of your shitty GUI. I'm sick and tired of having to deal with a myriad of…
@RobM Yep, that's one of the main reasons for being on SF in the first place. Also I find that if I have a problem of my own that I can't figure out, then I sit looking at other people's completely unrelated problems and after a while the solution to my own pops up.
I've set up a new server for my dentiss, and she uses some crappy software to read email and integrate it with her patients log. Of course said software provides no useful logging and misbehaves quite badly. Only tcpdump could show what it did.
Oh, I thought you were chatting about IT in here, my mistake :D Yeah, I don't do wood work, but I can understand now
I do need to invest in a proper drill, but damn, those are expensive. Last time I went to buy a proper one (I like contractor grade tools) I ended up buying an electric impact gun instead
