@Jacob So I just need to figure out how to dump the OpenLDAP into AD, somehow break the Mit-krb5kdc databases and find the money to support more Windows servers.
Also make the Solaris Servers play nicely with AD logins.
Well if it were easy, it would be done incorrectly by now.
@Jacob, yeah I saw that, but those feeds are far too noisy. I was just hoping for something that would tell me if a new file was in the download portal (vmware.com/patchmgr/download.portal).
Well, that's a nice surprise to actually earn rep. I don't recall answering a question on another site that got migrated here. Usually it's the other way around.
@MarkHenderson From reading the endless bitching over on meta.SO, it sounds like the "bonus" rep is from previously deleted questions. Like votes, that rep is now going to count... if the question is "good enough"
A couple of events in the past few days have caused me to reflect - yet again - on the direction we're headed with regard to deletion on Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange.
First, a moderator on one of our larger Stack Exchange sites resigned. This parting was not acrimonious - he just decided he...
It's interesting to see the problems of being too big... right now I think SF is in a good spot - big enough to be popular (maybe not quite big enough in terms of high-rep users) but not so big to have actual factions forming up.
just a random curious question : I've been using github lately and I learned while setup, git uses ssh to communicate with the server, I'm on windows and this all seems like voodoo black magic to me! Any idea where I could get started to figure out how all this works? And understand what SSH is better on Windows?
@JourneymanGeek The problem isn't the server. The problem is everything else. SSH without all the related GNU tools and other stuff is nearly worthless.
@gideon Not stupidity, but I'd recommend reading a basic networking book. Acquiring a basic awareness of networking is probably a good idea even for application engineering.
While I agree with what they've said, I find this odd:
"Second, we won’t display reputation lost to deleted questions on your profile unless you explicitly ask for it, and won’t display it at all to other people (apart from moderators). This was an egregious privacy violation, and we sincerely apologize for not catching it sooner."
I fail to see how anything posted publicly can ever come back as a privacy vioaltion
i just saw under my Parallels Power Panel and it shows the hard limit is 600 and we are using 86 out of 600 but i dont understand why because we just have 5 domains on our VPS
I'm trying to build a simple checklist to determine the quality of a datacenter... where and what should I look for and how can I determine if what the owners say (e.g. "our UPS keep the data center up for 100 days without power") is true or not? What are typical signs or good or bad data centers?
I have a question to ask, I want to buy Wedding dresses in this web site list, looking at is good, but I still want to ask for the friends of the opinion, you think how, the following is the web site: http://www.dreqm.com
@Ladadadada all they need is a few people to think "what a stupid post to put on serverfault. They better be computer related wedding dresses...." and click on the link
For some reason I need to power up a system full of data without having any documentation about cabling.
I have :
1 * Proliant DL 180 G5 with P800
3 * full loaded smart array 60 with probably 2 logical drive full of data
Proliant DL 180 can boot without any smart array 60 attached. OS are on ...
I don't really know where to look as I'm starting out with Android.
How would I automatically make a String assigned to a Button in Android, take on an appropriate font size according to the button's size?
Considered getting a Mac Mini with OSX Server on to play around with - they do education discounts but £500 for the most entry-level mac? I'd think I'd rather bugger the legalities and make one of my laptops into a hackintosh.
Yes, the Server OS is cheap but if you get shafted for the hardware...
I saw someone the other day on SF, think it was a nic configuration or firewall rule or something, trying to configure inet 192.168.0.5/24 mask 255.255.0.0 wasn't working the way they thought it would =D
Further, certain combinations of code can cause pipeline stalls and branch prediction failures, which incur further cycle penalties, so even the same code with different data it's operating on can execute is different amounts of cycles.
And to REALLY pile it on, if other things are running on the server, they may eject data/code form the faster caches causing yet more delays even when you're running the same code on the same data on the same CPU.
Most cloud providers only measure something akin to CPU usage in uptime. Amazon does this, you're simply billed for the time your machine is turned on.
@Iain it's funny. That said, mainframes can share multiple workloads perfectly well without virtualization. It's a limitation of windows and unix that forces the "one app, one server" mentality.
I've been looking for a good piece of forum software that can also tie into a mailing list. The logical construction of discussions is almost completely identical; it's merely a matter of how the content is delivered.
@MattSimmons mailing lists were a bit before my time, so forgive me if I get the wrong end of a stick with this, but coudln't you use a forum that has email notifications and reply-by-email features?
Four years ago, I wrote a blog entry titled The Future of System Administration. It started out with “Here’s a hint…it’s not sitting at a shell prompt typing out commands.” In it, I discussed how system administration would become development, much more like coding than like swapping disks… The future is already here — it’s [...]
@MattSimmons There's a forum called Trajan - it hit a stable release last year. I don't think it has reply-by-email but I expect they would be willing to add it.
This topic was suggested by one of our users, Bart Silverstrim. He was curious about how companies could maintain an environment
where maintenance downtimes would not actually affect customer experience. Think of large sites like Google, Facebook, CNN, pretty much
any site in the quantcast or alexa top 100. These sites maintain extremely good uptime numbers, but how do they do it?
It’s no secret that sites like this employ a lot of servers to handle content delivery. There are not only load balanced server clusters
but also CDNs and caching proxies that help mitigate some of the load on t …
Thinking about the nature of some of the recent HP questions here, I'm wondering if people perceive HP ProLiant equipment as being more difficult to work with.
we have in our bladesystem c3000 (hp 469499-b21) a bl460c blade partnered with a sb40c storage blade as DAS. the bl460 is running diskless and the storage blade has 4 drives configured as raid 10 array.
on the storage blade is a blinking red light. the enclosure health summary on the insight dis...

hahaha, well, if I said it wrong I'm sure I'd get an asskicking. the boss of coredev is rather muscular and he's one of the few people at SE I'm pretty sure would be able to take me out in a fight. :)
@Dan Yeah, it's either attempt to build an msi [which would be probably slower than manually installing on the machines] or script the extracted folder to copy and install.
@Basil sorry, was away for a while - you need to try swtor - compared to the basic wow without add-in packs it's streets ahead seriously - nearly finished my first char's main story mode and haven't been this wrapped up in a story in a game for years
(I do have an objection to just data-protection-manager, for the same reason I want to castrate everyone who says "We run a SQL server" when they mean "We run Microsoft SQL Server 20xx" - Microsoft is not the only company on Earth)
@MDMarra arguably we do that for every Linux distribution (though you could argue the other way just as convincingly since they're all so radically different)
@voretaq7 If a product name is the same as the company name, then it doesn't really apply. But in instances where the product name is different, the company name has never been prepended, afaik
(and yes RedHat is a special case because they put their name into the product - but so does Microsoft: It's Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server YYYY)
