That question actually makes perfect sense and precisely describes what happens when someone tries to redirect output using a '>' to the 'mail' binary instead of a pipe as the root user
@84104 Yeah. Sadly, I'm tied to a crappy in-house web-app that all the users spend 90% of their time in, so I have to deal with the scraps they give me.
@84104 Actually, the only obstacles are political at this point. The Devs convinced the boss that we need to do a full review of all existing job code combination before I start work on LDAP so that group memberships can be stored in the web-app instead of LDAP.
These, of course, are the same people that leave iptables wide open.
And go 400 days without patching Debian.
They want the web-app to be the central repository for everything. Mostly so that they don't have to learn how to get PHP to talk to LDAP.
Which is pretty damn simple when it comes down to it.

Most DELL servers, including their latest-generation R/T series, will run non-DELL drives just fine. There are a few exceptions, like the PowerVault MD3000, MD3000i, MD3200, MD3220 and some of their Blade servers. They absolutely require "certified" DELL drives with DELL firmware (no, you can NOT...
Mostly about the consumer SATA drives not being a problem.
Use a proxy server, I think there is enough information on the internet, so you don't need post here, and you are not even on the good site, try serverfault.com — Michael B.2 hours ago
@MichaelHampton He is, but I am not sure he is wrong.
My Dell R300 is running 15K RPM SAS drives from HP.
If it had the space (the 300 is 1U) I would have added two 2TB SATA drives so I could rsync my home backups to a host fully under my control, yet at a different location
@Adrian Yeah, gambler fallacy is always an issue. In general humans suck at risk assessment for a variety of reasons (irrational fears and misunderstandings are probably the biggest culprit, followed by recency bias). Lots of people say "It's worked well for the last 3 years", which means nothing about guarantees for the n*next* 3 years.
There probably is a good chance that his consumer grade SATA drives have worked well for a long time now. I've never had one of my personal drive die before it was 6 years old; does that mean I don't need backup because no drive will die before it's 6 years old - when put that way it seems insane.
@MarkHenderson For each direction of the link you have to look at the Sender Power, Sender Antenna Gain, Propagation Loss (Distance), Receiver Antenna Gain, Receiver Sensitivity, and Link Budget. And don't forget production variance, good manufacturers publish that, or you can just boost your budget to compensate. =]
@MarkHenderson We just did a bunch of office WiFi gear shopping... It came down to Unifi (on price) and Colubris (features). We didn't end up using Unifi, so I can't say how well they would have performed. But my boss is happy as a clam with the Colubris gear we got (got it "refurbished" too, so it was less than half retail price with a full lifetime warranty)
@ChrisS Interesting. I had a look at the AeroHiv stuff @WesleyDavid mentioned but it's a bit pricy for this application. They have some fucking nice hardware though
@MarkHenderson It's better to tell in person. I can't find any decently written variants of it online so far. If you want a joke told right, you gotta write it yourself I guess.
@MarkHenderson If aesthetics are necessary, I like to just keep the whole darn AP above the drop ceiling... That does limit range slightly, but nothing to see and a few extra APs can easily make up the difference (bonus with the shorter distance you can turn power down, support more clients, and get better throughputs) - all in the general case of course.
@JourneymanGeek There was a (horrible but interesting) experiment done back in the 50's and 60's where two twins were born, but one of the twins lost their penis in a circumcision accident. A doctor advised the parents to just raise the child that lost their penis as a girl instead of a boy, to test out their theory that gender is nuture, not nature
As we now know though, gender is mostly nature. So of course the "girl" rejected all typical girl activities and preferred to act as a boy and hang out with the boys and wear boys clothes
Compared to other IP protocols ICMP is fairly small, but it does serve a large number of disparate functions. At its core ICMP was designed as the debugging, troubleshooting, and error reporting mechanism for IP. This makes it insanely valuable so a lot of thought needs to into shutting it down. ...
I hate talking about ICMP to people. Most of the time they just don't understand. It usually takes someone who actually really learned how networks work (i.e. a real Network Engineer or someone on that path) before they start realizing how useful ICMP is to, you know, keep things sane.
Funny story about that. I knew some people who were building a tightly restricted network zone with both ingress and egress filters, very tight change management controls, etc. Got services up and running in there, things went great for about a year, then one day one of those services went berserk. All kinds of shit changed and the service puked.
Turns out during approved firewall work some rulesets were standardized and echo replies/requests were permitted from the internal hosts to the DCs.
So suddenly about 1.5 years worth of GPOs that had never actually been applied all flew down the pipe.
I'm pretty solidly hooked on CoD, WM3 at the moment. I'll never buy another Nintendo product though... They just don't know what they're doing; or something.
@MarkHenderson Well seeing as I want to play it online I sort of am required to. Microsoft is banning people in the 10 seconds between dashboard and game menu.
I'm playing MW3 on Wii... The cheating is rampant. It's trivial to hack a Wii, there's no way to report cheaters to Nintendo or the game developer, there's no way to "friend" people in all the games that you have (like if you've got a buddy who has a Wii, you can't friend him in every game, you have to go into each game get your codes and enter them on eachother's consoles)
@Iain That what I was doing for 16 hours yesterday. Not cutting it too well today for some reason.
@Noah Well yeah, if I was serious. But not too many people out there would would seriously call someone a liar for saying G'day. Or at least, not too many that I've met or heard of.
Well slap my ass and call me Mary... updating the firmware for the first time in 9 years looks to have fixed the array. That's... odd.
Yeah, which was pretty weird in and of itself. Every other HP driver or firmware I've had to update from a few years out of date have required an intermediate update first.
@pauska Nah, turns out God still hates me. So at least the world makes sense again.
@Noah Pretty sure these guys are incapable of learning. Otherwise they'd just buy a new server and pay me a couple hundred bucks to set it up, instead of paying me thousands of dollars to keep a server that's worth less than a couple hundred bucks limping along.
@Noah Nah, won't do any good. I've called them so many times they won't come out any more. They just tell me stupidity still isn't against the law and to stop using 911 to report it.
How can we remove Exchange 2007 without contacting a DC?
We need to remove the roles because we want to re-utilize the server. Our domain structure has changed and no DC exists any longer for that domain.
I'm running on Windows Server 2008 R2.
I’ve been made aware that there is a video series going on over at Brocade’s community website. The series is called “Ask Alan” in which questions directed at Marketing Manager Alan Murphy have a chance at being answered with a whiteboard discourse. So far, things are fairly high level as it appears that the discussions have been aimed at introducing basic subject matte…
We have been moved to clouds. So we are planning to use the same server for other database. As well as our domain has also changed. So when i am trying to remove exchange it asking for the DC to be contacted. — kuldeep Upadhyay2 hours ago
@PatelRikin Good morning. First, we are not a support chat. Second, if something's wrong with Microsoft's site, there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.

Note: the system is connected to WSUS.

Well, strictly speaking it says that a group policy has been applied that modifies the default windows update settings. (I think it's changing the upstream server that makes that line appear), but it usually means WSUS.
Your question is off topic for Serverfault because it doesn't appear to relate to servers/networking or desktop infrastructure in a professional environment. It may be on topic for Superuser but please search their site for similar questions that may already have the answer you're looking for.

I have to admire the patience of some of our users, thank god. My heart would sink through the floor if I was trying to help someone troubleshoot AD connectivity and they said "What does that mean: 'verify that the A records for each server are correct on both servers in DNS' ? "
