Anyone good with Biztalk? I've installed a test environment as we're evaluating different ESBs and I'm running into a dumb error trying to deploy a solution from Visual Studio to Biztalk. This is the first time I touch Biztalk, so I'm basically fumbling in the dark.  I have Biztalk Server 2016 (developer ed) on one server, SQL Server 2014 (developer ed) on another server, and a tools server with Visual Studio Community 2015. They're all on the same subnet, so no firewalls between them. The solution is just two file ports, two schemas and a transformation that just concatenates two fields from the receive port and puts it out on the send port. The class ID referenced is the SSOConfigStore Class, and I've confirmed it's registered on all three servers.

Floating licenses is the best, but also are typically expensive. I hate managing licenses.

Anyone have experience with Exchange on-prem to Exchange Online remote move migration? I inherited a migration project and I would like it to not go sideways. The hybrid connectors already setup and a couple people have been moved. My main question revolves around the actual "cutover" and "finalization" of the migration. More specifically at this time around the Dynamic distribution lists. So we are moving from Exchange 2010 to Online. The technet article in regards to dynamic distribution lists here : https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj150422(v=exchg.141).aspx states quote:On the Filter tab, select The following specific types, and then click to select the Users with Exchange mailboxes and the Users with external e-mail addresses check boxes." So options in the filter tab doesn't exist for us because it was created in powershell. Does anyone know a way around this? I was looking at the powershell commands for Exchange 2010 and it looks like this is might not be configurable through that (although it is configurable in the later versions of Exchange powershell cmdlets.) I guess a workaround is to just open up the distribution list to "non authenticated" users but there might be some concern although I doubt external users will find out/try sending to the list. Secondly, I guess the best method would be to migrate everyone over, then re-create all the Dynamic distribution lists as regular mail enabled non dynamic distribution lists on prem, have it sync over to Exchange online, then have all users wipe their local cache (so they're not emailing the old dynamic distribution list through their cache.) How would meeting rooms best be handled? Before or after? I was part of a migration in the past and I believe all the previous meeting schedules were essentially non changeable. Not sure if it was a gently caress up on the admin side or if this was just a result of migration. Any advice or gotchas would be appreciated! Thanks! lol internet. fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Oct 8, 2017 |

I'm hoping that seeing as it preserves permissions that means we aren't far away from actual NTFS permissions working in Azure Files.

Question for those doing Hyper-V clusters. If you had 6 Hyper-V physical hosts, why would you create a 6 node cluster vs 3x2 node cluster?

lol internet. posted:Question for those doing Hyper-V clusters. depends on what you plan to put on them. you might consider a 4 node and a 2 node if for instance you want to license the 2 node at the physical level for SQL but don't want to license all 6 or something like that. Are you doing Hyper-Converged, SAN or Scale out FS for the storage backend?

lol internet. posted:Question for those doing Hyper-V clusters. With a single large cluster, you're reserving the resources of one host to maintain operations in a single host failure. If you make that in to two clusters, two hosts worth of resources needs to be reserved, doubling overhead. If they're all using either the same shared storage array or some kind of vSAN I would say you're better off with the single cluster and using some old hardware around for dev to test upgrades. If you have two different storage arrays to drive each cluster, then split them up.

At one point, even one of the IT Directors had trialed PDQ long after having purchased/approved implementation of LANDESK and was impressed by how well it worked.

Does anybody do much with Intune? There's two methods for configuring certain features: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/cbernier/2017/07/11/windows-10-intune-windows-bitlocker-management-yes/ But no real explanation given as to what is 'better', or what the implications of configuring through CSPs as opposed to the UI options is. Does anybody know?

Anyone have any experience with BinaryTree's software offering for domain/e-mail migrations? We're looking into it and it looks very promising, but I'd love to hear some input from customers. This would be used for ongoing domain collapses and migrations as part of acquisitions, which seems to be their wheelhouse.

We used SmartMigrator on a 4500 user un-trusted AD migration (Company A sold a division to Competitor B, we got to do the Mail and AD migration). It works pretty darn well. But the UI is horrid, group sync is painfully slow and they don;t really provide for any automation hooks into the product. We were able to reverse engineer a few things to plug it into our pre-existing framework for migrations but we have requests in for them to build out some PowerShell capabilities. It didn't handle the O365 Tenant to Tenant part of the ad migration very well (we used BitTitan to actually migrate the mailboxes) but they have made improvements there. Any specific scenarios/questions you're interested in?

Tenant-to-tenant migrations are horrible in every way, I remain hopeful that Microsoft address the underlying need for them to even happen and can work on some sort of temporary federation with mailbox move for instances where companies merge/split and are both using Office 365.

I'd *almost* rather hybrid it and move all the mailboxes out, federate the directories, move the poo poo over, and then hybrid it all back in again.

Hell, all we did was change our company name. Microsoft said it would cost no less then $40,000 to change our name in Office365/SharePoint with the level of oversight that there wouldn't be production stopping bugs afterwards, 20k for the proprietary tool to do it and 20k for the labor. To this day we use the new name for emails, but still use @OldCompanyName.com for O365 sign-ins and SSO.

You can change your domains as much as you want, but you can never change your .onmicrosoft.com domain, which is used in SharePoint and seen if you share OneDrive files.

Be sure to read the fine print, they will absolutely not give you an inch more than what is on the scope. Don't forget to include anything in the scope if you're paying for their services. I only have experience with the lotus notes to exchange on prem product and it was good even though it had a lot of "ifs"

Question, For all my fellow “Wintel” System Administrators. How’s the job market treating you these days? I’m having a hell of a time finding anything that isn’t asking for some crazy DevOps guru. I’ve got a strong background with general Windows with AD. Throw in Hyper-V or VMware along with the networking, storage and hardware skills. Most of the O365 Suite (I have thought about teaching myself ExO) with Azure and I can do it all in Powershell. Is it supposed to be this hard?

I'm still at a loss of where to start, exactly. It all seems a little overwhelming. Do I start with picking a language and coding? Do I start with tools like Packer/Terraform and understand their utilization in in cloud deployments? Etc. and so on. The paradigm shift coming from traditional imaging and admin work is huge, and there's no crossover between the two beyond maybe some powershell.

I am in the same boat, my assumption is start by learning a language (I'm rolling python since it's popular and somewhat easy, especially if you've coded/scripted before) so you at least have a grasp on it, then jump into doing stuff on AWS/wherever. It was Methanar that posted a good write-up in the Working in IT thread, I don't have it up since I'm at work, but I've got the post saved at home if you can't find it, it's likely within his last 10-15 posts in that thread.

edit: ^^^Or follow the better DevOps advice here^^^Wrath of the Bitch King posted:I'm still at a loss of where to start, exactly. It all seems a little overwhelming. Its like any first step in IT - Pick a platform first. I was "lucky" in the fact that it was picked for me. My company decided they want at least 95% of our server and service infrastructure in Azure by the end of 2018 so I'm learning Azure. PowerShell is still king up there so if you have a strong understanding of how to script with it, that might be a good place to start. Understanding the basic concepts of how to work and automate in THE CLOUD is more important then the specific language (at least in my opinion). My only gripe with Azure is they don't make it easy to lab it out on your own without paying out of pocket. If you're interested in Azure, I've found Microsoft's Ignite YouTube channel to be pretty helpful. Traditional imaging still has a place in most organizations for the time being. Intune and Auto Pilot is cool and all but they're still missing the kind of customization you need in larger businesses that can't replace SCCM/MDT just yet. I will be happy as gently caress the day that I can offload my SCCM services off to the cloud in an affordable way but its not there yet.

The core concepts, infrastructure as code, automation, containerization, micro-services, CI/CD, etc. apply to all of the platforms, and if you understand those you shouldn't have a problem adapting to whatever platform you need. quote:My only gripe with Azure is they don't make it easy to lab it out on your own without paying out of pocket. Azure recently modified their trial to be one-year long, and include 750 hours of compute per month.

MSDN gets $150/month and theres a free developer one which is $50/month. To be honest, don't provision crazy high spec'd VMs and you'd be surprised how long the credits can last. Turn it off when not in use. SSD = auto 100/month. Stick to 2 cores. On another note. Has anyone used IPAM 2016? DHCP leases aren't showing for some of the scopes I've imported.
