CLAM DOWN posted:Got an open case with MS Premier now, but the problem is that SQL Server does not recognize a valid cert in Windows, the drop-down menu is empty. A common cause for this is a mismatched CN (must be hostname or FQDN) or incorrect usage rights, but everything is valid on the cert. I can also select the cert for RDP, so I know Windows can see it, but for some reason SQL Server cannot. Pretty sure you need the SAN field populated too, regardless of whether or not it's actually a SAN cert.

CLAM DOWN posted:Tried generating the cert a couple different ways with san&dns=hostname.fqdn, hostname, no change. Has digital signature and key enchipherment rights, and server authentication as extended usage, 2048 bit and nothing else non-standard. Pretty loving weird. I know I had a lot of trouble getting ours to work. I'm assuming the cert meets the requirements from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms189067(v=sql.105).aspx

NippleFloss posted:Yes, you can visualize AD, just have multiple physical hosts and set affinity rules to keep your redundant DCs on different hosts, have an external time server to point everything to, and disable DRS for those VMs. In VMware-land, you can't have affinity (we're actually talking about anti-affinity here) without DRS, which means you're on at least Enterprise licensing.

whaam posted:Anyone have any real world experience with the new Dell Force10 switches? Looking at the N3000 line for branch office L3 routing and distribution. On paper, we can get the same switch as the 3750X(IP Services) for literally 1/6th the price. Obviously I have some reservations about Dell vs Cisco but I've heard several people have good experiences with this new line. I'd post this in the Cisco Questions thread - despite the title, it's really enterprise networking questions. edit: I'm not sure where you got the 1/6th of the price figure from. Going on list price alone, a Force10 N3024 is $2400 while a WS-C3750X-24T-S is $6500. Also, I'd recommend Cisco refurb if you want the brand but don't want to pay full price. The refurb stuff is great, and is covered by the same warranty/SMARTnet that the new ones are, but you save about 30%. For reference my pricing on a refurb WS-C3750X-24T-S is the same price as a new Force10. Richard Noggin fucked around with this message at 21:21 on Oct 10, 2014 |

There's more to picking a living space than how much grass you want to mow and how much space you have to fill with furniture. Of course. I wasn't trying to disparage anyone's living situation, but rather express surprise at how expensive rent can be in the city.

Misogynist posted:Briantist has some PowerShell scripts to automate this, he should probably post them. I'll elaborate a bit - we keep "template" VMs running, with Automatic Updates enabled. Periodically, we run a script that leverages ovftool to shut down the VMs, make an ovf template, and copy them to a web server. From there, we can just point VMware at the web server and we have up-to-date templates available from anywhere.

For all of you budding server admins: when you're provisioning storage, for the love of Christ please don't carve out a 2TB volume when all you need is 30GB. If you need more space down the road, it's really easy to extend volumes in Windows (and probably Linux, but that's not my area) but quite the pain in the rear end to shrink them to a more manageable size after the fact.

Zaepho posted:Conversely, If you're administering and provisioning storage for Christ's sake allow for a sane system drive size! Extending system drives is scary and something to avoid! I have these companies that have a standard of 16-20GB OS Drives. Seriously! Thin provision me but at LEAST give me 30GB so the drat thing doesn't run out of space down the line due to patches. Extending system drives on Server 2008 and up is trivial. I've done it countless times and never had a single problem. That's not to say you shouldn't have a recent backup to CYA, but there's really nothing to be scared of.

psydude posted:Got a request to deploy some Modbus SCADA signatures to our sensors. I tried calling several departments that manage physical/industrial security to see if they have any machinery or systems that utilize it on their PLCs/ICMs, but none of them know. I think this points to one of the bigger problems with industrial security, which is that the people generally in charge of maintaining these types of systems usually have no idea about the technical underpinnings. Which is exactly why Stuxnet was so successful.

TWBalls posted:This seems like the most appropriate of the IT threads to ask this. It seems that the Radiology director is getting a bit overwhelmed with doing his normal day to day stuff as well as being the 'PACS Admin'. I feel like my current position is pretty much a dead end, so I'm quite interested in this possible upcoming position and he knows that I'm quite capable as a PC/Server and sometimes network tech. However, I don't know much about PACS. So, I know there's more than a few other fellow healthcare IT folks here. Whats the best way to start learning PACS? More specifically, McKesson PACS (Recently upgraded to v. 12). McKesson will have training. PACS as a concept is fairly straightforward, but each vendor does things differently. You could always talk to the dude and see if he can offload some of the more basic admin functions to you, and learn as you go.

Our company does something like this, but I'm not sure of the ratio. I'd get it in writing that if you are terminated by them that you're not responsible for that cost.

Check out Dashlane. After hearing the news this morning, I installed it and am giving it a test drive. There are a ton of people at /r/sysadmin recommending it; not one downvote that I've seen so far. First impression is that it's cleaner and faster than LP - and I love(d) LP. Hopefully they will offer a promo deal to lure in LP expats.

bull3964 posted:If you have a 100% changeover in data, your storage snap could hit the full size of the volume, but that's it. It won't lead to the hilarious VMWare situation of a 1tb snapshot for a 30gb machine. If you had the maximum number of snapshots (32), each containing 100% changes, you'd be at ~1TB. The max size of a single VMware snapshot is the size of the underlying base disk.. If you've ever seen this in a production environment, someone should be fired.
