• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    Remotely reboot router without internet connection

    One of my clients has a variety of smaller sites that have a need to reboot a locked router from time to time. Is there any type of device I can place out there to be able to reboot say a Cisco 2800 series when internet is up but the router is locked?

    Implementing VDI

    We do have a vSphere deployment on 3 Dell hosts on Equallogic PS4000 for storage running ~25 Server VMs. We could probably make some storage space to play with but do not have processing or memory overhead currently. We'd be looking at minimum 1 full Cisco UCS blade chassis and a NetApp FS3220...

    Implementing VDI

    Those are some good basics there, I try to make sure I stick to that, but its always good to see. I actually an employee of the company, this is not a consulting-client relationship. A lot of my concern comes from not only the rollout, but the upkeep. Is it even possible that two people can...

    Replacing Domain controller with something more lightweight

    Thanks for the recommendations. I think our existing HP switch does DHCP too. I'll look into that possibility.

    Replacing Domain controller with something more lightweight

    I should've expressed this better but we will be removing the existing server and am looking for options in replacement. Id rather not have to buy a brand new server just to run server core, if I don't have to

    Replacing Domain controller with something more lightweight

    We have a remote site with ~5 users, 4 IP phones and a network printer. Right now we have an old Win2003 box serving as the DC for that site. It is connected back to us via 10MB layer 3 routing on a HP 5500G-EL switch. This windows server is getting quite old and I'd like to avoid the expense of...
