I have a combo of a Ryzen 7 5800X and the ASUS B550-F Gaming board SOLD. It's the CPU only and the board can come with whatever accessories you may need. The heatsinks and m.2 screws are already on the board, I/O shield is built in. The stock mounting bracket is included for an HSF. I have...

I decided to upgrade our three towers rather than make the jump to AM5, so I need to offload a pile of unused equipment. I have Heatware under DeaconFrost and PayPal is my preferred payment method. All prices include shipping. Looking for an SFX Power Supply. CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X - $160...

I have a license for ESXi 7.0. I'm setting up a small home lab for my Linux servers and for my wife to get some practice with virtualization. We work for the same company and she's looking to build on her desktop support role, and I'm looking to build on my Linux server knowledge. I have two...

I am upgrading from a 3060 to a 3070 that has two 8-pin power connectors. The power cable from my PSU has two connectors on the end. Can I use a single cable to power the 3070, or is it better/required to run a second power cable from my PSU? I've never had a GPU with dual power before.

I decided to upgrade our three towers rather than make the jump to AM5, so I need to offload a pile of unused equipment. I have Heatware under DeaconFrost and PayPal is my preferred payment method. All prices include shipping. Looking for an i7-8700 non-K, CPU only. Monitor: Gigabyte G27QC...

I attempted to clean install Windows 11 22H2 on my work laptop as a weekend project. Everything seemed to be working well, until I tried to add my user as a local admin. I kept getting a username or password is incorrect for my domain admin creds. I was able to RDP into a domain controller to...

I'm not the greatest at writing PowerShell scripts, nor am I successful in finding an answer via Google. If Robocopy is better for this task, I'd gladly use that instead. I want to schedule a task to run a script (easy part). The script in question need to hit a path, say C:\Build\Packages\...

My wife has been a hobbyist photographer for a few years and uses it mainly as a fundraiser for her annual walk. She has Crohn's, so photo-editing is something she enjoys doing, especially when she isn't feeling great. I am building her a tower to act is her processing station. She has a...

Sorry for this being vague, but I'm still gathering the details. I handle installing certificates we get from partners and clients on several servers so they can reach out securely to push or pull data. I normally get one at a time, so I've been installing them into the Certificate Management...

We bought our graphic designer a new M1 Macbook Pro and within a week, it began giving her odd issues when trying to run software updates. She gets a prompt stating she that she needs to be the owner of the laptop in order to run updates. There are two accounts on this laptop, the local one I...

I'm looking to build a tower for my 11-year-old niece so she can get into gaming. I have all the components, but that list includes a Ryzen 3 3200G that I feel would be wasted in her tower, since it will have a dedicated video card. Does anyone have a 2600 or 3600, or so that would go with a...

I'm trying to clean up two OUs in our Active Directory that contain workstations/computer accounts. Our previous Desktop guy didn't delete the accounts as they were decommissioned or renamed, so we have plenty of stale objects. I'm trying to clean up the list so our new Desktop Support person...

I assume many of you are in the same boat as me, managing multiple servers from your Windows laptop. I manage close to 600 servers, most on-prem in ESXi and a small percentage in AWS. For Windows servers, I use a combination of RDP, ESXi console, and the old RDCMan to connect in to them. I...

What's the difference between the resolv.conf file and the netplan yaml file, in terms of setting DNS servers? When I build Ubuntu 20.04 LTS servers and enter in our DNS servers, they are entered into the netplan.yaml file. However, it seems that some of our servers are ignoring these settings...

It finally happened. My wife is now working at my company as a helpdesk support engineer. She'll be working a hybrid schedule of in-office and remote, so we need to clear some space and add a desk. All of my prices include shipping, and if you want references, I have Heatware under...

I'm trying to boot from USB to do a clean install of Windows 11 on my Surface Laptop 3. The BIOS options are extremely limited, but I have them configured the way Microsoft recommends. I can boot to USB just fine. The problem is, when the initial screen loads, asking me to choose a language...

I am about to post a new thread, and I've gotten warnings/removals in the past. I'm just trying to get a clear answer as to what is the proper format of marking an item as sold. Do I remove it completely? I know there have been discussions on the subject with various opinions. I was always...

This may be a stupid easy question, but my wife and I have Office 365 E3 accounts. In poking around the settings, I see Azure AD as one of the options. Do I have the ability to add our computers to Azure AD and log in, as if this was a standard domain...or is that reserved for a higher tier...

I have an old Windows 7 Ultimate tower that I am trying ti turn into an ESXi VM. The previous two identical towers worked with their Convert application. Loaded it up, sent it to our vSphere appliance, and within 40 minutes or so, I was booting them on our vBlock. This third one refuses to...

Hoping this is an easy solution, because I'm a noob to mining and this is making me want to give it up. I'll list my specs below, the problem is, I can't get HiveOS to see my second of two GPUs. I am able to run fine with either one, just not both. Power shouldn't be an issue, and I've...

This is more of a how-to type question, but I see people here and in other locations selling Steam games. I'm not looking to sell games, but how does one "unhook" a game from a library and pass it along? My nephews are starting to get into PC gaming and I have a ton of old Steam games in my...

I have two web servers in an HA pair that have roughly 60+ SSL certificates installed. We're planning to replace these with Server 2019 (possibly 2022) equivalents. Does anyone know of a application or script that would help me avoid doing this manually? Most of the certs have passwords...

So I gave up on installing Pop OS on a Dell XPS, and gave it a shot on my Maingear Vector gaming laptop. Worked like a charm. So now I'm in the customizing phase. I'm looking at four different installation methods for applications, and I'm stuck getting concise information on the differences...

I'm searching for a quick way to export a list of installed certs under the Local Computer > Personal section. I'm replacing some old servers that have a list of certs installed, and it would be helpful to create an inventory. I found some long PowerShell scripts, but they all seem to be...

I'm starting to think there's something different about the Pop OS installer when compared to other Ubuntu distributions. I've been trying to install it in two locations, once on a Dell laptop and the other is a VMWare Virtual Workstation. I boot up to a single choice to install, and then the...

All of my prices include shipping, and if you want references, I have Heatware under DeaconFrost and eBay under deaconfrost88. PayPal is my preferred method of payment. SOLD - Maingear Vector 15.6" Gaming Laptop - $700 shipped https://maingear.com/vector/ Warranty through MicroCenter...

I'm not finding a clear answer on this, but I see Ubuntu 21.04 has native AD support. That leaves me with two questions: 1. Does that include Ubuntu Server? 2. Does that include other official spins, like Budgie, Kubuntu, Mate, etc?

I just bought two new ATX CoolerMaster cases for my tower and my wife's. She picked out the TD500 and I got the MB511. Both come with RGB controllers, but they appear to only handle three fans....which is what both cases prepackage. We are upgrading from smaller MB311L cases that have three...

I've been building a few Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Servers that are running a varied list of applications. We ran system updates on one in Dev, and it updated the application packages as well, breaking certain configs. We snapshotted the server first, and could easily roll it back. Love VMWare! Is...

I need to clear space for a third desk in my basement "lab". My wife may finally be getting to work from home, somewhat. She has Crohn's and is/should be considered high risk. All of my prices include shipping, and if you want references, I have Heatware under DeaconFrost and eBay under...

I'm searching for a way, either with an application or a PowerShell script to be able to inventory some information from any server running IIS. We have about 100 servers running IIS, and I'd love to be able to inventory them, bindings, etc easily, without having to visit each one. The primary...

How are people in the FS/FT section selling Steam games? I didn't think they are exportable. The reason I ask, is I have two nephews who both are now on Steam. I haven't spent any time looking in to the Family Sharing or if it is easy to set up, but I was looking for a way to give them games...

I'm planning on getting this game for PC rather than Xbox, but that leads me to the question of what kind of controller will you be using? I can't aim to save my life with a gamepad. My FPS gaming is limited to PC. However, even though this looks to have a FPS viewpoint, I am thinking a...

I'm looking to build a mid-range gaming tower for my nephew, which will also double as a school work setup. His school district gave out iPads, but the majority of their work needs to be done with a keyboard. Go figure. Anyway, I have the most of the components already, but my local...

I am finding a lot of conflicting answers on what should be a simple question. I recently built a new tower with a 3700X processor. I have everything running perfectly, but when I do anything mildly intensive, my CPU fan becomes very audible. It currently uses the stock Wraith Prism cooler...

Just curious if anyone has been able to test or switch to using only the GOG Galaxy 2.0 launcher. My wife and I each have accounts for several services, Steam, Origin, etc. It would be nice on all of our computers to not need a half dozen launchers loaded. Has anyone been able to use just...

Any SharePoint admins? I was tasked with setting up an on-prem SharePoint server to be able to compare Project Server on-prem with our hosted Office 365 platform. I've been able to get it working using http://servername/sites/whatever. So far, so good. AD sync is working, I was able to send...

http://mirrors.usinternet.com/mint/images/linuxmint.com/stable/20 It's out in the wild, still copying to the various mirrors.

For the Linux newbs, what is all the discussion/debate surrounding snaps and why Mint is not going to enable them by default. To the newb (me), it was an easy way of installing applications. What's the counter argument...the one against snaps. I'm not trying to fan the flames, just asking out...

So I've been a strong opponent of multi-boot systems, mainly because I didn't like the potential of corrupting a Linux install that would render a Windows install useless, too. However, as I've gotten more comfortable with Linux, I'm toying around with breaking my rule of no dual boots on my...
