If you're using the same sites regularly yes, root hints can work fine. Or assuming you never scavenge DNS, but having the first time the page loads every time take way longer is hardly a great solution. Forwarders exist for a reason after all. Don't use them if you don't want to, but don't...

IE11 works fine on 8.1 for msn.com. Though I wouldn't use that site by choice.

:rolleyes:

Is that what's doing that? Son of a bitch, that annoys the hell out of me.

Ah nothing like an IE clusterfuck post.

Why are you not just setting your forwarders to google and opendns? Using root hints is the slowest way I can think of to use DNS.

You modified permissions on the app data folder and don't think application problems might somehow be related?

Dell T320 stuffed full of ram, 1TB WD black drives, and extra gig ports. Works quite well but wasn't cheap.

I don't honestly plan to upgrade the DB. I'm building an entirely new DC deployment and then probably cold migrating everything across. I got burned so bad by 5.1 I'm not touching the live environment till I know I have something to implement. Though I appreciate you checking into it. Also...

I actually plan to take what your wrote and use it during my next 4.1 - 5.5 upgrade.

It's not that there aren't ways around it. It's that nothing is documented at all. I'm not trying to sound like some fanboy or something slagging on VMware but they seem like they don't give a shit at all anymore. It's frustrating and pisses me off. Getting told "We've deleted all the AD...

If they're changing how the workflows functions it would be nice if they were to post some documentation explaining why and how they changed them. At this point I don't trust VMware docs anymore, I find a 3rd party that has tried it first and see how they managed. Depending on how Hyper-V 4 is...

To address you and NetJunkie, without spending more time googling. You seriously think releasing a client that requires you to run a separate C# client for the Update Manager counts as 90% feature parity? Plugins still don't work for most things, their backup manager is ridiculous. As near...

Seriously? Have you never used the C# client? Now instead of making it work properly they have a web interface that only supports ~40% of the functionality of the client and in 5.1 supported even less. Instead of picking one and making it work well they're completely half assing both of them.

Rather than wringing my hands in angst over one windows license I would rather they make the fucking thing work properly.

Wait, you're calling me a troll? Forget it, it's not worth answering.

So your being a corner case means we should apply it to all users?

And then you can use I Hate Changing My Password Every 3 months1 and then I Hate Changing My Password Every 3 months2.

If you carved the raid up in the raid controller it will be presented to the OS as two separate drives. You would need to wipe them in the raid array bios and build new partitions. Theoretically if you wiped the second partition in windows you could span to the other one but that seems like a...

You've never heard of Development environments or proper file repositories? That's kind of terrifying for someone that "Owns 25% of a software company".

If someone enabled an SSH connection into a production web server for file storage here I would break their fucking arms.

I've seen people fired from corporate IT for incompetence make a ton of money selling shitty solutions to small businesses that don't know any better. So you may want to tone down the self righteousness a little. Edit: Cloud for the most part is fine if you use it for the intended purpose...

Ah the old "Private Cloud". You mean our vSphere cluster? "Yeah". Anything someone else hosts for you these days is "Cloud".

That no way in hell attitude shows a fairly poor understanding of how all this infrastructure works in the first place so I'm not particularly shocked by the reaction people express. If you have issue with how much data your corporations can get about you maybe consider proper privacy...

Did you look at the link I posted? It answers your question.

The local admin account must have a password as I recall. But once you do that you should be able to set this. I'm not a big fan of autologin but I do enterprise security not childrens laptops. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-ca/windows-vista/turn-on-automatic-logon

Why the hell would you edit the OP like that instead of posting the solution? I'll test my 8.1 box at home after work but yesterday I was getting VPN errors trying to connect to work on it, I didn't pay much attention though as I was busy with other things(hangover mostly).

I just pointed my vCenter at our regular SQL DB the last time I built a 5.x setup. The current one here is a 4.1 with a local SQL install but I'm waiting on hardware to change that.

It won't hurt, take advantage of the course and then be ready to find a new job if they pin anything on you.

5.1 SSO and SSL were nearly enough to make me move to Hyper-V.

They also need to compile RT malware for ARM based processors so an x86 virus won't even run on an RT tablet. Of course neither will any x86 software that hasn't been recompiled.

MSE? Does 8.1 not have defender built in anymore?

I think you're over thinking this. DNS is painful to get right but it's a fairly basic concept. Terabytes initial explanation is pretty accurate. Tower 1 asks local DNS server for IP address www.awesome.stuff, local DNS doesn't know that IP so it asks it's DNS server, usually use you a...

Have you looked at Procurve stuff? They're usually well cheaper than cisco with nearly identical IOS and "lifetime" warranty. I say lifetime in brackets because I've never really tested that theory. We were a cisco shop at my old job.

Dude... sweet. I would love to load a couple of those in my T320 at home.

Yeah it's tricky, the worst is when you're running a bunch of different loads and have to try and figure out what is the least bad way to configure it for everything. The bigger you go the more wasted space you can be looking at too... Gah it is a brain buster at times. What RAID version are...

I never even thought of vlanning my pfsense box, don't know why as I only have 2 nics right now in my server. Guess the question I want to ask is do I need to tag the pfsense external traffic from the modem or is just tagging the port on the switch adequate? I'm not sure how to vlan the...

A T320 will do all of this for you, even a T110 2 should meet your requirements. I bought the T320 last year and it runs my home ESXi environement just fine, however it's not super cheap. I got it through the dell rep I was dealing with so I did ok there. Building server hardware personally is...

That's good to know, I hadn't seen the e1000 issue. Unfortunately I don't know much about NFS so can't offer much help. I have an NFS target on my QNAP that I point at but I haven't done much testing with it.

I'm using a Dell T320 at home which only draws around 140w with full drives and ram but it's not cheap. You could probably just find a used Mini like was said or even just any used intel based system with an intel nic would run it. pfsense isn't very resource intensive, without knowing what...
